So... what's up?

-I realize it's been like a month and a half since I've posted, but life gets busy and blogging falls to the back-burner. So, without further ado...

-I've been listening to a LOT of Les Mis lately. It's bringing back fabulous memories of high school. I had a ridiculous crush on Michael Ball (Marius). RIDICULOUS. His curly hair made my life SO happy! I've grown up a bit since then, and although I've still got a thing for curly hair, Michael Maguire's Enjolras' voice makes me swoon! And although I love the character of Cosette in every other version of Les Mis I've read/watched, I can't STAND her in the musical. I just don't like the way the music is written. She just sounds whiney. Blech.

-Do you have an igoogle page? If so, you TOTALLY have to get the "How-To Of the Day" gadget. It's the GREATEST thing invented. Except maybe indoor plumbing. Or air conditioning. Okay, so it isn't the GREATEST thing invented, but it's one of the greatest gadgets invented. It gives you 2 "How-To's" every day. And they're completely randomly selected. So it can be something incredibly useful (How to fix a clogged garbage disposal), or something CRAZY bizarre (How to draw a lizard in MS paint), or something that is bizarre and just a teeny bit dangerous (How to maintain an open fire in your home- which SOUNDS really dangerous and scary, but is really just fireplace safety). Every day is like a new surprise!

-I really like "Party in the USA". Pray for me.

-We've got a retreat in TWO WEEKS!!! I can't wait. We're going with Preston Road Church of Christ and it's going to be an amazing weekend!

-The BFF may or may not have put up one of the funniest movies that has ever been made up on her blog. Check it out for HORRIBLE videography and professionalism. SO FUNNY though. ;)

-I got a 24 Hour membership about two weeks ago and I love it. I took a Zumba class last week (where the lady kept encouraging us to swing our hips- something COMPLETELY foreign to a white, Church of Christ gal). My friend Ashley and I took a boot camp class today (I'm SORRY Ashley!!!) which completely kicked our bottoms and tomorrow we're going to take a hip-hop class. It's going to be AWESOME!

-I don't quite know HOW, but I've lost my camera. With LOTS of pictures on it. I don't have any clue where it is. So now I not only don't have pictures of the teens from the End of Summer Bash and Mere and I at the Botanical Gardens, I am going to HAVE to purchase a new camera soon. *sigh*

-Clinto and I took the teens to Six Flags yesterday and it was SO much fun! I haven't been to Six Flags since Bobby Moore was our youth minister in high school (WHOA!). The kids were shocked that I didn't grow up going, but we had Astroworld... why would we drive 4 and a half hours when we could drive 45 minutes? Anyways, I rode the Titan. I didn't really know what I was getting myself into until we were chugging up the GIGANTIC hill. I enjoy roller-coasters, so I figured it was just your regular old roller coaster. It was NOT. I actually blacked out at one point (didn't lose consciousness, just lost sight in my eyeballs). It was SO crazy and SO scary and COMPLETELY fun! We had a great time and I can't wait to go back!

-Crock-pot recipe of the week: Chicken and Rice (Ricky Ricardo's fav!)

-I'm still in awe of how blessed my life is! I pray I always recognize how God works in my life. What a mighty Lord we serve!
