Rebecca, a.k.a. Journey, is new to J-Land. Can you visit her and give her a warm welcome?! Thanks, guys!! Val =)
Good morning!! I want to thank all of you for your encouragement and prayers concerning my smoking cessation!! You guys ROCK!! I am doing well. It was a very hard week emotionally and I'm still not smoking =)!! Matt had a very good friend back in Florida that killed herself three days ago. So sad. Matt was the last person to talk to her and they spoke for three hours. I am sure he is going through some guilt. She was quite young - about 20. He hasn't told me yet. I found out through Chelsea. Wow.
I'm sorry I always give you these heavy little bits before the "Weekly Sentence" game. I really should be doing proper entries. I have been in a lot of pain and have been very fatigued. I think I have 25 entries stored up in my head. LOL
Now on to the six letters for this week. I hope you have fun with these!!...
* Each Saturday I will post a set of six letters. A sentence must
be made from these letters. The letters today are: DUSBTH.
An example of a sentence could be - Do ukuleles sound better
than harps? These letters MAY NOT be re-arranged.
* There is a three - five persons judge panel (of JLand journalers)
who will pick the best sentence submitted each week. How will
they decide the winning sentence? The submission that receives
the strongest reaction - Did it make them laugh, sad, ponder, etc.?
* The winner will receive a logo for his/her blog sidebar with their
screen name on it.
* Place submissions in comments section. If you do this game as an
entry in your journal please come back and leave your ENTIRE
entry URL so your entry can be judged. Submissions are due by
Wednesday, 4PM EST. The winner will be announced Friday
morning or afternoon.
* A new set of letters will be placed in my journal, There is a
Season, every Saturday Morning.
* If you have more than one submission, only your first will
be judged.
Have fun!!

Good Friday to everyone!! I quit smoking this week. I'm on Chantix, the smoking-cessation pill. It's working rather well. I am feeling a bit cranky and very tired from the nicotine withdrawal, but other than that, it is going well. I haven't smoked in four days! If you are the praying type, I would love your prayers for continued success. It has been a super hard struggle for me to quit in the past. Thanks! So, today is time to announce the winners of "Weekly Sentence" with Val. I loved reading the sentences this week! They made me think of Spring!!! How HAPPY is that?!!!

I found this over at Krissy's journal. I thought the questions were a little different. If you want to join in the meme fun please come back and leave your entry URL in my comments section so I can read your answers! Thanks!
Your best friend tells you she is pregnant. What do you do?
I would definitely encourage her to keep the child and let her know that I was supporting her in any way I could. I would help her find any resources she needed.
When is the last time you wanted to punch someone in their face?
I don't think I have ever hit anyone in my life. Well, maybe my siblings when I was a young child. I don't ever feel like punching someone in the face, but I did get very, very angry last week.
What is the last thing you spent money on?
Cat food
Do you think you gained or lost weight this past month?
Stayed steady. I usually do.
Crunchy or Puffy Cheetos?
Uh, both. LOL
Congratulations! You just had a son. What's his name?
Christian David
And if it was a girl, she would be (I don't know if this was a question or if Krissy put it in. LOL I will answer it, though)
Anna Christine... Wow, Krissy, I noticed how similar we were with the names! I won't be having any children, though. It would be a miracle if I did!
What are you craving right now?
Nothing really
What was the last thing you cried about?
Missing my grandsons and daughter
When you buy something and your change is 2 cents, do you keep it or tell the cashier to keep it?
Both. But I usually keep it. I have a penny jar that is filling up nicely!
What color is your tissue box?
I am out of tissues right now. I would like a tissue box with flowers on it, though. LOL I need to go to the store!
Do you have a ceiling fan in your room, and if so, is there dust on that fan?
Yes I do have a ceiling fan. I love ceiling fans! They keep me cool! Um, let me go look and see if there is dust... Ugh,there is some dust. Thank you for reminding me to clean my ceiling fan.
Scariest thing you've experienced in the last year?
My boyfriend getting very sick.
Have you ever had a garage sale?
Yes, I have. My daughter talked me into it. And as Krissy said, it was NOT worth it. We did so much gathering, tagging, and sitting in the heat, to get very little money. I did enjoy spending the day with my daughter and her friend, though.
What color is your iPod?
I don't have one. I don't want one. Am I weird?
What is the last alcoholic beverage you had?
It's been so long I can't remember. Maybe a few sips of wine a few years ago at a friend's party. I don't drink.
Are you happy right now?
I have moments of happiness and joy, but I am mostly content, thank you.
Who came over last?
My boyfriend John
Do you drink beer?
NOOOOOOO
Have your brothers or sisters ever told you that you were adopted?
I look like my mom and dad and we look and act like one another, so no.
What is your favorite key on your key chain?
My house key. It allows me to enter my home, which I feel so comfortable in =)!!
What was the last movie you watched at home?
Witches of Eastwick
What is in your pocket?
I don't have a pocket. I am wearing a nightgown.
Where do you hurt?
Oh my goodness, I woke up hurting EVERYWHERE. With fibromyalgia, you have 18 tenderpoints. Every one was swollen and throbbing in pain this morning. It's gotten a little better in the past two hours, but not much. I hate hurting 24/7. ~sigh~
Has someone ever made you a Build-A-Bear?
YES!! My son made me a bear and put his voice in it! It says, "Hi Mom, it's Matt. Love you! Miss you much!" I play it when I need to hear his voice. Awww...
What's something fun you did today?
All I've done today was fiddle on this computer. That is always fun!! I am also playing fetch with Baby Boo! He hasto play fetch every morning while I'm on the computer until he gets tired. It happens somewhere between hour one and four. He isn't tired yet this morning. We are on hour three. LOL
What is your favorite aisle at Wal-Mart?
To tell you the truth, I don't like Wal-Mart. I try not to go there anymore. I have read a lot about them, and well, I try to support smaller, local businesses. But to answer the question, I would have to say the music and movies aisle.
When is your birthday?
October 27. Are you going to give me a present? LOL
Is there anything hanging from your rear view mirror?
Not right now. I sometimes have a rosary.
What kind of milk do you drink?

Wow, it's already Saturday morning again. I had a busy, busy week. I had a lot of doctor's appointments. They all went well. My boyfriend is still healing and doing fine, thank goodness. Matt (my son) is in Florida. He went for four or five days to pick up the rest of his belongings. He has decided to remain here, get an apartment, and perhaps even start college when he is a resident for one year. I am stuck taking care of his lizard that likes to eat crickets ~shiver~ . He put eight crickets in his cage before he left. They haven't stopped chirping since. LOL It sounds like summertime in my home. LOL
Now on to this week's "Weekly Sentence" game! I decided to do another theme- centered week. I hope this is to your liking!! Good luck and have lots of fun with the letters!! If you know anyone who likes wordplay fun send them this way! I introduce to you the six new letters...

This Week's Letters:
SPRING
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."
- Matthew 28: 1-10
