Thank Goodness It's Friday!

I haven't really felt much like blogging lately. My attitude hasn't been the best and it seems like everywhere I turn, there is some sort of "drama" in my life whether it be personal, issues with my extended family or trouble with my friends. But this too shall pass. I realize that there are things that I can't control (much to my dismay), and therefore I give them to God. In return I will find peace. Until then, I am a "Bummed-Out-Willis" without much to blog about.

I have been working on my own Home Management Guide (Thanks Heather!!), and that is making me feel good. If you don't know what a Home Management Guide is, it is basically a safe/handy place where you keep all of your important/frequently used household and family information. It's a great way to get and stay organized!

I am also looking forward to being featured on Heather's Blog. A while back, Heather initiated an "Interview Me" post where she will put her "hardcore journalistic abilities" to the test and ask 5 questions to the readers of her blog. She had such an amazing response, so she decided that she would feature two interviewees a week. Well, March 1st is my date, and I am really excited to play along! I will post my questions and answers, and if you would like to play along as well, leave a comment the says "Interview Me", and I too will put my journalistic abilities to the test and interview you. This is a fun way to get to know one another!

In the mean time, I completed this questionnaire on Facebook called "The Bucket List" and thought I'd post it here.

  1. Christie, great minds think alike. My post today is TGIF.

    That's great that you've been working on the HMG! Good for you!

    I'm behind on interviews, but I'm trying to get caught up today.
