Laughter is good medicine and hopefully this little story will get you to smile and chuckle.

We finished our dinner of hot wings and put the plates on the floor in front of the couch. Kirby was chasing Chomps and clumsily rolled through the plate with hotter wing sauce. After getting up he quickly realized that he was covered in a sticky substance. The first lick was a shock to his system. He tried to shake his head to cool it down. That's how each lick went: lick and head shake, until he was done. We laughed at him heartily and sure he did not enjoy the hot sauce. He did develop a taste for hot Cheetos sometime after. It is pretty funny to watch Kirby hold the cheeto down with one paw and lick all the dust off it.

I hope this story gave you a smile. Please stay tuned for Travel Tuesday: Egyptian Adventure.

Make A Difference Monday

It's make a difference Monday, a time to share encouraging stories of volunteering and nonprofits. We can all make our world a little better. I have a good friend who I share verses with. It's a small way to encourage her. There were two verses recently that I wanted to share with you as well. I hope this encourages you.

Welcome to Make a Difference Monday. This is where I like to showcase volunteerism, encouraging each other, and all things positive. Today, I would like to share with you my current project. I am on a committee that is organizing a bowling tournament in Oklahoma City, called "Fins for Pins". It's sponsored by the Central Oklahoma Parrothead Association. Yes, I am a Parrothead and proud of it. We party for a purpose. "Fins for Pins" benefits the Work Activity Center in Moore, Oklahoma. This fine organization gives disabled adults the opportunity to have a steady job and contribute to the economy. Without this center, they would not have jobs. We are currently looking for lane sponsors and if you are interested please comment below and I'll get back to you right away. I am not very good at fundraising because I don't like to ask for money but I try to give back where I can. Please stay tuned for Top Pic Tuesday.

Welcome to Make a Difference Monday. I try to highlight positivity, giving back to the community, and making the world a better place. Sometimes, I don't have a story but rather a short passage to encourage you. I have found that when I need a boost, other people do too. Making a difference does not have to be big.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NIV.

I hope you are encouraged and please share with others. I am linking up today with Julie at This Gal Cooks for Marvelous Mondays. Please stay tuned for Top Pic Tuesday.

Welcome to Make a Difference Monday. Today, I am focusing on making a difference in my health. It has recently come to my attention that I need to lose ten pounds. I will be working on nutrition and my goal is to be ten pounds lighter by January 17th. You can follow my progress on My Fitness Pal.

On a separate note, it is time to link up with my bloggy friends for a fun scarf swap! A big thank you to April at A Rustic Love for hosting this swap! I was paired up with Christina at Wifey's Notes. She sent a beautiful orange infinity scarf and I just love it! Please visit her blog to see what I sent and definitely visit April's blog. Christina sent her favorite nail polish too and I'm looking forward to painting my nails with it.
