The glass....

The glass is not half empty...It's full!!! I am thankful for today. Why? There is just so much to be thankful for. I love where I live. I have amazing friends and family. There is so much to look forward to!

Last night I played volleyball with some great people. Went to the park with my regular group of friends to play ball and turned out there was a huge group there from another church playing ball. Let me tell you they meant business! When we arrived they already had 2 net's set-up. Then my group set-up our net, then 2 more nets were constructed. We had 5 nets going at one time!!!! Amazing!

Also, I might be joining a sand volleyball league this year. Hopefully it works out and I will be in heaven! ;-) This could be a healthy addiction.

Anyway- life is good. It's hard at times and seems downright stinky at times.. but life is good. Make every moment count peeps. Look on the bright side and not the cloudy side and you will make it through.

Really bad pick-up line

So, the last couple day's I have been sick with the flu. Not so fun. Needless to say I was not in a great mood to be dealing with much.

Anywho, I logged onto a dating website I am registered with and here is the blessed e-mail I received from an unknown, faceless person who apparently liked my profile.

"Yum. I want to take a bite of you."


FOR REAL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I think I need to go hurl one more time.........

Life is too short to settle...why not reach for the stars?

When walking through life, there are some important factors to remember and remind myself consistently.

1. God is faithful. I want to be faithful back.
2. God didn't settle when he accepted me into His family, so why should I settle when looking for a man?
3. Life throws us curve balls. Its how we choose to deal with them is the key.
4. Be true to yourself and to others. That's the ticket on the train.
5. Allow yourself to love and be loved. That's the only way to live.
6. I am not a robot, I am a person.
7. My name is not "beautiful", "babe" or "sexy"...it's Annjeri. I am a person with feelings and I do have a personality. Whoda thunk?
8. Regardless of where I am at in life, life is full. Stepping out of the box and having open eyes is really important.
9. I have great family and friends. I believe some of the richest things in life come from those amazing people who bring a smile to my face.
10. I am a creative person therefore it will not do to live a life that is stifled. My creative juices have to flow.

Life is too short to settle...why not reach for the stars?

There is something to be said...

You know, there is something to be said about doing your hair all nice and cute and wearing your favorite outfit...even if it really is only for work.

It makes you feel happy..

It makes you feel confident...

Makes you feel pretty...

Dang it, I am woman hear me roar!!! LOL!!!

Anyway, since it's Friday let's have a party!!!! Have a great weekend everyone.

God is good and top 5 list..

Good Wednesday morning yall! Hope everyone had a good Tuesday. I am proclaiming that today is going to be a great day, full of blessings. Why? Because I am sick of the hum drums! LOL!

Anyway, I know God is good, well because He shows himself as being the best Father and friend ever! I fail him on a daily basis but He never fails us. So that is something to be thankful for. Amen!

OK, top 5 list of things I like about living in Colorado.
1.) Volley Ball in the park. Yup, we can actually go outside and play a sport and not keel over from heat stroke. I am sooooo glad that I don't live in AZ anymore. Sorry for all of you peeps that still do. I'm sure it's lovely....maybe.. =)


2.) Garden of the Gods. This is a beautiful park that is so close to where I live. People come here to hike, do casual walking or biking. Love it!


3.) Glen Eyrie Castle. I used to work here years ago. People go here for tea and there are places to hike around the castle. Love it!


4.) Watching movies outside. We have this place called "Shops at Briargate". It's a little outdoor shopping mall that provides family friendly movies outside during the summer.


5.) Pikes Peak. I get to see this view, with or without the snow..every day!


There is much, much more that I enjoy about living in Colorado but I will save the rest for later. Have a great day everyone.

Tuesday Manamana's

Yawn......Is it really Tuesday? It seriously needs to be Saturday so I can sleep in. Unfortunately, this weekend I did not get much sleep so I am suffering from it.

Anyway, last night was Monday night volleyball. Woot! I look forward to it all week. The wind was blowing like crazy, and it had been raining during the day. Storm clouds hovered over us for most of the night. But we played. Oh yes. Bring on the BUMP..SET...Spike! Actually, that didn't happen all the time, we were just trying to get the stinkin ball over the net!!! LOL!

In honor of our foul ball, fly away hits, and field catchers last night, here is a tribute to the sport.

It's Monday....again...

Hi ya’ll,
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I went to Gunnison Colorado this weekend with my good friend Monika. It was really fun. During the ride there (about 3.5 hrs) we talked and laughed. It was great just hanging out with her and shootin' the breeze.

On Saturday we went to the lake and swam, laid out, bobbed in the water. It was great until the wind picked up. Ugh! The water was cooooooooooold! Yes, we were crazy chicks taken a dip in what felt like freezer water. You know, when you stick your hand in a cooler full of ice? Yup, that was us. =)

Saturday evening we went to a reader’s drama that Monika's dad was in. It was great to see him in action even though it wasn't the type of play he typically is in. Then on Sunday we went on a picnic by a really large stream. It was so beautiful! I love living in Colorado!!!

So today is Monday again and it all starts over. I am hoping to do around 5-6 days of the shred this week and maybe get in some Pilates too. We are supposed to play volleyball tonight but who knows if that is going to happen being that it is only going to be in the 50's today and it's raining. Don't get me wrong, I love rain, but when I was looking forward to playing volleyball all week, it's a bummer. Oh well...

Hope everyone has a great week. Tootles for now.
