Thirteen Things About Me

1. I'm so frustrated at my Aunt right now. There is no need to be such a jealous witch. Yes, that's how I feel.

2. I just finished the book "If Only It Were True". It was made into the film "Just Like Heaven" The movie was good but the book was even better!

3. I found out I absolutely adore Yankee Housewarming candles. They really do scent the whole house! I have the one that smells kind of like cut grass. Mmm.. :)

4. My mom and I have special Mother's Day plans. I can't tell you what because she might read this.

5. I was bummed to find out one of my favorite Christian singers Joy Williams is not going to be singing full-time anymore. (sigh) Oh well, I guess it is her own life.

6. I love our Tempurpedic bed but it is a pain to buy sheets for. I have to pay big $$$ to get sheets that fit the really thick mattress!

7. As of yet I haven't heard back from the job I applied for.

8. I did have an assessment and I hope it went well like I thought it did!

9. Finally, I got my doctors office to correct the Metformin prescription the pharmacy filled! Will wonders never cease?! :)

10. Hopefully, the progesterone they gave me this time works, and I get my monthly friend.

11. I still haven't had her visit since December.

12. I am turning into a Witch with a capital B!

13. Prayers continue for my mom and her boyfriend Mike. That they find a really good counselor for the two of them and that it helps them with their relationship. I can tell they really love each other & it seems pretty obvious to me that they are/can be great together.

The Rich & The Poor

2006-04-05T09:10:27-07:00

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the
country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the
trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered:

"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.

We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a
creek that has no end.

We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.

Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond
our sight.

We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.

We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to
protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if
we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we
don't have.

"Life is too short and friends are too few."

Redneck Joke

2006-04-01T13:38:10-07:00

Dearest Redneck Daughter,

I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the
newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we
moved.

I won't be able to send you the address because the last Hampton, Arkansas
family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they
wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine.
I'm not to sure about it. I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain.
We haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first
time for three days and the second time for four days.

About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would
be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off
and put them in the pockets.

Bubba locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried and
hot because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.

Your sister had a baby this morning, but I haven't found out what it is
yet so I don't know if you are an aunt or uncle.
The baby looks just like your brother.

Uncle Bobby Ray fell into a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull
him out but he fought them off and drowned.
We had him cremated, he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck.
Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety.
Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they
couldn't get the tailgate down.

There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal
has happened.

Your Favorite Aunt .... Mom

Parenting License??

2006-04-01T08:50:11-07:00

Do you think people should have to have a parenting license to "procreate"? Umkay...that's an odd one. It opens up sooo many doors and windows of questions, doesn't it?
My first thoughts were "How on earth would they enforce this rule?" and "What would the punishments be for breaking it?"
I don't know if I wanna go there!
I do wanna know what you think though!

6th Graders

2006-03-31T09:08:14-07:00

Sixth grade science teacher Mrs. Samson asks her class: "Who can tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10 times its usual size when stimulated?"

Nobody raises a hand, so she calls on the first student to look her way. "Mary, can you tell me which organ of the human body expands to 10 times its usual size when stimulated?"

Mary stands up, blushing furiously. "How dare you ask such a question?" she says. "I'm going to complain to my parents, who will complain to the principal, who will have you fired!"

Mrs. Sampson is shocked by Mary's reaction, but undaunted. She asks the class the question again, and this time Sam raises his hand.

Yes, Sam?" says Mrs. Sampson. "Ma'am, the correct answer is the iris of the human eye."

"Very good, Sam. Thank you." Mrs. Sampson then turns to Mary and says, "Mary, I have 3 things to tell you: first, it's clear that you have NOT done your homework. Second, you have a DIRTY mind. And third, I fear one day you are going to be sadly disappointed."

Countdown...

Xianz - The Christian MySpace

2006-03-30T19:42:27-07:00

This is a "new" alternative to Myspace called Xianz. Please don't ask me how to pronounce it.
I just was able to join as you have to have an invite. I am not sure what I think of it at this point. It doesn't catch the eye like MySpace can. But, it may evolve into something really great. You never know. I am not using it to attract guys (obviously, I am happily married!) but it seems a good way to meet Christian friends.
So...here it is....a "semi official" invite! Click on it to go to their website!
