Hello, I Want to Stay Alive
Thus sayeth me whilst sharing the highways and byways with crazyish drivers. There were three today. I'm convinced that two of them were in cahoots. But, I made it home in one piece. Oh Glory, Hallelujah!
The drive was doomed from the beginning. When trying to take the exit onto 694, this guy decides he doesn't want to turn left anymore, he wants to cross two lanes of traffic and turn right...before I do. I barely missed him. Had my wits been about, I woulda honked. And then he slams on his breaks and sits there for 2 minutes for no apparent reason. Again...brakes won out over the horn. Guys like him should stay off the road....
Then, later, when 694 becomes 3 lanes but two go off to Highway 10, a truck and a SUV decided they wanted to be where I was - the middle lane. Never mind that I was there. Small potatoes. Sheesh!
Then, there was the lady who decided that the people weren't moving fast enuf in front of her so she started laying on her horn....Never mind that we were at a red light!
What is up with all these crazy drivers!?! Go home and stay there!!!!!
I get to brave the roads yet again this fine night - I get to see Katie & Marcus (which doesn't happen much anymore) so pray for my - and the crazies out there - that we don't kill each other trying to get where we're going.

Looking for Glow
I miss Picasa! If I could have Picasa on Mac, my computer would be complete. Everything would be pretty much perfect. I would gladly leave my days as a Windows user in the dust (at home anyway...).
Picasa has the nifty 'glow' effect that I love! But nothing else really has it. :-( Rick did send me a link for a Mac program that has something similar, but it's still not my 'glow'...pout. Maybe, eventually - sometime down the lane in the long and distant future - I will grow accustomed to Image Tricks 'bloom' and forget about my beloved Picasa 'glow'.
Sigh. I need a new hobby....

Boating!
This post is designed to make you, the Reader (all 3 of you!!), very jealous that you did not come join us boating today. Oh! the boating! the fun! the water! the craziness! the jumping fish! the sunny skies! It was a blast!
So, what exactly did you miss?
You missed great drivers...
...and great rides...
You missed jumping the the warm water
(although I was told it was very dirty...)
I promise, Kris, that I won't send this photo to Dr. Pepper
headquarters as proof that you drank something other than DP!
I won't use it to blackmail you, either...
I don't even know what good that would do!
After all, it isn't your fault that all the DP was already gone!

Sacramentis & Cups
Communion is s'posed to be serious.
I thot.
So, last night during Sacramentis, when each table was to partake of communion together, this comment was made to me about the song playing:
HA HA!!!!!!
(WHO IS THEY?!?)
It made us laugh.....
and then there was this:
HAHAHAHA! My church is so crazy funny! All the people are great!
And then... I have recently discovered something about myself. Knowing now what I know, I laugh almost everytime I shop cuz of it. But I also can save a pretty penny because I know:
I have a cup fetish.
How else can I explain all the cups I have? The list is too numerous to list here - I don't even know how many I have! Whenever I see a cup I like I usually would buy 8-18 (a full set - for when I move!) And since I like alot of different cups....get the picture?
In the basement there is a semi-unfinished corner that Dad said if I bought all the stuff, a cupboard and microwave could be biult - like a mini kitchen! Then I could set out some of my cups to actually use!!!!!!
I thot.

This is me singing in the shower...I had no idea that they had a microphone in there.
HA HA!!!!!!

and then there was this:
I have to hold this cuz I noticed that it was making my pants fall down, and I don't want to have a wardrobe malfunction.
HAHAHAHA! My church is so crazy funny! All the people are great!
