Rock of Love – Final 3

September 17, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Yes, I’m unfortunately still watching this show.  I’m SO glad Lacey is finally gone.  Her true colors and the truth finally came out this week.  Bravo to Heather for confronting a crappy situation head-on and exposing Lacey.  I love how Jess just sits back and rides the waves.  All better for her for them to fight it out. Did you notice how Bret always just sits there and listens?  He had his head down the whole time on the workout bench while they were fighting.  Probably smart on his part.

The families are interesting…didn’t really like Lacey’s dad.  I think Heather had it right when she called him pompous. What is with the prenup?  I mean really?  And if he really does know his daughter well…why portray her like he did–completely opposite of how she was in the house.  Money?  She sure didn’t talk about that.  Scholar?  Nope.  Only beer?  Whaa?  Not sexually active?  Riiight.

As for Heather’s family…her mother didn’t say much of anything.  Her dad was kinda crazy but at least he was down to earth and honest and really funny.  She does genuinely seem to have an honest relationship with them.

And for Jess..her family seems the most well-rounded.  I really liked them.

Now heading into the final two…I’m not surprised what we have here.  It’s like any other Bachelor or dating reality show…there’s the “party girl” and the “good girl”.  In this case, both are rocker girls and would probably never be seen on abc’s the Bachelor but in Bret’s world, you could call them that.  I think he should pick Jess but I’m guessing he’ll pick Heather.

Country talk

September 17, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I’ve been paying attention to how Southern my little girls and even husband talk.  Here are a few that I can recall. I’ve tried to re-spell how they say it.

carntubull – comfortable.  As in, “I can’t get carntubull”

stale – still.  As in, “Be stale!”

dihent – didn’t.  As in, “I dihent do it!”

wahent – wasn’t.  As in, “It wahent me!”

i’m bored so i blog

September 14, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Pretty bored over here working waiting on some jobs to run before the real fun begins.  Had a little photo op with my camera a few minutes ago (see flickr).  Too bad my camera stinks.  Would have REALLY liked to have seen that picture of the cube in high-res.  Geez, I need something to do.

Interrupting my work to bring you bad news

September 14, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

My grandmother did not get a good report from her tests.  Even though it wasn’t spelled out in the email I suppose that means my grandmother is added to the list of breast cancer fighters.  She meets with a surgeon on Monday.  Please pray for her and my family.  We just lost my grandfather to cancer a few years ago.  My aunt seems to think my grandmother may not accept help from the doctors.

Work, work, work

September 13, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I have had absolutely nothing interesting to say today because all I’ve done is WORK.  I worked 10 hours as of 7pm tonight and still need to put another hour in and some of that includes at 12:45 in the morning when we receive a file.   I guess it could wait until the morning and that’s fine if I fall asleep and don’t wake up to do it but if I’m up, I won’t be able to sleep knowing it’s not taken care of.  I’m just anal like that I guess.

Tomorrow I had planned on going into the office at lunch and then working really late tomorrow night for an implementation—as in maybe until midnight–but today I just found out some things I had planned on doing next week are due tomorrow.  So looks like tomorrow is going to be an extremely long work day for me.

Entertaining angels

September 12, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Tonight Scott taught the lesson at youth. He told a (true) story a preacher once told him.  It was regarding the verse:

Hebrews 13:2 2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

This preacher was walking along in town and saw a man he did not know around town (the same town I live in now which 20 years ago was very small).  He was dressed like a homeless man and stopped the preacher to ask for $1 to get something to eat.  The preacher waved him off saying he didn’t have time.  About four steps past the man, he realized what he had done and that he shouldn’t have acted that way.  He turned around to give him the dollar and the man was gone.  He said there was nowhere he could have gotten that quickly, nowhere to hide anywhere around him.  He insists to this day it was an angel sent to test how he would react.

There were two instances just this week where I felt led to give two people money or at least offer help and I didn’t.  One was in the grocery store. A man was buying some very cheap meals in front of us and he gave the cashier all change and then was scrounging for the rest.  I almost offered to pay the rest as I had a $10 bill right in front of me.  He ended up producing some $20s out of his pocket so I didn’t say anything but still, I still felt like I should have offered.  Those $20s may have been rent or mortgage money.

The second was of a man walkin on an Interstate ramp near my house.  He had a hiking backpack on, was young and didn’t look homeless exactly but seemed on a trip in some way.  He wasn’t really going anywhere and even after my van passed him and no cars were behind him, he didn’t attempt to cross the road on the ramp and wasn’t really going anywhere.  Scott and the girls were with me and it wasn’t really feasible to take him anywhere but I still felt led to stop and ask if we needed to call someone or even if he needed money.   And yet, I kept driving.

Opportunities missed that I’ll never get back and probably have to answer for in heaven.  It saddens and disappoints me that I can’t listen to His voice even in the simplest of things.
