I Don't Get the Title but it's Still Funny to Watch...

this came to my e-mail titled, "Democrats on an Escalator".

i'm not even sure why i find this amusing except that this just gives us perspective on what close-mindedness and stupidity looks like, which we all can relate to one way or another.

Another Game Post About Nothing At All...

Sorry for nothing posts...this one is a five things post. who knows how much longer i can continue on this road. this one came from ashley.





Joys

1. My kids laughter and the funny things they say.

2. Sleeping.

3. The gospel.

4. Cooking.

5. Learning stuff.



Fears

1. Losing my kids or hubby.

2. Getting in a car accident. I am really freaked out about this. (ashley wrote this and i completely agree).

3. Raising my kids wrong.

4. Not becoming and accomplishing what i should in this life before its over.

5. Pain.



Obsessions/Collections

1. Books.

2. Sheep.

3. Computer - reading blogs, emailing, posting on my blog.

4. My kids health, nutrition, and well-being.

5. Money. (i worry about it ALOT.)



Surprising Facts

1. my first job was for a lumber yard, to pick up trash and clean the office.

2. i used to play the oboe but really wanted to play the bassoon. originally i was into the flute but the music teacher said my lip wasn't right so i was going for the drums or trumpet but my mom commanded me to play the clarinet which led to oboe cuz my music teacher didn't think my hands were big enough for bassoon.

3. i had no direct cousins that i knew of, until a couple years ago, when i found out my dad's brother fathered a kid illegitemately and didn't tell anyone about her. i've never met her and she's probably only six or something. my mom has a half brother too that we have never had contact with so i may have some half cousins i don't know about.

4. i was half-way hypnotized by a professional hypnotist when i was in high school. it was an interesting experience.

5. one of my dreams in life would be to participate in a "Beauty and the Beast" musical where i get to be the main gal, Belle...seriously...this is a day dream of mine. i know i would need to have a little voice training before i could try out but my voice is too bad.

A Game...

haven't had time to blog much but christian made this suggestion on her site so i'll do this quick and try to make time for a real post soon...have fun...

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Books...Again

Alright...I can't seem to be able to escape the fact that books is one my most favorite passtimes. I love, love, love, LOVE books. Books BOoks BooKs BOOKS!!!!

i feel i am beginning to border on getting obsessive when it comes to good reads.

i know i have my "currently reading" over there but i realize i never review the books i read. well why the heck not?!

i have never tagged my posts but i think i will start tagging book reviews. that will make it easy for anyone who needs info. on a book-- you can just click on the label "book reviews". i am also going to compile a list of my most recommended books, essentially, my own "exceptional reads". please keep in mind the disclaimer though. i will try to be forthcoming with book "ratings".

does anyone see an over use in this writing? i think i like inserting "" ! haha hoho! i am NOT in a great mood but for some reason writing this post has me all excited. its gotta' be the subject matter.
