As promised: Fluff

I’m taking a break from being controversial. But as Rachel reminds me, I’m a tried and true Agnes Scott girl. We like us a little debate.
Onto the fluff!!
I absolutely love this movie and am not quite sure why it’s not in my library of videos right now.

OH YEAH!!! 1985. This was way before any of [...]

Dare to Question the Establishment?

Oooh, oooh, oooh!!! I can’t wait for this to come out. I want to be first in line to watch it. I have been an “anti-evolutionist” for years…for longer than I ever believed it. Though I’m not sure I really believed it even when it was being taught to me in school. At that age [...]

A Sampling of recent life

Our first night truly without any tv was a success. We got rid of cable tv and they finally shut it off for us (we had free cable tv for a couple months because they wouldn’t believe me when I told them we were still getting it). We listened to a cd and played “freeze [...]

Losing my religion

I read a short article today that notes that people are changing their faith almost as quickly as they’re changing their underwear (my words, not the article’s). My guess is like everything else in our lives we’re also expecting quick fixes with our religions.
We expect our food to be fast; dramas in people’s lives crescendo and [...]

22 February

I was going to let this day go as just another day. But then, I thought, it’s not just another day! Today I am 33 years old. Leigh Anne, I’m going to borrow your dad’s quote (I hope it’s ok!): “you are now the age Jesus was when He showed you just how much He [...]

A New Beth Moore Study!!!

I’m so excited about what will happen in the next six weeks. Doing a Beth Moore study is an event in and of itself. Study everyday, good discussion every week, watching Beth teach every week. All of it helps get you closer to God in a way that usually doesn’t happen without her insightful studies. I wish [...]

My Post Meme

I’ve been tagged by Heather for a meme that talks all about memememe! I don’t even know how to pronounce meme, but I think it will be fun to do. I’m supposed to link to my five favorite posts and I’m supposed to follow the rules. So, here are the rules:
**The Rules**
Post about the meme [...]

Post Vacation Blues

The high from having new floors has worn off. Was it the glue they used to tack them down? Whatever was making us glad to be home has worn off.
Daily life
 The gray sky juxtaposed against the sunny warmth of vacation.
Du has over 200 emails waiting for him at work. And that’s only one of his accounts. [...]

We’re home!

We’re home! After a 4 and a half hour delay and threats of cancelling the flight we took off from Orlando and landed safely in Kansas City. While we were flying over Alabama the captain warned us of turbulent weather and had the crew suspend in-flight service. The turbulence wasn’t bad at all. The way [...]

Day 14 - On hold at the airport

We are in a waiting pattern at the airport. Thank God we’re actually in the airport and not on the plane. There’s ice on the runways in Kansas City and for some reason they’re having trouble removing it. It’s always cold in Kansas City (except for the couple weeks in summer where it turns to [...]

Day 13 - Downtown Disney

We slept in!!! If you call 0830 sleeping in. Today was a day of laundry and relaxed shopping. We headed out around lunchtime to Downtown Disney. Lunch was at Fulton’s Crab House, a restaurant on a “boat” in the water. Not the best seafood we’ve had (definitely not as good as the first night in [...]

Reagan’s Birthday Surprise

Ok, I think I finally got a solution to the big video mystery. I realized my video is over 100MB. No one really likes to help you get those uploaded to the web. Thank you Heather for introducing me to Vimeo. May I love them as much after I hit the publish button as I do [...]

Day 12 - Dining with Princesses

Today Reagan is 6 years old. She says it’s hard to believe she’s six and that’s it’s hard to say she’s six instead of five. Today was also Reagan’s last set of birthday surprises. She got dressed in her special birthday dress and we headed for the Magic Kingdom to “see some of the things [...]

Day 11 - Disney MGM

Rise and shine at 0600 again, like everyday this week. Heather commented to me last night that she’s not sure how I get the energy to do this. I’m not sure either, but I do know that it’s fading. The first two mornings I woke up before my alarm went off, and I even got [...]

I made the Florida Today News

A reporter from Florida Today stopped and talked to me while we were waiting for the shuttle to launch. I forgot about until tonight and I looked it up. I made the article!
http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200880207021
Vicki Diesing, 32, of Warrensburg, Mo., had her daughter, Ashlyn, 1, standing between her knees. Ashlyn seemed oblivious to the shuttle event, first focusing [...]
