Oh no I dint...oh, wait...yes I did!



I am a sucker.
There is one born every minute.

Point in case:




This is the newest member of my household. We THINK her name is Jouet (French for 'toy'). We aren't positive about that yet. But it seems to fit. To illustrate just how tiny she is right now, I direct you to this photo:









 
My apologies for the quality of the photo..it's from my cell phone, but yes, she is INSIDE Caleb's sweatpants pocket.  She probably weighs about 1.5 lbs now.  She may get up to 6 or 7 lbs and 10" tall.  She is called a Phantom...which means while she is a toy poodle, she has the markings of a Doberman Pinscher.  I don't like poodles.  But who couldn't love a face like that?  Yes, I caved.  Yes, I am potty training another dog. 
Ted's sister raises them and she is going to France next weekend to visit her daughter, who is an absolutely amazing young woman, a coluratura soprano.  Even if you don't like opera, I think you will hear about her.  She was told last week by the Prima Diva in France that she would one day have multiple homes on multiple continents.  But I digress.  Becky needed to find a home for Jouet.  Quickly. Ted was visiting his mom and dad and came home with Jouet.  I am a sucker.  But at least the little dog tu*ds are miniscule. 
Claire is NOT happy, but will adjust.  Sabra....maybe not...  If you know of anyone in NM or the Four Corners area looking for a new furkid, Jouet has a brother....
 
In other news, Tyler left last Wednesday for his Stand True trip.  So far, it's going with only a minor hitch:  his cell phone is broken.  He can receive calls and call out, but texting is broken.  Hoping for a Verizon anchor store near one of his stops so that he can get it replaced while it's still under warranty.  Please continue to pray for him, and the whole team and the lives they will touch.  He is in his happy place tonight, at the Icthus Festival in KY, which features lots of his favorite bands.  What a great time to be 19....
 
Tomorrow is day 2 of SonForce Kids VBS...we have a spy/space theme and I'm in charge of games.  It's also crazy hair day.  I have blue spray, so I can finally acheive my lifelong goal of being a blue-haired lady.  Now I can officially tell all the young moms how to raise their toddlers and be both authoratative and guilt-free at the same time.  SCORE!
 
I'm taking votes for the new little furkid's name...any suggestions are welcome!
So now,  as one of my friends from England says, "til soon."

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

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

S-kating along plus another Random Dozen

Thinks I thunk about LOST tonight: 1. Claire: REALLY? You are 8 months pregnant and going to willingly...VOLUNTARILY get in a cab with a person that was holding a gun on you about 10 minutes ago. REALLY? 2. I've seen the guy who cut off Kate's handcuffs before. Was he one of the original others? Or is he just a character actor from another series? I think they don't do that kind of thing on this show and he's ba-ack...but from where? 3. Ethan looks just as creepy. He is one skeevy guy. 4. Sawyer cries pretty. Real pretty. 5. Do you really think the cops would've left the hospital room without checking around for Kate. And I didn't catch Kate's alias (Joan something?). That name is sure to have some kind of hidden meaning. 6. Miles is kind of growing on me. Like a fungus. 7. So if Sayid and Claire have been 'claimed' by the darkside, does that mean that Rousseau was claimed by them earlier? Did Claire get the waterboard treatment as
