For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting more pics... here is James! Took this when I got here tonight. :-)

And... US.

Memorial Day Sabbath Service

Hubband did the scripture reading today at church, and produced a slide show honoring all those who serve as a Memorial Day Tribute. The show was conceived by our friend MattieG (also pictured here...introducing the slide show and with his gal, JenH). It was a great program... we're trying to figure out how to post it so all can see. Once we do... watch out! >wink<

I can't believe Im saying this....

but MySpace? Just made my day! I haven't been there in a while, in fact, I RARELY go there as I have this here little blog to keep me satisfied with life, the universe, and writing. HOWEVER, a close girlfriend from college just berated me on IM for not accepting her as a friend since she asked me WEEKS (ok, DAYS) ago so I went back to check... and found not 1, but EIGHT add requests and TWO of them? Were from people Ive been LOOKING FOR FOR YEARS! Im quite pleased.

Those of you who regularly read my blog know that my friend from High School and I used to tramp through icky weather to partake of used books and omelettes.... you also will know that I have told that story/memory at LEAST 2x on here and each time reminisced that I really needed to find her again. Well, SHE found ME! Hurrah! Its good to be back in touch....Takes those "mean reds" right away from here, that's for sure!

Then there is Der Kerkermeister. We tried to find him before our wedding 2 years ago as he was a close mutual friend to both the Hubband and myself during our WWC years. We searched, we called, we tramped through blinding snow (ok, maybe not that one)... all to no avail. And now? When I did a search for him LAST WEEK, nothing came up...and today? HE ADDED ME! WOOT!

So. MySpace... the antipathy of all that is good internet.... is good internet. For today at least. ;-)

Its the little things that get us so excited....

Prayers

Hey all, please keep Q in your prayers. She is entering her 9th month of pregnancy soon and is feeling a lot of pain and contracting and other not fun but leading up to labor type things....Here's wishes for her to feel better, sleep well, and labor easy. :-)

Shoes

I love shoes. Seriously, and deeply, and the affair has gone on for years. Unfortunately, Im not in a place where I can indulge that love of shoes. Lack of money, lack of space, etc. But I went to Amalah's advice blog this morning and she linked me to Nordstrom for shoes. It was better than coffee... on the first page of the sandal site, I could have spent $300 on 3 pairs in the first 10 listings! Then, I scrolled down the page, my breath grew short, my eyes grew large.... there are like 35 PAGES of shoes just in the Sandal section. Its like, some sort of online heaven that costs more than Disneyland in July. Little calculation... if I like 3 pairs on each page, and I bought them all... that would be around 10500. For about 100 pairs of shoes. Do you think I can save it up by next summer? I am buying a house, so there'll be lots of space.... right?
