Really.

I think somebody is messing with my brain.  Today IS Monday, right?  Cuz if it isn’t, there is no other reasonable explanation for my day.

I went to the library.  A place where there is more parking than space inside the library.  Only, today, every last parking was full.  And that’s when I realized it must be story time.  And my kids were late for a nap already.  So I drove right on through the parking lot.  Going into a library at storytime and NOT going to storytime is a little bit like taking kids into a toy store with no money.  And if there are sleep issues on TOP of it…well…anyways.  So no library today.

Stopped at the car dealership to see if they had any vans like we’re looking for (yes, I’m a little bummed at making the jump to mini-van mom…not that there is the slightest thing wrong in the world with mini-van moms, I’m just not that far past being the teen in the backseat to feel quite right being the mom in the front…lol…yes, it’s just a frame of mind…I’m working on overcoming it.  And the more wrinkles I find in the mirror, the easier it is, let me tell ya!)……………..ANYWAYS!  So the dealership almost (but not quite) gave me the eye roll when I told them how much we were going to pay for what we wanted.  So I left. 

The pressure washer that belongs to the in-laws that we’re trying to get fixed (the pressure washer, not the in-laws…some things can’t be fixed…LOL…KIDDING!) leaked black gunk all over my trunk.  That was right AFTER I almost killed myself trying to load it in my trunk…ya’ll have any idea how heavy those things are?  Well, I’m wishing I never laid eyes on the thing, much less brought it to our house…I’m having very strong feelings of dislike for it right now.  Especially now that instead of CLEANING things around our house, it’s now made more things DIRTY….

OH WELL.  I’m going to go before my hamburgers BURN.  And no, I’m NOT using the grill.

Photo Hunt Fun…

Well, the voting for the “View From Above” shot in the photo scavenger hunt has begun….here’s the link if you want to see the ones that were Kristi’s favorites and in the running.  The vote is at the bottom of all of them.  I voted for #7 cuz I thought it was the coolest artistically.  And I didn’t do it for votes, so I’m totally not drumming up votes here.  LOL! 

In case you missed it, here is my entire entry for the June Photo Scavenger Hunt.

Also, I looked for a hunt for July and couldn’t find one, so I made up my own list for fun…if you want to play along (for fun…) you can find that here: Faith’s June Hunt

THEN, Kristi posted a link to someone else who had the same idea and couldn’t find a July hunt but I think they’re doing voting on theirs.  That one is here, and I’m doing that one, too.  So much for July being a MINI hunt…hahaha!  It’ll be fun though!  

Munchkin Quotes

I keep meaning to post these since the collection has gotten a bit large, so I guess now is as good a time as any.  These are from the last 6 months (age 4.75 – 5 years old)

"Whoa! I bet THAT hurt." -while watching the really bad dancing youtube clip

"Be PA-SHENT -- my young PAD-awan." -talking to K-man (a Yoda quote that gets repeated by the parental figures in this house quite often)

"Too bad, too sad." -after she was told "no" about something.

"Mom? When is Snowball & Jango going to have some baby cats?"
"Umm, (trying not to laugh) they don't have that feature."
"Maybe that's Snowball's problem. Maybe she wants some baby cats."
-after she finished looking at a picture book of cats

"No way, Jose!" -after she was told to do something and before she got consequences for smart-mouthin' mom

"____ (K-man's real name), will you pray for my boo-boo?"
"Thank you for ___'s boo-boo. A---men." (K-man)
"NO. Say help it to feel better."
"Hep ____'s boo-boo feel better. A---men." (K-man)
"No, ____. Say help it not to mind. and--"
"Hep it not to mind. AMEN." (K-man...then he walks off...guess he was getting a little tired of being bossed)

"I'm LARRY-BOY!" (K-man)
"No, you're just PLAIN OL' ____ (insert K-man's real name here)." (Munchkin)

"I'm getting old." (Mom)
"You're getting old? But you eat all your vege-tubbels?!?!" (Munchkin)

“Mom, Jango GROWED.  He is a BIG cat.  With a BIG belly!!!”

