Desperate Times Call For Mashed Potatoes

I am a victim of my own optimism. I like to call it Disney World Disease.It's not that I am a day-in-day-out optimist. Oh no, in general, I am a pretty negative person. "Wow, Self, that just hurts. " "You know it's true.""Yeah, so?"Um, moving on. But there are some scenarios in which the disease rears its head. The symptoms consist of me convincing myself that ...

Eternal Questions and Portrait of a Shoe

2008-07-23T15:15:00Z

There are so many questions I want to ask God one day when I get to Heaven, and I realize I am assuming a lot about God's grace in making that statement, but still. So anyway, when I'm standing there at the Pearly Gates having a one-on-one with my Father I will hopefully have the opportunity to ask him these questions:

1. Why are little children allowed to ...

Not Dead, Just Dog Tired

Hell-oo! Is anyone in there???? I think I hear an echo.

I'm pretty sure that my Mom is the only person on the whole internet who still checks my blog on a daily basis. No doubt the only 2 other people who have ever even read it have given up- having been slowly starved to death by my lack of updates.

So, to the three of you, I am ...

the dog days of summer

2008-06-17T22:03:00Z

SOOOOO, if a picture is worth a thousand words, than this picture is a blog entry, all on its own.

I do think this accurately depicts the older dog's feelings and general intent about younger dog.

In time, she will be happy about the new addition... but for now....it's DRACULA DOG!!!!

Puppy Pickin'

2008-06-15T18:16:00Z

Today was the big day. We went to Rowlett, Texas to pick up our puppy. We only had 2 females to choose from, thankfully, because they were all so cute (males included) that we had a hard time even with that. We wanted them ALL.Here is Gracie. She will be 7 weeks old in two days. She is sweet and has that wonderful distended puppy tummy and ...

This week was Football Skills Camp. It was run by the coaches of the highly nationally successful high school football team here in our hometown. Did I mention that football is SERIOUS bid-ness here in Texas? Whoa doggie. They ain't messin' around. EVERY single SUV within a 40 mile radius sports a Dragon sticker like this on it:I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. And, yes, ...

Poor James Taylor, Nobody Likes His Song

We went to our first church service (in our new town, that is) last Sunday. I've loved the church ever since we moved here. When I drive down the main drag, it looks like the steeple is hovering right over our house...it's been kind of my landmark for locating our house. Here's a side view:So we tried it. My first taste of Texas church. ...

Dog Bites Self?

2008-06-06T03:21:00Z

Oh wow. This is why I love animals. The sheer volume of humor they provide on a consistent basis. Watch this clip - at around 1:10 there is a dog who has a bone and is just certain that his own leg wants to take it from him. ...
