The rest of our weekend...

After our Friday night play date with the dogs, we did a few more fun things this past weekend. Check it out!!!

Picking pears at a friend's house! Yummy! :-) D.T. made a traditional Compot de Pere (Romanian fruit compote) with a bunch of those pears on Sunday, and tonight, we will be making Pear Honey!


Our friend's little girl! Big bite!!!


Lunch at Smokey Bones!


D.T. loves him some BBQ!!!




Ice cream at good 'ole B & J's!!! Double yum! I love me some of that!


Shopping at the Disney Store!

A Disney soccer ball for our new Soccer Dog! She loves it!!! :-)




Oh, and one more thing... can you believe it... this is my 300th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatnot = Whatever I feel like saying.

I think this is going to be my title from now on when I don't have any clue what I want to say.

*

I am SO glad that I only have 11 days (including today) left until my class is over. I wonder why I am even taking a class and if I should take another one. I wonder which masters degree I should pursue or if I should continue pursuing any at all. I wonder how God is going to use this degree in my life. I wish I had a crystal ball to see into the future.

**

Baby girl or baby boy? I go back and forth. I don't really know which I want. Whichever. Whenever.

***

Our place is a M.E.S.S. right now! I seriously need to clean before Sparkette comes to visit!!! :-) Girl, don't tell me I don't. Trust me. I do. Oh, and I need to pick out the colors for the changing table so we can paint! Yay!!!

****

I was looking through some of my friends on FB and thinking, Wow, when did everybody get so old and have kids that old??? I mean, I feel like we are just as old as everybody else, but about a decade and a half behind schedule. Seriously. We're gonna be like the oldest parents around!!!

*****

Can't think of anything else right now. Oh, our car is in the shop. Boo. The check engine light came on, so we figured we should probably... um... check the engine? We do have an extended warranty, but the guy at the dealership tried to tell us it wasn't covered. We'll see about that! I mean, what's the point of having an extended warranty if it doesn't cover anything?

******

Okay, I think that is really it.

Peace, out.

Whatnot... and other random thoughts.

I've been thinking about doing one of those Vlogemotion things, but I hate being in front of the camera. The video camera, that is. If I actually had a good video camera right now. Which I don't. Whew. Narrowly escaped that one!

I always want to learn something practical in life from the classes I take. This class has been particularly challenging so far because it is all about research and how to actually write a research proposal. You know, with statistics and stuff. That sounded so research-y, didn't it? Yeah right. Anywho... everytime it comes up in a class, I always struggle with the whole science/faith thing. It's making more sense to me right now, though. Science is how we examine and explain God's creation, whether that be the world or the people who live in the world. Faith meets science where science leaves off. Not everything or everyone has to fit into a nice, neat normal distribution, (Bad researcher. I used Wikipedia. That's not considered scholarly.) does it? After all, God doesn't fit in a box. So, we don't have to either. 95% of the people and life circumstances may fit in the box, but God works outside the box. That's where I'd rather be. 'Cause that, my friends, is significant! (Oops, I did it again! Bad researcher!!! I don't like being scholarly, anyway.) Did that make any sense whatsoever?

***

Speaking of words that start with what... Every once in a while, we come across an English word or phrase that D.T. doesn't know. This morning, he asked me "what does whatnot mean?" Hehehe... have any of you heard that word before? English is such a tricky beast sometimes. :-)

***

A serious question. What would you do if you were us? Would you pay $6,500 to get on a second adoption waiting list? That is, if you had $6,500 and didn't mind losing it if you got a placement at the first agency... where you would no longer have that same $6,500 to put towards placement costs there. I'm confused. I know, I know, we are praying for God's direction, and whatever He says, we will do in faith. But I am curious what you think, too. Pros? Cons? What say ye?

***

I'm so excited that Sparkette and her kiddos are coming to visit July 4th weekend!!! Shhhh... don't tell her kiddos, 'cause they might hound her to death for the next 3 weeks. And I kinda need her alive. 'Cause we're gonna sand and paint this baby! Yeah!!! Woohoo! :-)

***

Ok, off to do work and whatnot...

A lot of random stuff...

I am so glad y'all liked my royal version of NMM! I was a little tired of the same old, same old. I don't think I've ever gotten that many compliments all in one place. It could go to a girl's head, you know. I really don't see myself as creative. Actually, that is the last word I would use to describe myself. But, hey, maybe someday I will write a book or something. Or not.

After all, I can really tell that my brain doesn't function the way it used to. Creativity comes in spurts, but most Mondays, I'm just lucky to get it all out.

The Wii has pointed out my deficiency, too. Darn MS. Of course my brain doesn't communicate to my muscles as well as I would like it to. Isn't that the definition of my disease? ;-) Balance is not my forte, Mr. Wii computer? Hmph. Why don't YOU try balancing on one real foot instead of waving your flappy little step corner at me?

***

Sheryl ~ Yep, that is me in the last picture on this post. Boy, things sure do change over the years, don't they! Those were the days of tight curly perms and a few more pounds than I have right now. Although, not too many more. Bring it on, Wii! I am determined to conquer you!

***

I lost a few friends this week. I don't know what I did. :-( But, I got some new ones too!!! Welcome to Amanda, Amy, & Mrs. C! Yay! I like friends.

***

I should apologize to everyone. I've been a bad bloggy friend myself. I think I'm trying to follow so many people, and now, I am so far behind on what is going on in everyone's life. I doubt I can even catch up, so I am just going to start fresh. After all, it's a brand new day!

***

Hey, traffic has slowed down a bit at the Body of Christ. Won't you stop over to pray for our brothers and sisters? Maybe you'd even like to follow over there so that you receive timely updates on those in need.

Well, guess that's about it for now.
