Farewell, Sweet November!

GoodLATEnightLovahs,
Yet another MONTH has come and gone...the countdown continues, as it stands we have 86 days to become SKINNY MINNIE's as we participate in the ROYAL FAMILY 5K. This morning Ashi and I completed a couch to 5k session around our beloved, Bishop Blvd loop <3 I admire Ashi for her decision to lead a HEALTHY HAPPY lifestyle and look forward to TWO~adays~inDEC!!!

The FINAL week of November left ME in a few SILLYsituations proving no matter how BUSY or B.A.D. things may seem -- they always get BETTER & Y.O.U. are rewarded for
patience & perserverance!

This past month I have made attempts at becoming more organized in work and daily personal life. A mound of clothes,shoes and accessories await my immediate attention upstairs as I type..Nonetheless, I commit to keeping a cleaner car, finally unpacking my beloved totes from Atlanta, and
settling down in one city. (do I have to?!?)
My hobo lifestyle has come to and END.In an effort to keep a phone with a charge, I invest $45 + WASHINGTONS into additional chargers: leaving 1 in my car, Ashi's car,
Cole Couture
, & obvs108WorleyWay...Unfortunately, the chargers overcompensate,BURNthe speakers, and as of YESTERDAY my cellular could text, calculate equations, peruse the net, take photos, play games, predict the weather BUT for the LOVE of its intended PURPOSE refused PHONE CALLS!



 Keeping CALM & Carrying ON, I wait patiently not to make a rash decision,
enjoy a few days of peace & quiet vacation away from an
everBUZZing DROID robot,
then rationally determine it mandatory I re-join society
with a working cellular device.
The only Skinny (w/o a Y) of the CORE4 +++  not yet to own the iPHONE, I cave -- afterall, every AuntSHUG should be able to VideoChat with her beloved, babyPrinceW <3
(wish list: I BELIEVE my newest trinket would fit perfectly in this striped TORI case;)

Also in organ.I.zation mode COLE COUTURE, invests into #3 new racks for a Hol.I.day SALE!!! A beautiful presentation of success for a HAPPY "You don't know Jacques Friday" & FSU annihilates UF + "Hey AUBURN, WE JUST BEAT THE HELL OUTTA Y.O.U!" love BAMA Rammer Jammer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFWOtOmGhqE SATURDAY -- I actually looked forward to a working Sunday! Unfortunatley, the WIND had a bigger PLAN & PURPOSE for the display and this is how the
Morning Began:
 beautiful disaster

 I surprise myself, finding humor in the situation. I giggle thinking as a child I dreamt of being locked in a MALL after hours! FRIENDS, dreams DO COME TRUE -- Be CAREFUL what Y.O.U. wish for! Channeling my inner TiTa (just having visited @ Thanksgiving KeatonBeach.i. style) I take the series of events light heartedly, @least I can spend a few moments in the SUN, @least I am in The Capital C.I.T.Y. not 6 hours away in another STATE, @least I came to work healthy, capable of cleaning -- I start the process and use the SILLY STOR.I. for my O.W.N. Sunday SERMON:
Similar to above pictures,
NO matter how grave a situation or our lives become:
 time, patience, and a little maintenance can take away the DRAMA & M.E.S.S.
It is of uptmost importance we remain aware of our surroundings &
focus on DAILY response to the hand we have been dealt.
ALWAYS remember in the game of L.I.F.E.
Skinny's, when you're ready to FOLD call in
Y.O.U.R. lifeline -- we are a T.E.A.M.
TOGETHER, we W.I.L.L. Ace the RACE <3

Fortunately, for a happily-ever-after
to my Sunday Start...
I was able to call my life line sweet, Carr.i. Leigh --
whose hubby C.McNeill.i. came to the rescue
packing up our SALE tent before it blew into the road
& delievered a HOME-MADE packed pb&j lunch!
j'adore -- my heart smiles :)


After closing, I venture homeward bound to FPC for an evening in LIGHT&TRUTH beginning the Christmas Season just the way
The BIG Guy in the SKY intends:
With a WorshipService followed by Fellowship & GOLD GLITTER
 
A scallop shell for each of Y.O.U. + 1 for ME -- we truly do make a pretty great TEAM & for that I am FOREVER grateful!!!!

In this TIME of THANKSGIVING, + CELEBRATION of LIFE, love, & the preciousGIFT our OUR Lord know you is smart, you is kind, you is important -- LOVED & ADORED!!! Y.O.U. have purpose & a special gift of your o.w.n. to SHARE. Tis the Season to g.I.ve...


Ever, Only, Always YOURS,

The Skinny on BLACK FRIDAY!

GoodLATEnightEARLYmorning
Lovahs,

 I love to DREAM that one day we will participate in the MACY's day PARADE as TEAM SKINNY, a Turkey TROT, or perhaps a PARADE of our own in Sweet Home, Perr.i.

All of my $hopping Soul~Sisters know this is the GRANDEST day of the Y.E.A.R. & I really should be getting my beauty sleep. After Thanksgiving Dinner, Uncle Dann.i. defines procrastination:

"Why put off things you can extend indefinitely?!"


A FAM fav(Kandi has inherited UncleD's uncanny abilit.i. to fall asleep midsentence) and personal fav of ME: UncleD always let me snuggle as a child, and to this day calls ME Hea~Hea






As your beloved, Retail Therapist, I am inclined to inform you of trends you may find  beneficial this hol.I.day SEASON
As for ME, I have kicked off the heels, pulled up a HIGH PonyHaIrDo, and prepare for the BUSIEST T.I.M.E of the Y.E.A.R. Do not be MISLEAD -- there is a time & a SEASON for ALL things, and some rules of FASHION should never be BROKEN:

* Be Respectful and wear YOUR best to Church
* No matter the temptation -- WEAR a BRA
* Crocs are only for Dr.'s, NURSE's, or work in the Garden
* Clean Undies are a Necessisty! If you're feeling a little under the weather give your BUNS a BREAK-- and for Heav.i.'s sake PUT SOME WHOLE backs on.

