A New Day Has Come

Or rather, a new season. Finally!!!

I took the day off work to clean the basement since we have guests staying here for the weekend, and istead took off to Banfill!! Things are starting to turn green! YAY!!!!!!!!!

This used to be a path!

Huh?

How many people honestly tried to use the wipes
ON THEIR CONTACTS to warrent the warning?????????

Don't Try This at Home

I just thought some of you people out there would find this interesting .

This was sent to me by a friend of a police officer. The picture, which is not for the weak of mind nor the faint of heart, shows the fate of a suicide jumper, just after his landing. It shows his insides, now on the outside. The reason I do believe this is a real picture is the look of the innocent bystanders and the sheer horror expressions on their faces.

A BLAH Day (and Ramblings)

Today was bad...I was ready to go leave work and never return by 7:26am. And I didn't get to work til a little after 7....My computers (at home and at work) hate me!!!!

On a happier note, I bought Kutless' new CD today! Can't wait to hear it...(yes, I buy their CDs sight un-heard!)

Which reminds me of Monday night...after small group at Jen's...I was tired, and for some reason Mom's tree fell over! I was so tired, all I could think of to say was "That was unforseeable." It made mom laugh really hard. Glad I'm sooooo entertaining!

And, for Katie's wedding shower at Janet's....WE ARE HAVING A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cascades of chocolate goodness with tons of nummy treats to drown in it!!!

And I finally found 'Scatterbrain' by Judy Canova...and snatched up the two whole copies (one on VHS, the other on DVD)!!!! I have watched both, and it is just as good and funny as I remembered it being...from when I was like 9 (the only time I ever saw it, the tape got wreaked...)

Enuf ramblings, for now...I have a birthday party to go to!

YAY!!! for the weekend....

PS - Michael Buble ROCKS! and I greatly dislike Josh Hartnett.

Crap

I like this phrase (got it from an email somewhere’s): Restless souls filled with wanderlust

I wrote this April 26, 2005…almost a year ago! It’s amazing how much a year can change things….

Sometimes you'll feel like crap
Like you have no map
of what God has planned for you.

Some days will be sunny
And everything funny
With God feeling near.

One day you won't feel Jesus with you
Then for a glimmering moment He'll appear
And wipe away you fear.

Even in the dark days
and sad days
and happy-glad-joy-joy days
Know that I'm praying for you
And Jesus is right by your side.

Birthdays R Fun

Pot Hole Season!

Orchestra

Janet and I got togather today to make calico bean bake or 7 bean hotdish or....whatever you happen to call it! YUM!!!

Blank

My mind is blank. I know there are tons if things I want to write about, but I cannot think of them...

I have pictures from Janet's birthday party at Old Spaghetti Factory last night!! They will be on Flickr sometime this weekend. It was a great night! Funny things happened, but I don't have the patience to write about them.

Katie's wedding plans are coming along nicely! I think pretty much everything is set (the big things at least!) and there are just the small details to take care of...and get dress alterations. Ugh! Which means... shoe shopping. Bleck. I thot I had my shoes already, but maybe not....

Happy Birthday, Janet!!!!!!!! ;-)

What A Day...

Today at lunch I discovered that the bread I'd brought for making a pbj sandwich was...moldy. It was fine last night! What went wrong? Bummer.

Tonight I had a blast with Gretchen, Hailey, and Ezra! Pictures will follow...maybe tomorrow!

Beaming

The sun was beaming today on my way home...

So, I took some pictures (of course). While I was driving. Unintentionally speeding.

Monday

Kristina got some hairs cut!
Tragically short....and tragically awesome.

Marcus got home safe, too!
(As did Aunt Judy and Uncle Ren...from Hawaii! We got to see pictuers!)

Girl Scout Cookies

I thankfully never got around to ordering any Girl Scout cookies this year...

I had a Dream...

As some people know, I was all mad last week cuz I had this picture CD with about...500 of my favorite pictures on, that I had no place else. And one of my nightmares came true: I popped the CD in the drive to pull a couple pictures off and...it didn't work! Since I have been having problems with my CD-ROM I brought the disk to work, hoping it would play there and I could re-create the disk and save all my photos. It didn't work in the four computers I tried at work, either! UGH.

Enter my next dream about the fate of this disk: I have this awesome program (thanks Dan!!) that recovers photos from memory cards and such...I got it last year when I accidently FORMATTED my memory card - after a full day at the beach with...Hailey (and my family and Lukas' and Russies). I was crushed. I'd gotten a couple good ones of Kat and tons of adorable ones of Hailey (but, what pictures of Hailey aren't adorable??) and they were all gone. I was to the point of tears. Stupid, maybe, but it was a stupid mistake for me and I didn't feel like being happy about loosing all those pictures!

Back to the dream....I dreamed I recovered all of my photos of the messed up CD.




And guess what?





They are ALL copying to my computer as I type. All 500 of them! YAY!!!!



Update: 99.999% of the pictures are safe and sound - only one was too small to see, but I think I can handle the loss...can't even tell what it was s'posed to be!

It’s Getting Closer!

Here’s the poster for a movie I will definitely be seeing the day it opens in theaters!
(Anyone wanna join me?)

On Target?

I wasn’t hungry for what I’d brought for lunch, so I skipped the office and headed to the nearest Target. I was bored. I didn’t want to spend money, I had nothing to shop for, but yet I went. And spent money. On food. Very nummy food! I found a bag of Old Dutch Puffcorn - haven’t had that in years! YAY!!!!! And I got a taste for some strawberry ice cream with hot fudge. Mmmmm. Maybe not the healthiest lunch I’ve ever eaten, but I sure enjoyed it!!!

Learning to Forgive

As I was driving to work this morning, I was thinking about some of the things that happened last summer and over Christmas, and I felt like God was telling me to forgive…it is high time! It’s like I was holding a grudge against someone and I needed to let it go, drop the childness of it all. After all, I was only hurt in a round-about way by the events. And the people I was mad at were really only part of the problem - but I’d already forgiven the others involved.
So, you don’t know who you are, you probably could never figure out how you hurt me, and you don’t even know this blog exists, but I forgive you for how you hurt me and please forgive me for holding on to my anger at you for so long.

Fortune

Dad, Mom and I went to Lee Ann Chin's tonight.

My fortune:

Reality is for people
who lack imagination.
