Scriptures to Ponder

Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward apprearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11

Addictions


I was reading a post from my friend's blog today and she was talking about how she did not realize how addicted she is to her cell phone. Do not worry this post is not going to be any kind of confession about any addictions nearly as serious as in A Million Little Pieces. But it made me think about my so-called-addictions. So here they are in list form:

1. My cell phone
2. My laptop/internet connection
3. (Future addiction) my new GPS & maps & trips software
4. Network marketing (Longaberger, Team National, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Home Interior, etc...)
5. ebay
6. Blogging
7. Panera/Starbucks (Like Starbucks coffee & cakes better, but like internet access from Panera)
8. Shopping
9. My soaps
10. working out

So mostly gadgets and anything related to shopping. What are you addicted to?

Cars


I took the boys to see cars last night. We had a good time. The movie is around 2 hours. A little over with previews and the mini movie that Pixar has been known to do.

I liked the movie, but I would not call it a "funny" movie or one of my favorites. I was expecting more, so I was a bit disappointed. I do not think that the boys were disappointed but I could tell by the lack of chatter after the movie that they did not think it was too fantastic.

The movie had more of a "serious" storyline to it. Somewhat thought provoking. Just the pure animation is good enough for Brayden but I think the more in depth story was good for Cody and myself. I liked the storyline.

Have you seen cars? If so what did you think of it? What is the best movie that you have seen recently?

I saw The Break Up last weekend. I liked it. Probably one of the better movies that I've seen (I've seen Failure to Launch, MI3, and Ice Age 2 recently in the theaters).

Interesting...


Next month, a company called Atech Flash Technology will release the iCarta, designed to let users listen to music while in the bathroom and features a toilet-paper holder.

The $99.95 iCarta's four speakers are designed to resist moisture, and the device uses AC power to charge the iPod while it's playing. Atech says the toilet paper holder can be folded in if the user would rather not employ this unique implementation of multitasking.

When contacted for comment by gadget Web site iPodObserver.com, Atech sales manager Eric Liu said: "We want to create something that is different and brings people joy for buying such products. The product is even protected by our own patent worldwide."

Life

So I have been back from Chicago for a couple of days or more and things have not slowed down one bit.

My grandma had a heart attack on Sunday. She is doing fine now but just came home from the hospital today.

Marvin and my Aunt Teri have been taking care of Grandpa while mom & I have been watching over Grandma.

She had 2 stints put in and she does have heart failure. About 35% of her heart is functioning at this time. But they put her on medication to help. I guess her and grandpa are on the same medication for their hearts now.

Things have been picking up for me with work. Which is good. I need the business. It takes a while and persistance helps.

That's all I have time for right now. Sounds more like a generic email than a blog posting, but that's how it goes some times.

Walking Around Town

I am in the Chicago area this week for work. Instead of driving and parking we tend to do a lot of walking. There are a lot of things within walking distance, which make it nice. So today as I was out walking about I saw some interesting things…

I saw that an Ethiopian Restaurant is opening soon – so I wondered what Ethiopians eat. Here is what I found online – http://www.ethiopianrestaurant.com/dining_suggestions.html#first

I saw a man with a very large belly sitting on a park bench, with his button up shirt unbuttoned, in order to sun that belly.

I saw a truck stuck under the train bridge.

I saw a man who had been to the grocery store. He had about 6 bags. He was stopped in the middle of the sidewalk eating his groceries.

I love walking!

Theoden


This is my new nephew Theoden. He is SOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable. And I am not biased in anyway. He is just so sweet and cute. Yes, my brother’s son is sweet. He is just a baby after all. He makes the cutest faces. Did I mention how adorable he is??? And I gave him LOTS of kisses!!!

Memorial Day Weekend




Here are some pictures of our Memorial Day Weekend. We had a big lake day on Sunday with a cook out at my mom’s house. She had a house full of friends and family.

Monday I went out to the lake again with Holly and Carter.
