Honest Scrap Award!

My friend, Sarah, at The Notelpats, gave me the Honest Scrap award!

There are a couple of things you have to do when you get this award:

~ You have to tell your readers ten things about you they may not know, but that are true.

~ You have to tag 10 people with the award.

~ Let all the people you've given the award to know that they've gotten it.

~ Make sure you link back to the person who awarded it to you.

1.

I was in 4-H and Girl Scouts growing up and I LOVED!! it

2.

I rode the Boomerang Express last week and my brain is fried.

3.

I tried to change the words to the Grandma got run over by a reindeer song to Grandma got run over by the boomerang express with no luck at all.

4.

I need to go to the post office and send my kids their 4th of July presents!

5.

I have to work until midnight on the 4th of July and that makes me really really upset.

Because I love the 4th of July!

6.

I want to go swimming really bad because it is summer and they are building a new pool here that looks like fun. But it is not open yet :-(

7.

I got my nails done the other day and I told the lady that I wanted to do something patriotic because I love the 4th of July. And she says to me" so what colors do you want?" all confused looking and I say red, white and blue a little on the rude side and then she pulls out red white and GREEN!

8.

There is a swimming pool in the church that I attend here, but it is broken.

I am reading Jesus wants to save Christians by Rob Bell. His book covers this subject matter very well. I suggest you go read it . He is a GREAT author! I loved his other books too

Sex God and Velvet Elvis

9.

"This is why I worship you, this is why I love your truth, because in all the world there's nothing to compare your glory too, this is why I worship you. "

Is stuck in my head!

randomly random

My dad found this photo of me deep in a bin somewhere and sent it to me.
This is me at a 4-H meeting in 1997
OMG I look alot like me
Why am I sharing this random picture????
Because it is like one of the only photos of that time period in which I don't look positively awful .
Jr High was not good to me.
But I did have my good days and this photo is proof!
I have no recollection as to what I am doing here.
I do remember that we made alot of games for preschoolers. I am guessing that is what is going on here.
Funny I hadn't even given thought to the fact that I could grow up and love to work with kids then.
Back then I wanted to be an artist.
When clearly little kids were my thing
huh funny how much you learn about yourself growing up!

On another random note

So, I guess that blogging is in my genes.

I found out just a few weeks ago that my dad has been blogging. Although he doesn't call it that he calls it writing.

He has been writing for a web site that was set up by his graduating class.

They just had their 40th class Reunion (OMG he is old)

He has some good stuff

he is a much better writer than me
