Prayers

One of the funniest people I have ever met needs our prayers. I met her at a meetup one evening and have not laughed that hard in a looooong time. The two blogs she writes for are a scream (one is with a bunch of mommy bloggers and one is her own)... and her twits (from Twitter) are awesome.

Anissa is a young mother of three... and her youngest has been battling cancer (which is non-existent now) for the past year. They just finished up their last treatment. Anissa has been so strong and such an inspiration.

But on Tuesday of this week she had a massive stroke. She is in the hospital battling for her life. I would just like to request you send good thoughts, vibes, or prayers her way. She could use it. If you'd like to help out with gift cards or thru a paypal account, here is her Caring Bridge page... do NOT feel obligated... just putting it out there.

Thank you

And God Bless...

I've recently realized that all the men currently in my life are Veterans...

• Dad
• Carl
• Step-Dad
• Both Brothers-in-Law
• Father in Law

But there are two other people that are vets and I think it is awesome...

• Sister-in-Law
• Mother-in-Law

I don't know why it strikes me that way. There are TONS of women in the military, but in most pictures and tributes you see they are mostly men. The thought that these two women once toted guns and saluted their superiors is fascinating.

J-man asked me last night if I ever thought of going in the military. I told him "Nope. I was always too scared of fighting in a war." And that is the truth. The people in our military are the bravest people in the world.

I thank all of our Vets - past and present. You are my hero.

The more I see her

Taylor Swift is so flippen cute! She was the host and entertainment for Saturday Night Live this week and was great! Here are a couple of clips...

First she did a take off from Twilight. If you don't laugh when she lights the bunson burner... I just don't know what to say. And instead of a werewolf... OMG



Want to see her trying to scare some kids straight? When she is in the first guy's face... I laughed soooo hard! Then she tries her best not to laugh...



I saw her when she was in a CSI episode... this girl is going places. She can act and sing. Keep your eye on this one.

(If the clips get yanked off youtube, and you are interested in seeing these plus more, they are all posted on NBC's website)

Stoked

Last week sucked... big time.

At one point I told Carl that we needed something - anything - to go our way.

Well, one thing did.

I won our neighborhood chili cookoff.

Doesn't take much does it??? Maybe it is the beginning of things turning around... God I hope so.

In love

See this? This thing is awesome and I LOVE it.

We order pizza a couple of times a month. We fluctuate between this pizza company and Papa J's, but we like this one better. (Unless we go to a real pizza place, but I would rather have the door-to-door style).

The kids like this choice, too, because we can watch our order as it makes it way through the process. There have been many a day when we dance around the house saying "So-n-so (name of Dominos employee) has received our order" or "It's in the uuuuhhhh-ven! It's in the uuuuuhhhh-ven!"

Yes... this is a lame post.

But I get pizza for dinner! I ordered it at noon and it won't be delivered until 6... they accept future orders... and I get to track it, too!

Coversations at Pug Manor

Bug (clearing her throat): Man, I'm hittin' puberty hard!

Me: What? You're what?

Bug: Hittin' puberty hard! Don't you hear my throat gurgling?

Me: Honey, girl's voices don't really change like boy's do... I think you just have some sinus drainage.

Bug (with an EXTREMELY disappointed look on her face): Really? I'm gonna sound like this forever?

Me: Well, look on the bright side... your boobs are getting bigger!

Bug: MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
