Thirteen 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.
