There are several houses on TV that I would have loved to have lived in. I tend to like houses from old westerns, but they are a few others too for various reasons. I guess the one house from a movie I would love to live in would be Tara from Gone with the Wind. The place was beautiful. TV homes I would have loved to have lived in. 1. Lucas McCain's ranch on The Riffleman 2. The Barkley's place on Big Valley 3. The Ponedrosa (I forgot how to spell that) on Bonanza 4. Southfork on Dallas 5. The Halliwell house on Charmed 6. Collinwood on Dark Shadows 7. Mount Royal on North and South 8. the house from the first season of American Horror Story 9. Hogwarts (Harry Potter) 10. Jupiter II (Lost In Space) 11. the house on Witches of East End 12. Adam's Family house 13. the Munster's house 14. the Carrington Mansion on Dynasty News In My World!

| Sept 2, 2014 Blogging Circle of Friends David Gerrold says," Half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb at." Do you agree or disagree" I agree with this completely! I think it is good to know your limitations and what you can't do. I believe knowing these can keep you from making costly mistakes that can be easily avoided. However, I also think that one should work on overcoming limitation whenever possible to open yourself up to new and good opportunities. Blog City Think back on the month of August 2014. Find a moment, one moment, that stands out in your memory - be it good, bad, or a little bit of both. Share it with us. August was a busy month both good and bad. It was mostly good though, only one bad thing really happened. The bad moment is the one that stands out in my head, and that was on Aug 11th. That was the day my brother took Maggie with him to South Dakota. I miss her more than ever  .Good Memories of August 2014 1. It was my most successful weight loss month (I lost 11 pounds in August)! 2. It was my most successful month for my direct sales businesses (sales,new recruits, and booking online parties). 3. I got a raise at my side job (only a $5 raise, but a raise is a raise therefore good in my book). 4. I made some very useful tweaks to the gluten free cupcake recipe I've been developing. 5. I wrote a recipe for gluten free donuts (I'm still developing it though). 6. My four-legged angels, Josette and Rocky, kept me from having a very bad fall toward the end of the month (if they hadn't have been there, I could have really hurt myself). 7. I had a very successful grocery shopping trip during the last weekend of the month (I bought $17 worth of groceries and only had to pay 33 cents!) 8. I expanded my direct sales business by becoming a consultant for Fuller Brush, Norwex, Le-Vel, and Dlites. 9. Rocky learned how to detect when I'm going to have a seizure (I don't know how he did this. I didn't teach him, but he has demonstrated that he knows). 10. My mom and I started getting along better. 11. I got into a smaller clothing size. 12. I found a foundation that really works for my skin (Younique's mineral touch powder). 13. I made two You Tube videos about Country Gourmet Home. 14. I improved my energy and stamina. News In My World! I'm just busy with my direct sales businesses. I have online parties for Country Gourmet Home booked through Sept 22nd. I'm in the process of becoming a consultant for Pampered Chef and have already had a person to tell me that she wants to book a home party with me for Pampered Chef.

| Sept 1, 2014 Blog City A life - Its the stuff that happens while you wait for moments that never come. Comment, expound, elaborate, reiterate or contemplate. Yep, I can totally relate to this! I've been waiting for the life I've always wanted realizing that it's never going to be the way I want it. I'll never get to marry the man I love, nor will I ever be able to have his children... I'll never be pretty or thin.... I'll never find anything that I'm good at either. I'm stuck! I may just be having a mid-life crisis. However, I'm only 38, so I'm probably still too young for that. My Life List 1. Find something that I'm good at doing! 2. Keep trying to lose weight (I've got 127 more pounds to go) 3. Travel to a place I've never been (I really don't care where at this point since I've never really been to very many places) 4. Get out of debt (I've been working on this a good bit with my soulmate's help. Thankfully, I don't have much credit card debt left. If I could just pay off my student loans and the house off, I would be on easy street.) 5. Keep expanding my direct sales businesses. 6. Finish developing my gluten free/low fat vanilla mini cupcakes 7. Finish and get my second book published (the first one should come out either Dec 2014 or March 2015) 8. Go back to school and graduate (not sure if I want to go to Culinary school or study creative writing, history could also be another possibility) 9. Get a brand new wardrobe. 10. Remodel my house or at least make some more improvements 11. Read every book that Stephen King, VC Andrews, Bentley Little, and John Saul have ever written. 12. Go to a fondue restaurant. 13. Learn to play a musical instrument (not sure which one, but it would have to be something suitable for small hands and short, tiny fingers) Yep, my hands and fingers are very small for an adults! 14. Take a cake decorating class. Blogging Circle of Friends Labor Day - Let the following quote inspire you to write something labor (any type of labor you want) or Labor Day. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. ~ Martin Luther King Jr. Labor Day is just another day to me. At least, my mom got the day off. She deserved it to because she works one full time job and two part-time jobs. She also has to take care of my grandmother who has Parkenson's. I just hope that I can get my direct sales businesses going more, so she won't have to work so hard. News In My World! I've lost another pound to make 32 pounds lost in all! I'm no longer considered morbidly obese. My weight and BMI are both below that now (not a lot, but at least, I'm no longer in that category). I did a lot of housework today. I worked on getting the kitchen cleaned. I still have more to do in there, but I'm about halfway through. I will be working on getting that finished tomorrow. Plus, doing housework burns a lot of calories! Musical Ending! Here's a cover Waylon Jennings did of the song Turn the Page. He did it better!