(standing in the kitchen, intently mashing buttons on her pink toy cell phone)
”What are you doing?” (Mom)
”I’m TEX’ING daddy!” (Munchkin in a “DUH” tone of voice)

A Bit Of Thriftiness

Well, apparently this is her last Thrift Store Thursday, so I figured I’d jump on board, but then I saw there is another one called Thrifty Thursday, so I figured that would work, too.

This is my favorite find from a couple weeks ago…

My dad was over at my house and saw my teflon coated pots that I’ve had since we got married. A few days later, he told me I needed to buy stainless steel because the teflon was in a bad way and majorly scratched off.

Well, I knew stainless was a bit pricey so I figured I’d just start working on KC but then not a week later, I was in one of my favorite thrift stores with my mom.

And I found this set:

It was a bit pricey (I thought) for used at between 4.99 and 9.99 for each pot, but mom assured me it was likely worth it, so taking her advice, I bought the entire 13 (or maybe 15, I don’t remember what I counted) piece set and it totalled up around $60.

Then I got home and looked up the name on the pots. This Flavorite set is a 22 piece but I have all the major pieces and a few of the minor pieces. Check out the price! Amazon has a 13 piece set for a list price of $1595…of course, Amazon is actually selling it for like $250 or something but hey, the list price is astronomical! LOL! Even at $250 though, I think paying $60 was a good deal! LOL!

Anyway, all the teflon pots are now gone…and I feel like I’m cooking at home again because these are the kinds of pots that my parents had when I was a kid and like grandma cooked with. *grin*

Small Steps Toward Stupid

I was reading my blog subscriptions the other day in one of my free moments and came across some blog award nominees and I was looking through the list and thought this blog called Stuff Christians Like sounded interesting.  So I clicked it and was kind of skimming through (it really sounds like something my hubby would write) but anyways, I love the tongue in cheek way of looking at serious matters and so I continued reading.  Then I came across this post.  You should totally go read it.  Some of the best food for thought I’ve come across in awhile….

It also brought back to mind this devotion at Proverbs 31 Ministries the other day called Power to Overcome. 

…The first time I tasted this diet drink I didn't think it was all that yummy. BUT it promised to save me calories so I decided it was worth the slightly strange chemical taste.

In short time, as it grew familiar, I began to like the taste.
Wasn't long before I was flat out addicted – wanting, even needing to have my beloved drink daily or I grew headachy and irritable. Sad thing is, it didn't help me lose weight at all. But that didn't matter because now I loved the diet drink. Furthermore, I was convinced if I gave it up, I'd not only get headaches but I'd gain more weight. I was enslaved in a way…

…What helped me give up the diet cola? I found a different, healthier beverage I really liked and developed my taste for it. I was willing to give up that because I now had this. It's the same way with sin.

What can help us overcome the sins we love, but hate loving? A surpassing love. A greater love that carries with it no hate, no guilt, and no shame. A love that actually delivers the many, many benefits it promises…

…When we catch hold of that love - when we read of it regularly, drink it in, and see it at work in our lives and in its glory - we cannot help but love Him back with all our heart, soul and mind. And in that state of all encompassing love, sin pales in comparison. Its power grows feeble. It no longer tastes as good…

Small steps toward stupid.  Great thoughts.  I need to go back and re-read both posts again myself. 

Scripture that the devotional referenced is 2 Peter 1:3, but I think the verses all the way through ten are all right on point:

^{2 Peter 1:3-10}

³According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

⁴Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

⁵And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

⁶And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

⁷And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

⁸For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

¹⁰Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Verse 10 especially, if we give diligence, we will not fall, and then, we’ll find ourselves making small steps toward wisdom instead of stupid.  Easy to say.  Much harder to accomplish. 

Finally, Bro. P, at church, told us this little tale a few weeks ago, that really made an excellent point.  I’m not quoting verbatim, but here’s the general idea:

A man is stranded on a desert island and manages to survive alone there for fifteen years.  When he is finally rescued, and the plane is lifting off the island, the rescuers point to a little hut on the beach. 

