Expansion Joints and Suppositoriums

-No matter what California says, men cannot marry men and women cannot marry women. God set up that law from the beginning and even Arnold Schwarzenegger cant change that. (Besides that, the parts don't fit!)



-I have never had HBO, so I am not an expert, but I saw that the name of their old hit show is "Sex and the City" ---I always thought it was "Sex in the City". Either way, it is a strange name for a show.



-The only thing that overshadows my disgust for the price of groceries is the price of gas. I paid $5.25 for a gallon of milk yesterday. I paid $4.68 for a gallon of diesel. I think I might have to start drinking gas - it sure is cheaper than milk!

-One of the MSN news headlines today is : "Cringe Worthy: 15 Male Celebs that Are Too Painful to Watch" and beside the caption is a picture of Tom Cruise. It's so funny because it is so true. I am tellin' ya people, the worship of science fiction (scientology = science fiction made religion) will eventually turn you into a freak. Scientology is a religion made up by a science fiction writer....what could be more freaky that than?

-100+ two, three, and four year olds in VBS in our preschool dept. last night. That is a lot of preschoolers. I am the craft lady. I come up with the crafts, purchase the supplies and help the kids make the crafts with the help of a few other gals who are brave enough to volunteer. I wish my Easy Share software was working so I could show you a couple of the ones we did this year....they are great even if I do say so myself. ;-)


-I know things about building houses that a woman should not know. I should simply know paint colors and tile colors. I should never have to use the words "expansion joint" or 'rebar'. It is just plain wrong that I have been into stores that sell only supplies used to pour concrete - these places don't even have one thing sitting near the register that I would be tempted to buy.



-There are 2 types of parents. PARENT TYPE #1 The type that bring their kids to VBS so they can learn about Jesus (and they might even stay to help) PARENT TYPE #2 The type that bring their kids to VBS so that they can go on a date or so that they don't have to deal with their unruly kids for a couple of hours each night. Parent type #2 really gets on my nerves.

-My nails are not only ugly, they are dirty and I cant get them clean. Its a tragedy of epic proportions. I feel like Scarlet O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (only I didn't make a dress out of curtains). My personal hygiene is suffering due to circumstances beyond my control.

-There is a kid in our VBS named Bubba. Cute as he can be - blonde hair, dark tan, blue eyes - only in TN. (Or also maybe in AL, AR, LA, MS, GA, or TX - gotta love the south).

-Monday was my yearly visit to my favorite medical office. Nothing says "fun" like a Monday morning spent in the gynecologists office. Since my husband keeps hounding me to have another baby, I thought I would take the opportunity to ask about the risks for a woman who is 35 and semi-insane. My Dr. told me that since I am 35, I am now considered in the AMA category. What is AMA, you ask? Advanced Maternal Age. I was strangely offended by that term, but I did ask her to send me home with a Dr's excuse to give hubs so that I can get out of childbirth again.

-I am in love with shaved ice.

-Since learning on Monday that I am of Advanced Maternal Age, I have been noticing some signs that go along with my condition. I have seen some age spots on my face, I am tired all the time, and pretty irritable too. They say your eyesight is the first thing that goes, or is is your hearing? Cant remember. ;-)

-Have I mentioned that I am not an Obama fan, yet I fear that he will be our President for the next 8 years? If I haven't mentioned that before, let me mention it now.

-You know those little pink and white cookies that are shaped like animals and have those little colored round sprinkles on them? I love 'em.

-Having seen my picture (and some of you having seen me in person), does anyone have any pictures or suggestions for a hair change for me? I am willing to cut it, but not too short - chin length is my limit or I am willing to leave it the same length (shoulder) and have it styled differently. Please submit your suggestions in the comments section of this blog. Thank you for your time and more importantly "Thank you for your support".

-Remember the ants I told you about that have come back to their summer home, which is also my home? Had the exterminator come last Thursday. He said not to worry if they get worse before they get better because that is normal. Unfortunately, they have gotten worse and it is almost a week later! These ants love their summer home - who knew our house was a virtual tropical paradise for so many - we dont even have a pool (or a large bathtub for that matter). Called the exterminator back.......he will be coming on Friday morning. All I can say to those ants is: At least you will die in a place that you love.

-Can anyone help me understand atheism? I am having a hard time with it. On the other blog that I blog on (say that real fast 10 times) there are a lot of angry/semi-militant atheists who say 'not so nice' things. I think I will come up with a whole post about their arguments. If there is one thing those atheists love, its a good argument. I really do not believe that there is a such thing as an atheist. Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you. To be an atheist, you say that there is no God. To say such would make you all-knowing, and we all know that no human is all-knowing. So, really there is no such thing as an atheist. Maybe agnostic, but not atheist. They all use the same arguments over and over - it's like they go to school for it. That's it, I think they all go to "satan's Day School For Atheists". Anyway, I think it takes a lot more faith NOT to believe in God than it does to believe. Most atheists believe in evolution. Now which takes more faith: To believe that the whole world evolved from a slimy puddle of goo or that there is a Creator that made everything? Everything I have ever seen has a creator. If I get angry comments from God-haters because of this - don't worry, I am used to them.

-Yesterday, Kaden had to use the bathroom and wouldn't, so Lake looked at me and said "You should give him a suppositorium".

-I am behind on my blog reading - a little busy over here, please forgive me. I am off to work at the new house. When we move in I wonder if we will still call it "the new house"? I suppose I wont have to worry about that for a long time - ugh! Anyway, thank you for reading my ramblings (except those of you who skipped to the bottom -to you guys I say - I hate you missed all the exciting, juicy stuff in the middle ;-) Have a wonderful Thursday!