This computer will blow up in 30 seconds! Run away or die! Blog City An admired mentor asks for help covering up a scandal. Did she say scandal? What is it? A short story by Stephen King came to mind when I saw this prompt. The story is called Morality. It was about a woman who worked for a preacher. He asked her to help him commit a "sin". I also thought of that show called Scandal. I only watched maybe two episodes of it, but it seemed like that lady was always cover up a bunch of stuff. News In My World! Not much going on here! I've signed up some people to join my Country Gourmet Home and Le-Vel teams. I hope to sign up some to join my Fuller Brush and Dlites team soon. I'm on the second day of the Bread and Butter diet except I just can't bring myself to add butter to it. It's a four day diet, so at the end of the day, I will be halfway through it. I just hope to have lost some weight by Sunday or Monday. I've lost about four or five pounds since Saturday for a total weight loss of 31 pounds. Let's see what else is going on, I will be going to a month long Bible study starting the 7th. I'm trying to get some views for my two You Tube videos.

| Aug 25, 2014 Blog City What do you like to find in a blog prompt? Do you prefer open-ended or very specific prompts? Is there a particular type or element of a prompt that you dislike? Do you have a prompt that you think would be great? Include it and I'll see what I can do to make that happen. I like most of the blog prompts received. I enjoy the variety. The only ones I don't like are the ones about writing a story or poem because it's hard for me to come up with stuff like that in 24 hours or less. My mind tends to be slow! LOL! Maybe a cooking/food related prompt or one about our jobs/career/business. Blogging Circle of Friends Write a story, poem, or lyrics about The Enchanted Wheelbarrow. Enchanted wheelbarrow, where did you go? I need some magic to get me through this night. I've had a bad day and night, and this is all I could come up with! News In My World! I've had a bad day. I had two light seizures, broke my toe because of one of them, and having to resolve a customer complaint (I'm self-employed in the direct sales field). Luckily, my two four-legged angels came to my rescue and kept the falls from hurting me even more! Musical Ending! Most of you probably think that Are You Lonesome Tonight? was Elvis's original song. Nope! It was written by A P Carter of the Original Carter Family. Here's a clip of them singing the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22R5IgxP_pg Bye for now! Sister of Mercy |

Dear Penny, We are sick of hearing Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and all of the other Carters on full blast! Just can't take it any more! Your Family Blog City Your younger self is about to be offered your first job. What would you tell yourself knowing what you know now?  To keep up with the theme of writing letters, I will present my answer to this topic in a letter. Dear Myself as a Youngin' Don't take the job you are about to be offered! It isn't worth it! You will end up taking care of a child along with cleaning their nasty trailer from top to bottom everyday and washing their nasty clothes too. Thirty dollars a week equals slave labor wages! You are only 14. Go have fun! Trust me, you will end up wanting to pull your hair out because this will be one of the hardest summers of your life. You will need your energy to take care of Will. Lady, and Bo Bo. Since Mom will be busy working and taking care of granny in the hospital while Dad is out on the road driving the big rig. Love, The Wiser You News In My World! I finished up the paperwork to become a consultant for Dlites and should get my consultant ID and sales kit in the next few days. I also filled out paperwork for Fuller Brush and all of that will be final after the 3rd. I did loads of housework today mostly laundry and cleaning out the refrigerator.

