Been Facebooking...

Hey, everybody. I've been using Facebook a lot more than Pleo lately. I'm still getting on here regularly and visiting your blogs, just not posting anything myself. I'll try to post something soon. Hope everybody's doing OK!

    Lisa sent me one of these last year, and i think they are so funny! I figured Tyson was a good dancer, but the real suprise was Kevin. He MUST be a fan of dancing w/ the stars w/ moves like that!!

  • mommyx3
    She is right! Warren Sapp has nothing on Kevin. LOL! That was so funny. I had to finally cut it off. Emma is like "again..again"

    yeah, I agree with you. The reason, (in my opinion), that Christians are harder on homosexuality than other sins is that they don't personally know what it's like to be tempted in that way...therefore they may not have as much sympathy for the sinner. On another note, 1 Cor. 6 seems to indicate that sexual sins are in a different category that all other sins. Now, of course, ALL sin does the job of separating us from God. But 1 Cor. 6 teaches that sexual sins sin against the Temple of the Holy Spirit, whereas all other sins are outside the body. Yet, (again, in my opinion, because of judging people by what temptations they have experienced) occasionally Christians will be harder on homosexuals than people who have premarital sex...even though both would fall into the category of sinning against the Temple of the Holy Spirit. It would be nice to see a little more consistancy given to sexual sins. Thanks for your comments!!!

    And here's something for you to chew on...Protecting the purity of the Temple was the only time Jesus ever got physically violent. I think the message is that we are to protect the purity of our bodies by any means necessary...even by using violence.

    I have a show on saturday afternoon that will be 2-3 hours of my day, but other than that I think we are free. Young Ladies class is at our house friday night if you would like to come. It is at 7, and you can bring Tyson.

    The only thing special that I do is do a "good" cleaning every other week. I do a room each day including dusting/vacuuming, etc... If I can start some of it on Sunday while Fred's home it makes it easier on me. I make a list each day of things to do and get as many done while she's awake and try to finish up the rest when she naps. :-)
    by littlebit at 11/12/08 9:10AM
  • littlebit
    On the "off" weeks, I still vacuum, wipe down the bathroom sinks, clean the toilet, etc... but I don't dust and sweep the floor and mop.

    Your boys look so happy. Almost like they don't have a care in the world. That's a sign of a good home. :)

I've been tagged...

So, here are 8 things about me that you may not know:

1 - I am quiet/shy. That is often mistaken for snobbishness. :(

2 - My closets stay organized, even if my house is a mess. I know, that's weird, but I HATE stuffing stuff into closets to get it out of the way.

3 - I like doing laundry, but I don't like putting it away. I can wash, dry and fold all day long, but it usually doesn't get put away right away.

4 - When I do put the laundry away, I usually end up re-organizing the drawers and it takes WAY longer than it should.

5 - I LOVE playing games...board games, cards, you name it!

6 - I have made every birthday cake for all of my kids' birthdays. It's fun, and they really appreciate it.

7 - I'm addicted to couponing and finding deals. I've gotten so much stuff free or insanely cheap that my husband asks me how much they paid me whenever I come home from the store.

8 - I have a hard time making friends. It very hard for me to put myself out there and get to know other ladies.

Well, there it is. I will tag 8 of you in your comments so I can learn about you, too!

    Hey, I saw that you requested baby food coupons..haven't gotten any of them lately, but I still get diaper coupons sent to me. Do you need those??
    by mommyx3 at 09/25/08 12:28PM
  • angiebrewer
    I need to know how you save so much money when shopping - is it just coupons?
    by angiebrewer at 09/25/08 1:27PM
  • debsherbs
    I am like you with closets & dressers are organized. It drives me up a tree when my sock drawer gets disorganized! I've always been a perfectionist then the back got bad, the most horrible thing is loving to clean & organizing your house and physically you can't! Pleo is great for you, at least here you have a lot of supportive friends!
    by debsherbs at 09/26/08 8:49AM
  • sweetpeas
    I'm with you on several of those. I love finding the deals, especially. Although, lately I'm very apathethic about shopping. Maybe after the little one gets here I'll get back into it. (Or after the move. who knows?)

    The organizing thing sounds like me and like OCD-ishness. :) LOL!! :D Not that that's an issue I love to be OCD for the most part! ;)

  • whitestripes
    I had a pampers coupon to give you this weekend that I totally forgot about. do you want it? did you make it to kmart Sunday? I did, but wish I would have gone on Saturday, b/c I could have got some better deals I think. Can't complain though.
    by whitestripes at 10/06/08 9:14PM
  • create_a_way
    yeah, you totally changed my life...for the BETTER!!! It's too long to write. Are you coming to our 10 year reunion this year? If so, i can tell you then.
    by create_a_way at 10/07/08 4:33PM
  • whitestripes
    let me double check w/ Loren about it. he told the kids they could come over on the 18th to play volleyball. i know he is just hoping they have all forgotten about it, b/c he would rather hang out w/ you guys. I will try to find out if anyone was planning on coming.
    by whitestripes at 10/07/08 4:44PM
  • create_a_way
    give me some time--the next month is crazy for me until after the 1st. I do want to explain to you what you did for me, before I die! :) God used you in a way that you probably don't even know, and I have never been the same.

    Hey good to hear from you. If I'm not mistaken it looks like you have 3 boys? We are having a blast with our two. The funny thing is my wife comes from a family of girls and wasn't sure what to do with a boy but now she isn't sure she would know what to do with a girl. It is good to see things are going well for ya'll.
    by patpenn at 10/22/08 10:49AM

    yes, he had a blast!! wish we could have seen you guys. nolan even showed some independence by wanting to go to the doors by himself while we stood out at the road.
