Neal Boortz on the UN

I just have to say that I completely agree with what Neal Boortz had to say today about the UN. The UN is anti-American and the U.S. really needs to re-evaluate its involvement in the organization. The more I read about what the UN is doing, the more annoyed I get. So, yes, let's start a new international organization of nations and pull out of the the UN.

Christmas Songs in August?

Yes, I'm already singing Christmas songs; however there is a catch. We always like to make fun of the "Little Drummer Boy" song because it really is hard to sing in Choir. It's "the" Christmas Carol to make fun of. Because of this, a couple of Christmases ago I started to sing it something like this: I like tequila but please give me some rum. I had sangria but always prefer to have rum. This pina colada's great 'cause it's made with some rum. I like my coke 'case it goes well with my rum. Rum rum rum rum, rum rum rum rum... Me and my rum rum...

It gets everyone laughing here.

So Sad About Owen Wilson

I was soo bummed to see a news article claiming that Owen Wilson had attempted to commit suicide. He is such a fun actor and one of my favorites. I really hope that it either isn't true or that if it is, he gets the help he needs to get better.
On another note, I think that I ruined one of our nice cooking pots. I was outside in the backyard talking to my neighbor and forgot that I had put the green beans on the stove. After a while, I remembered that I had to check on them and when I went inside to check, the water in the bottom of the pot was completely gone and the beans on the steamer basket portion had begun to burn. Yuck! Now the bottom of the pot seems to be lumpy.

Favorite Day

Sunday is my favorite day. Not only do I get to sleep in until 8:00 a.m., we also go to church. Some quotes from today's Scripture readings: "My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when reproved by him; for whon the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges."

Also: "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" He answered them, "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough."

Saw the Movie

Well, we watched that movie "The number 23" and had some fun with it and the whole idea of The Number 23. For example, we found that we rented the movie on 8/24/07 and that 24-8+7=23. Too weird huh?

Hello

Hello,

This is my first blog entry. Not sure if anyone is out there but I thought I'd try this out. Right now I have a dog barking, a young child running around in his underwear wanting help getting ready for bed, another child asking me if I have time to help them out and another one outside in the garage making the dog bark. Where is the hubby? Watching that Snakes on the Plane movie in the master bedroom. As soon as I get the youngest children in bed, I think that we'll be watching the movie "The Number 23." I'm not sure what to expect but it has Jim Carrey in it so I thought I'd give it a try. If anyone has any techniques to help me get my barking dog to stop barking...Maybe I need to get the Dog Whisperer out here.