| Aug 21, 2014 Blog City You hear a noise coming from your book shelf. Your books are talking to each other. Which books are they? What are they saying? Books talking to each other... I'm not sure what they would say, but I bet the conversation would be interesting since most of my books are by Stephen King, Bentley Little, VC Andrews, Gregory Maguire, John Saul, Ramsey Campbell, Dean Koontz, and Clive Barker. Blogging Circle of Friends My friend and I were recently talking about how far back people can remember. What is the first memory you have and how old were you? I'm not sure about my first memories, probably around 5 or 6. Memories of my childhood are pretty foggy because back in October 2005, I lost my memory due to a grand mal seizure. My memory didn't start really coming back until around 2007-2008, but there are still big gaps in my memory, especially during childhood. News In My World! Being an independent consultant for Country Gourmet Home is going well, I've book a lot of online/facebook parties and getting several sales. I'm also in the process of become a consultant for Fuller Brush and Dlites too. My plan is to add maybe two or three more lines, so I will have a good range of products to offer. I've also done some recruiting for Country Gourmet Home and have had one to sign up in my line. I may have two more by October. I'm doing this to try to save up money to some of the things I want to do and to buy some things that my mom, the children, and I need/want. Believe it or not, some people in my family say this is selfish. I don't quite understand why... Maybe it's because I'm only concentrating on certain goals right now. Musical Ending Here's a nice little song called Maple on the Hill by the Carter Family... Yep, I'm on a major Carter family kick right now! I wonder if y'all can guess which Carter is my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7WCHz1hMP8 Bye for now! Sister of Mercy |
| August 20, 2014 Blog City Pearls. Anything you want to write about pearls. Serious or funny. When I think of pearls, I think of the show, "Leave it to Beaver", where June Cleaver wore pearls while doing housework. I also think that pearls look really classy and ladylike. I wish I had some pearls (real ones, not the cheap beads). Blogging Circle of Friends August was named after Augustus Caesar in 8 BCE.

| Aug 15, 2014 Blogging Circle of Friends You are on a long flight when you reach into the pocket of the seat, you discover a handwritten note that clearly was addressed to you, but how? And what does it say? Knowing my luck, it will be a short note that states the following. Dear Penny, Get your fat butt off of me! You're crushing me! Thanks! The Airplane Seat Blog City Hi, you were hired by Yelp, to write a restaurant review about an amazing restaurant in your city. Give us some examples of things you liked and disliked in your review. Convince us this is the place to go. I'm not really inspired to write a review of a restaurant in my town. I'm not a huge fan of any of them. I used to like the Chinese restaurant before it changed hands. The Mexican restaurant by the hotel on the highway isn't too bad. At least when you ask them not to put something on a dish, it doesn't take an act of congress to get what you want. The only other places in town to eat are McDonalds, Taco Bell, KFC (these two are in the same building), Subway, Bumpers (it's like Sonic but not that good), the other Mexican restaurant on the highway (that place sucks, I don't know how they stay in business), Shell (they sale plate lunches, fried chicken, chicken tenders, potato logs, sausage biscuits, ham biscuits, and chicken biscuits), Mike's (they sale pizzas, fried chicken, pizza sticks, and hamburgers), and Sanco (they have short order stuff like burgers and fried chicken). I almost forgot; we also have a hot dog joint. It's new, and I haven't tried it because they don't have soy/tofu dogs. I made the mistake of asking them if they had any, and the owner asked me what tofu was. WDC Soundtrackers Barrel O' Monkeys I'm actually going to share a song that isn't sung by any of the singers that I've been writing about. However, Johnny and June are in the video clip. The song is You are My Flower by Sara and Maybelle Carter. Maybelle was June's mother, and Sara (she was married to A. P Carter who was Maybelle's brother in law) was June's aunt. The song I'll Be Satisfied plays after You are My Flower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3eWqcR5WCY News In My World! I've been busy working today. I have three bookings for Country Gourmet Home online/facebook parties, several sales, and chatting with two possible recruits to become consultants under my team.