“What’s that?” they ask. 

“Oh, that’s my church,” replied the man. 

As the helicopter went higher, they saw another little building over the hill. 

"And what’s that building?” they asked. 

“Well,” the man answered, “that’s where I USED to go to church,”

Moral of the story, well…I’m not going to say it…you can draw your own conclusions!  LOL!

And to end on a light note, here’s a church sign I passed the other day. 

He will bring you THREW it? 

Really?

Well. Okay.

Another Photo Scavenger Hunt

For the month of June, I joined Kristi’s PSH again and here’s my take on her list.  This one was fun.  To see the other participants’ photos, go here.

1. A View from Above (looking down)
 
(From the top of the Ferris Wheel at Tweetsie Railroad – June 11, 09)

2. A Macro Shot
 
(Seriously, I took this.  KC didn’t believe me when I told him that.  LOL!  It was on the side of the gas pump at Ingles the other day.  I have no idea what it is, except that I got out to pump gas and thought…HUM…that would make an INTERESTING macro shot for the photo hunt!  Then I grabbed the camera and even though it wasn’t my big camera, I think it turned out rather fine…YAY!)

3. Laughter
 
(I just LOVE posting pictures that people will want to kill me over!  Sorry, CV, it’s really the best laughter shot I got all month!  And maybe it doesn’t work this way for you, but every time I see it, I giggle!)

4. Relaxation 

(Well, he wasn’t doing MUCH relaxing…but at this particular moment he looked a little relaxed…LOL!)

5. A Celebration
 
(The Munchkin graduated preschool.  On to Kindergarten this fall…my how time does fly!)

6. A Sunset

(Grabbed this shot as we were leaving the parking lot at church the other night.)

7. Sun/Lens Flare
 
(That is the tall round ride at Carowinds that just goes around the pole and views the whole park.  In all the times I’ve been to Carowinds, I have never ever rode that one.  But I thought it looked cool in the sunset as we were leaving!  And there is DEFINITELY some sun/lens flare going on!)

8.  A Bridge 

(A few boards nailed across a creek in the middle of a pasture.  And occasionally, there will be a cow underneath that bridge.  Maybe someday I’ll take a hike INTO the pasture to get that shot.  LOL!)

9.  A Shadow
 
(Also at Carowinds.  This was one I found as I was going through my pics looking for anything with a shadow.  If I’d taken this shot for the shadows intentionally, I’d have cleared the area for the shadows.  OH WELL.  A shadow’s a shadow, right?  And as I went through said pics, I realized that I don’t think I posted any Carowinds pics from our trip at the beginning of this month.  HUM.  I shall have to remedy that sometime soon.)

10.  A Garden
 
(My neighbor’s flower garden.  I took a picture of MY vegetable garden but this flower garden is much prettier, so I’m going to use it.)

11.  A Park
 
(Well, it’s not TECHNICALLY a park, since it’s in our backyard, but it has all the same features.  Woods, playground, swings, slides, a water fountain -- okay, so the water comes out of the fridge, but whatever, okay? LOL!)

12.  A Street Scene
 
(This fire truck was following a funeral procession – hence the reason I was stopped and taking pictures from the middle of the road.  I’m not sure, but I’m guessing that perhaps the deceased may have been involved with the fire department…or else there was a fire that was going to be completely burned out by the time the fire truck got out of the funeral procession.)

13.  Signage

(Hey look!  It’s another red barn.  With a cool looking old sign painted on it.  Doesn’t get any cooler than that!)

14.  A Summer Activity

(Well, okay, maybe THIS would be cooler than that.  This is a FAVORITE summer activity!)

15.  A Summer Treat

(Home made kool-aid popsicles)

16.  Earth

(Well, this isn’t exactly a globe or planet looking photo, but it technically could qualify as “earth” albeit just a few small particles of it….LOL!)

