Oh the weather outside is frightful...

Oklahoma has the strangest weather. Most of us just don't even want to hear the forecast anymore, because if we wait 5 minutes it will change. Drastically.


I'm convinced that last weeks forecast of 5-10 inches of snow was a conspiracy between the local media and local retailers. We got rain, but the shelves at the grocery store were empty. There was even news coverage of the empty shelves.

So, I say all that to share this.




It is 62 degrees on my back porch.

Happy January.

Stop, in the name of love!

What is wrong with this picture?



1000 Junk E-mail. Why?!?!?!

Update: The count is now up to 1251. (Feb. 3, 2007, 9 days post-post.)

How Could I Ask For More?

I know, it's the heading of my blog, but I'm feeling it today.

After a week of waiting, we got the news today that my Mom's cancer has NOT spread anywhere else in her body. PRAISE GOD!!!!!

We are heading to her house tonight for dinner and some grandkid time.

I'm so thankful today that I can't find much to say...

Mike posted a link on his blog to an article in the local paper. It was really nice, and I thought I'd make sure you saw it too.

Both of my kids are napping. The kitchen is clean(er). The snow is on the way. All I need to make the day perfect is a nap!! :)

XOXO

Do you ever wonder?

What's in a name? Especially a weird one that can't be found anywhere on anything. Except those new ornament places that do it while you wait. I love that. I bought 2 this year.

I found this on a random website. I was thinking about my new niece and what her name might be.

It's some site that eventually tries to get you to buy a report about your first and last name, blah blah blah. Here was the free version of my first name analysis:

• Though the name Jeanise creates the urge to understand and help people, we draw to your attention that it causes an emotional intensity and sensitivity that is hard to control.
• Your first name of Jeanise has given you a friendly, likeable nature, and you could excel in artistic, dramatic, and musical expression.
• With this name, you desire the finer things in life, but you do not always have the resolve and vitality to put forth the effort necessary to fulfil your desires.
• Your emotional feelings are easily affected and you will always be involved in other people's problems as a result of your overly sympathetic nature.

Sounds about right.

Ice Ice Baby

Yeah, I hate that song. But it's the best I can come up with.

My mom updated her website this week while she was iced in. There are some great pics of the kiddos!!

Mike was out of school Monday, Tuesday, and will be Wednesday because of ice that hit us Friday and over the weekend. It's like a mini vay-kay. I've been able to catch up on some work and we've had some fun family time.

Here's what I found tonight for the next 7 days:


I work at home! Let it snow!!!! :) It would be nice if we had something that Joel could actually PLAY in. He doesn't understand why the snow won't move. I keep telling him it's ice, but he keeps saying, "Look at all the beautiful snow!!!". Oh to have the wonder of a 3 year old again...
