Squiiiiiiish

Tonight I made supper. And I got Dad to eat broccoli without him knowing it! (He hates it with a passion and will not eat anything that has been near it!)


Tuesday night I hung out at Lukas' and we watched Polar Express. It was better than the first time around. And I love the soundtrack.

It took me all afternoon (Sunday) to wrap this gift. I kept having problesm...but I like how it turned out! It'll be fun giving it to the recipient closer to Christmas. I now am completely done, and just have one thing left to wrap!

Wednesday night I hung out with the Thiesen family. Jack and Sam are so much fu nto be around, and I love talking with Jen. And Bob when he's around.


While at Thiesen's I helped Jen & Bob move Janet's desk out of the basement to outside to bring it over to Janet's new house (which she is moving into this Saturday!!) I didn't happen to remember that there were 4 steps, and not just 3 and fell. Hard. And hurt my foot royally. Ended up spending the rest of the evening in the living room with a bag of frozen broccoli on my foot. LOL. How funny. I couldn't help laughing. Here's my foot: (you can kinda see the bruising, and the bruised area is swollen.)


Thursday:
slept with a bag of frozen veggies tied to my foot. now they are mooshed and mashed and there's a hole in the bag somewhere, so there's veggie juice everywhere! good thing there is never much juice in those bags, huh?!?
everyone at work was kinda laughing at the way i was walking...at least it was my left foot i hurt, not the right one - i can still drive!!!!!!!!

here is our outside christmas lights:

Now you are caught up on my week....time to go make more memories!!!!!!!!

Ahhh!

Since my car accident the Progressive people have been calling me almost every day with mundane updates about the car repairs. And once in awhile Schoonover has called with updates as well. This is too much! But, Schoonover in Stillwater (where my car is being fixed!) called today saying repairs are moving along better than they thot, and my car should be ready for me to pick up Friday afternoon! How cool is that? Then I'll get to drive to Smitty's concert instead of having to pay for parking. Until then, I drive a red PT Cruiser, which is alright, but is starting to sound funny when I drive and has been trouble starting. I had to exchange the Mazda 3 I had a t first because a wheel bearing or something was going bad so that car was unsafe to drive (as some would say: especially since I'm the driver!!) and now the second rental car is starting to be weird. GAA. I'm anxious for MY car to be back. I miss it. Sigh.


Well, off to make some wonderfully meat free veggie full original pad thai to eat with the tangerine strawberry Crystal Light punch I made last night. YAY!!! And I get to see Jen and Bob and Jack and Sammy tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And I got Newsboys new CD, Go today! And It's a Wonderful Life on DVD! And Celtic Woman's Christmas CD! Life is extremely GOOD. :-)
Isaiah 41:13
I am the LORD your God.

I am holding your hand,
so don't be afraid.
I am here to help you.

Well, now I just need to figure out how to convert my .avi files from my camera to a compatable file for YouTube, then I have tons more videos to share!!!

I figured out I could put the video into iMovie, and then probably resave it, but that doesn't let me add the sound file...

Anybody have any helpful hints for me??

First Kiss

So, it's your first kiss and several questions might come to mind:

Is it the right time?

Is anyone watching?

Does your partner even want to?

Is your breath fresh?

And... Should you use some tongue?

Then you lean in and just go for it!!!

"First Kiss --- Arkansas Country Girl Style."

Chauffeur for Jesus

Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.

"You know" he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"

The driver said, "No problem. Have at it."

Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.

The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.

He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.

He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law... But I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."

The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?"

The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that."

The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president."

The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that."

The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"

The young trooper said, "I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"

Owww

I was stupid...put my thumbs where a heavy ladder was about to fall. Ouch.

My right thumb is purple. And big. And hurts. The other one is mostly just fine. And the right one crax when I bend it, which makes me not want to bend it. And it turns red when it’s bent. This makes me laugh. :-D until I try to bend it…

You can't really tell by the picture.

Glad Tidings of Great Joy

Katie said I could start telling people!!!!!

KATIE AND MARCUS ARE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due July 13. :-D HEE HEE!!!!

Newsie

Oh, guess what? My car will hopefully be finished Dec 4! I hope it's done before the 2nd, tho, as I have Smitty's concert to drive to.

I am starting to react to the accident now. I am very scared of driving. I keep seeing the accident in my head, and thinking about driving makes me so nervous I almost feel like I want to throw up. I have to keep praying pretty much the entire time of driving for this to not happen...I usually can just work thru my fears (like edging the top of the wall at Janet's. On a LADDER! EEEEECK!) by telling myself that they are silly and I'll be fine, but that isn't working with driving right now. Seriously, if I never had to drive again I would be VERY happy.

Oh, and yes, I smashed my poor thumbs painting at Janet's tonight. We got the living room done!!! It looks smashing! One thumb is completely better, but the other...is big and blue and sore.. :-s More on that later.

Bubba had Shingles

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this! Doesn't it seem that more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here's what happened to Bubba:

Bubba walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said, Shingles. So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.

Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Bubba what he had.

Bubba said, Shingles. So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, Shingles. So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said, shingles. The doctor asked, Where?

Bubba said, "Outside on the truck. Where do you want 'em??"

A Christmas Poem

I got this email a couple days ago, and instead of forwarding it, am posting it here...


The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."

"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother.
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Funny Stuff



This would be me....






