  • Drumroll, please...THE LIST is here...

    EDIT: Mike posted some great thoughts on C.S. Lewis and the purpose of fantasy and fiction...you can read them here (at the end of the post). ****** Okay, okay...by popular demand here is my Top Ten Potential Celebri…

  • Better whacko than rude (well, most of the time, LOL!)...

    Does this ever happen to you all? I'm sitting in traffic on the way home and the person in the car ahead of me starts waving. I hesitate a moment, then they wave again. So feeling that it is better to err on the side of …

  • What a day...SIGH...

    Today's brought out a bit of the dysfunctional side of my family, resulting in my being in a royal FUNK. Well, I won't call my grandmother & aunt dysfunctional (though the label sort of applies)...the situation betwe…

  • I am bushed. I did a ton of cleaning today so I sort of feel like I accomplished something useful. I threw away a bagful of old makeup and nail polish (scary how I let stuff accumulate!) and started getting some clothes …

  • Breaking news...there is no ketchup at Steak-n-Shake

    Just thought I'd share that news as I just came from S-N-S. Exciting, I know. Well, I made it to the clinic this morning at 8:00. That was a titanic struggle to actually be up that early on my day off. I drove my broth…

  • Happy Thanksgiving (officially)!!!

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope each of you has had a wonderful, blessed day however you've chosen to spend it. My family had some of our typical Thanksgiving day issues...most notably the fact that the turkey (AGAIN…

  • Random Wednesday Post...

    A question that needs to be answered: Why is there a sign on the door from the garage into the building at work that says “Out of Service,” yet the door opens just fine? I could probably find someone to ask but that wou…

  • Okay, so maybe I'm not quite the nerd I thought I was yesterday...Becky threw her back out and can't sit for any length of time so we're not going to see Goblet of Fire until probably next week. (Wait a sec...I just got …

  • I just got back from seeing Goblet of Fire...again. I cried at the end of it...again. I think I'm supposed to see it tomorrow with Becky...again. I think this qualifies me for nerd status (see Dan the Theologian's post).…

  • This isn't really a review...just some ramblings...

    With the release of Goblet of Fire, the Harry Potter film series is halfway over and has reached a critical turning point in the storyline. Of course fans of the books don't know the end of the story yet, since J.K. Rowl…

  • I started this little bit of blogging I did yesterday before going to see Goblet of Fire and thought I'd finish it up... Last night I had to go to Krogers at 8:15 to buy a six pound can of green beans to heat up in the …

  • GOF...and a nose-less Fiennes brother.

    There could be potential spoilers below regarding Goblet of Fire...just wanted to warn ya'll! Read ahead at your own peril... Just returned from seeing Goblet of Fire with Lori, of course. It was quite the thrill ride…

  • Interview Survival Skills 101

    First of all, I want to say thank you so much to everyone who was praying for me & the job interview. I appreciate it so very, very much! I feel like the interview went really well, so now the "waiting game" begins …

  • Back from Cornhusker Land...

    I started trying to write a post yesterday after I got home but was too tired to finish it. Waking up at 4:00 am to go to the airport is for the birds, yeesh! The trip to Lincoln was wonderful. Granny was completely…

  • "It is a truth universally acknowledged...

    ...that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (Now where to find one? Hmm...but I digress...how a film version of P&P can exist without one of the …

  • So at the very moment Darcy is laying his heart at Elizabeth's feet, a woman sitting in front of Lori & me exclaims: "Honey, if you ain't gonna take him, he's MINE!!" Amen, sister!! This movie was surprisingly good…

  • Happy Thursday!! I want to thank everyone for their thoughts & prayers & comments, I appreciate them so very much. Things are much better today...I really feel like God brought me to a turning point in the last …

  • This has got to be the cheesiest Christmas album I own (I mean good grief he sings "From A Distance"), but I love it. Just thought I'd share that. So there is a lot going on in my life...I could definitely use prayers f…

  • I love the Brits...

    EDIT: The results of this quiz are so incredibly perfect it's eerie (thanks to Camille for the quiz!!)... You Belong in London A little old fashioned, and a little modern. A little traditional, and a little …

  • I love my car insurance agent...

    ...because my payment for the next six months is $85.00 lower than the last six months' payment (and I have no idea why)! That is the kind of surprise I'd like to see more of, haha! I made reservations yesterday for my …

  • News of the Weird

    So I thought I should use a title on this post since that's a new feature here on Xanga. Don't expect me to keep up with this though, as I usually have trouble thinking of sufficiently creative titles to meet my high blo…

  • EDIT: I'm a GODMOTHER!!!! I just got back from visiting little Izzy (Isabella) and she is TOO CUTE!! Momma Amber & the hubby are doing well (though I have to say Amber looks more rested than Aaron...of course al…

  • Chris is always talking about good song cycles on albums (okay, so he's not always talking about them but I know he's mentioned them more than once). I haven't really come across one that I thought worth mentioning (unle…

  • EDIT: Almost forgot...ya'll go visit my friend Toby's marvelous blog and check out his eerie ability to channel Batman. I have wanted to recommend The Assignment by Mark Andrew Olsen for a while (published by Bethany H…
