Your Inner Power

Uniqueness- Your inner power is Uniqueness! You are very different from everyone around you, and you like it that way. In fact, youd be furious if you were anything else. To the world outside you are a buoyant, fun loving person, and are probably pretty popular. Yet deep down you feel the urge to be accepted as who you are, and desperately want someone who is truly there for you. You are very indecisive and change your mind regularly over just about anything. Youre very opinionated, and bulldoze over anyone who doesnt share your views. At times you can be very depressed, though few people realise it with your animated personality. You are great fun to be around, and enjoy shocking people with your out there views and beliefs. At times however, your urge to be different can work against you, as people dont often enjoy their ideas of right and wrong having any shades of grey. But dont let them get to you; youre an awesome person who many love. You have no doubt heaps of friends, but dont always have that close friend/s that you want and need. You strive to be accepted for who you are, and are protective and loyal to those who earn your trust. Although at times you think there may be no one there, look around. There is someone in the shadows who desperately wants to be your friend, who maybe you just havent noticed. Dont let anyone get you down, youre the one who gives this boring world excitement and culture. Keep it up! Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet: Someone different and independent. Someone who isnt your typical male/female, who can accept that not everything has to be black and white, and yes, there are many, many shades of grey. Your stone/jewel: Amethyst Your power: Difference/Change. This is the ability to make a difference in the world, to create new ideas and opinions, and to open up the minds of others to show that there is more than one shade of grey. Your element: Electricity/Lightening A quote that applies to you: "Id much rather to be hated for who I am than loved for who Im not."

Story

This is a funny story I have been intending to posting sense St. Patricks day, I hope you find it funny.


Jacques Chirac, The French Prime Minister, was sitting in his office wondering what kind of mischief he could perpetrate when his telephone rang.
"Hallo, Mr.. Chirac!", a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Sligo, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"

"Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

"Right now," said Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, me cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire dart team from the pub. That makes eight!"

Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have one hundred thousand men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Begorra!" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back!"

Sure enough, the next day, Paddy called again. "Mr.. Chirac, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Chirac asked. "Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor."

Chirac sighed, amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I've increased my army to one hundred fifty thousand since we last spoke."

"Saints preserve us!" said Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you."

Sure enough, Paddy rang again the next day. "Mr... Chirac, the war is still on!" We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Pub have joined us as well!"

Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to two hundred thousand!"

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back."

Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Top o' the mornin',

Mr..Chirac! I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well," said Paddy, "we've all had a long chat over a bunch of pints, and decided there's no foo-kin way we can feed two hundred thousand prisoners!"

The Sureal Life

Never before have we been so close to a violent situation as we were yesterday with a good friend of ours and a coworker of Charles, Sean was on his way to work when he was rear ended by another car he pulled over to do the normal checks then the other guy took off. Sean then got back into his car and followed the guy to get his license plate number to call into the police. They turned into an apartment complex where the other guy then rammed his car then took off on foot when he couldn't get his car going again. Sean called the police and they came out and did a police report. The police left and just as he was getting back into his car the guy came back (hit him with a gun, they were wrestling for it) and then stabbed him 7 times. Praise God he is doing ok, he is young with a young family and a very nice man. The police did catch the man who did this and he is being held on many felony's, I hope he gets many years.

One long week

It has been one of those weeks where I have been to the emergency room twice with a friend who was having problems with her diabetes, plus taking care of her kids, Praise God everything has been worked out.
My SIL (sorry Sheri I can't link this with the MAC I have at work) ;) has been talking about reflection today and what kind of legacy we will leave for our family I am so glad that during these times of looking back my children will know I love the Lord and that I loved them very much.

Note...

Well I thought I would update really quick what do you write when your life is blowing by you. Between taking the kids here and there for fun and service projects for their youth group and work and church..... whew! I am excited for Saturday we are finally getting to do our Valentines thing it just happened to be the time when all of us could get together and all go out. We are getting together with 2 other couples and going out to a movie (The Pink Panther) and then to dinner and a very nice Italian resturant with a View of the Sound, it is such a beautiful place.

