Catching up...

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
I was preparing for today with my Aunt Sharon for 2 days beforehand... making pies, scones, rolls, and more. Yummm :) Afterwards, Daniel played on an airplane simulator of Uncle Ken's, and then we watched Brian Regan. After a few rounds of Bananagrams, we headed home. Dad is reading "Gone Away Lake" right now, and it's really hard to concentrate on the reading whilst I write here.

Since I wrote last, I saw what was purportedly a Russian Folk-rock concert, but it was really more Pop-folk. The band, Spasenie, came from Belarus and is currently on tour in the U.S. I love their song, Paper Boat :)  Many of the songs that they played were in Russian, but they had English lyrics up.

Que irritante!

I just heard this really awesome song, Desperate (by Fireflight), on Air1, but iTunes hasn't got it :(
Aaaand nobody has the lyrics either.
Sigh.
*~*~*~*~*~
I am learning to play "Meant to Live" and "More Than Fine" by Switchfoot. Long live drop D!

Hmm, not much went on this week. Helped out with Operation Christmas Child on Monday & Tuesday, and packed my shoebox on Wednesday. I used the EZ give option (www.samaritanspurse.org ...  Advertising? Who, me? Perish the thought!) so I shall be able to track my box and see where it's going.

I'm reading Desiring God by John Piper (yes, Diisle, I really am reading it), but I'm not beginning at the beginning... I suppose that's where I started to read, but the following chapters just looked so interesting...

Hey A. G., help me out here. Who are you? Do I know you, or did you just stumble across my little blog?

QOTD: Fish and visitors stink in three days. ~ Benjamin Franklin
(Note: Especially if you don't let them use your shower! :P )
SOTD: A Message ~ Coldplay

I just watched Up again on the big screen and remembered why I loved it so much. Sigh... love that's pure is hardly seen at all in the movies anymore.

Isn't this clever?

What is UP with abortion?
Who do some people think they are?
Why do they think it's okay to sacrifice their children on an altar of self-centeredness?
UGH.
This world is really messed up.
QOTD: (see third "why" above)
SOTD: Broken Inside - (We as Human) This song makes me cry. A pro-life anthem.

Nothin' much going on, but I want to put a QOTD and SOTD so here they are.

*un*Halloween parties are fun :D

Friday was my church's unHalloween party - so  so much fun! I played Ultimate Frisbee better in my dress than I play in my regular clothes... mountainball by strobe light messes with your head, but wheen you dance it looks like you're in an old-time movie :)
More later (probably-ish)... only have about 10 min. left on compy.
