Welcome to Saturday: 9.

Saturday 9: Miss Me More (2018)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Chosen because October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Learn more and spread the word that help is available.
1) This song is about a girl who ditched her high heels so she wouldn't be taller than her beau. Tell us about the most recent addition to your footwear wardrobe. Do you need to go shoe shopping?
I ordered a pair of the cutest boots from Hotter, an English shoe company! Terrific quality!!
I, also, need some winter shoes... something to wear with jeans..
2) She sings that she misses the sheets on the bed she made herself. As you answer these questions, is your bed made?
NO, but the covers are all pulled up and straightened.
3) This video shows her in a ring. Have you ever worn boxing gloves?
No
4) This week's featured artist, Kelsea Ballerini, got married on Christmas Day in 2017. That makes their anniversary easy to remember. Are you celebrating any birthdays or anniversaries this month?
Hub's birthday is in a few days.. I am ordering him some chrome rims for his truck!
5) Kelsea has been quoted as saying, "Perfect doesn't exist." She worries that we exhaust ourselves "trying to be something that isn't real." How about you? Do you believe your best is good enough? Or do you strive for perfection?
My best relates to how much I am willing to surrender my will to Christ's .. for anything I hold back is never good enough to demonstrate His character which should be the goal of every Christian. When we are saved we have redemption, and we are justified, but certainly not perfected.. That takes a life-long process of sanctification that is completed when we actually see Him! We are continually moving toward the goal!! But without Him perfection is unattainable!
6) One of Kelsea's tattoos is a square inside of a circle, aka a square peg in a round hole, on her left wrist. She says it's there to remind her that it's OK to "not fit the mold of what normal might be." Tell us about a time where you felt like a square peg in a round hole. In the world today I think many people of my generation feel that way.. the new normal is so out of the realm of normal for us who were raised in a completely different era and find so much of what is being called socially acceptable is to us unconscionable!
7) In 2018, when this song was popular, French President Emmanuel Macron lowered fuel taxes. When it's time to fill your tank, do you shop around for the best price?
I do not waste fuel driving around looking to save a few cents to the gallon,, but once we do find a good station we will stick with it! We are pleased to live near a Kroger gas station where we can redeem our points!
8) Also in 2018, Luxembourg made all public transportation free. When is the last time you rode a bus or train? It would be a toss up between the bus tour we took of Ireland or our train trip to Boston.. both about in the same year, a few years ago!
9) Random question: When did you most recently say, either out loud or to yourself, "I haven't got a thing to wear?"
Not lately enough to remember!
I need boots like those, too! I don't wear boots that extend up the thighs -- they always feel too hot and tight. But those brown ones! I'll have to look up Totter. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteLook up Hotter.. hope you find something you like!
Deletewell this was a fun post!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered some new combat boots for winter wear to work. they look awesome with jeans or casual tunics and leggings. I also wear riding boots alot to work as they are great with the casual clothes I need to wear as a prek teacher.
I lOVE being a square peg in a round hole! I had children later than most women my age (got married at 30, babies at 33 and 39) and now that I'm a month away from turning 60, I am SO GLAD i didn't get married in my 20s like so many of my Christian friends. They have felt "stuck" at home....I've been able to be home and also have a career at different seasons.....i was told I wasn't normal for wanting to work when my oldest was a toddler. But God calls each of us to different things at different times. I love the adventure of life!!
no birthdays or anniversaries in November for our family but December is me, my youngest, one of my sister's, her son, another nephew and another sister's anniversary. My parents if they were alive would be celebrating their 67th wedding anniversary on Dec 27th. I guess they'll celebrate with Jesus!!
this was a cute meme!!
Chrome rims? Nice. Those are beauties.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is a generational thing. It is as if Facebook behavior has become the norm.
$2.09 for gas? Is that the current price??? Here we are approaching $5.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice looking boots.
ReplyDeleteI just saw an ad for Hotter shoes somewhere this week. It was the first time I'd ever heard of them. They look comfy, though.
ReplyDeleteI love the changing photos of your home in your header. I thought it looked cozy and welcoming in the daylight, but it's a WOW in candlelight!
I got "Lose It For Life" and read chapter one and am working on the workbook exercises for this week. I love it and how rooted in scripture it is.
Stacy, thank your sweet comments and wow I’m so pleased you are into LIFL. I wish you could come to our small discussions. I’m sure you read it is so important to be really truthfulnwith you self as you dig into your psychology and discover anything from your life that may have triggered overeating. I can look back on many times when I have sat alone in my thoughts and I don’t want to say hated myself but I certainly was terribly disappointed in myself. One thing I am seeing is God created us to have presets for eating. A growling stomach, and knowing when we are satisfied. I am actually loving getting in tune with my growl. I had lost touch with it over the years. I try to eat only when I’m sure I'm hungry and get away from that silly strict schedule for eating that ruled my life. For me I eat anything I want I am just super careful to control how much of it I eat . If I deny my foods I like I will just gain it all back . It is all about creating a whole new way of eating not a diet.
DeleteThe black shoes you posted are like the ones I wear in the winter. They are so comfortable. I think mine are from L.L. Bean.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on #6. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
