Feb. 21, 2008 - More Randomness
Since I know most of your are truly not that interested in the JBs ( and I don't blame you!) I thought I'd put something else up pretty quickly ... so here's some random thoughts and several pet peaves. if you could care less about the things that bother me then don't read it - it's my blog! Ha!
Here goes:
- My Rockets are rockin' baby! We're nine wins in a row, and by the time I post this I hope it's 10 - they're winning 48-29 right now. I'll be sad if they let this one get away. YES they WON!
- Basketball does not make up for baseball but it'll do for now!
- I hate when people misuse the adieu word. My friend Amanda correctly uses the phrase "I bid you a fair adieu" today on her blog, but people trying to be smart will often say.. "without further adieu" ack - wrong! Should be "without further ado!' Who cares? You're thinking - well who does? Me! And like I said - it's my blog
- Ok since we're on wrong terms ... there's no such word as heighth!!! That's like nails on a chalk board!! Breadth, width.... HEIGHT!!! I know I can be a verbage snob and I don't have the best vocabulary myself but when something bugs you, it bugs you.
- I'm really enjoying our Saturday night services. Joe leads worship and I always enjoy that (not that Frank doesn't do a great job on Sundays) and the atmosphere is very relaxed. It also means I have time on Sundays to meet with people I need to. At least half of the Sundays so far I've had to do that.
- Fridays are also very cool now that Joe has them off.
- Did I mention I love the Homeschool Lounge?
- I'd really like to figure out how to make my blog look better but I don't know how to do even the simple things
. I'm being advised to switch to "Blogger" because it's easier to customize but I'd hate to lose some friends here. I know I could direct them over there but they may not want to do that. - I was awarded the Excellence in Blogging from one of my friends the other day but I don't know how to get the little sticky award thingy so I can pass it on - please help!
- Danie (14) wants me to take her to the Mall today -- urgh! What did I ever do to deserve that?
- Church is having a Youth Purity Conference this weekend. Parents are invited but Joe and I will have to switch off - Pete (9) is sick.
- I'm trying to sell Mathusee Pre-Algebra Teacher's pack. I had to buy the whole thing because I lost one disk!! What happened - we found the disk 2 days ago - so now I have the pack in perfect condition .. if you or anyone you know would be interested, let me know (I'm thinking $40 ppd - that's over a $20 savings - if you buy from the company you have taxes and shipping). SOLD!!!!
- I thought the correct people were sent home from American Idol this week. I think the next to go has to be the rocker chick and the guy with the weird name ... Chikezie or something. What do you think?
Gotta go ..... lots to do, places to visit, people to see.........

I'm in "agreeance" (LOL) with your assessment of the voted-off contestants. I have a weird feeling that Danyy Noriega is gg to be this year's Sanjaya. blech. I hope not. And this morning Chris Sligh from last year was on KLOVE. He's recorded a christian album. COOL! love ya, Dani

You mentioned that some people like blogger better, I just put a travel post up on blogger, and I'm not that thrilled with it. I have finally got comfortable with my blog here and fixing it up, and blogger is different and a little confusing to me. Plus on blogger, every time you add a picture (which takes a lot longer to load) it always goes to the top, then you have to drag it where you want it, then for some reason spaces are added between all your pictures and paragraphs each time you add a picture, so by the time I added several pictures there were very significant gaps that I had to fix. Anyway, I decided I like it here better than there.
As for American Idol, I'm suprised Chikezee (sp. ?) didn't go home already, but unless he steps it up, he'll be next.
As for your question about the Excellence Award, I don't think it only has to be given to this site, I would think any site you wanted is fine.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I'm a verbage snob too. Someday I'll compile a list.
And honestly I'm not entirely sure about Amanda the rocker chick either. But I think she'll last longer than some of the other contestants. She'll be in the top twelve methinks.