17.  Air/Wind

(Air/Wind is a lot harder to capture than you’d think.  I mean, how do you picture air?  ANYWAY, this is the wind blowing some flags at a church I used to pass on the way to work every day.  I happened to be down that way again, and grabbed a shot of it.  Okay, so I took about 10 shots trying to get the wind blowing it at a pretty angle, but never mind that.)

18.  Fire

(Grilling out on the back deck.  This was AFTER I tried to blow the thing up!)

19.  Water

(In the car again.  This time on the way to church in a crazy downpour that made it hard to see anything past 5 feet in front of your windshield.  Focused on the window with F stop of f/4, 1/60 sec, ISO 400 and a sharpening pass in PS3 to catch the water running across the window.)

20.  Something Vintage (pre-1980)
 
(My dad recently freshened up Mr. Rooster’s paint job, but that doesn’t change his vintage-ness.  This dude has been around as long as I can remember.  It sat in Grandma’s yard back in the old home place and my mom said it was there as far back as she can remember.  I’m not saying how old that makes it, but it’s definitely older than 1980.  Anyways, it got passed down to mom after Grandma died and now sits outside on mom’s porch.)

21.  Something Made of Glass

(Munchkin’s VBS Sand Art in a glass baby food jar with gold spray-painted lids.  VBS Theme was Truth Trek and more specifically: Joseph – this craft was on the night of the coat of many colors)

22.  Something Made of Wood

(Wood burned wall plaques…VBS crafts…the older groups got to wood burn their names in Egyptian Hieroglyphics.  With all it’s difficulties, this project turned out pretty well and the kids seemed to really enjoy making something besides paper crosses and plastic mugs.  *Grin*)

23.  Something that Floats
 
(Let’s just say the little FLOATIE RING floats.  The little kid inside it hasn’t quite got the hang of the float yet.)

24.  Something Railroad Related
 
(A train going through the city up the hill.  I passed right in front of it a minute before the gates went down and didn’t even see it coming and as I was on the tracks, looked over and saw it and about had a heart attack.  Thank goodness it was slow moving.  HA.)

25.  Something Round
 
(Hay bales…but the tree has a nice round shape, as well.)

Well, that’s it.  So fun.  A couple of them I couldn’t decide which pic to use, so I put a few of my second choices on the photography blog.

I Need Help

No really.  In so many ways, I can’t even begin to tell you!  LOL!  But seriously, I really need someone to tell me what my kid is saying and where in the WORLD it may have come from. 

He says (and I’m typing it exactly the way he sounds):
”Listen, Poo-Jo!  Do NOT dees ba boys!”

K-man is very emphatic when he says it and I’ve googled it…and I don’t know how to spell it, but I’ve tried all kinds of spellings and can’t find ANYTHING.  So does anyone have any ideas? 

I’m guessing it is from a movie since he loves quoting movies, and I’m also guessing it’s probably a little warped from the original line, but does it sound familiar to anyone?  He sounds hilarious when he says it but I’m just can’t quite figure it out. 

Also falling in the category of reasons I need help, would be my little pyrotechnic stunt that I pulled with the grill tonight. 

You know.  I have never lit a grill before.  A gas grill.  Like the one on our back deck.  KC tells me to get it started so it will be hot for him when he gets home.  So he’s on the phone and he’s going to “WALK ME THROUGH IT” right? 

So he does.  Turn all the knobs on high.  And push the light button. 

He neglected to tell me that I should open the lid before doing that.  There was a BIG boom.  My arm hairs are singed off.  I’m lucky my shirt didn’t catch on fire because the flames came out as far as I was standing.  The neighbor came over to see what was wrong because “that didn’t sound like fireworks.”  He proceeded to kindly explain why the grill exploded and then calmly started it the correct way.  Thankfully it still worked!

KC says he didn’t tell me because he figured it was common sense to open the lid before cranking the grill.  I say, as long as you’ve been married to me, how is it that you are still under the delusion that I am in possession of the minutest ounce of common sense?  

I walked around for a good half hour smelling something odd before I realized that all my arm hairs on my right arm (the one that was hitting the start button) were white and curled and if you touched them, they fell off.  That’s when I figured out that I was smelling my roasted arm hairs. 

