Alert and Oriented (x4)

Lidna, over at 2nd Cup , continues the random dozen extravaganza. She's so smart. Won't you come play? 1. How good are you at delaying gratification? Funny you should ask. Going through some Crown Ministries things right now. I think I am pretty good when it comes to the “big” stuff, but as far as peanut M & M’s…not so much… 2. Maybe a marshmallow wouldn't be too difficult a temptation for you. What food (or anything else) would be most tempting? See #1. Also Lay’s Limon Potato Chips (aka Crack). 3. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being saintly) how patient are you? Probably a 7.5. I am situationally patient. If it’s a thing that the person I have to be patient towards has no real control (or experience; read here: new at this) I’m pretty good. If it’s because of an unthinking error or for the umpteenth time, again…not so much… 4. Have you ever waited for something in life only to be disappointed upon realization of the goal/object/etc.? The older I get, the less this ha...

I do not consider myself a great housekeeper. I struggle with throwing things away. I think I may have hoarding tendencies and I am determined to purge more this year. Especially paper. I want to purge paper. Less stuff. Less clutter. More Life. Thanks, Dave. Anyway, back to the housekeeping thing. I’m not so great at it. Not only would Donna Reed and June Cleaver shudder, I think that Martha Stewart and the FlyLady would have issues with me. But still in all, it’s mostly clutter. Seldom does it get to the point of grime and disgust that I gross myself out. Underneath the layer of clutter, it’s my home is basically hygienically sound, unless of course you count the 10’ x 10’ room where three...count ‘em...three... teenaged boys reside. That one is off the table. Remember Satan Sabra? Cute little ">kitty rescued from the grease trap at the Chick-fil-a by my sweet son? Bottle fed her, and today she’s beautiful... It’s a good thing she’s beautiful. Because if she...

Lidna, over at 2nd Cup , is continuing her Random Dozen meme. Come play and then link on up! 1. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being a cranky-baby-hissy-fitter, how much of a complainer are you? I think I’m pretty much a baby…I know that I’ve embarrassed myself from time to time…. 2. When someone else is talking, do you listen, or are you thinking about what you're going to say in response? Unfortunately, I am probably formulating my own response to what is being said. This is especially troublesome during group prayers, because I find myself wanting to “plan out” what I will say out loud that a) hasn’t been said before and b) doesn’t sound totally lame and ‘churchy.’ 3. I just deleted 1062 messages from my email account. Do you have any plans for a clean sweep this month--of anything? I really, really, really need to get to my desk. And go to the shredder place. Really. Really. I even alluded to this on facebook this week wherein I confessed the possibility that I think I have ...
