I do not have the swine flu. I just sneeze. All the time. (You do know I am showcasing the most sanitary way to sneeze and cough, don’t you?)
Yes. I am still in the Christmas spirit. In fact, I bought two sets of ornaments at IKEA this weekend.
I have not mailed our shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. But I did find a cute shirt at Target to go in the girl’s box. It came with matching leggings. For $4.
Asa. Still crawling.
I changed my blog layout. I’m not finished with it yet. But I think I like it. It’s just calmer. And softer.
I sat on the front row at church this week. Everyone should do that at least once. It was fun.
I am loving my freezer full of food. Tonight we are having Beef Stroganoff and my stomach has been growling all day because the aroma emanating from the crockpot is heavenly.
I’m guest posting at Make and Takes today. It is very yummy.
Daddy goes to the oncologist tomorrow. This doctor will give him results from his BONE MARROW BIOPSY. Pray.
Disney Moms Panel. I made it to round 3. I had a phone interview. I bombed it. Horribly. Tragically. Awkwardly. And now I am waiting for my you-made-it OR you-are-the-biggest-loser phone call tomorrow. I am ridiculously nervous.
And that, folks, is why you pay me the big bucks. See you tomorrow for Top Ten {Tuesday} where I will be showcasing my NEW FAVORITE ADVENT CALENDARS FOR 2009!!!
Yes, you suckered me in with the sneeze post. Bless you! 🙂
Hopefully your phone interview wasn’t as bad as you think.

PRAYING FOR TOMORROW!!!!

Love the sneeze and proper methods exhibited. Bless you! Did you know you can’t sneeze and keep your eyes open?
And I’m sure you did a great job with your interview. And I can smell the beef stroganoff from here! Yuuuuummmm!

first of all I felt a great peace when praying for your dad. KEEP US UPDATED. I SAID THIS BEFORE HE ALWAYS LAYS HEAVY ON MY HEART AND SO DOES VALS BROTHER…
and we sit in the front all the time at church for 3 yrs now and let me tell you I GET A LOT MORE OUT OF CHURCH SINCE WE STARTED DOING THAT. MIGHT BE A MIND THING, I DON’T KNOW, BUT IT MAKES YOU PAY ATTENTION MORE!
OH AND FOR THE SNEEZE……. GOD BLESS YOU:)
Ornaments at IKEA? I’m thinking road trip…
I love having a freezer full of food, too, but I am lazy. I go the Super Suppers route.
We will be making your turkeys soon and very soon!
I am praying for your dad!
Fingers crossed, prayers being said, and Pixie Dust floating to you for the Moms Panel!

1. You crack me up with the sneeze thing – totally suckered me into clicking.
2. Like the new layout. Whenever I get serous about this blog thing, I’m gonna get you to help me it – please?
3. I’m sure your interview was not as bad as you think.
4. Praying for your daddy.
i like the new layout, and the sad thing is, i didn’t notice it until you mentioned it, but now that you mention it, it is nice.

OK – you are so cute when you sneeze! I love the new layout – it is calming – but it needs a little something more… a nice, calming, big oh amanda at the top somewhere. I’m heading to Ikea next week – thanks for reminding me about their ornaments. I’ll plan for some wiggle room in my budget. And drop off for the Christmas child boxes doesn’t start around here until next week – so you still have time.
Praying for your daddy…!
I like your new layout. It’s soft and fabric-like. I think it suits you.

Loving the new blog layout, and looking forward to your advent calendar post. I still have your one from last year in my bookmarks somewhere 🙂

Amanda,
THANK YOU–got the package!!
I hope your Dad gets some good news tomorrow!
Hey–did you check the zip-code locator on the Samaritan’s Purse Web site? National Collection Week isn’t until next week, and I bet there is a drop-off site close to your house so you don’t have to mail your boxes. :o) There are lots and lots of collection points around the metro area.
Really like the new layout. Anxiously awaiting the Disney report!!
i was over here earlier and meant to say that I LOVE your layout…
Praying for your daddy!
.-= misty´s last blog ..Wii Paranoia… =-.
I like the new “soft” look! Although it’s leaning toward pink and not purple via my monitor. I need my Amanda purple fix!
Thanks for the updates…my child just started wailing in her crib so perhaps I should go check on her!
.-= Vanderbilt Wife´s last blog ..Show Us Your Life: Thanksgiving Traditions =-.
I like the new look of your blog and good luck on the Disney Mom’s Panel.

Well, it’s 11:25 p.m. our time girl….are you sleeping? Only 34 more minutes until THE BIG DAY!!!!!
Gosh, I hope you make it! I just want to be able to say, “…and this Moms Panel member, Amanda, lives ‘right down the street from me.'” Ha! Ha!
Just think…you could be in training, in Orlando, in Disney’s hallowed halls very soon…..
Get some sleep and let’s think good thoughts!!!!! Good luck Amanda!!!

LOVE the update… especially since I haven’t been by {ANY blogs} in a while. I am praying so hard for your daddy. Every. Day.
And I love the new layout. I feel a little de-stressed just gazing at it. Guess I’d better stick around & read a few more posts! 🙂
I had to click the pic too!
Speaking of Advent calendars: JennyOnTheSpot just did a recap of her Advent Calendar from last year. It’s gorgeous. You might wanna check it out!

Wow,Hello everyone,welcome to jk520w.blv,u,like it?
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
