Tiptoe through the tulips

I wore the leopard print shoes to church on Sunday and got lots of compliments from all the women - but not from my feet! They're a little stiff (the shoes, not the women).  Didn't make it through kid's church with them on, but thankfully we had tables set up and the kids didn't notice me breaking the rules by kicking off my shoes underneath the table.  I don't think those 9 boys fully appreciated my glam anyway!

I am amazed at how my daughter is picking up my non-frufru habits without my intention.  Don't get me wrong, she is VERY girlie. But, she has to be persuaded to put on her tutu or tiara and then after about 10 minutes she lets me know that she is "done."

Here's Exhibit 'A' to illustrate how she feels about dressing up:
I know, baby, that's how I feel about wearing pantyhose too!
(Thank you for not judging me on the after-Christmas mess in the darkness behind her. . . )

    Is that the dress that she didn't want to take off when the evening was over? It is so cute! I was just talking about the curse of panty hose yesterday...don't remember the last time I actually wore any!
    Stay warm, guys...

I am a Promise!

I am a Promise! I am a possibility.   I am a Promise,   With a capital 'P'. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality!     And I am learning to hear God's voice. And I am trying to make the right choice. I am a promise to be anything He wants me to be! (My future scientist, artist, engineer and vet are courtesy of the Houston Children's Museum.)

Tea for two!

Once upon a time, two ladies prepared for tea.  The smallest of the two played the part of hostess and laid out her fine china. Many lovely delicacies were brought out with the tea. The two ladies were dressed in their finest jewels and had their hair adorned in the most becoming way. Their dainty pink purses hung across their dainty arms. They gathered young babies and fed them with great care.  The babes were cleaned, bathed and put to nap in the cozy beds nearby. The two ladies were having such a grand time that they decided to invite others to join them in their tea.   The gentlemen neighbors were promptly invited to tea, but alas, they had a prior engagement (helping small frogs jump across the road).  Upon returning to their tea, the ladies met an unfortunate circumstance! They were attacked by a flock of angry birds!  The prettiest little lady adamantly declared "there's no angry birds having tea!" When the two ladies were safely seated back at their tea table,

Winter Storm 2011

Well, I think we're going to make it. The threat of 5 inches of snow is now past - and we've not missed a single moment of electricity or heat. The biggest dilemma at our house is that the Xbox won't play right now.  Kid #1 continues to ask "What are we gonna do today?" and we finally answered with "Nothing!" I do need to introduce you to the newest members of the family. . . The two tetras have been around for several years and just got upgraded to a bigger tank. They have now been joined by 2 beautiful guppies and a molly.  None of them have been named yet, but I'm putting in my vote today: the black one should be 'Vader' (as in Darth), and I think the guppies should be Phineas and Ferb.  The tetras would have to be 'Peat' and 'Repeat' since you can't tell the difference between them.  What do you think?  (Which is funny that I ask, because a. you probably won't respond and b. they're not my fish to name) I&
