100th Post

There are so many topics to cover in this my 100th post. A good place to start would be with me thanking sweet Lorie for inviting me to read her thoughts. I started thinking - I can do that. This has been great therapy for me, and a lot cheaper than seeing a professional (trust me I know, I've been there). You can write your thoughts, brag on your children/grand children, share memories, share books your reading (which would be most of mine), ask advice, and the list just goes on. There are days not one person will comment and there are days they just put a smile on your face because you know someone was interested enough to read whatever you wrote about that day. I have read blogs that made me laugh, cry, wonder about things and pray for others. Are you getting the picture (I like this thing called blogging). Enough already - let's switch topics.

This is Grand Parents weekend - Friday the school my grand daughter Kaylin attends had a breakfast for the students and their grandparents. It was really a nice thing to do and so much fun. After breakfast we walked through the book fair and bought her some books and then walked back to her classroom. Her teacher Mrs. Gordan was so very sweet. What a fun morning! Don't forget to give extra hugs and kisses to all the grandparents this weekend! Time to switch topics again.

For those of you that don't know that much about me (not that there is a lot to know) here is a summary of my life:

My full name is Deborah Lynn Honey Milam. I was born on June 7, 1957 in Huntsville Hospital to Jean and Billy Honey. I had one sister Mary Ellen that died when she was three months old. I have one brother Jeff that now lives in Gainesville, FL. I am very close to my parents (my dad has dementia that was diagnosed one year ago). My brother and I are very different in just about every way you could imagine (that relationship story will be for another day). I was married on March 23, 1980 to Robert (Bob) Clayton Milam Jr. (that relationship story will be for another day). We had our only child, a daughter named Kerrie (after my dads middle name Cary) Melissa (after one of my oldest and dearest friends) Milam on June 2, 1981 (which was also my parents 25th wedding anniversary). I live next door to my sweet neice (who is like a daughter to me) Connie her hubby Willie & their two sons. I have worked in the Medical field since 1980, for the last seven going on eight years I have worked for Crown Headache Center. My boss is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He takes time from his family to teach a Bible Study for us on Wednesday afternoon. I work with three other girls one is my sweet niece Amanda, sweet Mandy, and another one of my oldest and dearest friends Lilah. I have two beautiful grand children Kaylin and Eli( not enough words to express my love for them). Oh yes..I leave for Disney (my favorite place in this crazy world) in about three weeks! Wake up - if your still with me then bless your heart. Anything else you would like to know? Just ask and I will be glad to tell you. Switching topics again (for the last time I promise).

My sweet friend Lorie did a Pay It Forward on her 100Th post. I would like to follow by asking you to do these three things:

1) If you have not paid a visit to Clay in Hands and China Baby, please visit them. I like to blog however, not good at it so I don't know how to "link". You can find them under blogs I visit. Each one of these special women are in the process of adopting and I know they would love for you to add them to your prayer list.

2) Visit Randi's Reality, this is a problem that is effecting so many people and their families. It is really close to my heart because my sweet grand daughter's daddy is in prison right now due to his addiction with this drug. It cost him a marriage to my daughter, being with his own daughter, hurting his family and the list of hurts go on. Please pray for all that are so lost in this drug and their family.

3) Do something nice for someone you don't know. Go visit a new site and leave a nice comment (you know how much you like receiving those comments). Let someone out in traffic. Let someone in front of you at the store. There are so many little things you can do that just might make a difference in someones life.

Now those are not hard request so..... what are you waiting on??? Get going! Thank you to anyone that actually finished reading this complete thing. I just could not hush up today - sorry. God Bless you all! Love, Debbie

I visited Randi's Reality and I think I'm hooked. On the blog, not on Meth - that didn't come out right. I hope I can find time soon to go back and catch up on older posts to get the whole story. Right now I'm trying to find time to read your old posts. I did realize through this post that your daughter and I are almost the same age. My birthday is July 13, 1981. Thank you for taking the time to come read about little ol me - comments are so fun to get, I could never need drugs!

I didn't fall asleep at all! ;) It is nice getting to know everyone, and simply amazing how we can all minister to each other.

Amanda said...

Well, I knew most of these things about you, and I STILL didn't fall asleep!!!

By the way, I let a little old lady cut in front of me at Walmart yesterday, and she just thanked me so much because she was just buying 2 gallons of ice cream and it was for a birthday party.. and the cake was in the car!! I said, she better not let it melt then!! That would make for a not so fun party!! So, that was my nice deed for that day!! :)
