ooooooooooooo!

Cousins visit so far.........

Well, when the cousins got here I issued the obligatory scream when I saw KH. (That's another story.) Cool cousin SH laughed. We've been having loads of fun and now that slightly - less cool cousin MD is here it'll only get better. Oh, and of course I gave AH a hug when I saw her cute little self. I got the MarshmallowShooter Sunday and we had fun testing it out - on eachother. ;) The Silly String is for special use on MD, so that'll happen soon. :D 14 cousins, 1 week, this oughta be fun!


Oh, and, older sis MH and Mr. - macho cuz MD better get ready for me and SH to WOOP them at Scattergories!!!!

WaaaaaaaaahhhOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Isn't Relient K just awesome? And their new song is so GOOD! You can hear "Must Have Done Something Right" on their myspace page. You can get there from their website by clicking 'blog'. I can't wait until Fivescore and Seven Years Ago comes out!!!!!

Fun for Fun!

When I got to the computer at 6:45 or so this morning it was such a delight and relief to know I could turn it on! My self-imposed quota of collegework to finish had been completed! That's the beauty of mail-in courses. Set your own schedule. Now I can sit back, enjoy the staff party tonight, and anticipate the arrival of my cousins, who are coming tommorrow! My Dad's Mom (my Grandma) and one of his sister's family are scheduled to arrive late tommorrow. And one more cousin via plane Tuesday. One Grandma, Aunt, and Uncle to hug.................. and I'm thinkin' the cousins deserve some special treatment. Like a marshmallow shooter and some Silly String....................... seperately of course. I'll let you know how it goes. ;P ;D

TaDa!

An Homage, A Tribute..........

This has been a message from Mountain Dew Lovers Anonymous. And boy, am I anonymous.

A Lovely E-mail I've Gotten Before But That Doesn't Change It's True Message.

This was sent under the subject, AGREE OR DELETE.



DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view .. it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments! DID YOU KNOW?


As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments! DID YOU KNOW? There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington , D.C. DID YOU KNOW? James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement: "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
DID YOU KNOW? Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by relig ionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

DID YOU KNOW? Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. DID YOU KNOW?Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law . an oligarchy the rule of few over many.


DID YOU KNOW? The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said: "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers." How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 229 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional? Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great country was built on. I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn... It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!! If you agree, pass this on

And yes, this was a chain e-mail.

Philosophization

What is with all these newspeople saying "the unpopular war" ? What's unpopular about it? I don't hate the war! I love the war! What's with all this naysaying about it? President Bush is doing the best he can and somebody's got to do it! Otherwise we'll all end up wearing burkha's and saying "Allah Akbar!" or face death. (Which, if it came to that, I think I'd take the latter option.) Where are all the war supporters? We need to wear t-shirts saying "I love the war!" and "Hey, y'know that Iraqi war thing? ISN'T IT GOING GREAT!?!". So, all you couch potatoes, get out there and shout - I LOVE THE WAR!!!!


I should totally get FrankJ (of IMAO.us fame) to make those t-shirts.........

Ho-Hum

Even if I can only see how my blog looks through previews. And my actual blog only shows old posts and the way my blog did look, I'm gonna pretend you can read this post anyway. I forgot to tell you about Thanksgiving! All the food was totally awesome but, the shocking part is............................................................. .................................................................................................................................. ........................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................... I liked the stuffing!!!!!!!!!!! We made it different this year. Paul Prudhomme's sausage stuffing. And y'know? It was actually good!

?

Testing, 1,2,3. There is something majorly wrong here. Posting at 5:09 pm, Thursday, December 7, 2006. WHEN will this show up?

:P

I am sick and tired of trying to fix how my blog looks and it taking forever!

Funny Quote.................

One of my cousins (unknowingly) contributes to my blog. He sent me this in an e-mail. Everything is possible, except skiing through revolving doors. ;)

Steelers lost..........................

I don't wanna hear it! I dont wnna hear it! Maybe next year............................. Speaking of which, I wonder who'll coach? Cowher is obviously going bye - bye.

My Theme Song

A roll of the dice, a slip of the tongue- I was stirring up the hornet's nest- it finally got me stung. I tried to do the right thing but the wrong was done. It's over excuse my grammar but the fat lady sung. And I wish I was Michael J. Fox- I'd visit the past. Then come back to the future when I'd cleaned up my act. I don't know what went through my head. Was my conscience shot? Was it left for dead? I said "I'm sorry" but no one heard cause actions speak louder than words.I think I made God angry, yeah I'm sure that He's irate. I just hope my remorse was not too little too late. I gave Him my track record He gave me a clean slate. I'm forgiven and I'm livin' with no sin on my plate. - HELLO MCFLY by Relient K on their first cd. What does this song make you think of? Me, it's how I seem to do the wrong thing and can't seem to keep my mouth shut.

?????????????

C'mon. I want people to guess what books my "name" is from.P.Alright, so I'll help you out on this one. P. is from.....nothing.Rilla.What book is this from?Hamfast.What book (oh, you ought to know this) is this from?Guesses go in comments. P. Rilla Hamfast

Hip - hip - hooray for the Steelers!

