Simon Actually Smiled

Got this fun one from my dad. Thanks, Dad!

Politics Are Oh So Serious

OK, so I swiped this bit of hilarity from Nashbabe, but it made me laugh out loud so I just had to share it.

Busy Being Boring and Other Random Thoughts

• If boring and busy can be juxtaposed, then that's where we're at. Seems like the next thing is upon us before we finish the last, but what is there to show for it? Just life, I guess. Not exactly the type of rest Jesus promises (come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest) - must be my clue to go to Him and not to my calendar as much.

• I just can't believe the summer is almost over and my baby will be going to kindergarten. Tears well up in me just thinking about it. I think it will bother me more than it will her.

• I went to another church this am because Kiddo was part of a VBS there this past week and the kids were the service today. It's really strange to be somewhere other than our own church. It was more "churchy" than what I'm used to, and I was reminded what it feels like to be a visitor. I hope it makes me more willing to interact with those who come to visit Hope.

• I'm fighting a sinus infection or something as equally annoying right now and I'd forgotten how miserable it feels to be sick. I thank God that I don't feel this way more often. If I avoid you for the next couple of days, it's for your own protection!

• We had the privilege of going to Chuck E Cheese's two consecutive nights this week. Yippee. I learned to premedicate. Hooray for ibuprofen.

• I joined a gym this week, too. I'd been to the Dr and she said the words I knew to be true but hadn't had a third party say to me out loud - I was overweight. Sigh. Hopefully this will be the motivation I've lacked for so long to get serious and be consistent. Only time will tell I guess. Feel free to ask me if I've gone, though please wait a day or two for the copious amounts of mucus in my head to go away.

• I love my husband.

There. I've blogged and have bought myself another 6 weeks of silence unless something utterly profound overtakes me. Anybody else want to take a turn? I like reading about what my friends are up to, however mundane.