Yummy. 

FYI, hamburgers and hotdogs smell much better on the grill than my arm hairs. 

PS Perhaps I’m stating the obvious, but The Grill Master working the grill in these pictures…was not me!

PPS Don’t forget, if you have any ideas on what the kid might be saying…  Please fill me in! 

The VBS

Is finally finished.  Here’s the cleaned up craft department…all the crafts sorted by class and nearly ready for pickup on Sunday.

What a JOB! 

It was more than reward enough to hear some of the kids saying that they’d been to the church across the street and they liked THIS one better!  And one kid was not feeling well at all but when her mom told her she could stay home and rest, refused because she didn’t want to miss a night of VBS.  That was sweet! 

And we had a LOT of new kids.  I’m not sure how the count wasn’t over 50 total because I thought I had over 50 craft sets made up, but somehow we still ran out of things in crafts and had to do some quick improv!  Yay to K on most of that!  She was the bomb in all the VBS stuff. 

Actually, M&K rocked the whole week…in spite of all the last minute changes that got thrown their way. 

Like the night I had to fill in for rehearsal as Potiphar’s (played by Robert) wife and be the wicked conniving woman who tried to get Joseph (played by Jake) to…well, ya’ll know your Bible stories…ANYWAYS!  I was blushing worse than K, I think, so they put KC in as Joseph (which made TWO Joseph’s but I only had eyes for one…LOL).  Well, I guess I surprised people because I keep hearing about it.  LOL!  I think I’m happy though that people are surprised that I can be so good at “wicked and conniving.”  ROFL!  Unfortunately, I don’t think they were surprised at that part, since it seems to be more about my convincing screams that shocked them.  Teeehehe.  Oh well.  It was definitely good for a laugh.  Most of my “crying” was actually giggles, especially after my “husband (Potiphar)” came running back with the “guards” to see why I was screaming and said, “Honey! What’s wrong?!?”  HILARIOUS!  And then when Bro K (who was one of the guards who brought the Jake/Joseph to Potiphar to be condemned to jail) got really into the role and started fake beating up the prisoner as he was taking him away….TOO FUNNY!!!  I was really glad that the original actress for Potiphar’s wife (Stacy) showed up for the actual skit though because while I was giving it my best shot for K in rehearsal, I was very much hoping I wouldn’t have to do it for the actual skit.  Because, you know, I’m better at funny than serious, and the whole Potiphar’s wife scene is totally not supposed to be that funny!  But I would have done it if I’d had to…cuz I love K like that. 

Anyways, I gots to get up in the morning and get some cooking done to take up to the church for after the VBS program in the morning.  I hope all our kids show up again and bring their families.  It could be awesome.  Quite a few say they’re going to start coming all the time. 

Well, time for bed!

Later!

I Wonder

(Sorry, this is deep…you may or may not want to skip on by)

If Michael Jackson had one more day to live, what he would do differently before he died. 

I wasn’t a huge MJ fan, but I know some of the things he did that made him popular and I’m fairly certain they could not be classified in any way as glorifying Christ.  I’m not his judge, and I can’t say where he’s at tonight, but, in all seriousness, I am fairly certain that he’s probably not resting in peace. 

And like him or dislike him, that is a sad thought.

People enter eternity everyday, and if you stop and think about it, it’s a very sobering thought, but not knowing (or knowing OF) those people or how they lived, it’s easy to have hope that they ARE resting in peace. 

But when you hear of the death of people you know (or know OF) and you know how they lived and what spirit was evident in their lives, and that the spirit of God was, just as clearly, NOT evident in their lives, there are some tough conclusions to those scenarios.  Very sad. 

Years ago, the dad of an acquaintance of mine got sick.  I knew (of) what kind of life the man was living and when I saw him, I didn’t say anything about God, or death, or even exhibit the spirit of God before him in my life, because I wasn’t where I should have been and I didn’t feel right about telling someone else what they should do when I wasn’t doing what I was supposed to be doing.  The next week, he died.  I didn’t know him that well, and according to the acquaintance, he wasn’t someone you’d really want to be around much, but I have never stopped regretting that I might have been his last chance and I blew it because I was being a jerk.  Nice guy or not, he still had a soul, and it’s a terrible thing to think that you might have had a large part of the responsibility on where that soul ended up.

