Well it's been two weeks since my last blog and you deserve to know what's been going on in my life.
I have two days left in the second part time job I've had. Then I will be, once again, unemployed. Laurie is at this moment scanning an employment newspaper for leads.
As of tomorrow, Emma will have been sick with some kind of bug for 7 days. I didn't know you could be flu-sick for seven days. Laurie was sick for four days. Me and my mother in law, one day each. Nasty.
I'm watching an undervalued little show called "Pushing Daisies". It's quite something. Quirky, funny and a narrator who rhymes.
I'm in a Christmas play. I play a shy postman who goes off to war before realizing the joy of a loving relationship.
I'm going to be doing some holiday baking this year. As gifts, for a shower and for some random person who got my number from the post office bulletin board. Hooray for unorthodox advertising.
Fantasy football's regular season wraps up this week. We will make the playoffs but what state our team will be in... who can say?
New topic to come soon! Stay tuned! Use more exclamation marks!

Are Kiwis for real?
Had a pretty interesting discussion at work today. At lunchtime we got to talking about random facts. Did you know that the banana tree will not independently reproduce? Did you know that sparks fly when you crunch hard mints such as Wint-O-Greens or Certs?
A girl I was sitting with told me that kiwis are not a naturally occurring fruit. They were bred from two other fruits. She didn't say which. Why is it that people who taste things like to find undertones of flavor in them? I was watching Ellen last month and there was this guy raving about the subtle flavors you can taste in wines. Like chocolate, fruit, leather, tobacco and even dirt. Same for coffee. Apparently these drinks don't stand on their own. Do we really expect this from other foods? Cheese that tastes like shoe polish? Ice cream with a hint of wood? Water that reminds me of flowers? No thanks. I'll take my food tasting like it says on the package please.
Positives: Turning 30, not coughing for two days, Baby hugs.
Negatives: Pushing 235, when parts of my anatomy fall asleep, bugs in the house.

Fun Ahoy!
Well this is my favorite time of year. No kidding. I've always loved fall and autumness and all things from October through January 1st. It starts on the 3rd with my parents' anniversary.(thirty seven years)My mom's birthday on the eighth.(fifty six)Canadian Thanksgiving.(which I no longer remember)Halloween.(which was void of candy this year as our church did a reverse trick or treat)Next comes the Cypress Craft Bazaar.(94 dozen cookies sold this year at a cool $780)My birthday(the seventeenth)American Thanksgiving.(Dinner with the Suttons and football, football, football)Emma's 1st birthday.(Laurie is inviting all the other kids born within a couple months of each other in our circle of friends for a party with a tarp, some cake and a bunch of naked babies)And finally Christmas and New Year's round out the festivities.(we no longer give gifts, just charitable contributions)
Topic #4 Would Jesus have a beer with the guys?
I can only guess what is going through the heads of first time readers. No I'm not a drinker and no I'm not against alcohol for Christians. This is really just a forum for discussion. I have been quoted verse after verse, rule after rule and reason after reason as to the questionability of Christians imbibing alcohol and I've got to tell you, I can't find it anywhere. It's like gambling. We(the church) find these behaviors we don't agree with and we stretch to find biblical support to back it up. I'm not for freedom in all things and I'm not a grace monger. We have a responsibility to behave in a self controlled way, but that applies to so much more than what we put in our bodies. If people cared as much about raising their kids right as who does what in their homes, we'd not have the crisis of morality we're facing right now. My guess is that Jesus would go first, were he to come back, to the places we'd least expect him to. Including the local bar.
