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.)

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&

Stupid is as stupid does

Ok, so have you ever had one of those days where things are just messed up?  That was me today. I stayed up too late last night so it was hard to get up this morning.  Had to be at work for an 8:00 meeting and caught EVERY red light between my neighborhood and work.  No big deal, they weren't ready to start when I walked in (with my supervisor) at 8:05.  But, in order to get there even close to 8:00, I skipped making a stop at the gas station to fill up.  I did the math all the way to work - when did the light come on? How many miles had I gone since then?  After work, I planned to stop at the nearest gas station - but, you guessed it, I didn't make it.  Nothing like running out of gas in rush hour traffic! I sat there, embarrassed, trying not to look at the people glaring at me as they passed me - I was stopped just shy of a major intersection.  The Hubs was close by so he came to my rescue - but my car keeps the radio and lights running for 10 minutes after you turn it off un