C'mon now, three cheers for the Pitts!
Hip, hip, HOORAY!
Hip, hip, HOORAY!
Hip, hip, HOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I have to have this rant.......................

Has any one else noticed how Mandie from the Mandie books has gotten more bratty with each book? Constant foot stamping, sighing; honestly, Joe deserves better. But, Joe she is destined for, no matter how she feels in her finnicky moods. I looked back in the earlier books and she is a much sweeter, nicer girl. But, I can't stop reading them now. The series is almost finished and I will see it to the end. Even if Joe has the brattiest wife ever. She'd better marry Joe.
Y'know, I loved this series all while I was growing up and now.......... I can hardly stand her she's behaving so awfully. Sure, she's nice at times, but other times................
:( 40-some books later I find out she's not nice. Maybe, she'll grow - up in college but, the first college book showed no signs of it. And, while I'm ranting may I note - and I don't dislike Mandie for it, it's just always been kind of a joke with me, my mom, and sisters - that every guy in the series likes Mandie? I mean, poor Celia! Robert is the true One for Celia. He's the only one who's liked Celia when Mandie's there. :) I'm laughing now. But, it's true that, with the exception of when Polly's there and the guys can't seem to figure out whether to admire Mandie or Polly ( which Mandie has gotten a little more bratty about, but that's understandable where Joe's concerned), it seems like Celia, Sally and the other girls never get any attention.
Glad I got that off my chest. ;D There is hope for Mandie, I know it.

Funny Quote

" Women should stop having children after 35; thirty - five children is enough." - anonymous
I found this on a website called Raising Godly Tomatoes. Or, actually my sister found it.
Get ready for a barrage of blogging.

WoooooohooohooHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's terrific! It's great! Man, I wish I could've watched the whole game but, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Steelers won Sunday's game!!! That's Fantasterrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Now, only 7 more wins to qualify for playoffs................................................

Random Question.........

What makes you happy?

I have a whole litany of things............
watching the sun rise
sleeping in late
teaching kids to read
my family
coming home dead tired and smelling the delicious food waiting in the crockpot
purple flowers
seeing my adorable cousins
the thought of spending Christmas with the whole lot of them
the coming Thanksgiving & Christmas festivities
reading the Bible
reading
seeing beautiful things
hearing happy music like that old 60s or 50s song "Lolly Pop" or any of my favorite music
the list goes on......................................................................................

As it should because, being a Christian, I should always be happy in the thought of the Lord and all He's made. It's all in His hands and everything will work out for good for those who glorify Him.

Speaker. House. Pelosi.
OUCH! That hurt my fingers.
Dumb, uninformed people who voted for deranged dems.

Christmas is coming faster than you think! and Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving! Turkey, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli cheese casserole, sweet potato souffle, gravy, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, whipped cream..............................yum! But, I hate stuffing!

What?!?!?

OK. The government is taking it too far. A law banning foods with trans fats? Like that's any of the governments business.

What I hate most about going to the dentist isn't the sharp things they like to poke into your gums, like my mom's, she hates that. It's the little air sucker thing they stick in your mouth zapping away all the moisture. I hate that. Chapped lips. No, moisture in my mouth. Gaaaaa! Why, yes, I went to the Dentist last night, how did you know?

Random Question.........

Do you know the muffin man?

Color is so cool. Move from one to the other in smooth series. Heehee!

Remaining pure. Now there's a topic that's touchy. Personally, I agree with Josh Harris. Dating shouldn't be about our feelings. Whether or not this is the person you want to marry. That's the question you ought to be trying to settle. I already had vague ideas of this before I read Joshua Harris' book I Kissed Dating Goodbye and it's sequel Boy meets Girl but, reading it just helped clarify so many things for me. I now have clear-cut views about how to go about getting the right guy. That didn't come out right. Of course, I know whoever's out there for me isn't gonna be perfect and I know there's no "set of rules" about exactly how to go about finding someone. But, I have a point now. I'm gonna dedicate myself to being better. Always praying and asking God for guidance, wisdom, mercy, and help along the way. Working each day to become a better and better person so I can glorify God and, in so doing, become a person better able to love, honor, and obey, my future husband. I don't date. I will court - Though I know it really doesn't matter what you call it. I just love that term. - whenever I am ready and responsible enough to be married. (Although I'll obviously be having to ask alot of people before I'll know that.) I like that girl who wrote that article entitled Don't Kiss Me, I'm right there with her.

ummmmmmmmm. Well, that didn't work. I have nothing to say so i'm gonna say it, nothing! Y'know, I love noble people that are good and honest. Like, Peter, Edmund, Legolas, Aragorn, Sam, Frodo, Faramir and all those lovely, noble people who exist in my imagination.

C'mon. I want people to guess what books my "name" is from.

Alright, so I'll help you out on this one. P. is from.....nothing

I like talking about nothing to nobody in particular. Talking to cyberspace and whoever pops out of it. I can say whatever I want 'cause I can't see you. You don't know me, I don't know you and we probably never will. So I can say anything like
I like word searches!
and it doesn't matter.

Some people like to outline what the point of their blog shall be like political or humor or political humor, sports or gross stuff or gross sports stuff. I have decided my blog shall be ............................................................
