Charitable Opportunity!

I received this notice from a friend that lives one town over…

“Hey, my neighbors (family of my young son’s on-again-off-again “girlfriend”) just got robbed. The creep took their computer (computer has been replaced by my husband), their camera, all the Christmas presents. They have three kids: a four-year-old boy, a second-grade girl (~6), and a teen-aged girl (~15). If anyone wants to donate anything to help this family, please contact me!! Anything at all is appreciated and no kids should be without at the holidays.”

This could be a chance to make a real difference in someone’s life. If you want to help please contact me and I will get the address for where to send any and all items you want to send.

Where the Wild Things Are

Went to see Where the Wild Things Are and I must give an honest review. The puppetry, by Jim Henson, was per usual, AWESOME, computer graphics were so good I couldn't see the difference between the CG and the actual live action puppetry, that's pretty good in my book. The character Max was presented fantastically by the actor. Had a great time with Addie and Christopher watching this movie. Now for the bad news, I didn't like it. I was greatly disappointed. The plot line was very odd and disjointed. There were two curse words, which greatly bothered me. They were simply unnecessary. I was never transported back to a childlike feeling during the movie. I began to, while Max was leaving this world to go to where the wild things are, but once he arrived and started to interact with them, it just didn't do it for me. Addie liked it, Christopher was entertained, but it really lacked some sort of ability to carry the viewer along for the ride. I felt like I was watching this happen not going thru it myself. I do hope that everyone else likes it and enjoys seeing it and I would love to know what you all thought about it....

More than just cake

My friend is getting married this October and her wedding party is today. I wrote this on a recipe card in place of giving her a regular recipe to try.

More than just cake...
Serves: 2
Cooking Time : A Lifetime
Preheat oven to: Sizzle

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21
Continue to pursue each other for life.
Marriage is 100/100 not 50/50, give 100% of yourself and you'll get 100% in return.
Hug for at least 1 full minute everyday whether you feel like it or not.
Patience Patience Patience Patience Patience Patience Patience.
On Fights: Attack the issue not each other.
Marriage is not mindreading, ask what he/she wants and believe what he/she says.
Take time for yourself.
Find the blessings in your differences.
Say I'm sorry often & mean it.
Don't let life get in the way.
Brag on him, don't nag on him.
Never badmouth your spouse.
Don't ask single friends marriage advice.
Really learn to listen.
Sometimes the best & wisest move is to pull the toilet seat down & not say another word.
Love is not enough, it takes work, lots and lots of work.

Along with this she is getting measuring cup, and a hand knit dishcloth. Hope she likes it...

New Mantra

The woman who starts the race is NOT the same woman who finishes the race.

I want to finish the race. I want to be changed, transformed. I am ready to arrive.

ASL Bellydance Fusion?

I am absolutely amazed at this video I just found!



To think, fusing American Sign Language and Bellydance. This is incredible to me. Both of my worlds fused together, now if only she could knit and take care of a child at the same time I would be blown away! hahahahahaha!
