Family Prayer Requests

First up, my Grandmother had surgery on one of her feet last Friday. I'm not sure exactly why, but her toes on both of her feet have started "shifting" and so, one foot at a time, she is having steel rods placed in her toes to straighten them out. She had the first foot done this past Friday, and in 6 weeks, she will have the other one done. I talked to her Friday night and she was doing alright, granted her foot was starting to wake up, so she was just beginning to feel the repercussions of such a pleasant procedure. I'm not really sure what to ask for you to pray, other than that God would be with her, and that the pain would be minimal.

Next, just before my Grandmother went into surgery, she received a phone call. That phone call was to let her know that her son, my biological father, had been in a motorcycle accident and had several injuries. He has a broken arm, which had to have surgery. Steel rods and metal plates are holding his arm together because, while they could get it set, it wouldn't stay. He has, obviously, several scrapes and bruises, road burn, and 4 broken ribs. Please pray that his arm and ribs heal nicely, he wouldn't experience too much pain, and will be able to enjoy our upcoming Disney experience to the full extent!

Finally, my brother has Swine Flu. Or so I've heard. I believe he started showing symptoms on Saturday, and is still sick today, Monday. Please pray that he would get over this quickly, and will be able to catch up with school easily.

Also, since my parents and sister live in the same house as my brother, please pray that they would not get this sickness, or that, if they already have, they would get over it quickly.

Blockbuster Online

So, I recently signed up for blockbuster online. I started with the 2 week free trial, and then I went with the one movie at a time, unlimited per month plan. So far, I'm loving it!! I have seen all of the Tyler Perry movies, which are hilarious, and I just saw "I Love You, Man" which was crazy hilarious! I did see "Dance Flick" which was TERRIBLE!!! As I knew it would be, but the main storyline for this spoof was "Save The Last Dance," which I love, so I had to see this. What a waste! Next up is "The Reader" starring Kate Winslet. This movie, as well as Kate Winslett, got several nominations so it ought to be pretty good. We shall see. Well, that's all for tonight folks.

Btw, in the coming months, my blogs will probably be more personal, and not so much of this random Wii and Blockbuster shout outs. Just so you know.

Rain Rain Go Away...Come Again In 10 More Days

It rained here for a week and a half straight. It was depressing, really. Then, one morning I wake up to find that my friend sent me a text asking if I was alright. I knew she meant from the rain, but I still thought that was strange. I mean, sure, there was a river running along one side of our yard, flowing into the one going down the sides of the street, but was I ok? Of course. It wasn't until I got on the internet the next day, and on my home page there was an article about a family who jumped from their home in order to save their lives, that I realized that while I might be ok, there were some families who weren't. So, while I thought the rain was depressing in a gloomy sort of way, there are families who found the rain depressing in a whole other way. Above are some pictures that were taken in this area. The one of the roller coaster is at Six Flags Over Georgia.

Disney!!!

So, all along I have known that I would be leaving for Disney on October 4th, but up until just the other day, I did not realize that that day was only 9 DAYS AWAY!!! Holy crap where did the time go?!? Who cares?!?! I'm going to DISNEY!!! Begin Countdown.....

9

That's a really lame 9.

........

I have sooo many things to blog about, but I just CAN'T! Not yet, anyway. Life decisions are being made and I am totally PUMPED!!! I know, I know. I've said that before, but this time all of the ducks are in a row; I just have to bite the bullet and go for it! So, that's all for now. Wish me luck!!

Prayer Requests:
A good, decent roommate
Money all falls into place
New job

Vampire Diaries

There's this new show on the CW called "Vampire Diaries." It is very intriguing and I LOVE it!! It's about this young woman, named Elena, who has two vampires in her midst. One of them, who does not feed on humans, is in love with her and the other, his brother who does feed on humans, is very evil and trying to make the "good" vampires life miserable. So, we have sibling rivalry, forbidden love, a character with psychic abilities, and the all-too-familiar high school drama going on making for one amazing show. If you haven't taken part in this awesome, mysterious show, you are definitely missing out!! You can catch up on the first two episodes on cwtv.com. Be sure you check those out before this Thursday at 8/7c so you can be up to speed for episode 3. You won't be disappointed!

Lovin' Me Some Wii Fit

So, I started my Wii Fit a couple of weeks ago and I have lost about 3lbs since then. That is exciting. I also feel myself getting stronger, and am noticing a difference in my forearms. On the other hand, my back is killing me. On Wii Fit, you can do yoga, which includes a lot of stretching of your back. Well, now my back hurts. I'm hoping this is a good thing, because I feel like I am growing a hunchback. Goody. Overall, though, Wii Fit is not only helpful, it's also fun. Check it out.

In addition, I have also started a new quiet time, or devotional time. I am doing "Jesus: 90 Days with the One and Only" by Beth Moore. I have never done a Beth Moore study, but I know several people who have and they love them. The one I am doing isn't really a bible study as it is a devotional time. I like it because it doesn't take a lot of time, and yet you still get a lot out of it. If you have never done one of her studies like this, I highly recommend it.
