Marsha-ology

Posted in General Ramblings

Because I just need some light-heartedness (lighthearted-ness? lightheartedness?) around here, I thought it would be fun to do this note that I read on my little sister Bobo's Facebook profile. :)

Let others know a little more about yourself, re-post this as your name followed by "ology"

FOOD-OLOGY

What is your favorite salad dressing?
Homemade Ranch

What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?
Korea Garden-- YUMMY!

What food could you eat for 2 weeks straight and not get sick of it?
Asian (can't say just Korean because I do get rice-d out after a while).

What are your pizza toppings of choice?
Cheese, pepperoni, bacon, and veggies (no olives-- they just taste gross and salty!)

What do you like to put on your toast?
Butter and grape jelly, although I occasionally get wild and slap on some red plum jam.

TECHNOLOGY

How many televisions are in your house?
Oh man, this is embarrassing.  We have 4 tv's in the house and an itty-bitty one in the trunk of the van that I've been toting around for the past several months because I keep forgetting to give it to my friend Nancy (Nancy, do you still want the tv with the built-in VCR?)... but the other day I forgot that it ended up in the trunk again and I hit the breaks and heard a not-good breaking kind of sound back there.  Too chicken to check it out.

What color cell phone do you have?
Black

What does the first text message in your in box say and who sent it?
I have no idea. I think it's from my friend Linda and we were talking about getting together for lunch sometime this week- Vietnamese, hopefully.

Who was the last person to call you?
My daddy.

BIOLOGY

Are you right-handed or left-handed?
Right.

Have you ever had anything removed from your body?
No, but my sis Coco did have this tumor the size of a grapefruit removed once... and now I really want a full body scan to make sure there aren't any baseballs somewhere inside me.

What is the last heavy item you lifted?

My big fat wallet full of money.  (Oh, I kid. It was the boys' penny jar for our church penny drive-- they are hoping to beat the girls this year. They have been saving up since the VERY NIGHT they lost last year! LOL)

RANDOM-OLOGY

If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die?
Absolutely not!  But I think it's always a good idea to start each day asking yourself "Is this the day?" and live accordingly.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
I don't really like my name.  While there are some beautiful names out there (Abigail, Christine, Leah, Deborah, Adeline, Isabella, Hope, Grace, Ava...), I couldn't imagine any of them being ME.  So I guess I'll stick with what I have, thankyouverymuch.

Would you drink an entire bottle of hot sauce for $1000?
 Nope.  My luck, I'll get 3/4 of the way through and have a heart attack or something.  All that trouble and to not end up with the money-- that would really stink!

DUMB-OLOGY

How many pairs of flip flops do you own?
Believe it or not, only 1 measly rough-looking pair.  I had these fabulously comfortable gold-ish ones but the dumb dumb DUMB dogs chewed them up!

When is the last time you had a run in with the cops?
David got pulled over last week by a state trooper.  But I wouldn't say they were the cops.

Last person you talked to in person:
David- he was conveniently located next to me just a minute ago. :)

Favorite Month(s)?
April (spring weather and my birthday!)

CURRENT-OLOGY

Missing someone?
Absolutely!  Christian... man, that boy is always on my mind!  I cannot wait to all be together again one day.

Mood?
Kinda sad even though we had a very good day today-- A Woman Inspired Conference, smell of fresh cut grass, lessons with the boys (and we FINISHED them!), 2 cappuccino's and both of the bathrooms are completely clean.

What are you listening to?
KSBJ radio station- the song I Can Only Imagine

Watching?
My computer screen? duh!

Worrying about?

Nothing. :)

RANDOM-OLOGY

Last movie you saw

Prince Caspian with my boys.

Do you smile often?

YES!!!  Even when I'm sad or moody, I have lots to be happy about!  Speaking of smiling, if you saw this:  >D   Does that make you think "fish" or "smiling asian"?  Just wondering..

Do you always answer your phone?
No. Not if I'm busy or if I'm just not in the phone-talking kind of mood.  I also try to keep the phone off until after lunch so we can be sure to get school done.

It’s four in the morning and you get a text message, who is it?

It better be my friend Linda going into labor with her first child.  She's due on my birthday this month!

If you could change your eye color what would it be?

I always wanted green eyes...would have loved to have inherited my dad's eyes!  (Hey Bobo, we wished for the same color!)

Do you own a digital camera?
Yes- I *heart* my NikonD80

Have you ever had a pet fish?
When I was little we had LOTS of fish...but they all died when Diana Noel (a friend of the family) fed the fish TOO MUCH food!

Favorite Christmas song
O Holy Night (especially when you get to the part "Fall on your knees! Oh hear, the angel voices!")

What’s on your wish list for your birthday

I really really really want a birthday cake with 34 candles on it! Nothing else really (boring, huh?).

Can you do pushups?

I can, I just choose not to.

Can you do a chin up?
I wish I could, but I can't even do ONE!  I am such a wimp.  And the Presidential Fitness Award was not in the cards for me.

Does the future make you more nervous or excited?

I try to take it one day at a time, but I am definitely more excited than nervous.

Ever been in a car wreck?
Yes.

What is the last song to make you cry?
Be Still My Soul.  The words ring so true for me... read them sometime if you get a chance.

Plans tonight?
Just need to clean out David's closet and sort through the overabundance of junk in this house.

Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom?

Yes, although I'm sure it wasn't rock bottom... rock bottom is when you have no hope and can't see a way out.  I am thankful for the hope that is found only through my Lord Jesus Christ!

Name three things you bought yesterday.

I went to the grocery store so I bought a whole lot more than just 3 things!!!

Have you ever been given roses?

Yes

Do you have an accent?

Yes, but it only comes out when I leave a voicemail for someone or when I say certain words, y'all!

Current hate right now?

Poison ivy.

Met someone who changed your life?
Yes, several!

What were you doing at 12 AM last night?

Reading a couple of blogs.  I am such a party animal.

I liked this meme...I borrowed it from you!

About the sisal. I am a 'new' gardener, too. I have done in ground gardens on and off in past years, but never have done a square foot before. I have always used tomato cages, but will be trying the sisal this year for tomatoes, beans. peas and zucchini. I am using cages for the cucumbers. I'll report on my success or failure. :)

I am not a blogger but love to read your blog when I have the chance. I discovered your blog a few months ago and need to tell you that although we have never met, you feel like a dear friend. I have appreciated your tender honesty and have cried with you many times. Thanks for showing us that in one or our darkest times, there is hope in Christ. May God's love surround you and your family.
Blessings and prayers,
Roxanne

Apr. 8, 2009 - thanks for commenting

Posted by candacek

Just wanted to say "thank you" for commenting on my blog. I have to confess that I have read your blog many times and been so encouraged, but I haven't commented (at least I don't think so). I regret I haven't told you so before now. Thank you for being so open and honest about your trials. Your "being real" about your grief really does encourage me on in my faith, even if I have not experienced the same kind of trial. And I love all the pictures!
Warmly,
Candace

Cannot believe the peacock...some people see a dove in times of distress God sends you a whole peacock! ;-) God rocks!
