Congrats on you awards girl!! Gosh that tag sure had some different questions in it- --
ReplyDeleteHey we both have birthdays in August!!!
Well I will hopefully get the rest of the breakfast area wallpapered tomorrow. Not sure when DH will have time to help me with the wainscotting but I am so glad to be getting this started.
Well friend- still praying for you for those prayer request- I have been trying to memorize this verse lately " He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God" Psalm 50:23
Blessings

Chari,
ReplyDeleteI loved your little questionairre answers, you have a great sense of humor girl! You would be a great decorater. Cindy
Hmmm, so your given name is Charisse...I think that is so beautiful & it fits you, because you are beautiful! This was a fun read...and congrats on your many deserved awards! ;-) Bo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tag and so cute - loved your answers - all of them!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awards - all of them well deserved!!
Good Mornin' Chari! Whew! I'm glad my name was not on that list for true confessions! Girl..you deserve every one of those awards! You are just one of the sweetest blogging ladies I've met. I hope you know how your sweet comments can just make my whole day brighter! I will be praying for you about the smoking and weight loss! I was blessed to quit smoking when I was still a teen cause my boyfriend and now DH was allergic! But the weight is still an issue! Even though I work at Curves I have no willpower when it comes to all the bad carb things...chips, cookies, candy, etc.! I'll pass this along though...I have started the new Curves Weight Loss plan and it really works! Don't know if you have a Curves around you but I think you'd love it! God Bless you today! Lauralu :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny, Chari...LOL! Congrats on the awards!...Christine

Hi Chari, Congrats on all of those awards! I enjoyed reading about you, must be nice to only think of one thing that your hubby does that bugs you. I'm afraid I would have a really long list.LOL!! Thanks for stopping by and your nice compliments, much appreciated!! I will admit, Chase did look good in his tux! Kristen
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awards! I so enjoy when you comment - you're the best!! Also, enjoyed the tag - I'll be praying about the quitting smoking issue. For some, that is the hardest thing to do. My mother tried so many times and never could - it finally killed her. I regret that I wasn't around close to have helped her. Bob & I quit 40 years ago - just decided one day when our 10-month old son got into the ashtray and made a mess. Neither one of us ever had another cigarette and did it without any problems. Good luck to you!!!! Sally
ReplyDeleteCongrats Chari!
