ibc, beads, and weddings

interesting combination huh? but that pretty much sums up my thursday evening. i might have mentioned needing some girl time. i might have mentioned i was getting some last thursday night!! well, i did and i had a blast and i can't wait for another girls night.

it started with trying to help dear friend get rid of her beads. she likes to get rid of things so once she opens stuff up she obsesses about how to finish using it. well, a year ago or so she got way into beading, but realizing she had made bracelets for any and every female she knows she was desparately trying to part with her bead collection. after about an hour of just gazing at them and trying to figure some of her things out, i started making lovely earrings. because we are geeky i made us a matching set. then dear friend got pretty excited when she learned i had 3 holes in one ear and 2 in the other and went a little nuts making me some more beautiful earrings. then i had to put them all in......i was a sight to behold that's for sure!!!

then we broke out the ibc diet root beer. we decided to live on the wild side and drink it out of the bottles. she said it makes her feel naughty and well....that was what we were going for:)

then of course what is a girls night without a chickflick...so we picked out the wedding planner and laughed and cried and yelled at the guy and loved every moment of it. we talked about how wonderful our hubbies are....

about 11:45 i decided to head home. i think i had laughed myself silly and enjoyed being all me - geeky, silly, naughty...you name it!!!

so thanks dear friend for a great night...

and i apologize to all in blogger land because i was supposed to wear my matching earrings to church today and totally forgot. i showed them to hubby after church. he seemed very surprised to know i had so many holes. i'm not sure how he didn't know, but i had probably stopped wearing earrings in all of them by the time we met and just never thought to tell him. i asked if it would have changed anything and he just looked at me like i was a freak. it is just holes in my ear!!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
