Random
It's September 5 and I haven't started the normal "random" gmail draft that I add to...life has been BUSY, even right now, I should definitely not be typing these sentences. Anyway, I have a couple days to come up with some things. This is coming to mind because I had something come to mind. Phew.
My cousins asked me to join there Fantasy Football League. Something I've never done before. Fantasy anything that is...I agreed. I guess today starts the official scoring or whatever. Since the beginning, I have gotten random texts about trades they have sent me but today I have recieved MANY trades and texts and reminders. It's kind of stressful. An added stress, I simply do not need. It's kind of pointless but I'll stick with it for them. We have a huge deadline of stuff they need for church on Sunday - logo, webpages, brochures etc, plus ArtPrize and packing has been ridiculous.My hope is after Oct. 6 (end of ArtPrize), I get some down time before basketball starts up. I doubt it but I can hope, right?
The other day I went to blog and the below image is what I saw. I laughed out loud.
2.0. Wow! I have been using Xanga for 8.5 years and this is the 2.0 update. Too good. It is a pretty nice update and it'll take a bit to get used to since it has been the same for 8.5 years.
I followed this website this summer. Absolutely fascinating. Call me sick but I genuinely enjoy following people. I like reality TV (Survivor, Bachelorette, Bachelor, Amazing Race) and reality things like this. Why? People fascinate me. The things they do under different circumstances, what we feel, why we feel them etc. It's fascinating and screwed up, all the same. This dating thing was, just that, fascinating and screwed up. And kind of sad. A world without God usually is.
A coworker sent me this video and I couldn't help but laugh. The combination of the song and the music video. I found myself thinking, is this for real? Then he just showed me this. 40 million views in 2 days. Just sad that this is what the world encourages.
If there was one person I could have every recipe in her recipe book. Hands down it would be Mrs. Strayhorn.
I really enjoy listening to sermons while at work (and music, of course) but this about sermons - I like engaging my mind in other things. Sometimes work can get very repetitive, so engaging my mind to think about things is good (for me). Some of my favorite are Chris Weeks at Kent City Baptist (he actually spoke chapel in HS and I really enjoyed his speaking then...I actually saw him at the beach the other day and almost said hi but quickly reminded myself, dumby he doesn't know who you are - just finished James), Mark Driscoll at Mars Hills (um, not the Grand Rapids Rob Bell church - just started Esther - I am only through lesson 3 and I'm not sexist by any means but man, I like the responsibility that he puts on men to protect women/daughters. Also the way he's relating each of the sermons back to Jesus being better than...also in Jesus is a better Savior ans Jesus died a better death, he portrays Mordecai and Esther in a way I've never heard them portrayed. Honestly, some of the things he said kind of rubbed me the wrong way but I like that, I like being challenged ), Mark Cizauskas from First Baptist Church of Rochestor (he was our music Pastor at WCBC for many years and I always enjoyed when he spoke - he has such a passion for the Word - recently finished his series on David), John Piper's sermons and sometime I listen to our sermons (West Cannon Baptist Church) over again because they were that challenging.
Another email address: muddypuppies@----.com, I'm sorry but that just sounds dirty.
I like drinking ice cold water but with stipulation. I don't like ice in an open face cup, meaning when the ice could hit my teeth. My teeth are too sensitive for that. In a cup or water bottle (with a straw), now that does it.
Today is 9/11. I can't believe it has been 12 years.
This is friends picture from her wedding. Two words. Too far. (Click on the picture and make it bigger. You'll understand.)
Ok, I seemed to have come up with some things to fill this post in just a few days. I know you were all worried.

I WAS worried you wouldn't be able to come up with all your usual random wonderfulness.
One of the perks of the blog update is that I don't get redirected to that acoustic guitar website anymore! Woot!
I'm glad you listen to Pastor Chris's messages. Isn't he the best?! Niki and Luke love Mark Driscoll, too. I should listen to some of his stuff.
Agreed about the dog pic. Gross.
Sadie, I think you're the only one that reads anything on here but I still wouldn't want to disappoint you.
Oh, that's good to know. I don't know why that was happening.
I do enjoy his sermons and remember always appreciating him as a chapel speaker. Driscoll is very good and very passionate about Scripture. Be ready to be challenged - it's a good thing.
When I saw the picture, I was seriously disgusted. Not ok, ever in my book but in your wedding dress on your wedding day. Hm.
