Extraordinary Faith for Everyday Life
OK, before you watch this—I did not teach them to shake their boo-ties so much and I try to restrain them while in public. According to Emma, Diego taught them to "shake your body". And I’m not sure if Emma needs a pole or she’s getting ready to break out in the sprinkler. As for Lexi, she was not taught to grab her boo-ty while dancing. The clumsiness is inherited from me though. In any case, it makes me laugh.
So I have a test for you. Think of all the words that start with "A". Go ahead. Think of them.
Apple.
Amy.
Alligator.
Yeah, that’s about as far as I got in the van with Emma when she asked me to play along with her game. Then Mom and Heather got in the van on the way to O’Charley’s tonight and I asked them. So we start blurting out "A" words.
Amazing.
Alluring.
We see a sign on the interstate and say "Applebee’s". And then we drove down the road and randomly blurt out more.
Almost.
Always.
The words almost came out as word associations either by meaning or spelling.
Antacid.
Antihistamine.
Antiseptic.
Amnesia.
In fact, we spent the rest of the evening randomly blurting out words that started with "A". Heather, I have another one. Angel.
I’ve sort of ruined "A" but try it with another letter. It’s not as easy as you think.
As soon as I can get it loaded, my post for tonight has been filmed with a new camera I purchased for our youth group. Stay tuned.
Here ya go. If it doesn’t work here, here is the link.
Scott and I are working up to our 10th anniversary next August. We are wanting to definitely make a weekend of it but don’t really want to go too far from home. We are considering either Charleston or Asheville. The last time I was in Charleston, I was probably eight. My family took us and I remember a t-shirt I got. It was white with some type of picture on it and had Charleston written in purple. I also remember seeing Rainbow Row as well as walking through an outdoor market. Needless to say, I don’t remember a whole lot about it. So I’m thinking a city like that would be a great place to visit for our anniversary, especially when we’re willing to spend the extra money to go all out on a hotel, dinners and even tours.
I found that Trusted Tours has some Charleston Tours Scott and I might be interested in when we visit. I’m thinking the Carriage Tour would be perfect for a romantic day out. When Scott and I got married, he surprised me with a carriage ride right after the ceremony and I felt just like a princess. I’m thinking that tour would be quite fitting.
I pinged my Dad today with those Dilbert comic strips and he pinged me back with a link to more pictures like this one.
Wow, thanks, Dad!
This made me snort. If you’ve read recently, doesn’t look like I’m going to get that raise I deserve thought I was getting and recently was handed a new flat screen monitor. Yeah, it’s scary how close Dilbert gets to real life.
Especially when you read this one. All of us programmers were shaking our heads.
I was selected as a mom blog on http://www.pregnancysurvey.com. I see some familiar faces over there, so go check it out.
So tonight is one of those nights. Scott is at work and I have new code running for the first time at work. And it didn’t go well. And the kids are cranky and hungry and really want my attention because I’ve sat at this computer all day today. So I’m having to run back and forth between this computer and the girls. It’s gone sort of like..
run to the hall and change Lexi’s diaper that was getting ready to fall off
run back to the computer to check a chat/process
run back to my room to grab cream for Lexi and literally fight to put it on
run back to the computer to check a chat/process
run back to the kitchen to fix Cocoa Puffs for my hungry kids
run back to the computer to check a chat/process
go back in the living room to move Emma’s food tray to the recliner instead of the ottoman
run back to the computer to check a chat/process
run back to the living room because Emma and Lexi have spilled their Cocoa Puffs 3 feet across the floors while having a pillow fight
run back to the computer to check a chat/process
run back to the living room to dance with Emma during Dancing with the Stars because I promised her we would

And here I sit. The girls are playing by themselves right now and I’m still waiting on someone to do something for me. Some people think it would be so easy to work from home. I have to disagree. Totally.
