Mar. 28, 2008 - Blogging Blahs
You know when you take a break from the internet and blogging you do tend to get 'un-addicted' and almost disinterested. So part of me is thinking I should just shut it down, but then another part is so blessed by the relationships I've formed on here and the Lounge and would hate to lose those. Actually, with not making entries as often lately I have missed the interactions.
Another consequence is not being much able to come up with very interesting subjects for blog entries. I mean my last entry was about dust for crying out loud!!! Ha!
So once again I come with not a whole lot to say. I could bemoan my Astros bad Spring (not to mention the demolishing we took at the hands of the Tigers tonight). Or share how Joe got to go to see Texas kill Stanford at Relient stadium tonight, but I suspect most of my readers aren't too interested in that. So - I'm reduced once more to bullitts -- let's see what we can come up with this time....
- How often do you tell someone you'll pray for them and never do?? That's the worst isn't it, especially when the next time you see that person you realize you didn't and can't honestly say, "I've been praying for you!"
- Amanda saw me on the live streaming service of church Wednesday night! I'm a little creeped out that anyone in the world could see me at church. Anyone else have thoughts about this?
- Our Women's Retreat is coming up next week - no matter what God will get the glory. We had a prayer meeting this week and the word that kept coming up was 'new'. New hotel, new administrator, new leaders, new hearts to serve leader (me!). The one 'new' we're hoping for is new-birth!
- Are you sick of this election? Yah - me too!
- I need to renew my passport. It's already expiring in a year again and knowing me I'll leave it to the last minute and be scrambling because some unexpected trip will come up - hey that would be nice!
- We had to buy a dryer last week, when we'd just bought a used one from another homeschooler 3 months ago, but it died! So we went ahead and got a washer too - both used, but they work well. I hate to spend money when I didn't expect to.
- Oh I got the cutest shoes today!!! Nine West, but because they were at Ross - a fraction of the price. Wasn't really looking for shoes but I couldn't resist.
- If you know me I'm not usually an impulse buyer, but did I tell you they were sooooo cute!??
- I'm doing a workshop at the retreat - please pray for me. I've enjoyed so much studying for this though, I hope the ladies like it as much as I have. Hmmm - 'like' is probably a weird word because it's all about sin and repentance! Oh yeah - I get to preach it!
- A friend had Laura and I over for lunch today -- yummy chicken salad and diabectic brownies - oh yeah, so good!
- Laura is gone till Wednesday - man you get used to having someone else around your house. It's kind of weird without her.
- I need a haircut! I must do it before the retreat so I don't have to think about it, or take an hour to dry and fix it. It's a mess!
- Did I mention I got cute shoes?
- Joe's neice had her little baby last week (Rocco)- he's not even 4 lbs --- awwww ... how cute. Of course we won't get to see him -- they're in Az . I must get a gift!! yikes - keep forgetting.
Ok I've run out of ramblings!

Just thought I would share that most of my blog is not anything original. I use it mainly to store neat stuff I find online. I hate bookmarks (who can remember what they are all for anyway) and I don't like storing old devotions in an e-mail folder, so I put them on my blog. Know what? Other people read it and leave me comments! WOW! That's a bonus. Don't give up just because you feel like you have nothing earth shatteringly brilliant to say, loads of us out here just want to know other moms have DUST and messy school rooms, and bad temper days and joyfully share them in this cyber world.

saying you'll pray for someone - I hate that too and do it too often. it's best just to pray for them at that very moment, right? truly though, if we prayed for every thing and every person we wanted to pray for in the morning (or whenever your prayer time is), we would not ever get off our knees, but I bet it would be the most fulfilling thing to experience.
livestreaming - yes, that would creep me out too, make sure your nose is clean. HA! love ya, Dani

I love this entry. If it makes you feel any better, I have run out of things to blog about lately too. My show and tell Friday was about how my son accidentally set my garbage cans on fire!
Praying for you at the conference.