I am teaching the next 3 weeks it is so nice to be on a schedule of 3 weeks on and 3 weeks off, and Charles does the sound board at church and has the same schedule as I do so it is really nice to be able to sit together in church on the weeks that we aren't busy.

We are supposed to be going to a family snow day after church this Sunday, we will see with how cold it has been aound here lately and the snow we have had they keep closing the passes. I will let you know. Well the lights keep flashing so I had better send this befor we loose them.

Robbed

We were Robbed of this Super Bowl victory by some very bad calls, first of all we had a touch down taken from us and then the Steelers had a touchdown given to them that they didn't deserve, ok I will give you there were 2 field goals that we missed (darn kicker) that may have been the make or break game for us but not the Bad call. Lets go Next year GO SEA HAWKS!

Excitement

The excitement in this city has come to a fever pitch, there isn't one conversation that doesn't have some mention to the SEAHAWKS. What are you doing? Are you going to watch the game?....
Everyone is so excited to have the possibility of winning the Super Bowl. We are down as the long shots and that Pittsburgh will beat us.... We will see!
Now for more Seahawks fever,

GO SEAHAWKS!

To A Keeper

TO A KEEPER!

One day someone's mother died. And on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of her bedroom, the daughter was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more. No more hugs, no more lucky moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away . . never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I Love You."

So while we have it . . . it's best we love it . . .. and care for it and fix it when it's broken . . . and take good care of it when it's sick. This is true for marriage .... family and friendships .... And children with bad report cards; And dogs with bad hips; And aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we cherish them .

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

Life is important, so are people we know... and so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'KEEPER'!
Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.

Thank you very much for being a special part of my life!
YOU ARE A KEEPER!
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today. .. I did.

Thoughts...

I went to a funeral this weekend in support of a friend of mine from church who lost her mom unexpectedly, (she came in and found her mom just sitting on the couch with her lunch in her hand, it was very quick) and I listened as the pastor talked all about this woman, about how she had nothing to give her family in her passing. She had no inheritance to give them, but what she did give them was worth more than money, money comes and goes and can be gone in a flash with nothing to show for it, she gave them a legacy of Love. The family had such stories of love and tenderness and how Dottie would go way out of her way for them it was beautiful. It made me realize what I hope to leave behind for my children.
A legacy of Love.
God Bless the family of Dorothy Jelvik.

GO SEAHAWKS

All I can say for that game yesterday was that it was almost boring, I am not complaining but I did expect it to be a closer game. Anyway
WE ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

Records

I just thought that I would make a few comments, First of all "Good Job, Seahawks" let's go all of the way, just 1 more game to get through to go to the big time. Second We just missed breaking our record for having the most straight days of rain the record is 33 and we just missed by 6 days, Yesterday was quite a lovely day but it would have been fun to beat a record from 1953.

This weekend was fun we got to go to a baptism for Tennae and Aathina then celebrate afterwards with them in going out to dinner. It was so nice. That is it in a nutshell.

New Years

This is my first post of the new year, I am so excited. I haven't gotten to mention how much fun we had over the New Year. On the eve of the new year Charles and I went to a themed "70's" fondue party there was hot oil for cooking our meat (steak, chicken, and Italian sausage) which had several different dips. There was also cheese for dipping veggies and bread chunks and there was of course a chocolate fountain for all 0f chocolate dippers like angel food and pound cake, fruit (strawberries, pineapple and bananas) there were cookies and pretzels, marshmallows.... it was so much fun fonduing. We then sat around playing "70's" pop trivial pursuit and listening to "70's" music. Oh boy did it bring back fond memories from a more simple time. LOL
We toasted in the New Year and then came home hoping we would get to drive through a check point but there weren't any, bummer! It was the first New Years Eve party Charles and I have been to in years it was very nice.
On New years day we had family over to watch football and take naps and just have a good laugh or two. The New Year is starting out great!
