Best Song Lyric

Okay...so I have somewhat stolen this idea from Emily's post. Although her's is genuinely work related, mine is because I am not so much feeling like working.

I am curious to find out what you think the best song lyric(s) of all time is. My pick is from an Ingrid Michaelson song called The Way I Am, and the line is, "I'll buy you Rogaine, when you start losing all your hair." I could listen to this song over and over just to hear this line.

What is your favorite lyric(s)?

Beeping

There is a beeping going on in my office right now. I can't figure out where it is coming from or what is causing it. I periodically sit perfectly still and try to flesh out the noise, but I have had no luck. Maybe I am losing my mind???? If I start giving you regular updates on the beeping noise, then you will definitely know that I am going mad.

Ten...Count Them...Ten

So, guess how long it takes to cook 10 VERY LARGE lasangas at 2 hours each. A couple of days if you want to actually factor in sleep.

On the plus side, they all turned out well.

I'm Finally Home!!!!!

So...I've been gone for a full week, and I am so glad to be home. It was absolutely wonderful to sleep in my own bed last night. I liked it so much, that it was super hard to actually get up and out of my bed this morning.

One of the places that I have been this past week is at the CEC Conference in Nashville. It was very informative. I thought I would share with all of you a little bit of what I learned.

1. Every preacher has the same voice. They must teach it in preaching school because every single pulpit minister that I listened to or visited with at CEC had the same inflection, appropriate pause due to an insightful comment, and metered speech that really makes the rest of us sound rather unintelligent.

2. Elvis does not live in Nashville. He apparently is from Memphis.

3. Hotel eating is even more expensive than Six Flags eating.

4. Ministers observe way too much decorum (and the majority have only a small sense of humor).

5. Church of Christers have a very hard time clapping in time with the music.

Lastly, I had an interesting experience at the banquet that was held on Tuesday evening. I was running a little late and came in just as they were getting ready to serve. Another gentleman was also coming in a little late, and so he walked in at the same time as I did. When I entered the room, I did not immediately see anyone I knew, and so I found a table with a number of empty spots and asked the table if I could join them. Well, this man that had walked in at the same time as me apparently decided he was my date (I had visited with him once in passing through the few days of the conference). He stayed right behind me and followed me as I circled the table trying to decide on a seat (truthfully, I was not having a hard time deciding on a seat, I was just trying to shake him off my tail). So, as I pick a chair that was separated slightly from the people who were already sitting there, he tried to pull my chair out for me, and then proceeded to sit down right next to me. My internal reaction was, "Dude, get away from me." It was at that point that I desperately looked around at any other table that had spots open to see if I knew ANYONE at those table. I found one that fit my requirements and made a hasty excuse about seeing the people I was trying to locate and left the table. Anyone who knows me knows I have major space issues (specifically, I have a dance zone), and this man REALLY invaded my dance zone.

Who Knew?

Okay...so I have a few things to confess.

#1--I have the channel Soapnet on my T.V.

#2--I am embarrassed to admit that I actually record a show on Soapnet.

#3--That show is The O.C.

#4--I did not see the show when it was originally airing on Fox.

#5--Now I find that I am curious to know if Marissa and Ryan are to end up together. Or, if Summer or Anna will win Seth's affections.

#6--Yes, I am now officially an O.C. addict.

Be Gone Mesh Shirt...Be Gone

Oh. My. Goodness. People are still wearing mesh shirts.

So, I was watching Project Runway last night, and the designers are heading off on a field trip to the Hershey Store. As they are walking down the streets of New York, I see that Rami (one of the best designers) is wearing a MESH SHIRT. No. Kidding. I didn't think that they continued making mesh shirts past 1992.

Just in case you desire to see the nightmare yourself, I have put a link below. The mesh shirt appears at exactly 4 minutes and 5 seconds from the end of Part 1.

Simply because I am on the topic of mesh shirts, I do have to point out the best use of a mesh shirt in a motion picture. Do you recognize what film this is from?

Only 10 Hours...Give or Take a Few Minutes

So, I got up yesterday morning (New Year's Day), took a shower, got dressed, and headed off to work. I arrived at the church to a very empty parking lot. I was a little confused. So, I called one of the church secretaries only to find out that the office was closed. I'm not sure how I missed that announcement, but listening is not always one of my strengths.

So, it was 9am, and I was left with a whole day of nothing planned. So, I decided to finally sit down and read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (the 7th book). When it first came out in July, I didn't have time to read it. So, I read that last few chapters so that I could see how it ended. I was heavily chastised for that.

To all of those who chastised me, I would now like to proudly proclaim that I have read the ENTIRE book. It only took me about 10 hours. Yes, I literally sat there all day and did nothing but read, but it was totally and completely worth it.

I am absolutely astounded at what a brilliant mind J.K. Rowling must have to be able to weave such a complex story over 7 very thick books. As disappointed as I was to know this was the final Harry Potter book, J.K. Rowling seems to have completed the story. All of the unanswered questions have been answered and placed to rest.

So, the 10 hours I spent reading were undeniably worth it.
