I was really hoping to write my post on my husband’s new fancy pants Mac.  It has this huge screen and it’s sitting on our kitchen table which is higher than a normal desk so when you type, you look up at the screen.  And since it’s new and shiny and enormous it makes whatever you are doing look grand and important.

I thought it would be cool to write my post on it so whatever I wrote would be grand and important as well, but apparently someone didn’t get the sharing memo.   This means I’m relegated to the mediocre laptop with the run of the mill processing speed, lackluster memory, and adequate screen size.  Now my writing will be steeped in mediocrity which I will blame entirely on my husband and his seagull like “mine” syndrome.

I’m pretty sure I was tagged to do the 25 random things but I’ve already done 10 random things from before, so does that mean I should only do 15 new ones or should I just scrap it all and start with 25 new things…these are the questions that plague the minds of men…wo-men.

Nah. Let’s write about the recent things that have caused me to faux poke out my eye.

Sometimes when I walk up the stairs on my way to work, with my iPhone music turned up really loud, and the Kooks are singing to me

All of us, we’re going out tonight we’re going to stomp all over your cars, the kooks are out in the street, oh we’re going to steal your skies,

and it’s a beautiful morning and I can see the ocean through the trees and I just want to dance.  Just a little bit, not like full on choreography or anything. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s this?  A new posting?  It’s only been like…6or 7 months since the last one.  Why now?

Well, I’m glad you asked, let me explain…

So we’ve found a church, sort of.  It doesn’t meet all of our criteria but it does hit some of the big ones, so we’re here for now.  And by here, I mean Hope Community Church (I’ll save my description for a later date).  Since the new year, our pastor has been doing this series which has me thinking a lot lately.

Me…thinking…shocking, I know.
