Church Wars

My friend, Amy, just posted on her blog that she saw a sign in front of a church that read:
"No Torture".
She said "that is a VERY good policy for churches to adopt!" LOL!

So, that reminded me of a "fight" between 2 churches that Tim found online.
(BTW, if Tim could make money by finding funny things online... we'd be rich!)



We laughed SO HARD when we read this.
I want to live wherever these churches are.
(and I'd TOTALLY attend Presbyterian church, because they seem pretty sassy!)

WAAaaaah.

So, my "mommy-group" that I have been involved with for over a year (online...) switched formats... and for SOME cyber-reason unknown to me... I can't post a message, carry on a conversation, keep my journal (it helps me vent out the day...)... I'm SO bummed.

Usually when Tim works these looooooong weekends, I waste time 'chatting' with my cyber-peeps.

I can't do that this weekend.

NOT that I DON'T have anything else to do around this house (like nap)... Not like I don't have any REAL friends to call & chat with...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! (and dad)!!

My Darling Hannah turned TWO years old on Monday.
My Fabulous Father turned Two Plus Sixty on Monday!

Here is a little tribute to the birthday girl:
September 15, 2006:
And she hasn't stopped since....

Welcome to my world Baby Girl!

Let's go home, now.


Here are my Birthday-Celebrators over the years:
2006.
Sorry Hayley - you have to share now.

2007.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

2008
No, papa... Rocket is MY present...

(Hannah says, "Thanks dad. You didn't listen to mom today when she said 'Grab the dress I bought for Hannah's Birthday...' Instead, you pulled out an 18-month sized shirt for my 3T tummy... I know it is cute and precious, but wouldn't I have looked cuter in that blue dress?")

(crud. Now I have tears in my eyes & want another baby.)

Hannah's Dancing to the New Kids!

I love that my little girl is learning to love the NKOTB at an early age.

NOW:

BACK THEN:


REEEEEEALY Back then:


*They Still make my heart flutter*

I taped their performance on the "TODAY" show last week... (because some of us are now adults & have to be at work at 8:30).

ANYWAY, since she is WIIIIIIDE awake at 12:26am...I put the tape in... She is marching & twirling & just STARING at them dancing. Then she giggles & says "oooo yayayaya"

I still love me some new-kids! October 21, I am being treated & escorted to the NKOTB concert at the XCel Center by my darling friend, Becky.

Will it be strange if I pull out my NKOTB shirts from 1990? (yes, ha ha, I WILL have to sew them all together to cover vital parts of my body that have... um.... shall we just say "grown"... since 7th grade).

Actually - the ultimate horror of it all is... I think my mom "lost" all the NKOTB shirts over the years... Like... I probably told her to get rid of them, but I like to think that they were purposely disposed of by my evil mother (whom I love with all my heart). ACTUALLY - now that I think about how much my mom L-O-V-E-D the NKOTB... (she brought me to 4 concerts & allowed me to 'wallpaper' my room & ceiling with their posters...)... I BET SHE HAS THEM & WEARS THEM UNDER HER SCRUBS AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO raiding her closet.

I DID find my huge 3' x 3' cloth banner... maybe I'll make a skirt. (well, the FRONT of a skirt) LOL!!!!

10 Things...

Ten Things that Make Me Happy:
10. Having 2 empty sinks in the kitchen!
9. Having an empty dishwasher!!
8. The New Beverly Hills 90210 Show! (I'm still 14, thanks for asking.)
7. The fact that the RNC is in St. Paul. GO St. PAUL!
6. THE START OF THE NFL SEASON!!!!! GO VIKES!
5. Knowing that in 6 weeks - I'M GOING TO SEE THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!!!!! (Told you I'm still 14!)
4. The temperature right now is 61 degrees & I have the windows open & LOVE IT!
3. How freaky all these dumb protesters are... Really?! What are you attempting to prove?
2. How cute my little Hannah was tonight: She tried to crawl up on the couch with me, but couldn't & then ran out of the living room, went to the bathroom, got the stool, brought it to the couch, climbed up. *I WIN MOMMY! Now give me some popcorn.*
1. How precious Hayley is. "In two days, my eyes will be stronger & I won't need to wear the glasses we bought at WalMart last summer." (actual quote.)
Wait... Tied for #1:
#1 part Two: TIMMY made #s 10 & 9 happen for me today!!!
#1 part Three: The fact that Jay Leno said: If Sarah Palin becomes the VP, she might actually be the first Beauty Queen to achieve her life dream of World Peace!!! HeeHeee. Must Watch Miss Congeniality this week...

TEN THINGS THAT MAKE ME SAD:
10. The fact that I didn't get to have Mini-Donuts at the state fair, because I said "Tim, let's not spend money on anything we can get anytime"... Now, answer this... WHEN were you able to walk into SuperAmerica & get a dozen Tiny Tim Mini Donuts?!?!?
9. The fact that right after I said to Tim: Please, don't loose my "McCain08" button that I bought for Auntie Lois... he lost my McCain08 Button that I bought for Auntie Lois. (Sorry Lalo). THEN, when I asked him about it... he said "What button?" ARGH! Men.
8. My Hair. Seriously. I need a hair cut. BUT I had this crazy idea that I want to donate my cut hair to Locks of Love. But they need a minimum of 7 inches below the ponytail... which means I need to grow at least 4 more inches... which will take FOREVER.
7. That the RNC is in St. Paul! Can we PLEASE talk about something else on the news?!? Do we need Live reports every 30 seconds???
6. One of my residents from work passed away yesterday. I'm sad because my boss thinks things happen in "3"s, so she's naming the next 2 to go! (well, to her defense, there is one resident that was told he wouldn't live through the weekend... & he did.)
5. Hayley doesn't leave her glasses on. I don't know if they work. She says she can't see through them.
4. Hmmmm. I'm a pretty happy person. This list is hard for me!
3. The fact that John McCain meant to choose ME to be his running mate, but forgot my last name. (Come on... HOW MUCH FUN would this country have if I was 2nd in command?!?!)
2. Al Franken commercials. Especially the one that is SO SHOCKING that Norm Coleman would go fishing in ALASKA!!! OMG! My dad goes fishing in CANADA every-year. That's a whole different COUNTRY!! (Mr. Franken... you're stretching a little far to make your opponent look bad...)
1. Our Swimming Pool closed yesterday for the season. & I only went swimming 3 or 4 times this summer!!!

Next Time I'm doing a "5-Sad-Things" list, because it will be easier!