I am quite sure I have never had any kind of opportunity to have any influence on MJ’s soul, but every time I hear of someone dying and I have little hope of their having a peaceful eternity, my mind always goes back to that man that I wasn’t a witness to and I am sad all over again. 

Lesson learned though, and by the grace of God, I’ll not repeat that mistake again. 

I saw a few comments of people saying they were glad MJ was dead because of whatever reason, but yah know, that kind of bothers me a little. 

Personally, I only like it when bad guys die in movies.  Because in the movies, they’re not really dead.  It’s not eternity we’re talking about.  In real life, when the bad guys die, it’s sad.  Yeah, the world has one less bad guy walking around, but if the bad guys found Jesus, the world would have one less bad guy walking around AND when he died, hell would have one less soul to claim.  It’s a win-win situation. 

Anyway.  Just what’s on my mind tonight. 

Reason #42811…

Why, when using sites like Craigslist, you should be extremely cautious and/or don’t commit to buying something sight unseen:

View Larger Map

Still not sure what I’m talking about?  Well, when you pull up into what looks like a 1940’s junkyard and the kids are running around in a sprinkler that is about 9 feet tall and made of PVC pipe with a pump handle to turn it off and on, you kinda start wondering.  Call me clueless, but I wasn’t aware that you could find this kind of place so close to metropolitan areas. 

I didn’t buy what I went there to look at. 

That picture up there?  That’s the place.  And see how the bottom says Map data 2009??  No joke.  If it hadn’t been for the kids running around, I’d have had serious worries of never being heard from again.  Actually, if it hadn’t been for the kids running around the yard, I would probably have turned my car around and hightailed it out of there because I was having serious doubts.  Those two metal roof buildings….those are the houses.  I’m no snob and honestly the people were as nice as can be.  But when they take you to look at what you are there to look at and they take you to a car with knee high grass growing up through the wheels and open the back door and start pulling it out, you start to have second thoughts.  Especially when we’re talking a decent chunk of money.  We kinda did that whole thing with the playground…and I didn’t want to end up with that kind of “looks good on the outside but then you pay for it and get it home and OH…it isn’t in as good of shape as it looked” deal again. 

I’m not one to judge a book by it’s cover, and just talking to them, they seemed like very nice folks, but there’s a line between very nice folks and buying something from them.  Know what I mean? 

My Ears…

Are itching like fire.  So what else would I do but sit here and wonder who in the world is talking about me?? 

Could it be my MIL who might have discovered that last post by now?  (teehehe)  I’m not dead yet, so perhaps she hasn’t.  And by the way…her son said, when he saw the post…and I quote: “(INSERT KC’S CHARACTERISTIC EVIL LAUGH HERE) Oh, that’s PERFECT! (INSERT EVIL LAUGH AGAIN).”  Now we’re both dead.  ROFL.  Nah…I kid.  ;-)

Or maybe somebody is talking about the crazy craft leader that was in charge of VBS crafts tonight at church.  Uh.  That would be me.  And I just hope it’s good.  LOL.  Although I did my best, there’s always the possibility that it’s not. 

Too bad there aren’t different kinds of itches so we could know if the things that were being said about us were good or bad.  HA. 

I find it interesting to note that we really can’t control if people talk good or bad about us.  We can always do our best NOT to give them anything bad to say, but there are some people who, if there is nothing bad to say about someone, can always make something up.  And then there’s always that little detail that God told us about…beware if all men speak well of you….

And I should also note that, while I acknowledge the possibility, I don’t really think the previous paragraph applies to anyone who might be talking about me (at least not today). 

I’m just gonna hope it’s good.  Cuz they are itching worse than they’ve itched in a LONG time. 

I think I’m gonna go find a Q-tip!
