a long, long time....

so it has been...
there's been a lot on my mind and i haven't been able to put it into words....
i still don't think i can, but here are some random tidbits from my life....

i've noticed on occasion that the kids at work tend to fall asleep faster at nap time if we're playing classical music rather than any old music. so i brought in my prince caspian soundtrack (which is not classical, but it's wordless....plus, i really like the songs at the end of it). this was a bad idea, because it made me want to watch the movie. if you've been reading for awhile, or if you know me, then you know the my love for narnia. and after i saw caspian in theaters (3 times....it's a long story), i wrote this about it. i wasn't a fan at first, but it grew on me. anyway, i finally went and bought it. and watched it the first chance i had. i just love it. everytime i watch or read the movies or books, i find something new to learn. it speaks to me in a new way everytime. so many levels. they just get better and better each and every time.

the weather up here is being a bit of a tease. i like cold and all.....when it's winter and when there's snow. if i'm going to be living further north than ga and it's going to be cold, i need to have snow! none of this one day it's 50-something or higher and the next it's 30 or lower. nope. make a decision, mr. weather. speaking of the weather, i'm soo ready for spring. blue skies. warm weather. the sun. no coat. mmm...

we had a book fair at work last week. and i gave into temptation.

i made chocolate chip cookies the other day and they came out more cake like than cookie like. i still can't figure out what i did wrong, but they stil tasted good, so oh well.

you should know by now that i'm doing beth moore's esther study because i think i've mentioned it at least once a post since i started it. i think it's cool that i'm going to be doing this study during purim, which is the jewish holiday commemorating esther. at school, the kids will come dressed in costumes and we'll have parties. lots of fun :)

i made cupcakes for church on valentine's day. it was my first experience making coca-cola cake, but i think it came out pretty good. here's what they looked like:
the mess i made making them....
the really cute v-day cupcake holders i bought at target :)
all the lovely cupcakes!
coca-cola and butter cake with 4 diff kinds of frosting...

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
