Are You an Average American?
I found an interesting future meme over at Absinthe and Cookies.
American SnapshotAccording to the book, a majority of Americans:
• Eats peanut butter at least once a week
I have a 5 and a 6 year old, what do you think?
• Prefers smooth peanut […]Handwriting Analysis
I found this over at Waterfall’s place. It is eerily accurate in many ways. I’m one of those people, though, who write differently each time they write — a nearly different handwriting. Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow and see if it turns out very differently.
Gem has a healthy imagination and displays […]
Chivalry is Dead at McDonalds
Now, let me preface this post with a disclaimer. I have 3 children, and am contemplating a 4th. I do NOT expect people to go out of their way to help me, I have accepted the gifts God has given me in this many kids and I am fully prepared to do whatever […]
Funky Fairies
We had a Fall Fest at church today. Here are the girls in costume. Traditionally, they have changed their minds about their costumes between Friday and whichever day Halloween actually falls, so we’ll see what they decide to be by Monday!!!
Renovations Underway
Update: We didn’t make it to Home Depot today. Dh got a bunch of stuff ripped down in the basement, and the girls pulled off wallpaper in the back entry way. I guess after two years in the place, it’s about time we got a fire lit under us! Now, let’s see […]
Friday Feast
Miz Booshay at Quiet Life posted her Friday Feast today and I thought I’d play along.
Friday Feast
Appetizer
Do you button shirts top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top?
I start in the middle and go up, then down.
Soup
What is your favorite sandwich?
Grilled Cheese with sliced tomato in the middle, or Rueben
Salad
What was a family project you helped work on as a […]Two Years Ago Today
It was so strange, to drive to the hospital NOT in labor to have the baby. Our first two children came after about 12 hours of light labor and then 4-5 hours of heavy labor in the hospital. Baby Boy (I guess I should graduate him to Ds2 now), on the other hand, […]
Sunday Hymn Post
The Common Room posts a hymn every Sunday. I love these posts, having grown up in the same church as The Headmistress. Our church does a pretty good job of balancing the newer worship songs with the oldies-but-goodies, but I could stand a few more. Today’s hymn is “The Lord’s My Shepherd”, […]
Calling All Home Renovation Experts!
(Ron and Andrea, this means you.) We’ve been living with an ugly, small bathroom for 2 years now, and I anticipated living with it for quite a while longer. But the faucet really does need to be replaced — it doesn’t just drip, it runs, so it’s a waste of money to let it keep […]
Audioblogger?
I was trying to make a cute little post to test-drive the new audioblogger function, but it seems to have disappeared! Have any of you on Blogger used it yet, and how long does it take to show up after you hang up the phone?
Blogging Reconstruction
My friend Rachel from an e-mail loop is from Louisiana. I knew that, but didn’t realize she was hit so hard by Katrina. She’s blogging their comeback, and it is slow! If you’d like to read as they try to get their lives back to ‘normal’, check out Life in the South. […]
My New Bracelet
My Auntie V makes this really cool magnetic jewelry. It’s supposed to make your body heal itself better by improving the electrical current in your body. She sent me a bracelet and it was cute, but I lost it when I was carrying Dd6 around to get her x-rays when her foot was sprained a […]
Soul Weary
Ann at Holy Experience describes herself as soul weary today. That’s is a really good way to describe the way I’ve been feeling lately. I wonder if there’s something in the air this time of year. Here’s her response to her own soul weariness:
If I feel under a sentence or […]Holding My Daughter’s Heart
I am trying so hard to foster this type of relationship between my daughters (and when he’s older, my son) and myself. But here I am, up at 12:15, unable to sleep, grieving over ugly things my 6yo and I said to each other today. Six years old! I do not want to have […]
A Day in the Life . . .
Yes, it’s 12:18, and I had to run through my Sage feeds one more time and see who has posted recently. I saw that Mental Multivitamin had posted and had to check it out. All I can say is “I want this.” And I don’t know if I have what it takes to get […]
