Then, I answer the question: Do you play any instruments? *Check back to see if I get us a discount code on the skirts* Here is a link to my shoes. I have already received a few emails asking about those (click here).

LAST VLOG OF THE MONTH!
Tomorrow, I kick off my Vlog Every Day in June Challenge for food bloggers. Watch the video for information!
Christy,
Thank you for the Macabi Skirt information, demo, and the link with a discount code! Girl, I ordered two of those skirts and that code saved me over $16! Wish you could see the smile on my face:) I knew after watching your demo I would need a short length, hello 5’3. However, it took me a while to order ’cause I kept wishing I was one size smaller, or 4 inches taller, lol. Looking forward to trying out my new skirts.
Joni
I hope you enjoy them Joni!!!!
Christy
Received my Macabi skirts and love them!
Thanks again for sharing!
Joni

I love that pockets are showing up again in skirts and dresses. I bought a dress at Target last month and was so happy it had pockets. I will have to look for the video where you talk about the skirt with pockets.
Me too Jen, I LOVE having pockets!!
Hi, Loving the daily challenge videos. As others have said, thank you for taking the time to chat and share your thoughts and stories with us. The most recent one about the conversation about boiled peanuts made me laugh out loud but I can totally see why it was embarrassing. lol. I don’t watch TV either. I will sometimes watch certain shows on DVD or on my computer but my actual TV is only set up for DVDs. My sister’s and her family’s is the same way and none of us minds at all. There are way more interesting things than TV that’s for sure.
Oh Christy!! Oh Christy!! I would be mortified! Bless your heart. This post pretty much left you speechless, didn’t it? I mean, really, what DO you say after that? On another note…..I think I know who the 1% you were talking about, is. I’m pretty sure that you probably don’t text with that person! A shame everybody can’t be as grateful as you, my friend.
That is so funny. How embarrassing Christy!
I am gonna just say it again, you crack me up. It took me a minute to realize what he was hearing because my southern ear heard boiled peanuts. lol thank you for always making me smile!
I didn’t know where to comment, and I’d very much like to. I listened to your radio show on depression while you were “out” writing, and I think you did a great job on it and wanted to thank you for it. It’s a tremendously important subject, and at least now we are discussing it. When I was a child, even discussing mental problems was forbidden, let alone having any.
I knew you’d know the Lincoln quote. I can recommend “Lincoln’s Melancholy” by Joshua Wolf Shenk. In it you will find a letter to a young friend who was having a great deal of trouble dealing with the death of her father. It’s the best and most beautiful thing he ever wrote, and yes, I am including the 2nd Inaugural and the Gettysburg Address. It’s a very good book and deals with how depression made him the man and President he became.
A few years ago, I started reading Sarah Young’s books daily and since then, I have filters in place, just like you. I don’t watch a lot of TV, don’t watch the news, don’t read the paper, don’t follow the stock market ups and downs-my broker will call me if we need to do something. I generally don’t go to movies. The news, and TV shows are both geared towards the negative-bad news sells, and I think that they like inflicting worry and stress and terror upon their audience. Every January, they start showing programs about mega-earthquakes, asteroids hitting the earth, life after people, the apocalypse, etc., and I am having none of it. I am much more peaceful, worry less, and usually the AOL or Yahoo! headlines are quite enough.
My brother reads about 5 newspapers from around the world daily, worries about his investments, probably considers me hopelessly uninformed, but did admit when they went out of town for several days and he didn’t have his computer and couldn’t read his papers, that things were much more peaceful. I don’t listen much to the radio anymore either. I totally agree with you about the filters. You will hear what you really need to know, and then if you want to investigate further, you can.
Please take care of yourself. You have no idea how many people say prayers for you daily.
