Friday Favorites! My Five

I have five favorites I pulled together from things that occurred and I made and read this week!  Enjoy and I cannot wait to read yours as well!

1.  This blog post by a local minister.  

I cried as I read it.  I've never been a homo-phobe or felt like gays and lesbians were below me because in my heart of hearts I know God doesn't make mistakes and there's a reason for everything.  When I read this post and the love this dad has for his babies I was overwhelmed.

2.  These cookies!

I made them Monday.  We had an especially fall grey day and they were the perfect dessert to go with Sausage & Potato Chowder!

3.  October

I may be a summer lover but there is no month prettier than October in NC!  I do love fall and I do miss summer and I do hate winter and I do love October.  Even though September had some super sucky parts I'm going to be thankful for all I have and all my blessings and make October wonderful no matter what the circumstances are!

4.  This kid.

My Diva has had a rough week.  Tuesday night we landed in the new ER in our little county.  I wish it was closer to the center of the county.  Oh well....  She received the best care by an awesome nurse and fabulous doctor.  I hate it when my kids are sick because I feel so helpless but I'm so thankful for the medical professionals who can make it all better!

5.  This chair.

I love my hairdresser.  She's so funny and she can really have me laughing as soon as I walk in the shop.  She's been so good to me too.  When I lost my job she cut my hair no charge.  When she did my color for the end of summer she didn't want to take payment.  Now that I've hit an all new low she tried to get me to walk out without paying for the haircut I kept putting off.  (I won!  I put the money in her apron!)  When I sit down in that chair I feel tired and worn out and ugly.  When I get up to exit that chair I feel like a million bucks and ready to take on the world.  Thanks Lizz.....you are awesome.  Your skills cannot be beat!
