What did you say?

Isn’t it funny how what you hear isn’t always what was said? I think there must be some deep life application in there somewhere….

So here’s how it went down last night. At bedtime the hubby and I were laying in bed talking for a few minuets. He said something to the effect of “I’m so glad you know me – you really know everything about me better than anyone else in my life.”  That’s nice right?

Here  is the second part of that sentence….at least how I HEARD it. “You are good in the bed and you’re ugly” I’m sorry……What did you say?

Here is what he actually said; “The good, the bad and the ugly” NOW it makes much more sense! Guess I didn’t hear  right at all. We laughed for a long time about that one!

Moral of the story……Did I really hear what I think I heard?

Flippin Arkansas….

Did you know there was a city in Arkansas named Flippin? That’s right….Flippin Arkansas. I googled it and I came up with Flippin Weather, Flippin Gas prices, Flippin High School and then…..the jackpot.

Wait for it…….

Preach it!

I found this over at Purgatorio….all I can say is AMEN brother. Preach it!

Is anyone else sick of this stuff yet?

Product Description
Blessed are the shopping list scrawlers and the test takers when their pencils are topped with one of these replicas of Jesus. Handsomely detailed with a red robe and arms outstretched in blessing or prayer. Five 1-1/4 inch tall, soft vinyl Jesuses on each illustrated blistercard. Sigh…….
I’m tired of the endless supply of STUFF that gets labled as Christian and made to seem worth purchasing simply because it has Jesus associated with it. It almost reminds me of a story found in the Gospels…..involving Jesus and some money changers in the temple…..but I won’t go there….yet

Humility

Kids will ALWAYS keep you humble! We are in the middle of a drought, so I’ve been having my daughter take showers with me at night instead of filling up the tub and giving her a bath.  It’s been fun and enjoyable… most of the time. What I can do without, however, are the questions and comments that humble me!

I’m not sure which I hated more, the  conversation which went something like this: Her –  ”Mommy, why is your butt soooo much bigger than mine?”   Me- “Just wait kiddo, just wait!”  Or, the one we had a few weeks ago….”Mommy, you sure have a jiggly tummy!”

So, I guess I’ve been sufficiently humbled! Bring on the world…..I get my hard knocks at home!

Umm…Could be because I am!

So last night I was sitting on the bed with the laptop doing some bloggy stuff. Hubby says he is going to take a shower and I just wasn’t paying attention. When I looked up I noticed he had taken off his glasses and I’m just not used to seeing him without them anymore so I said “wow, you look almost naked!”  He starts laughing at which point  I realized he was standing there in his underwear……Probably not the most intelligent sounding sentence I’ve ever uttered! I quickly explained that I had meant without his glasses, but he still thought it was pretty funny!

I’m nothing if not an intelligent conversationalist!
