New Blogs... What's yours?

Hey people,

So I've had a lot going on but I've been slowing down late at night at work and started up reading my favorite blogs. My friend sent a link for this one blog and they are having a contest! I usually don't enter these things but I really like their blog so I'm entering!

Because life is like a bowl of marbles... http://cylindassundries.blogspot.com/ (love the name by the way)

So if you have a blog and want a full time reader send me a link let me know about you. I'd love to be a follower!

One of those....makes you laugh, makes you think!

There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him.

An angel hears his plea and appears to him. "Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you...." The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules.

The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him. Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.

Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. St. Peter seeing the suitcase says, "Hold on, you can't bring that in here!"

But, the man explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord. Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, "You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through."

St. Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, "You brought pavement?!!!"

Then reality sets in... I NEED A MAN!!!

Being single isn't so bad, I've learned a lot being a single girl. I can change a tire, check my oil & levels in my car and even change a car battery by myself. I can hang up picture frames, fix small things around the house. I've gotten over my fear of bugs... well sorta as long as I am armed with a bottle of Raid, high heel and ton of napkins. I can and will kill a bug, not to mention I will pollute the air with Raid that every bug in a square mile is choking and I don't really smoosh the bug but throw a high heel from 50 feet away praying it will hit it, I've gotten good! I've gotten so independent that I think, I could survive without a guy!

But today reality kicked through the door and I realized... I need a man!!!

After attempting for about an hour, I gave up in tears and yelled out words... I NEED A MAN!!!

Nope, superman or any guy for that matter came running, no one saved my day and was my hero, I had to walk away and just give up, and asked myself...

"Will I Ever Be Able to Open the Jar of Pickles Again?"

So I'm taking up applications, but there is one test you must pass...
"Can you open this jar of pickles for me?"

Boycotting Jars,

Parachute Away!!!

~*~Remember when you were in elementry school, picture it. Gym class, back when it was fun not work and sweaty like in Jr. High and High School but there was one day that you look forward too. Ok so some are thinking dodge ball, (I was only good at dodging balls just not throwing them back!) but I'm talking about the day everyone loved!!! Parachute day!!! Everyone could get involved, the teacher would bright out this HUGE multicolored parachute and if you were lucky you would get a handle, otherwise you held on to the side. Oh how cool, making it waves or making it fly up high and almost float down. Or try to keep the balls on the parachute as we bounced them around or run under it. Oh my the fun!!!

~*~So I haven't thought about this for YEARS!!! So when I came across something about parachutes I realized I JUST HAD to have one!!! I figured they would be expensive and way out of my price range but I started looking. After caculating the kids at my church and the size I would need plus what I could afford I found a very affordable one! I bided on one on ebay and I'm just HOPING I get it cause it used but it great condition and cheap!!!

~*~Now I'm bouncing around like a kid, telling everyone that I'm getting a parachute! Lots of the teens and adults were ssssoooo excited, except for a few. Poor homeschooled children that never got to experience the parachute day!!! Don't worry we will fix that!

~*~Hey and with all my research did you know that parachutes are actually good for you? Yeap that right, it teaches teamwork, cooperation, upper body strenght and of course it's lots of fun!!!

~*~A parachute kid forever~*~
