Snap-Shots

I added a new feature to our blog today. Jennifer sent me an email with some links to spice up my blog. I have added them to my favorite sites list so that you can benefit from them as well. I believe the helps are for any blog, not just blogger.com.

So, I added Snap-shots, which is really neat. If you notice when you place your mouse on a link it should pop up with a display. It is super easy to put on your blog and absolutely free. If you would like to add it to your blog, there is an icon for it at the bottom of our blog. You can click on the icon and it will take you there.

Happy Blogging. Am I addicted or what.

House Update

I got a call today. A realtor wants to show our house Wednesday at lunch time. This really has put a smile on our faces. Some of ya'll might be thinking, so what it is just a show. You have no idea what it is like selling a house in this market. You just get excited that people are actually coming to look at it. Nobody has been to see it in about a month. I am so tired of keeping the house cleaned up every single day.

I am still open to any tips on selling a house.

Firsts.........



So.. you might be thinking this is Zoe's first bath. This is actually Josh's first bath giving. It was a cold one too. I watched Josh give Bogie and Zoe baths after work today. Zoe has really grown up. She has sooo much hair!!

Need New Job

Unfortunately, I am going to have to start looking for a new job. My company is going to lay me off in December. If anybody has any leads to something temporary or full-time I would be greatly appreciative.

Walking on Water?


Ok, so you've all probably seen this bumper sticker right? Or at least something similar. Shana and I were driving home tonight and I saw this one. Now I realize I'm being a little over analytical (I really don't have any objections to this), but I realized something. If you or I could be perfect it doesn't necessarily mean we could walk on water. Walking on water didn't make Jesus perfect. It wouldn't make you or I perfect either. Sinlessness made him perfect. Walking on water made (or proved) Jesus was extraordinary. He was more than perfect. He was supernatural.

Toliet Paper Wedding Dresses


So I know that I post some really crazy stuff at times, but seriously there is some crazy stuff out there. My mom sends me the bulk of it. Today my mom sent me an email with pictures of the winners from a handmade Wedding Dress contest, out of toliet paper! I know how crazy. I am only posting the winner. Can you believe that this is made out of toliet paper? I can't.

This leads me to ask, what have ya'll done with your wedding dresses? Do you have plans for your wedding dress? Mine is in my guest room closet, still in its garmet bag. I am kind of sad that my mom spent all that money for me to wear it one time. I wish that I could wear it again, but not literally (it you get what I mean). I remember the first year I was married I would get it out and try it on a few times just for fun. I really love my dress. I think the dress actually fits still too. Maybe that is what I will do this weekend, try on my wedding dress. My ceremonial wedding pictures turned out horrible, so I think maybe deep down I haven't done anything because I dream of having pictures done again in my dress. That would be a great surpise (Josh if you are reading this). Get a photographer, my wedding dress, the tux Josh wore at our wedding, and take some new pictures. Anyways, I want to know ya'lls stories about your wedding dress please. Where is it now or what did you do with it, do you have plans for it?

After I posted this, a friend of mine (Ashley Jansen) went looking for this contest online and found out this is not the actual winner. This is the 2nd place winner. Here is the link to the site. http://www.cheap-chic-weddings.com/wedding-contest-2006.html THANK YOU ASHLEY!

Ponderisms

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take

Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
