Steven Curtis Chapman

I love Steven Curtis Chapman.  He is by far one of my favorite Contemporary Christian Music singers.  I don't normally post stuff like this, but I just read that his five year old daughter was killed this week when his teenage son accidentally ran her over in his car.   I definitely think we need to pray for this poor family.  How heart broken they must be!

YUM!! The best....

I just bought this soap.  It is delicious!!  I'm sure it gets me super clean but what I like most is that every time I walk into my bathroom it smells SO clean....it's a thin masquerade, I know, but it makes me feel really happy, like the pee around the toilet really isn't there and that little corner of mildew really isn't getting bigger!  Ahhhh...a soap that enables my denial....LOVE it!

You know it's your fourth....

when you put your baby down for his nap, snuggle his ear and think....wow, my baby smells like a hash brown AND neither give him a bath nor feel guilty for feeding a nine month old a greasy potato....yikes!!!!

Brad, Brad, Brad....

Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this but you are starting to look old....look at all that gray in your stubble, goatee thing.  And is it just me or is Angelina really starting to look like her wax figurine at Madame Tussauds?!  Either that speaks to the amazingness of their wax artist or the creepiness of her face....in her interview with Jack Black I'm not sure she was able to move her facial muscles!  Doesn't this smile look a little strained.....

NKOTB

Is it just me...or did this seem a little silly....

I was in the 4th grade when New Kids came out.  Just like my children, I led a pretty sheltered life and NKOB would have definitely been considered contraband!  One year I convinced a friend to buy me the "Tiffany" album for my birthday, which I promptly had to return for an Amy Grant album, I think I may still need therapy for this as I still vividly remember the humiliation of having to return the album. :0)

I recognize their songs but I don't really go ga-ga for them.  That being said, I do love me some Whalberg boys, enough said!  

I swear we are still breathing....

I am so sorry I have been so behind. There are so many times throughout the day that I stop and think "hey, I should post that on my blog..." but clearly I haven't made good on those thoughts!

Since I feel I am in an unpacking rut, (probably because all six of us now have strep!), I think I will finally respond to the "tag" Shelley put on on me :0) So here goes....
