Ethiopian Proverb

“When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.”

Happy Day

Just add legs, arms and feet!

I'm still enjoying the Rosie Flo coloring book I got for Easter.


Meet...the bridal party.


Three cheers for bushy eyebrows!

Get On the OO! Bus

*I love this city*

Part Alarming, Part Hilarious

Death Cigarettes

Erik brought these back from his trip to Japan.



Because honesty really is the best policy.

We spent the weekend in Arizona.
Dominoes, card games, sunbathing, garage-sale-ing, seafood enchiladas, you name it.
Best of all- people I love and enjoy so much.

Ok. I'm out of here. Going to spend the weekend where the sun really shines. I'll see you all on Monday!
Ciao

Greenlake Library

I will never, ever stop preaching about the coolness of the library. Next time you are there go stand amongst all those books and wrap your mind around all the information that is surrounding you. (Ya, ya, ya- you can do that with Google too- but you don't get that really great paper smell.)

Speaking of...If you are a computer geek like me you may find this video interesting.

NoooOooOOOooOOOOoooooOO!!!

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corithians 15

I'm back! (Healthy and with a vengeance- I've willed to spring-clean our entire house in one Saturday afternoon.) Wish me luck.

But before I go...I want to tell you about the Scribble Project.

Here you will find printable templates you can scribble your own uniqueness all over. Have fun- I'll see you when the house is clean!

I'm exhausted. I left work early today because I'm feeling so crummy. Have you ever been so sick you felt like you were in some alternate reality or something? After zoning in and out a million times I decided it would be more productive to just go to sleep.
I crashed.
I've been asleep on the couch for the last 5 hours, so when I heard Brian Williams say "Residents of Stillwater, Oklahoma..." and I was sure it was just some sort of weird dream. But when I rewound the dvr I learned there are wildfires burning through a great portion of central Oklahoma this evening.
A part of my heart is still in Stillwater and I just want you to know I've been praying for you all and will continue to do so until these fires subside.

When I was in middle school I put together a life plan.
Age 18-22: Go to college
Age 20: Get married
Age 22: Have kiddos
So far I've been a little behind. (Thank the Lord because I was not ready to be married when I was 20. and kiddos?? I'm a little worried I may never be ready.)
I had this vision of myself in a purple business suit and a briefcase living in an early 90's decorated house.

I'm not exactly dissapointed that whole scenario didn't work out (I'm a little sad about not carrying a briefcase) but I am suprised at how far off I was in predicting my "self of the future."

Some days I drive to work with my sunglasses on and the radio up and I get there five minutes early and my hair still looks the way it was when I left the house.

Some days I am carrying my shoes out to the car because I'm that late and I'm curling my eyelashes at a red light and then I get stuck behind a school bus. Not to mention my pants are 2 sizes too small.
I promise I'm not going to break into a version of "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman."
but my house is a mess. I'm 20 pounds overweight. And sometimes I think I'm still a lot like that JNCO-wearing, MASH-playing, Backstreet Boy-loving tweener I was when I made that plan.
And that's ok.

Right?
