Leaping and Hoping

Today is Leap Day. February 29th.

Until last week, I was under the impression that everyone knew what Leap Day is. There was a lady that called our office to fuss about the appointment we had made for her child on the 29th. She (quite hatefully) stated, "I'm pretty sure there are only 28 days in February." When I explained to her that this was a Leap Year, she said she had never heard of that before. Really?! How are you a grown-up that doesn't know about Leap Year?! I remember learning about it in school and celebrating it when it came around. It even goes in the "30 days has September..." rhyme. Some people are just crazy!!

I, personally, associate Leap Year and the Summer Olympics. I love to watch the Olympics!! I have ever since I was a kid. I don't know what it is about those games that suck me in and fill me with American Pride, but they do - EVERY TIME!! I am already getting excited as I saw that the celebrations are beginning in London. That means the Olympics (and SUMMER) are getting closer and closer!! YAY!!

I'm sure you'll get lots more when the Olympics get here, so I won't go into great nostalgia now. We have plenty of time for that!!

In honor of Leap Day, I thought I would set you up with a link to a free Leap Day Coloring Page. Enjoy!!

Birthdays.

I don’t really like them.

They are too much work and too much responsibility.

I have already started dreading mine, and I am beginning to not like everyone else’s too.

Technology makes them more complicated, not easier.

I know everyone is my family’s birthday by heart. Whenever I hear those dates, automatically, I think of that particular family member, and oftentimes even mention aloud that the date belongs to one of my family members. This is even the same for several of my close friends.

Since we’re all getting older and live so far apart, my family decided to just send cards to one another in an attempt to make things easier on everyone. I don’t think this is easier. It is cheaper than shipping a gift, but it is not easier. I can easily remember the birth date, but I cannot easily remember to buy a card and put it in the mail days before the actual date. This is too hard for me. {pathetic? yes, but true}

In addition to the card, there are several other responsibilities that technology requires that one must do. There is the Facebook Happy Birthday. There is the Happy Birthday text and/or phone call. Now that I have this blog, there is also the added pressure of a birthday blog post honoring that particular family member or friend.

Do you see what I’m saying?! Birthdays are too much responsibility, and I don’t like it. What ever happened to the days of simply buying someone a gift and going to their super fun birthday party?! I want to go back there. At least everyone won on the birthday.

All this to say…

I didn’t mail Bor’s birthday card on time (again!), and I didn’t do a birthday post.

Before you judge me for being a terrible big sister, let me say this…at least I did do the birthday FB and text messages (multiple text messages at that!). 2 out of 4 – 50% - does that count for anything?!

Bor, please let this be your PUBLIC APOLOGY!! I’m so sorry that I did not blog about that glorious day when you were birthed into our world!! Please forgive me!!

I'll just buy you some ice cream next time we are together and we'll call it even, ok?!?

Mad Lib - I Shot the Sheriff

I cannot believe we are already at the end of February!! Time really is FLYING BY!! At least we have an extra day this year...maybe that will make up for some of that "lost time"!! This Mad Libs thing has been a lot of work, but I thought it was pretty fun! Thanks to everyone that participated. I'll let you know if I decide to do this again in the future (**feedback is always appreciated**) Here is the last and final song - in honor of my dear hubby!! Some people had a hard time following directions, so there are some blanks in some of the stories - you can just make up some words as you read along! Enjoy...

Today is Not Just about the Japanese

Today is a very special day. 


It is the day that the Pennsylvania Hospital, the first hospital in the United States, was opened by Benjamin Franklin. The day that the first release of American prisoners of war from Vietnam takes place. Nelson Mandela was released from Victor Verster Prison outside Cape Town, South Africa after 27 years as a political prisoner on this particular day. The Space Shuttle Discovery was launched on a mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. This is even the traditional date for the foundation of Japan by Emperor Jimmu.


I mean, really, a lot has happened on the 42nd day of our year.

All of that stuff was monumental, but I think the most important thing that has ever happened on February 11th was the birth of my Best Work Friend, Diane. It was a LOOOOONG time ago. Luckily, Ben Franklin had already opened his hospital, so D's mom had some place safe to bring her precious baby into the world. 

I'm so glad that day happened, so that MANY years later I would be able to meet her and become her BWF. She's the icing on my work cake. I'm her Dolly Parton and she's my Kenny Rogers (shout out to "Islands in the Stream" - D's jam!!) We're the best work team that GHS has ever seen!!

Most folks only know her to be a wonderful wife and mom. She is indeed that...

But this is the REAL D!! This is the D that I get to work with every day! This is the D that makes me laugh until I cry. This is the D that let's me talk her into doing crazy things, like taking this pic. This is the D that I heart and thank God for!!

Mad Lib - Smelly Cat

I am super excited about today's song!! One of my most favorite shows EVER is Friends, and our song comes from that show!! Smelly Cat (Phoebe`s Song) Mad Lib

Smelly _____, smelly _____What are they _____ you? Smelly _____, smelly _____It`s not your _____. They won`t _____ you to the _____. You`re obviously not their _____ _____. You may not be a _____of _____, And you`re no _____to those with _____. Smelly _____, smelly _____What are they _____ you? Smelly _____, smelly _____It`s not your _____. There weren't any lines in particular that were my favs, but I did have some fav words this time. The winners are D with the School Bus Driver, Bor with the Weenuses, and Matt with the Honey Badger! Enjoy...  Tiffany Smelly Pig, smelly Pig What are they amusing you? Smelly Pig, smelly Pig It`s not your Chair. They won`t Bite you to the Photographer. You`re obviously not their Large Chipmunk.