Cell Phone Law

According to the new law you will no longer be able to use a cell phone while driving unless you have a "hands free" adapter. I went to Circuit City and they wanted $50 for a headset with a microphone for my cell phone. Having a friend in the cell phone business, I talked with him and was able to come up with an alternative, working through Office Depot.

These kits are compatible with any mobile phone and one size fits all. I paid him $0.08 each because he bought in quantity. Then we tried it with Motorola, Sprint, Verizon and Nokia units and they worked perfectly.

A photo is attached, so take a look and let me know if you want one. Also, forward this to anyone you know who has a cell phone that may want one!


I can hear you laughing. I thought you could use a laugh.

Good Morning

What a loverly morning! I got up late to rush around to get to Janet's to paint and....got toothpaste in my eye. It smarts.

Car Prayers


So…I was is a car accident this morning. No one was hurt. The other car didn’t really look damaged, but the back doors wouldn’t open. The police made us both tow our cars away.

I am still waiting to hear for the insurance people about my car. Gaaaad.

I think this is all for now…Thank you for praying!

Hard at Work

- Deadlines are wonderful, especially the whooshing sound they make when they go flying past.

- Reality checks can bounce.

- On the keyboard of life, keep one finger poised near the escape key.

- If you don't suffer from stress, then you probably are a carrier.

- If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

- When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

- Remember that, when the bosses talk about productivity, they never talking about themselves.

- There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when your boss asks for a ride home from work.

- You always are doing something marginal when the boss stops at your desk.

Update from Dad...

Hi everyone.
Don went into the hospital this morning for a vertebroplasty. First there was an up to date MRI. When the DR looked at the MRI he said that it could be done but did not recommend it. The vertebra is about 85% healed so it was recommended to have a cortisone shot. So change of plans. A cortisone shot. That will help in 1 to 10 days. Time will tell what will happen. JESUS is SO good. Thank you for all your prayers.

SCREAM!

My $80 CD just came in the mail!

Yes, I spent $80 to get it.

Yes, that's silly...

BUT IT'S JOSH GROBAN, PEOPLE!!!!!

And I'm not getting just the CD....and I don't feel like listing everything right now.

And sometime soon my Micheal W. Smith CD should arrive!!!!

November 11, 2006

Back Update from Dad

Don had gotten more pain in his back towards the end of Sept. He went to a back surgeon to get an opinion on what to do with his back. He was told that a brace was needed. One was fitted that day. A surgery was needed to fuse the vertebrae that was fractured. A second opinion was obtained from another Dr. that said he would not have to have surgery if the brace was adjusted better and monitored more closely. A surgery was available to relieve pain.

So...........

Don will be going in to the hospital on Tue. Nov 14, 2006 for a procedure on his back where the compression fracture is. They will be going in and putting a plastic material in the fracture that will stabilize the vertebrae and should eliminate the pain that is caused by the fracture. It is a one hour procedure and he will be put out so he does not move for 4 hours after. Then he can go home. There will be about 4 days of pain for the incision to heal.

New Medical Leave & Related Policies

SICKNESS: We will no longer accept doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

OPERATIONS: Operations are now banned. As long as you are an employee here, you need all that you have. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you as you are. To have something removed constitutes a breach of employment.

DEATH OF OTHERS: This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives, or coworkers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to the arrangements. In rare cases, where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the late afternoon; we will be glad to allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently leave 1 hour early, provided your share of the work is ahead enough to keep the job going in your absence.

YOUR OWN DEATH: This will be accepted as an excuse. However, we require at least two weeks notice as we feel it is your duty to train your replacement.

RESTROOM USE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order. For instance, those whose names begin with 'A' will go from 8:00 to 8:10, employees whose names begin with 'B' will go from 8:10 to 8:20 and so on. If you're unable to go at your time, it will be necessary to wait until the next day when your time comes again. In extreme emergencies, employees may swap their time with a coworker. This exchange must be approved by both employee's supervisors.

Quote from the Boss: "Teamwork is a lot of people doing what I say."

(Marketing executive, Citrix Corporation)

Ooooo

Now I wish I had cable....

Interesting...

I was excited to go to work today. I don't know why. I just was. That hasn't happened in over a year....

The only reason I can give is that Jesus was with me and made my day better than anticipated. Not that it was any better than yesterday (or this past year), but I was just...happy.

Yay!!!

(And if the posts below scare you at all, do not fear! There are more emails like them! I wrote them today when I was in need of a break...which breaks never come too often, anymore...)

I got the Willy Wonka theme song on my iPod last night! Woo Hoo! So exciting.

If you are looking for a new movie to watch, Curious George was cute and funny and actually clean! And not stupid, like most cartoons that try to recreate a classic story are...

Heidi's date of marriage is coming up quite quickly. It woulda been fun to go, but it wouldn't have worked out anyway...and they probably wouldn't a let me go, cuz the other girl in the office is out Monday. Which means...I'm holding down the fort at work in every way possible. Oh boy. Pray for me! I will be crazy by 6:10am. And I don't start until 7...

AHHHHHH

Kris & Rolf

Kris & New Boyfriend...don't remember his name right now.

On a side note, please be praying for Deb tonight. She is driving 12 hours to Michigan to be in Heidi's wedding. It's hard to believe that Heidi is getting married. Just last Christmas she didn't even have a boyfriend. Wow! When Deb gets back to town, Heidi will be Mrs. Jim Langley. My how times change...
