Tuesday Tunes 51: Heaven is the Face

I cannot believe this song. It is so sad and powerful. I just love it. I have not heard the rest of Steven Curtis Chapman's album, but I am sure it is great. I really think that it will show the most depth because of the loss of his child. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!!

Manic Monday: My Head is Spinning....

I have had a very busy weekend. Sang karaoke - Kelly Clarkson "Since U been gone"; babysat; Promiseland; Flooded basement; Spun out; Baby dedication; Chinese food....Bed. I am tired and ready for a nap just reading this list. No wonder why I am feeling quite lazy this morning. Laundry will need to be started ASAP.

So, for ease of mind, I have decided to go with a Manic Monday, again. Tonight I am leading my Bible study group discussion time. So, if you think about it, you could pray for me. I will need it about 6:45-8:30 or so. Try and remember little ol' me!! Thanks!


If you could only have one section of the bookstore to visit, which section would it be?
CLASSICS - hello!! I love me a good classic novel. I read them for fun (which hubby thinks is hilariously funny). It is the English major in me!

If you could only subscribe to one publication for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hmmm...tough one, but I would have to say either "Time" because of its historical content or "Reader's Digest" for the wonderful stories, jokes and funny happenings.

What activity always makes you lose track of time?
Other than the computer?? Well, anything that I love to do: knitting, reading, writing, singing, talking with friends...It doesn't matter. On a side note, I never really lose track of time. I love being on time for everything. I wear a watch and I am always checking the time.

Manic Monday: Remember Watching Good TV???

Watched a bit of the Golden Globes last night. Couldn't believe that House, The Office and Dexter were all over looked. (Well, I could, but still...They are my favs!) My sister and I had fun commenting on some of the gowns that the women wore....Especially Jennifer Aniston's HUGE slit!! Not attractive and ALMOST obscene. Avert your eyes, people. Some of the classier dresses were Jennifer Garner and Sandra Bullock's (Even though you could see through Sandra's a bit, it was still GORGEOUS!!)

Other than that, we got to talking about GOOD comedies. Remember?? There used to be ones that were on for 10+ years. They had staying power. They were SMART and FUNNY. They were shows that you could watch as a family. You know what I mean: "The Cosby Show", "Full House", "Family Matters", "Cheers", "Home Improvement", "Mad About You", "Murphy Brown"....I could go on. I guess I just miss those days when you could turn on the TV, watch a show as a family and learn something together. That doesn't happen anymore....

Anyway, I guess I just thought it was amazing when I looked at today's Manic Monday and the first question was about your favorite sitcom. So without furthur ado...


Growing up, what was your favorite sitcom?
I would have to say "The Cosby Show" was the BEST show growing up. I loved it. Cliff and Clare were like second parents. You could learn from the kids' mistakes. We would all sit down and watch TV together. Good, quality TV!!


What's your idea of a romantic date?
Well, a nice trip for supper to the mountains. Perhaps a dip in the Banff Hot Springs. That would be lovely.

What are you most afraid to lose?
My children and my husband would be right up there.

100 Years of Guiding!!

We are celebrating our 100th Anniversary this year of Girl Guides. It is a special time and a wonderful time to be in Girl Guides. This summer my Mom and I are taking 10 girls on a camping trip to Guelph, Ontario. We will be tenting, laughing, and having a wonderful time. Can't wait. Here's a promo video of the camp, whose theme this year is 100 years of Guiding.
