Hmmm...

What is Sam doing in this picture?

You Know It's Bad When

... you know you're a bad blogger when your mother tells you to blog more often so as to give her something to read at work.

I really have nothing happening in my life right now, so i'm going to make a top ten list. These are the first ten things that just so happen to pop into my mind in the next few minutes:

1. Dusty has a spanish test tomorow that he just told me about and "requires assistance."
2. Work was not bad today at all. This is because we only had 10 kids between the two classes so we combined and I got to hang out with Angela more.
3. Our apartment is hot and it's October. Gah.
4. I heard from Andi today and we all really need to pray for her. A lot.
5. We have a lot of things to pack.
   
6. Dusty and I need to finish Lost. "Lazzim"-- it is necessary in Arabic.
7. I want to finish my dragon book by the end of the weekend.
8. Garrett and Erika get married this weekend! Woo hoo!
9. Dusty turns 22 this weekend! Woooohoooo!
10. I am almost an aunt, Dusty is almost an uncle, and Aubs is almost a mommy... come on Gabby! Hurry up and make your grand entrance! I am keeping my camera constantly charged, so I can take pictures at the drop of a hat. (Or at 3 am, whatever the case may be.)

Maybe there is more going on than I see in an instant... :)

Season Three

...is driving me crazy!

Although now I realize why when I told people I was in the middle of season one they gave me a look like I was a cute little four year old learning to write their name...

I'm hooked.

Happy...

...Birthday, Dear Blog! I can't believe it's already been a year! 

Celebrate!

If I Were...

If I were a smoker on a day like today I would have inhaled a pack and a half on my lunch.

If I were an alcoholic on a day like today I would have sidled up next to a bottle of Jack--forget the Coke-- right as I walked in the door.

If I were a compulsive buyer on a day like today I would have maxed out my credite card.

If I had a gambling problem on a day like today I would have hopped a plane to Vegas and let the dice fly.

If I had an obsessive complusion disorder on a day like today I would have come home and organized my bookshelf by author and genre, and my clothing by color. (Though if I were OCD those things would already have been done huh?)

As it stands I bought the only thing I could think of to comfort me:

Sadly while typing this blog I reazlied this makes me a something: a stress eater!

I'd like to thank the Maniacal Mother who makes my life hell on a daily basis, the corrupt healthcare system in America, and all the companies out there charging me monthly bills for their services... you just made my gain a pound or two.

Glen Yoder and the Night Fire

Ham Days. Ham Days. Man I love Kentucky!

Last night Glen Yoder and the Nightfire (being Dusty, Sam, and Matt) kicked butts and took names during Battle of the Bands.

Other bands included such rock 'n' roll greatness as:

• Resin 8 (with their hit single, Resonation... clever huh?)
• Chasing Layne (do yourself a favor and click here... but be prepared!)
• Twelve 43 (guitars were out of tune... pull the plug!)
• The Jack Thomas Band (John Mayer covers)
• Downpoint (not even memorable enough to merit a little commentary here)

With the exception of The Jack Thomas Band, the rest were shredder, Warlock playing, distortion pedal toting, lame-a$$ metal!

A Vineyard goer put it best when he said:

"Glen Yoder and the Night Fire-battle of the bands winners: this makes me happy because a band composed of folks from the worship ministry at the Vineyard went out and kicked secular metal in the head, and did it on their own stage- I love it."

And the best part is, now d. and I can pay rent! Being married to a musician (albeit not a full-time musician) does have its perks. And I love, love, love seeing the Lord provide for us through a competition sponsored by Miller Lite. 

(take that Lifeway!) :)

All I Want For Christmas Is...

... a Dyson Ball!

However, Dusty made a good point today: someday (ah that proverbial someday!) we'll be able to buy a vacuum cleaner without it being a Christmas present. Because really, who gets a vacuum for Christmas anyways?

Until that someday I'll just stick to my Bissell.
