Seems we haven't had any mice or trolls recently.

Oh, that explains its disappearance, LOL! Well, LouieMax is very cute.

Happy Two Days To Go, everybody.

I'm not sure how much I will be around the rest of this weekend.

I'm having satellite problems due to weather and I'm trying to get some packages wrapped.

I'll be checking pings several times.

Happy Two Days to Go. :)

Merry Christmas.

No problem, Amy. I know what it means wrapping presents at the last moment. Tell me about it.

I'll be around – I come and go... sometimes I come, sometimes I go, lol.

If I have to die from too much of something, then I choose popcorn!

Hot off my email list:

Kids In Church

3-year-old, Reese:
"Our Father, Who does art in
heaven, Harold is His name.
Amen."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A little boy was overheard praying:
"Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A. Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments.
They were ready to discuss the last one.
The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was.
Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted,
"Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer for several evenings at bedtime,
she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer.
Finally, she decided to go solo.
I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated
each word right up to the end of the prayer:
"Lead us not into temptation," she prayed,
"but deliver us some E-mail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One particular four-year-old prayed,
"And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they were on the way to church service,
"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough.
"You're not supposed to talk out loud in church."
"Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said,
"See those two men standing by the door?
They're hushers."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5 and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'"
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
"Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.
"He died and went to Heaven," the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
"Did God throw him back down?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A wife invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"

I probably won't be getting the flamethrower and the armored personnel carrier.
:(

But I will be getting shirts and pants.
Considering my waistline fluctuates throughout the year by an inch or two, I have desperately needed said pants.
*chuckle*

It is annoying to go from a 30 inch waist to a 28 inch waist within one month.
And then do the reverse come 'next season'.
(Ahhh, the joys of being me..grrrr.)

Welcome.
Popped into my head along with a tune, and I typed it down before it flew from my head.
But since I have zero musical talent... I cannot get the tune out of my head and onto paper for others to see.
*shrugs*

I had some biological help on my odd waistline.
Mono does wonders for such.
Also did wonders for other things as well.
Like appetite and body temp.
*hmmm*

I don't recommend it.
(I LIKED weighing in at 152 pounds!)
