Be grateful

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.' The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.'The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands. The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.'The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish. So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!....the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful should remember fairies are female.

Spiritually Ecouraging Humor

Give God what's right - not what's left.

"Pray" is a four-letter word you can say anywhere.

Man's way leads to a hopeless end - God's way leads to an endless hope..

A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma - but never let him be the period.

Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a facelift.

When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for duty.

God doesn't want shares of your life - He wants a controlling interest.

We don't change God's message - His message changes us.

The church is prayer-conditioned.

When God ordains, He sustains.

WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

Plan ahead - It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.

Suffering with truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

Exercise daily - walk with the Lord.

Coincidences happen when God chooses to remain anonymous.

Wisdom has two parts -

1) having a lot to say; 2) not saying it.

Never give the devil a ride - he will always want to drive.

A clean conscience makes a soft pillow.

Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

Compassion is wonderful to give away because it keeps coming back.

He who angers you controls you.

Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

Give Satan an inch & he'll be a ruler.

Forbidden fruits create many jams.

Be ye fishers of men - you catch them & He'll clean them.

Deciding not to choose Jesus is still making a choice.

God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

If God is your co-pilot - swap seats.

Read the Bible - It will scare the hell out of you.

This is gonna be my kid

It's SO true! I've had a few stalkers myself, and this completely hit home for me. She knows what she's talking about and she says it so well!

A Day at the Office

From The Mouths of Babes

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human being because although it is a very large mammal it has a very small throat. The little girl said that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human. The little girl said, "When I get to Heaven, I'm going to ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What is Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see the children's work. As she got to one little girl who was diligently working, she asked what the little girl was drawing. The little girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, the little girl replied, "They will in a minute."

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "Honor thy Father and thy Mother", she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" A little boy in the back (the oldest child of a family) replied, "Thou shalt not kill."


One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes. She noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out among her dark hair. The little girl looked at her mother and asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this for a while and then asked, "How come ALL of Grandma's hairs are white, Mom?"

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clear, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood would run into it and I would turn red in the face." "Yes," said the class. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't rush to my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "Because your feet ain't empty!"

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted it on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunchline, and the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate cookies. They also had a note: "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

Too Much . . . of . . . Something . . .

I've been clobbered by my computer twice and eaten by the lazy boy once.

I can't stop laughing at whatever is so-friggin-funny. I don't know what it is, but it's really funny.

Oh wow, this is the fourth post I've made today. Quite the little chatter-box, aren't I?

Everybody's Doing It

Have you been Elf-ed? All my friends have been. And now, I have, too! I used pics from our wedding to make our faces (we only had over 1000 pictures taken. I mean, really.) and then did the bodies. I did a great job! So here you are.

Presenting

The Selo and Mini Elf Show

Thank you Abbi, for the inspiration.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

This is a picture I took last weekend at the event. Any idea who these people are? They are famous. On the left is Indy and on the right is Tak. THE Tak. THIS Tak.
But what's with this picture? Look at what's in front of them. All that stuff on the table. Have a drink guys. I didn't even think about it when I took the picture. But when I was looking through the pics now, I bust up laughing. Also, look at the guy right behind them. I don't know if you can see his T-shirt or not, but it says, "Got Buffs?"
lol We really had a great weekend. I can't wait till next year.

Is it Morning Already?

I woke up this morning to the miniature dog howling. Not sure what he was alerting us of, but he was doing a good job. As I come walking out of the bedroom to put him *clears throat* let him outside, he is curled up in the middle of all the cords strewn across the floor. Wires, cords, and a couple of doggie chew toys surrounded him. The best part? Was that he looked as happy as could be. lol Just thought I'd start the morning off with a little humor. Hope you're having a good morning too!

I'm the MOM

I love Elizabeth's blog, and it's because she always has great stuff. LOL This video is another reason I can't wait to be a mom.

The Countdown

Grab a snack and a refreshing drink (cran-apple juice!) and sit back, this one is a long one.

