Good writing

I'm thinking this must just be good writing, b/c why else would I spend time reading, much less recommending, a list of rules as to whom one should marry? As Amy Scott said in recommending it, it's a lot of common sense, and funny.

My "real" life

So, schooling has begun, and I've already had my share of productive, lazy, and COMPLETELY unpredictable weeks. I've been weighing and praying over the ideas of recognizing when I need to suck it up and um, be disciplined v. when I need to let something go. I am mostly talking about the rest of my life that is getting skipped, not schooling. Then I read this at girltalk about life's "interruptions". Perfect timing and sentiment.

True to form, they are doing a little series, and it looks like there will be some suggested guidelines to help identify priorities. I am really interested. Either that, or I just want to forget it all and go have a nap.

Brian is at the Ligonier conference in Scottsdale--pray for him! Should be awesome. I get to do fun things with the girls like go to a wedding reception and parade, etc. Nothing to complain about, but sometimes I just wish I could turn everything off(usually for about 2 days) and pick up my house, clean(?), uh, landscape my yard, and return a few phone calls. It sounds like the beginning of a "to do" list. And like being disciplined should probably win out. I think I've been "letting things go" since Ali was born, b/c everyone knows you can get away with that when you have 3 kids under 2 years old. hmm Seems that putting something off can actually tire me out MORE than my kiddoes.


--Speaking of interruptions, and procrastinating, for that matter, Ali has been calling out for me(from bed) for a while now. I just went back to see what was up and she was laying in the middle of her room, in a very interesting pose, claiming to have fallen out of bed. "Mom, I just tumboed, I just tumboed wight out of my bed."

Razzle Dazzle

Oh my gosh! I love Stuff Christians Like--especially b/c he posts about things I have totally thought about, usually. Sooo funny. This one from a while back about saying, "I'll pray for you," as a closing line when you are feeling awkward just hits the spot.

Do the two people who check this blog ever do this, or am I the only one who is being called out?

Mindless stuff

I saw these today at Amy's Humble Musings. Of course, all 2 people that check this blog already know about Amy's, but humor me, anyway, K?

The FedEx commercial kills me. Speaking of Castaway, I really liked it, but can't watch it again.

This cheap/free date idea list is interesting. It has me wondering if either of the 2 people who check this blog have a date night, and what it usually consists of. Maybe most of what it usually consists of.
