“‘Oh *BLEEP*mas tree oh *BLEEP*mas tree’… Why’m I getting bleeped?! I gotta say Holiday?”
“Yup, you might offend somebody. You know, like the *BLEEP*s and the *BLEEP*s and the atheists!”
“Gotta be politically correct…”
“C’mon guys, it’s not that hard, just say ‘I’m dreaming of a *BLEEP* Holiday.”
“You have to say ‘Caucasian’“
“So i gotta say: ‘I’m dreaming of a Caucasian Holiday?!?!!?”
“aaw this is just stupid……”

This is the gas prices right now…

This is the way we handle things in Damascus…

And this is what peeps do for ice cream…

This is me right now.

You know you’re living in 2006 when…

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone’s home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go back and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
12. You’re reading this and nodding or laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.
AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

sad isn’t it.

Let’s see….
The 3rd Halo book, The First Stike is pretty rockin awesome. Better than the 2nd book DEFINITELY and just as good as the 1st.

what else…uh…..Mississippi’s really dusty and HOT and sticky….gross weather but great to see my fam again….Emily Nicole (isn’t that the cutest name!!?) is 2 weekds old with a TON of black hair that’s spiky and fuzzy and sticks straight up….my aunt and uncle call her their baby rockstar ;) She’s adorable. And God is so good, he’s given me so much grace on this trip. Like, not in the way i’d expect it either–the pain’s still getting in the way of serving in certain ways but it’s forced me to be creative with what i’m able to do…find new ways to serve….

Timothy Zahn is such a good writer. Ugh. it’s not fair… Every time i read something well writen i despair of ever writing again. Sigh. I wish i could really WRITE….to be able to come up with a well crafted storyline, and create dialogue that actually comes from the characters and makes SENSE… And wow Grand Admiral Thrawn is kool.

In an old house in Paris all covered in vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines…Madeline is running through my head like CRAZY. That’s what too much time helping little cousins on the computer’ll do to you. ARG…french words spoken in an annoying high squeaky little girl’s voice combined with an obnoxious tendancy towards rhyming everything (and with really dumb rhymes at that) is prolly the worst combination anyone could come up with……. and they made a game out of it. and TV show. and a book series. AND stuffed animals…and clothes….and about everthing they could fit “i love Madeline” onto… oh the JOY. haha. “And that’s all there is…there isn’t anymore.”
