How Wonderful Are You?

My dear oldest son (Exhibit A) just told me that he heard on the radio that a poll was conducted and 80% of parents yell at their children, which is a form of psychological abuse.

I don't know why he told me that. I *NEVER* yell at my children :)

I saw a link regarding letterboxing on mamabeth's blog a while back. I've been running through the lists in the past month, thinking of ones I want to look for (we have 4 here locally.) My youngest son and I went looking for one of them about a week or two ago, but didn't find it (we know what we did wrong and once it warms up, we'll try again.) My oldest didn't want to go because he was "too cool." He may go with us next time, now that he has heard it isn't another one of "Mom's lame activities" and my youngest really did have fun (even though we didn't find it. go figure.)

It involves hiking (we could use the exercise), a little orienteering (perfect! We have two Boy Scouts here) and stamping (my perk, because I'm such a stampaholic.)

Since I'm off this week, we are gonna spend a morning sometime out looking for three of the four local boxes.

Thank God they finally caught him. Now there will be true freedom for the Iraqi people and our guys will be safer over there (and hopefully can start cleaning up, so they can all come home.)

God bless our 4th ID and God bless W.

I'm sure Daschle and all the minions will be deeply saddened by this news.

I shamelessly stole this from a link on Mark Shea's blog (grin)

What not to do next Wednesday:

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait...where the #&$* is Harry Potter?"

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU.....SHALL NOT..... PASS!"

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!"

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for a tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!"

22. After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better. Just look at Episodes I and II."

I'm spending this morning working on cards and combing through the seemingly millions of pictures I've taken so that I can burn them to CD. I came across this one I took last year near New Braunfels, Texas. I wish our Church would do something like this...but more than that, I wish that I didn't have to wish our Church would do something like this.



Heartbreaking.
