Number 36 - Throw a surprise party. Most of you already know, but I threw a surprise party for Paul's 30th. I'm really bad with surprises, but I pulled it off. I couldn't have done it with out my mom and sister, though. While I got Paul out of the house, they put up all the decorations and got the house looking awesome. We had a great turnout - almost every person I invited showed up. That meant so much to him! Mom set up a backdrop and did a photo booth with crazy props. It was so much fun!
Number 41 - Leave a 100% tip. I did it! This was one I was really looking forward to. I know nothing about waiters' salaries, but I always hear that the bulk of what they make is in tips. I went with the girls to Jim N Nicks, and we had a very nice waiter who took excellent care of us, so I thought this might be the opportune time. I hope he got a little blessing from it.
Lent begins tomorrow. I've never participated, but decided to this year. So, during the next 40 days, I am fasting from soft drinks and chocolate. Guys, this could be the death of me, but this is going to be a good time for me to reflect on Jesus' life and death and to kind of think about my life and my relationship with Him. This isn't something huge and life changing that I'm giving up, but it's a start.
There are two things on my list that I have made revisions to: Finish knitting the pink and brown scarf, and knit scarves for Christmas presents. Ya know, I'm totally over the knitting thing. However, I've started sewing and am loving it! So, new goals: sew a scarf and sew things for Christmas presents. I've started on an infinity scarf for Kayla, but just can't get it perfected. Of course, I will update you when I do :)
Ok, so how boring was this blog? Let's make it a little exciting (bare with me, I get excited over the littlest things!). Since I'm all into sewing, and have perfected the pocket, I'd like to give away a pocket t-shirt. So, everyone who leaves a comment on my blog post (NOT MY FACEBOOK POST) by 10:00 pm on February 14 will be entered in a drawing. You pick the color of the pocket and the size of the t-shirt. You can also choose to have it monogrammed. No, I'm not cool enough yet to have a monogram machine, but I can monogram with fabric - kind of like this:
Good Luck! :) Maybe I'll have some more fun prizes in the future - like a scarf :)
I know this blog is long enough, but I wanted to leave you with a sweet Valentine. Isn't this the cutest little Valentine you've ever seen?