Smelly Honey Badger, smelly Honey Badger It`s not your Laptop. P.S. The only person legitimately excused from this week's (and most likely next week's) game is Mir. Although I feel like checking my blog should be on her mind every day, I am trying to understand that it may not be this week. You see, she and Mike are in Switzerland this week. Remember I told you about him being in Afghanistan for 6 months?! Well, this week is his vacation/break, and they decided to meet in the Alps for a week of skiing, relaxing, and other fun things. (see Sheet Music for more details - hahaha!!) She sent this pic of the view they have from their hotel. Jealous much?! 

Mad Libs #2

Mad Libs #2 is up!! This one is a lot shorter, so you won't have to think quite as much as last time. If you are needing a run down on the parts of speech, see this post.

Like I mentioned on Friday, I'm hoping more people will realize that they are missing out on the fun and will join us this week! I think you are really going to enjoy this song. I won't lie - it is one of my favs!!

So, here is what you are needing...

Animal - 2
Verb - 3 (2 ending in "ing")
Noun - 4 (1 plural)
Occupation -1
Adjective - 1
Relationship - 1
Body Part (plural) - 1

You know the drill...Leave your words in the comment section, and I will add them into the Mad Lib tomorrow. I can't wait!!!

Books I am Reading

Before we do another Mad Libs Friday, I thought I would share with y'all about some books I am reading (one I just finished and one I am about to start). Both of these books are by the same author, Dr. Kevin Leman. He is a Christian psychologist that writes on a number of topics. These two books, however, are on sex and marriage. If you aren't married, I suggest you wait until you are to read his books, but if you are married I HIGHLY recommend him and his books as references.


The book I just finished reading (actually for the 2nd time) is Sheet Music. I do really recommend this book, but must warn you it is very "to the point" and very challenging. There is a lot of practical knowledge in this one - and a lot of things that make you think ... and act! :)

The next book that I am going to be starting is Under the Sheets. I have not read this one yet, but I am confident that it will be just as great as Sheet Music. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

I'm thinking that I will follow both of these up with another of his books - The Birth Order Book. This topic really intrigues me. Dr. Leman talks about Birth Order in Sheet Music and it really made me think. It is very interesting to look at how the order in which you were born into your family really does shape you into the person that you become. I'll get back to you on this one later...

 

If there is one thing in my life that I am passionate about (besides my relationship with Christ) it is my marriage! I really feel like that we have got to do all that we can to guard and protect our marriages (I don't mean that in a crazy Kasey from the Bachelor kind of way - like for real!) I challenge you to not only read these books, but to also encourage your spouse to read them too...and for you both to talk about them. I know, I know...men don't ever want to talk about ANYTHING personal - except SEX!! It gets the every time!! :)

I sure hope that these books encourage you...and your marriage. If you read them, I'd love to know what you think! Have fun!! :)

Mad Lib - Breakfast at Tiffany's

Our first Mab Libs has been completed!! We had 7 participants in this week's game, which makes me very happy since I was afraid I would go to all this trouble and no one would respond! Hopefully more people will see how fun this is and will participate in the coming weeks. And I expect to see lists from the 7 of you next week too!! It was funny to see what everyone came up with - especially since some of you had the same words! I think my 2 fav lines in the song were, “What about BIKER WEEK at JENNIFER’s?” and And now your BIG TOES FART through me. So, props to Jennifer and Bor for coming up with those!! :) Our first song was ... Breakfast at Tiffany`s (Deep Blue Something)

You say that we`ve got _____ in common No common _____ to start from And we`re _____  apart You`ll say the _____  has come between us Our _____  have come between us But I know you just don`t care And I said, "what about `_____  at _____ `s`?" She said, "I think I _____  the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda _____  it." And I said, "Well, that`s the one _____  we`ve got." I _____  you _____- the _____   one who knew me And now your _____ _____ through me I _____  I was wrong So what now? It`s _____ to see we`re _____  , And I hate when _____  are _____- When so much is left _____   And here are everyone's versions of the song... **leave me a comment and let me know what you think!!

And I said, “Well, that’s the one CAR we’ve got.”

I FART you – the SADLY one who knew me

And now your BIG TOES FART through me

I SAT I was wrong

So what now? It’s GINORMOUS to see we’re FLUFFY

And I hate when BLANKETS are BLANKETS

When so much is left ROTUND

LEAH

You say that we’ve got HOUSES in common

No common DESK to start from

And we’re LAUGHING apart

You’ll say the SUSHI has come between us

Our HORSES have come between us

But I know you just don’t care

And I said, “What about THE CIRCUS at THE BOSS MAN’s?”

She said, “I think I LOVE the film,

And as I recall, we both kinda WALKED it.”

And I said, “Well, that’s the one RING we’ve got.”

I FLOAT you – the HAPPILY one who knew me

And now your TOES FLOAT through me

I SING I was wrong

So what now? It’s GREEN to see we’re ROUND

And I hate when TREES are TREES       

When so much is left LONG