| Aug 14, 2014 Blogging Circle of Friends Talk about some common sense things you feel every person should know. The most common sense thing I can think of is that people should try to save money, especially in today's economy. Here are some easy ways to save money. 1. use coupons 2. cut out things that you don't need like premium cable channels, magazine subscriptions, ect 3. limit eating out 4. pay cash for everything unless you know for certain that you can pay the credit card bill when it comes in 5. buy used when you can 6. consider trading sites like Listia Blog City Which fictional character have you fallen for?

| Aug 12, 2014 Blogging Circle of Friends Today is National Vinyl *Vinyl* Day. We are all different ages so let's hear what was your first vinyl record? If you have never owned a vinyl record what do you know about them. Did someone in your family have vinyl records? How many sizes were there since they were first introduced? Do you ever see them in music stores? I remember seeing vinyl records when I was a child. My dad had a huge collection of them. He had the regular 78s and the small 45s. The small ones would have a hit song on side A and a little known song on side B. By listening to these records with my d cad, I developed a deep love for classic country music. The ones I listened to the most were Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Merle Haggard. He also had some non-country albums. I fell in love with the Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood ones. I also remember two of my dad's 45s that I listened to, and they were both Cal Smith ones with the songs Country Bumpkin and The Lord Knows I'm Drinkin'. Blog City Today the actor/comedian Robin Williams passed away. What are your feelings about his work? How deeply are you affected by a celebrity death? Is there a particular celebrity whose passing would/has cause(d) significant grief? If this prompt too depressing for you, tell me about your favorite celebrity, dead or alive. I've never been a fan of Robin Williams. I can take him or leave him. There was one movie of his that I really loved. It's called Whatever Dreams May Come. It's a beautiful movie about death and the afterlife. There have been a few celebrity deaths that have cause some grief because I was such a fan (still am). 1. Johnny Cash 2. June Carter Cash 3. Chuck Connors 4. Rory Calhoun 5. Waylon Jennings 6. Lee Hazlewood 7. Barbara Billingsley 8. Jean Simmons I still have some favorite celebrities who are alive. 1. June Lockhart 2. Angus Scrim 3. Kris Kristofferson 4. Reese Witherspoon 5. Rose McGowan 6. Jared Paldacki 7. Jensen Ackles 8. Leonard Cohen 9. Anne Lockhart Yeah, I know that I don't like the run of the mill popular ones. I find most of them very cookie cutter and boring. I like very unique individuals.

I even let myself have some low cal ice cream and a diet lean cuisine cheese pizza. It's 2:32 pm here, and I've only had about 510 calories, so I'm still okay calorie wise.

| Aug 9, 2014 Blogging Circle of Friends What would heaven be like for you? Heaven would be a place where I can always be with my soulmate and four legged babies. It doesn't get any better than that. Blog City Was it a very good year when you turned 17? Tell us about things that happened in that year. Seventeen wasn't a good year at all. My parents made me skip my senior year of high school to attend college a year early. They also made me major in English and History. I felt that was the year that robbed me of all hope and life choices that I should have made for myself. Even though my dad admitted that they made a big mistake years later, I'm glad that I at least tried it the way they wanted because at least I can say that I honored my mother and father the way the bible tells us too. WDC Soundtrackers Barrel O'Monkeys This is an awesome song called Girl From the North Country by Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqD6m55mTGU&list=PLS0yw56Aju-CPJa3bayxGiqryQVV0S...

My shopping trip went well yesterday, and Maggie's visit to the vet went very well too. I saved tons of money by using coupons yesterday. I saved a total of $51. I've been helping my brother pack the last of his things. He's moving to Spearfish, South Dakota. He will be leaving early Monday morning and taking Maggie with him. I'm really sad about losing Maggie. I wish he would change his mind about that, but I was told that I didn't have any say in the matter.

I have to take my middle baby Maggie to get her yearly shots and go do my monthly household/grocery shopping. Not much else will be going on today. Musical Endings! I'm sharing two videos of covers of the same song. The first one is Johnny Cash's cover of Sloop John B, and the second one is Waylon Jennings cover of Sloop John B.

But, the two good things sure do sound like some luxurious hair products. And, I agree about the whole closing your eyes and learning to leap into the unknown at times. Hoping that the parachute opens at the right moment.
