The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

Not all right on, but surprisingly accurate with others... check it out, and let me know what cast member comes up.

I'm "it"....

So, apparently I have been "tagged" 3 times now, and it doesn't look like this will stop until you blogging feinds get what you want...
Here's the deal (for those who don't know):
Each player of this game starts with the "six wierd things about me" blog post. People who get tagged need to write their own six weird things post and state the rules clearly. At the end of the post, tag six more people, and don't forget to leave a comment on their blog to tell them that they have been tagged and to read your blog.

1. I own two copies of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (novels, not movies... because the second copy had the coolest elven writing on it!), plus a map of Middle Earth.

2. I freqently break into random dance moves, most of the time accompanied by a self-made soundtrack...

3. I have zero self control when it comes to desserts, baked goods & Lindor chocolates (seriously... I could easily eat an entire bag of those things... and may or may not have done this in the past...)

4. I have a sick, sick sense of humour when it comes to slapstick... which is why it's best that I never work in an emergency department... "you did what?"... hilarity ensues...

5. When I am looking for a tasty treat that reminds me of home I pick up oreos with peanut butter, take off one side of the oreo, spread the PB on and squish it all back together... or straight up chocolate ice cream only all mushed up so it's like soft ice cream... mmmm

6. Growing up my siblings and I never fought (seriously, like, some minor teasing here and there, but that's it) & I listened to pretty much everything my parents said... wierd.

So that's the list. Most people in my "blogging commnity" have already been tagged but here we go:

1. The Pat of Pat & Ali
2. Robyn Bright (let's see if we get any life back here...)
3. anonymous blogging lady (this is a real person, she can reveal herself if she wants)
4. Dan Carlson (out on the east coast)
5. I second the request for Kevin Bacon
6. And add Jon Bon Jovi to the list

Only the lonely

well... I've done it. I've caved and joined the Facebook craze... I tried, I really tried not to, but sometimes there are people that send you that little pre-manufactured invitation & you think, "Man it would be great to be in contact with them again", and, so I've embrace the technology and am determined to use the powers for good (heh). It actually has been nice to be in touch with some folks from the past & for those who are not in this general geological area. But, it got me to thinking (like most things do...) why is it that people love this stuff so much? And the thing about it is, (here's it's slogan), "you'll never feel alone again". Not entirely true, but close. Because of these websites, blogs, msn and all the other messaging ways we can be only a blog post away & for so many people, this may be one of the only ways to have this kind of feeling.

The thing is though we still do feel alone sometimes, humans I mean. Loneliness is one of the worst & sometimes best feelings we can experience. I would never had said that this was a good feeling until recently... it's an emotion that totally drains you. It fuels lies that bury themselves deep inside & it stunts who you are, and who you're made to be. When you feel totally alone, it traps you. You wish someone would call, just so you could say you don't really feel like doing anything & when no one calls, you bury yourself deeper... but I have also found that it is in these times, when there is no one else, there is Christ. Loneliness brings you to your knees, and so many times that is where we need to be. Because that is when you know how incredible He is and how you need Him. You know His love for you & the unbelievable grace poured out for you, and that is the safest, most lovely places you will ever be.

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insult, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, I am strong." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Look closely

Do you see in this picture... it's not my hair, but it looks oh so familiar... I found yet another... white hair.... Now, I am not one who dislikes the white hairs... or am ashamed of it, but let's be serious here, I'm only 23! And this is not the first. There have been others... many others. Where do they come from? Why does this happen? Why to one and not to others? My wonderful Grandma Audrey, she had stunning black hair until her twenties, then it all went to white... this is not my hope for me. It's funny how a couple little white hairs can make you feel older then you feel.. if you follow what I mean. But you just give it a little tug & out it comes, no one the wiser (or prehaps I am less wise... since that's what white hair seems to represent). And maybe someday I will let it all out, make my hair into a fro and sport a trendy velour jump suit...ha... yes, maybe one day...

Email forwards...

Hey... these are pretty cheesy for the most part... but they made me laugh a bit. Enjoy!

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white? " "Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life." The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So why is the groom wearing black?

**************************************************************
A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she could, trying not to be late for Bible class. As she ran she prayed, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear Lord, please don't let me be late!" While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell, her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed herself off and started running again. As she ran she once again began to pray, "Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me either!"
************************************************************** An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, "They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, so they won't take me out dead!**************************************************************
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?" Without missing a beat one little boy answered, "Thou shall not kill."
************************************************************
At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and she said, "Johnny, what is the matter?" Little Johnny responded, "I have pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."
************************************************************** Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong lecture about the devil. One said to the other, "What do you think about all this Satan stuff?" The other boy replied, "Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out. It's probably just your Dad."

Wouldn't it be nice...

I just love this commercial... I even woke up laughing to myself one morning thinking of it... take a look..... IIIiiiiiii invite you!
