I Have a Question …

2 Feb

Today’s question is …

Have you gone a day without your cell phone?

It’s actually rare that I go a day WITH my cell phone. In fact, ask my family – I have a cell phone, but I rarely use it, and it annoys the ever-loving crap out of my husband. In fact, I HATE talking on the phone, which is ironic considering I have a job where I’m ON THE PHONE all day, every day.

*sigh*

Your turn …

Shower Walls

1 Feb

We have them.

Bathroom 2-1-12

I know it doesn’t look it? But the room is actually turning out to be bigger than I imagined. Of course, we don’t have the sink in there yet …

Still not crazy about the shower head on the back like that … but that’s as good as it gets, I’m afraid.

The construction guys taped off where our mirror will go …

Bathroom 2-1-12

Picture a small (think SMALL) sink/cabinet under the mirror. The electrician is supposed to come by tomorrow – we’re putting sconces on either side of that pretend mirror.

The guys also knocked out the back bathroom wall …

Back Bathroom 2-1-12

We’re moving that toilet and putting it up against the wall. The tub will go back in the area behind the toilet and the shower you see there now? Will be gone and we plan on putting a huge cabinet in that space for dirty clothes and bathroom “stuff.”

The guys are making progress. I have yet to even meet them. They always come after I leave for work and are gone before I get home from work. I told Kevin to thank them for keeping everything so CLEAN. I can’t believe how nice they clean up after themselves. It’s like we don’t even know anything is going on – they just shut the door and *POOF* no construction mess.

I’ll link to our construction guys when this is all over … I’d like to give them a fair critique of their work, but so far? I’m very pleased.

This is How My Oldest Son Treats Me

Not much has changed these past 19 years.

I’m still a dweeb and he still ignores me.

Audio Teaching: Gifts of Grace (Romans 12)

1 Feb

by Dan Gallagher
God tells us that each of us should use whatever gift he or she has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace (1 Peter 4:10). Gaining a greater understanding of our personal gifts should help us to be more effective in administering God’s grace to the rest of the Body of Christ.

Traditionally, much focus has been placed upon the equipping ministries of Ephesians 4:11 (the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher). In this teaching Dan Gallagher provides new insights and a fresh perspective on the various gifts listed in Romans 12 (the Perceiver, Server, Teacher, Encourager, Giver, Leader, and Mercy Giver). We believe you will enjoy learning about the characteristics, strengths and weaknesses of each of these gifts, and possibly learn some new insights about your own gifts of grace.

We Have a Shower … Sort Of

31 Jan

IMG_1164

Kevin said they tore down the shower wall. They actually gave the toilet area, and the sink area, two more inches. I’m SO relieved on that front. However, the fly in the ointment is that they didn’t have enough room on the left wall to put the shower head – that wall is actually the back side of our rock fireplace. And the other wall, the wall on the right, next to where the toilet is going to go, is too skinny, so, that only leaves the back wall. This means, the shower head is going to be spraying toward the shower curtain.

Hmmm …

I’m not exactly thrilled with that, but we really don’t have a choice, otherwise; we’ll just have to make sure the curtain remains IN the shower so we don’t soak the entire bathroom floor.

I’m hoping the light is NOT going to remain where it is now because … ugh, that would IN the shower. We’re actually planning on putting two sconce lights on either side of the the oval mirror we plan on putting above the small sink. I’m also sweet talking Kevin into putting a recessed light above the toilet area so people are not having to do their business in the dark.

They placed the shower base in today and worked on re-routing the plumbing. I have no idea what they have planned for tomorrow. It’s sort of fun to leave the house with it looking one way and coming home to a bunch of changes at the end of the day.

I’m thankful that Kevin’s job is flexible enough that he’s able to come home and check on them periodically.

Why I Don’t Like Romney

31 Jan

He’s a watered-down Obama. He tells you what you want to hear. He’s “moderate.” And quite frankly folks, this country has had ENOUGH moderate politics.

It’s time to play hard ball – we need a conservative in office who’s not afraid to stand up to political correctness. You want this country back on track? Then stop being pansy-asses and take a stand against the nonsense that is going on around you right now.

It’s time to rip off the short-term Band-aids that Democrats are famous for when dealing with “difficult” issues and start building toward long-term solutions. This means TOUGH CHOICES and CUT BACKS.

Stop the whining – America is SICK of the whining.
