I can Relate

Okay, I can relate to this video. I’m not saying how. I’m just saying that a part of me can relate.

More Muppets

Can you ever get enough of Beaker? I mean, sure, he can give you a headache, but this stuff is classic.

I told you that you would laugh. Oh, wait. I didn’t. Well, I hope you laughed anyway. Life is too short not to laugh whenever you get a chance.

Needing Some Prayers

Not for me. Well, you can always pray for me. But, besides the usual everyday stressful stuff, I’m not in crisis mode right now.

On the right of my blog page at the top of my blog roll is Cjane. I am a big fan of her blog. I love her wit and humor and once I even had dream that we were friends. Weird. (I take no responsibility for my dreams. None whatsoever.) Her sister has her own blog that is fabulous by its own right. (NieNie Dialogue’s)

So the prayers that are needed are for Cjane’s sister and husband. They were in an airplane crash in Arizona and received severe burns. It is still touch and go.

Here is the story:

If you want to stay up-to-date on their condition, cjane has it all on her blog.

Sometimes I think my life is a struggle and then I hear stories like this and then my life feels like a breeze. My biggest problem, besides getting out of bed to take Em to piano lessons is mixing up the ei-ie combination of every word on this page. I need more sleep. (See how easy my life is right now?)

So, send some love NieNie’s way. You can get all the info at cjane’s blog, still on the right on my blog roll. And have a great day.

In the end, it wouldn’t be a bad way to go

Sorry, I’ve been out of blogosphere lately. I have been vacationing as much as possible and eeking out every bit of summer that is left. School starts a week from tomorrow. I will be school shopping and partying (which are about equivalent) pretty much every day this week. Okay, not really partying, but I’ll think of something fun to do.

This is what I have been doing:

I grew up two hours away from this place in beautiful (although undesirable to me) Teton Valley. I can’t get enough of Yellowstone. Even though much of it stinks like rotten eggs and I got another mosquito bite (my second of the year), I think everyone should visit Yellowstone at least once before they die.

And on that note, did you know that almost the entire park is a caldera?

Caldera=top of a volcano

 Also, it is active. Also, it if blows, we would enter the next ice age. (So much for global warming, Al. Then you’d have to find something else to do besides annoy us and advertise Viagra, I’m just saying. Maybe you could re-invent the internet.)

And while I walked along the boardwalks with eggy-steam in my face and waded in Firehole river while my kids skipped rocks and watched Old Faithful and ate Huckleberry Ice Cream (Is this a run-on sentence?), I thought about the volcano blowing it’s top and blowing us clear to New Mexico and I thought, you know, it wouldn’t be a bad way to go.

How are spending the last days of your summer?

Go World!

Did any of you watch the Opening Ceremonies to the Olympic Games?

If you didn’t, you totally missed out. It was AMAZING!

China was at it best in all its beauty, creativity, and even power. Couldn’t you just feel their power? Almost a little scary. I have a good friend who just moved to China. I’ll have to ask her about that.

My favorite part was a commercial, though.  I tried to find the right one, but this one is close enough. :-)  One thing that impressed me during the opening ceremonies was how beautiful all the people in the world are. So many colors of skin and hair and eyes, so many different styles of clothing, but every person so beautiful.

It was even more clear to me that God created us all and He loves us all.

GO USA and GO WORLD!!!