ME g.I.ves THANKS

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY 

Lovahs,

Did you EAT too MuCh Today?!? No Worries occassionally it is permitable to GOBBLE til you WOBBLE!
 Skinny Mini TIP: Party OFF the POUNDS <3 You have this last weekend, THEN we are hitting it hard core: No MORE Ms. SHUGar Sweet Skinny -- DEC is about $elling, Sweating, & getting Situated for a happy, healthy, wealthy 2012.


Thankfully, members of TEAM SKINNY took a little time for Cel.I.brat.I.on of   LIFE & L.O.V.E. & kicked off this most beloved hol.I.day with a Pilgrim/Indian Princess CostumePar~Tay. Many THANKS to Jessi for HOSTING the joyous occasion with friends & Fam.I.li <3 I find LAUGHING to be the Best Calor.I.e burner...
 3 little INDIANS + Male Member: PACO as ch.I.ef
KANDI fully participates in WILDCAT WEDNESDAY with a MiNi WorkOUT...and I've included a little L.O.V.E. prescription for Y.O.U. from last weeks outing @ ROCKY CREEK

From the BLOGGERS <3:
I have been thinking a lot lately about my perception of surroundings and the way I respond to particular situations & series of events. I compliment myself on staying intune with my innerSPIRIT and understanding the nature of my general disposition. Unfortuantely, I find myself taking this knowledge and not using it for the greater GOOD.I continue to overextend, overspend, overindulge...
List goes ON&ON...We are a work in progess.
This verse tends to ring clear in moments like this:
Matthew 5:37


PILGRIM TERMINOLOGY:
But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

SkinnyMini Terminolog.i.
But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’
Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.


I encourage each of Y.O.U. to evaluate your current temperament towards others & daily individual life. Thoughts to consider when determining the BALANCE of your L.I.F.E
How do I feel immediately upon awaking from sleep? Refreshed? Annoyed? Excited for a New Adventure?
How do I respond to the idiot in traffic? Appauled? ANGRY? Keep Calm Carry On?
Or Am I, infact, the Original Idiot in Traffic?
How would I feel in this moment to be summoned for Jury Duty? Overwhelmed? -- this doesn't fit in my Sched.i. Unpatriotic? Rewarded: I enjoy America's freedoms every other day...

Friends, I am not suggesting we throw a PARTY everytime the rains pour down. (although a well planned HURRICANE party is rather F.U.N.) I would however; like each of us to REMEMBER the Rainbows that follow the Rain and the Calm that comes after the STORM. + + + Little life's bumps keeps things interesting & entertaining. Skinny Mini TIP: Put Your BIG g.i.r.l. panties on & DEAL with IT! Thank you all for supporting ME during this busy season of the y.e.a.r. I RUN on little sleep, unhealthy eating habits, & unbalanced WORK & PLAY. Y.O.U are my balance -- and for that I am GRATEFUL!



Birthday Prayer:
(***Now accepting GIFTS***)
In DeCeMburrr Keep ME Young & keep me FuN & in JAN we'll celebrate another FREE trip around the SUN

See Y.O.U. SOON Wild Turk.i.'sSkinnyMiniMEPoutr.i.

Have FAITH Skinny's -- There is H.O.P.E. for the FUTURE.
All joking aside, I sincerely believe we are living in a troubled nation -- lost & confused. It is ashame...Most of our priorities are out of sorts. I will confess I am GUILTY as charged. 

Channeling my inner Abe Linc.i. I found this verse:

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV)
Perhaps I should write a blog on a HUMBLE HLS -- it is much needed.


Today, I am grateful that WE, as a family, have one another to hold each member accountable.
To L.O.V.E. one another
and to P.R.A.Y. for one another...

Glory, Glory Halleiluyer -- (I am sorry I just do not think it will ever be in my nature not to be Silly)

Remember, Remember the 5th of NOVEMBER!!!

Dearest Lovahs,

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

In England the 5th of November is still commemorated each year with fireworks and bonfires culminating with the burning of effigies of Guy Fawkes (the guy). The 'guys' are made by children by filling old clothes with crumpled newspapers to look like a man.
Tradition allows British children to display their 'guys' to passers-by and asking for " A penny for the guy".

Guy Fawkes & the Gunpowder Plot
Words of "Remember Remember" refer to Guy Fawkes with origins in 17th century English history.
On the 5th November 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the government. He was tried by Judge Popham who came to London specifically for the trial from his country manor Littlecote House in Hungerford, Gloucestershire. Fawkes was sentenced to death and the  form of the execution was one of the most horrendous ever practised (hung ,drawn and quartered) which reflected the serious nature of the crime of treason.
The Tradition begins...
The following year in 1606 it became an annual custom for the King and Parliament to commission a sermon to commemorate the event. Lancelot Andrewes delivered the first of many Gunpowder Plot Sermons. This practice, together with the nursery rhyme, ensured that this crime would never be forgotten! Hence the words " Remember, remember the 5th of November" The poem is sometimes referred to as 'Please to remember the fifth of November'. It serves as a warning to each new generation that treason will never be forgotten.


*** 2012 will bring another hol.I.day celebration for this joyous day -- Fireworks, BonFires & MORE!***
