Peeps & Kiddies

in me,meme

It’s time for a little bloggy fun! Well, fun for me anyway. I got a fun little gift from my bloggy friend, Jubilee over at Notes of Jubilee! I’ve known her for awhile (did we meet during oh! ho! ho! ?) Anyway, I’m her Peep O’ The Week! I didn’t even do anything except leave her a little ol’ comment on a previous post! And I even get to wear this fun button so everyone knows I’m her peep!

While we’re sharin’ the love, I think I’ve been tagged for a few hundred memes that I haven’t even remotely done. *blushing* So, I got tagged for one today by Annie (*heart*) and decided it needed to be done! Here’s the rules: write 7 random things about your kids, then tag some other people. Easy enough? Here goes…

1. Lydia goes from asleep to awake in about .000001 seconds. I know she’s awake because she yells, “MOOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!” the second her eyes open in the morning. (For the record, I go from asleep to awake in about 20 minutes.)

2. My little pirate already knows how to dance a jig. He performs nightly, just as I’m going to sleep.

3. Lydia loves to say “cool” and “ohMYgoodness”. Wonder who she got that from?

4. The pirate apparently has good ears. Every time he hears about any food (peanut M&Ms, pound cake, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob) he wants it. Right away.

5. Lydia loves to cook. She uses a cookbook, wears an apron, her chef hat and a winter mitten that doubles as an oven mitt.

6. Lydia loves to eat her vitamins. She calls them “bidamims”.

7. This morning, Lydia got in the bed with me, pulled the covers off my tummy and said, “Did the baby come out yet?”

And because I haven’t tagged anyone in awhile, I’m going to do it. You know share the linky love. So, would Val, Leigh, Deanne & Mr. Best Investments be so kind as to give us some random things about your kids? I’d love to know!

Five @Five

in me,meme,random

I don’t know what that title means. I think it used to be on Channel 5 News. (Like the 5 top news stories at 5pm…anyone? Did I dream this?) Anyway, the point is Chel tagged me for a meme that I’ve actually NEVER done! FUN.

Basically, it’s just 5 answers for each question. (But there are 7 questions, so that doesn’t really fit, now does it?)

What I was doing 10 years ago in 1998
1. planning my wedding!
2. in college
3. driving my light blue Honda Civic
4. walking to the computer lab to check my email (imagine that!)
5. living in a dorm room by myself (heaven!)

My to-do list today
1. make dinner
2. catch up on blogs
3. laundry (i’ve decided that laundry is a picture of God. It’s never ending. He’s never ending. It’s the first and last. The Alpha and Omega. It’s here always and forever. It will never leave me or desert me. Good analogy, right?)
4. clean the dryer vent (hey, it’s on the list!)
5. come up with a million dollar online sahm job opportunity to do with my sisterchicks (any ideas?)

Snacks I enjoy
1. Girl Scout Cookies!
2. left over easter eggs (I know, weird.)
3. cherries (sounds so good! when are they in season?)
4. my few Reese’s eggs I haven’t eaten yet
5. I don’t know, everything I think of is making me kinda queasy…

Things I’d do if I were a Billionaire
1. Pay off mortgages &/or buy homes for us and our families
2. Give to our missionary & church planting friends
3. Invest/save for Lydia and baby#2.
4. Maybe some cars?
5. Tithe.

Bad Habits
1. getting lost online
2. getting lost in anything except housework
3. thinking too much
4. rolling my eyes
5. buying exercise videos and pretending that I’m going to do them everyday.

Places I’ve Lived
1. Government Assisted Apartment
2. Aforementioned Dorm Room
3. Mobile Home
4. Homeless (not a place, a state of being…we just had a truck and a trailer and traveled)
5. Lots of basements & extra rooms
(do we sound needy or what?!)

Five Jobs I’ve Had
1. Roadside Clown (for real.)
2. Hallmark Card Stocker (yup.)
3. Census Taker (i loved this job!)
4. Bridal Shoe Salon Employee (did you know that even existed?)
5. Children’s Pastor (twice, even!)

People I tag to play along
1. I
2. hate
3. tagging
4. people.
5. How ’bout you?

Frankly, My Dear…

by oh amanda on March 16, 2008

in me,meme,movies

Staci and Beck are doing something fun this weekend on their blogs. I’m in need of a little game. Ready to play?

Everyone loves movies and one thing we love from them are the great one liners! Let’s have some fun with them.

Here are the rules:

1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling or IMDb-ing. That’s cheating and that’s no fun.

Ready? In random order, my quotes:

1. “Pop. Six. Squish. Unh-uh. Cicero. Lipschitz.” Chicago Annie

2. “Geology is the study of pressure and time. Thats all it takes really… pressure, and time… that and a big *&@% poster.” Shawshank Redemption Dawn

3. “I’m packing your extra pair of shoes, and your angry eyes just in case.” Toy Story 2 Milk in the Closet

4. “There comes a point when any reasonable man will swallow his pride and admit he made a mistake. The truth is… I was never a reasonable man.” Big Fish Annie

5. “It. Is. Time. Ooooooh.” Heart and Souls Elizabeth (a big kiss for you!)

6. “Alice, are you blind? Don’t you see the family resemblance? That’s my brother.” Remember the Titans Milk in the Closet

7. “For twenty-three years I’ve been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now… well, being a Christian woman, I can’t say it!” Wizard of Oz Deanne

8. “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Princess Bride Milk in the Closet

9. “I use antlers in all of my decorating!” Beauty and the Beast Annie

10. “A magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement, a sensual ravishment. It will be: Spectacular Spectacular.” Moulin Rouge Annie

Start your guesses!

***updated: Man, you guys are GOOD at this! If you do this one at your blog, leave a comment so we can all play, too!***

The Stuff Random Dreams Are Made Of

January 25, 2008 me

I took a blogging break yesterday. I just couldn’t think of anything to post. And I was just tired. I didn’t even visit any blogs (well, maybe one or two). I just didn’t feel like blogging. *gasp* Anyway, I’ve been tagged about 475 times in the last week and because I’m still in a blogfog, [...]