My birthday is in one week from today. Fall break starts when school is over tomorrow. And we might even have a countdown to FFXI FanFair, if we get lucky.
On my birthday, I will be 25. A quarter of a century. I asked someone a few days ago if I would finally have people starting taking me seriously once I hit 25. However, just like when I asked if I would be taken seriously at 18, 21, and when I got married, I was told no. Oh well, being serious is overrated. lol No plans yet for my birthday. We were going to go to Canada, since it is fall break the whole week and I have no school, but we changed our minds. School has been so busy I haven't been able to plan much. I don't think I will be disappointed though. Hubby has always remember my birthday and our anniversaries, and he always makes them memorable for me. He's so good to me <3
I also look forward to next week because I will get my hubby back. This whole week he has put in SO many late hours at work. Every day he plans on a regular eight hour day, but something comes up and he doesn't get home until really late. We had our date night planned for tonight, but he will be at work until at least eight again, so we shall see after that.
Hubby and I are reading the Bible. We started it this morning. I have read BOM, D&C, and PoGP fairly consistently for the last while, but he wanted us to read together again. So we started the Book of Matthew this morning. He has our study path already decided. I am happy to be reading with him again, and I am more than willing to let him decide where we are going with it. He is the head of our household, and I am happy to let him lead the way. I will be right next to him, reading, supporting, and enjoying every step of the way. I look forward to this.
Something funny I wanted to share with y'all. I have a lot of English papers to write for my English class- about one every other day. I don't mind writing them, in fact, I enjoy it. I like being creative and coming up with different things to write about. Yesterday we were assigned a short paper- a descriptive paragraph. I chose to write a descriptive paragraph about Hubby's computer area. I wrote mostly truth, but I threw in a few extras and left out other parts. Here's the part I made up:
The right side of the table holds a few random objects, a gaming controller, a lone USB cord, a red pen-cup stuffed as full as it can get, and a white mouse that stands out like a sore thumb against the classy black color of everything else. Spread across the two computer stations are Jolly Rancher candies, quite a few empty candy wrappers, bags of sunflower seeds, bits of papers, notes, an unopened fortune cookie here and there, and cords- in, out, and between everything.
I asked Hubby to proof my paper for me. While he was doing that, I went off to the kitchen or something. When I got back, he had cleaned his desk! lol I guess he didn't like that I had added the parts about candy wrappers and sunflower seeds all over the desk (he has a bag of seeds, a pile of candy, and a trash can to keep the garbage), so he cleaned the whole desk. I laughed for a while- but I hugged him and told him I loved him. He just grinned at me :D
I have another CougarCry meeting tomorrow. In my ACA class, we recently discussed the difference between scholarly writing/ journaling and just plain writing. For example, anyone can write in a blog. But that doesn't make it truth or even correct. However, being published in a book or newspaper means several people review the article, piece, and/ or material before it is published. So material read in one of these sources is more reliable than other sources. Basically, I am excited about having pieces that *I* wrote published in a newspaper. It means that my writing is more than just blah blah blah words, it is going to be taken seriously and, more importantly, it will be helping people. I can't tell you how much that means to me. I have a blog for me to write and to help myself. But now I will be helping other people- and a large number of people too. What a great feeling.
I'm going to play a lot of FFXI next week, since I will be home the whole week. I want to lvl my WHM and RDM to 37. It won't happen all in next week, but I can at least get them so my main won't be gimped anymore. I would love to get my BRD higher too. I like BRD better than any other job so far, and I would love to have BRD as my main. I haven't even started COR yet, though, so maybe I should start COR before I take BRD much higher if I am just going to change to COR in the end. I look forward to the new dancer job, too. I won't be one of the ones running out to lvl it first, but I do plan on taking it to the Dunes at least. It looks really fun. I can't wait to see the impact it has on the other jobs in the game. I wonder what the other two new jobs will be. . .
Guess who got paid another $18 today? That's right, me. I have slowed down quite a bit with the paid blogging stuff, but I am still making some $$$ with it. (Minus $5 for the digital thermometer I bought on eBay.)
I have been working closely with the host of my website lately. We are in the process of getting my blog set up on my domain under my domain name. I don't exactly understand the difficulties, but I may have to change hosts because of it. Nothing that the host has done wrong, in fact, he is great. I am hoping we will be able to get the issues resolved, and I can keep my domain where it is.
The Apple Festival is this weekend! Yay! I love festivals, and I love this one. We are going on Saturday afternoon. I'm still trying to get in touch with Jessica and with Chris, to see if they want to come with us. But no matter what, I am going, and I can't wait.
Well, I am going to get back to work. I am working hard to finish any homework and all loose ends by tomorrow, so that I have NO HOMEWORK over fall break. So far, I have this accomplished.

Eyeballs, Oceans, and Kittens

Yay! I'm not so disgusting anymore (even though Hubby told me I am beautiful no matter what <3).

I still have trouble finding my way around. Did ya really think I could get the oceans straight? But I would like to thank Jessica for pointing it out to me. Were the rest of you just going to keep laughing about it without telling me? ROFL
The kittens are doing well. They are growing up so fast! I know, you hear that all the time. But I'm such a sucker for them. Just imagine what will happen when I have my own children to adore.
Been doing research on TTC lately. One of my sisters is TTC her first baby, so I have put in a lot of time finding info. It's all really interesting, and I am glad I got a head start on it. If you have any info, I'd love to pass it on to her.
I need to scan this photo my (other) sister gave me and put it up here for you guys. Not only is she beautiful, but she is *so* photogenic, too. She takes her own photos of herself, and better than anyone else ever could. The chick amazes me.
I might go to church with a friend of mine this weekend. He invited Hubby and I when I first moved out here and I talked to him about it today. I'm not looking to replace my religion, rather, I would like to expand and strengthen my faith.
Alright, well that is my nothingness update. Looking forward to the weekend. But right now, since homework is done, I'm going to grab a shower (just call me Belle!) and get in game until Hubby gets home. Have a great night everyone!
