I am thinking about a way to keep myself current with my blog. I know there are several different ways that people do days, but I was thinking about doing a mixture of those and my own. Here is what I am thinking:
Moody Monday – My emotional state of mind…that could be dangerous
"Tell It Like It Is" Tuesday – What my life is like. There are so many aspects to this!
Whistful Wednesday – dreams and ideas
Thankful Thursday – I have so much to be thankful for!
Freebie or Frugal Friday – I have so much to give away.
Anyway, just a thought. I guess I will start with "Tell It Like It Is" Tuesday, although it is already Wednesday for many of you!
I lived without a bathroom sink for 6 years! When we moved into the house that we are building ourselves, I didn’t even have a kitchen sink. That weekend, we put the kitchen counter and sink into the house. I had lived with my in-laws for over a year, and was ready to have my own space, so while my dear husband was gone, I moved the kids and I in. We used that two-bowl sink for everything: washing hands, brushing teeth, doing the dishes, drinks of water, watering plants, watering the dog, and even baths for the babies as we didn’t have a bathtub for 6 months either!
It really wasn’t a big deal to us, but it was to everyone else! We got so many comments from people about why we should have a sink in the bathroom. Hey, I had running water in the house, a flushing toilet, and one working sink! What was the problem?
Well, this weekend, we were having a big bonfire party at our house and afterward one of the big families in our church was going to spend the night with us so they could go to church the next day as they live 2 hours away. My dear sweet husband decided it was time for us to have a sink in the bathroom. Down to Lowe’s we went, and picked out a vanity, sink, and even a matching medicine cabinet! He spent the whole afternoon and into the evening getting it all put together and working without any leaks.
I have to admit that it looks so pretty in there! AND, it is SO nice to take a shower, dry off, and BRUSH MY TEETH in the bathroom! My dear hubbie can also now shower and shave in the same room! I have to admit that it is pretty cool to have a bathroom sink, but don’t tell my critics.
Gasp! I thought I could have fainted to see a comment from my long lost friend! Did you ever get the email I sent you awhile back? I have missed you!
Yay, for a sink! It is always nice when you are content with something, but it is nice when you get to use it after awhile. I still when I take a shower, thank God for hot water that comes out of the faucet! It has been over 5 years since I have had it, but I am still thankful! Lights- I can do without them again! One night we had no electricity and I had to light candles and it was so nice. I sometimes think we should have one night a week where we use no lights. Anyhow, glad to see you around! If you post a frugal Friday, post the link on Crystal's website.
So glad you're posting again! I've been wondering how you are and what you all are up to. How wonderful to have a bathroom sink! Although, I don't think to not have one is too odd ~ we have friends living in a "shouse" (metal shop serving as a house), and while they do have a bathtub, there is no sink in their bathroom.
Drop by the Wives if you have time, we miss you!

It is so great to hear from you again. We are getting ready to move to Alaska in two months. I'm so excited we have wanted to back for so long, but it it wasn't God's timing, I'll be watching to see what is up around your place.
