the chair has been accepted

angel took over the chair the minute it came in... LOL  she explored it under & over & finally settled... 

i was boo'd today.  in a good way!  : )  

they're YUMMY!  chocolate & pecan in a pretzel.  nom nom nom!  


so, did i say that aunt jan called to say she MIGHT want me to go w/ her to peoria saturday for a casting crowns concert?  they have the title song in the movie Courageous.  have you seen it yet?  my dad was a man of courage.  he loved the Lord, his family, his friends, random ppl on the street, and was always there to lend a helping hand to any & all of them.  i remember sometimes feeling resentful - for brief, brief moments - of the "special" ppl he would help.  now, i see that he was teaching us by example.  and it's not that i didn't LIKE the "special" ppl.  i really did - they were all super nice, and i was glad that dad was there to help them w/ whatever it was they needed at a given time.  


he's my inspiration.  : ) 


anyway, that was a tangent!  the trip - idk if it's going to work out or not - leaving that up to God, as all things are!  i think i would like to go, tho... so we'll see.  


tried to watch some GH but the computer wasn't liking it today - tho i did watch terra nova.  : )  i'm too tired to deal w/ more, so i put in buffy because it's ... well, easier.  *laugh*  i love my buffy!!!  i got to chat w/ april again (yay!!) & even w/ joy a little on the FB (yay yay!).  now i think it's time to read a little & get to bed.  a little earlier than midnight maybe??  ; )  we'll see!  


ttfn!

typhoon

it's a new flavor by mt dew, and it's pretty good!  the flavor description is that it's a tropical punch dew, and it lives up to that.  and it's kinda the same color as this text.  heh.


i was awakened this morning by a horrible charlie horse in my right calf.  my leg still hurts 10 hours later!  : (  thank the Lord it did not last very long, but it was powerfully mighty all the same.  i apparently did not drink enough water yesterday for how much i was losing.  harrumph.  am trying to chug more of that and i drank some milk today, too.  would help if i had a banana... 


mom didn't call to go to a movie today, so i just putzed around.  washed my hair, watched buffy, finally got the computer to work to finish America's Got Talent and watch the live link for Big Brother.  woot!    it's very weird watching BB this season, because i missed the first show.  i'm reading the BBDish site, but it's hard to get a real sense of who these ppl are.  idk, i'm just struggling this year!  if anyone has any insights from their watching of the show, please share!  


played w/ yet another nifty gadget brought to us by micaela - my writing style is apparently like that of the great stephen king!  : )  whose writing style do YOU share?  find out & lemme know!  


it was nice to have a quiet day, because this week is shaped up to be very busy!  but the fun kind - dinner w/ michelle on tuesday, mom's on thursday, hanging out w/ kathy on friday, dubuque on saturday, and hanging out w/ linda hopefully at some point!  a retired co-worker now has a baking company, and i ordered some cookies & zucchini bread which she'll deliver on ... thursday, i believe.  i can't wait!  i've been craving zucchini bread all summer!  : ) 


that, and some really good garden tomatoes.  bring on the tomatoes!  


what've you been craving this summer?  


ttfn!
