Thirteen Things That Have Crossed My Mind This Week
Posted in Once I Was a Kansas Girl and tagged with Children, Giveaway, Humor, Lists, Thursday Thirteen, Work on July 30, 2008Thirteen Things That Have Crossed My Mind This Week:
1. I’m afraid to admit how many times I’ve been tempted to doodle on my feet or legs. Will I never learn my lesson?
2. I understand why doctors have such horrible handwriting. The longer I have to take notes for school, the messier my writing gets. Good thing I’m done in December, or no one would ever be able to read my writing!
3. I won a $25 giftcard to Papa John’s from Smoochiefrog. I have been craving their thin crust cheese pizza. Yum yum!
4. When my roommate’s family came to visit (with only 4 nephews and 1 niece!), we found a coupon in the pull-out couch. It’s for Cling-Free, a product I’ve never heard before. It’s worth 25 cents. And it expired August 31, 1992.
5. When I saw one of those Darwin fish stickers the other day, I got to thinking. There aren’t any fish with legs, so isn’t this just drawing attention to a weak point in their theory (missing links)?
6. Scrabulous on facebook got pulled right about the same time I started to lose interest and stopped checking it. Coincidence? Actually, yes it is.
7. When I worked at Walmart, people were constantly stealing for us. Of course. At my current place of work, we’ve not had one issue with someone stealing things, and we deal with people that are often pretty down on their luck. I think our major security feature is the fact that our office is like a maze, so if someone were to think about stealing something, they would be afraid they wouldn’t be able to make a quick escape.
8. I babysat last minute from a family I know and love. The kids are well behaved, but apparently I’ve become the fun person, so they were incredibly wound up when I was there. You spend too much time connecting with a kid and making jokes with them, and they start to forget that you’re in charge!
9. Also while babysitting, the kids said that I look “different.” I hadn’t really planned on seeing anyone, so I just threw my hair back, and my eye makeup was starting to smudge. I guess they aren’t used to seeing me like that at the end of the day!
10. Yesterday I went to a hilarious website (I forgot who recommended it to me…if it was you, let me know and I’ll give you credit!) and laughed so hard that I cried. It’s not that unusual, but I’ve never done that when I was laughing silently (in order not to attract attention!
11. I’ve been making new friends thanks to the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival. If you haven’t checked it out, I recommend you do! Winning stuff is great (and I hope I do!) but making friends is better.
12. Irish gave me an “I Believe, Share the Magic” award today. I really appreciated what she said about me:
“Ronnica is so neat and more transparent on her blog than I could ever dream to be! And a South Paw just like me! She’s so very honest and interactive between herself and you the reader. I don’t even know how I stumbled onto hers, but she was doing this fantastic YOU, YOU, YOU post/meme. Just for fun I joined and we’ve been following each other and emailing ever since. (I still need to rent Mona Lisa Smile- that’s who she likened me to.)”
13. I’ve started to memorize I prayer from The Valley of Vision. It’s a great book of Puritan prayers. I’ve never memorized someone else’s prayers, but these are a great reminder of my own sinfulness and my Savior’s perfection.

Literally LOL here…on #1, doodling on your feet. You don’t know how many times I’ve drawn a face/mouth on my hands and make it a ‘puppet’. People think I’m crazy. Don’t call me crazy. You’ll see why with my #13. LOL
My 13 is posted…drop by and have a laugh or two! Won’t you?

A variety of things crossed your mind! An interesting read.
My TT has 13 posts without comments.

Hey, we both mentioned Scrabulous in our posts.
I know they have the real Scrabble game up, but I cannot play my dad in China. They have separate games for different parts of the world.

Great choice for TT! mine’ s up too hope you can drop by… Happy TT!
July 30th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
um… Darwin never said that fish grew legs. Biochemists and geneticists proved the science…. so…… Just like the fish goes back to biblical times as a short cut so does the fish with legs. I assume you an EV.
I haven’t been here before so it’s fun to learn a little bit about your week.
Happy TT.

Funny stuff. Hadn’t pulled that couch out in a while huh? Happy TT.

Congrats on the award! Those are always fun and a little uplifting after a rough week.
July 30th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Nice TT!
And you gave me a couple of fun links to follow – I love the TTs that keep on giving…
July 30th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
All good. God bless!

Yep, our handwriting’s atrocious!
How close are the songs from Valley of Vision to the actual prayers?

Hmmm, what do you mean by doodle on your legs. Do you draw pictures on them with colored markers like tatoos? I thought that was rather intriguing.
My 34th TT is up: 13 comments you can make to your physician while he’s performing a colonoscopy on you. Here’s the link.

blogging can enrich ourlives but steal our time

Cool post, I will be back to your blog it looks like fun! Kim

Great post! BTW, my favorite Papa John’s pizza is the spinach, alfredo, chicken, tomato on thin crust. Yum!
July 31st, 2008 at 8:08 am
Great list. Happy TT. You are right about the fish. Never thought about it that way…

That blog reminded me of when I bought a cake at a bakery for my sister’s baby shower. I had to tell the “cake decorator” FOUR times how to spell CONGRATULATIONS and she never got it right. That 15 minute interaction with her made my head hurt.

Happy TT! Lol about the coupon. That’s priceless. Makes me feel a little better about the way my house looks with a toddler running around it (i.e., like a tornado has ripped through our house).
PS: I like to doodle on myself, too. You’re not alone.

#5 – good point. Why emphasize a weak point in the theory?
Science has not proven Darwin…in fact it’s starting to line up against it!
I’m strongly considering starting a series on explaining Darwinism and what science has discovered. I’d appreciate it if you’d keep that in your prayers.

Darwin fish…mudskippers leave the water and hop across land sometimes. Do they count?
July 31st, 2008 at 8:55 pm
This isn’t a discussion to have here in the comments section of Ronnica’s blog. However, if you want to talk about it, I’d be glad to do so via email (its.sophie@yahoo.com) – or you can wait for my series on my blog (www.sophiesmindset.blogspot.com) to come at a later date. If you have any questions/specific topics you would like me to address in my series please email those to me as well. Just please make it clear if you want the issue addressed via email or on my blog!
Thanks. :-)

Can’t believe I missed the Giveaway Carnival!! Where have I been hiding? Too busy, I guess. Rats!
Looks like there were LOTS of great giveaways. Oh well, I’ll be there next time. :)
