Tomatoes

I am leading a Bible UNstudy by Priscilla Shirer called Can We Talk?

It's only been going on for 3 weeks...2 of actual "study," and so far it's been quite a challenge.

The second DVD talked about if you want to have a prize tomato, you need to be willing to not only offer the the best fertilizer, but you have to be willing to prune all those other promising tomatoes off of the vine. There may be nothing wrong with those other tomatoes, but they aren't the prize tomato. So this week I am pruning. I am completely overwhelmed. I can't do this many things well, and I want to do what I do well, as unto God. And in that light, I will not be blogging for a little bit...not like I'm all that consistent anyway.

I did receive my Pay It Forward craft from Mary over at My ADHD Me. THANK YOU!! It really made me smile, and so did the note, which I am saving and using the craft that she gave me to help hold the note up (ok it's a refrigerator magnet). I'll post more on it later. I promise to get a craft out to ya'll who 'won' or 'lost' (however you may see it) soon. But right now, I'm tending to my 'mater garden....p.s. if anybody sees Marla, tell her I still need her address....

I really really do know what you mean.

This last week, I barely touched my computer and even when I did, well, I just sort of sat there.

We all need to take a break from it every now and then. Otherwise, something that is fun turns into a chore. And we CAN'T have that.

Glad you like your magnet. Maybe I'll go into the craft business...NOT!!!

Random Dozen October 7

Image
Time for this week's edition of Random Dozen. I just argued with myself over the placement of that apostrophe. It's way too early for this. Anyway, play along and head on over to 2nd cup and link up. (wow--that rhymes) 1. On an average, how often do you splurge and buy something for yourself? Maybe a couple of times a year. But the thing is, it usually has to be on clearance, and then additional savings off. Last week I gained huge ground and bought a top that was just on sale, not clearance. I don’t have this problem when I buy things for others, just myself. 2. Are you more like Hall or Oates? Just kidding. Real question: What is the last creative project you began/finished? Feel free to post a pic of it. Creative? Like in crafts? Pshaw. I wrote a pretty good article for our church website. Does that count? 3. OK, Goldie Locks, do you consider your house too big, too little or juuuust right? I love my house. But it has 6 people and 3 bedrooms and 1600 sq feet. In the gran...

Random Dozen. The Happy Birthday Edition

Image
Lidna, over at 2nd Cup , just celebrated her birthday and asked lots of people to contribute prompts for the Random Dozen meme.  She chose one of mine!  I'm so flattered!  So...here's my take on the doz....won't you play along, too? 1. From "Men Are Dumb ....": If you had a theme song that played whenever you walked into a room full of people, what would it be? My second son says “BOOM” by P.O.D. should play whenever I walk in to a room. Strangely disturbing. He says it was his “first band” outside of what his parents liked and Veggie Tales. How that makes it MY theme song, I’m not quite sure….In case you can’t decipher them, part of the lyrics say, “BOOM! Here comes the BOOM! How you like me now I say…” Never try to complete a blog post with the help of two 17-year-olds. At least he didn’t say Elton John “The B**ch is Back.” Sigh... 2. From Pam of "Alert And Oriented x 4": Which of your shoes are your absolute favorite, and which are of ...

THAT kind of neighbor, Toilets, Accidental Brunette-dness and the RD

Image
We are THAT family. For the past six weeks or so, our neighbors have been very patient with us. Every time we pull into our driveway, the theme from Sanford and Son plays. We have had up to six toilets in our yard at one time. In addition to this, because we are under construction and building out the garage as a bedroom for the two younger boys, everything that was formerly in the garage has had to find another temporary home. Thus, we have an elliptical machine, skate boards and ice chests on my front porch and a six-piece Pearl drum kit in my shed. And at one point, the bench seats from my old Suburban were leaning against the front gate. Obviously, we never parked our cars in the garage. Yep. THAT family. I am ever so glad we don’t have a homeowner’s association who gets wigged out over that kind of thing. And that we have neighbors who either are just oblivious or kind… And now, for the big reveal, I believe the time has come to answer the elusive question…what is UP wit...
