FAMOUS


F IS FOR FAMOUS

So because I am a scrapper, and I am a celebrity scrapper blog stalker like the rest of the scrappin world. I too did a self portrait photo shoot. Fun fun fun.....I think it's a cool picture, I got a couple cool ones. Ali Edwards made the challenge so like the rest of the scrappin sheep I had to do it. Posted by Hello Ahhh yes famous. The scrappin world is full of famous people. I even know a couple. But my peeps know who I know, and the famous folks know who they are, lets not go and name drop right here on my blog. Besides if I really do know famous folks, they will be readers of my blog and they will actually comment. Ok heres what makes you famous. Being published more than twice in a scrappin magazine, being published in a local newspaper at least once a year or so that would make you famous. Theres other ways to be famous. But you people know who you are so just leave me some comments and then everyone will know yes, Jodi knows famous folks, her name dropping is leggit! Now celebrity status is much bigger than famous, and those are the people who have blogs that are amazingly inspiring, and their blog entries get like 50 comments a day. I won't name drop with those folks, because I don't know them, but wow if they are stalkers of my blog, I could then call my obsession leggit. I wouldn't call my blog all that inspiring, funny upon occasion, thought provoking maybe, but I don't think I've reached inspiration, unless you call that big headed picture inspiring. Ha.....Tomorrow I feel a blog coming on about the big F word. Get ready because it should be good!

F is for FREEDOM!

Freedom: Can mean a lot of things. Like my belief in God, gives me freedom from a lot of worry, because I know God will take care of me. What do people who don't beleive do? Do they just worry about crap all day? I can't imagine. Freedom is living in a country where we are free to worship however we see fit. Freedom is having a "listen to you body" day, of which is today, exhaustion and lack of sleep caught up with me so here I am. Gotta have one of those days every once in a while I learned that from my friend Weezer. Thanks Weezer! Creative freedom, I am spending way too much time here, and here, the books they recommend are full of really cool creative fun stuff, I need to have those. Or maybe just one. Live out Loud would be cool. And for photography and inspiring words I go here. Sure glad so many folks are blogging these days, just keeps me at my computer longer. Ha!

Fire: Camp fires are so awesome, warm and they smell so good. Kids sure do love to play in fire. We have taught those littel cubscouts well and no one got burnt, they know if a sticks in the fire it stays in the fire. With camp fires come Smore, gooey sticky yumminess! Oh and we made Banana boats more sticky yumminess.

I promise to do something creative today, and I'll post whatever creation comes out of me. Even if it's a cool recipe.

P-man loving the outdoors! Posted by Hello
Doesn't get any cuter than this! He had a blast this weekend, campin out with the cub scouts!

Sunday, April 17, 2005

E....humm..how about F?

Haven't I done enough with E already? I think so How about we move on to F, If I think of anymore E's I'll throw them in, no rules it's my blog!

F is for FANTASTIC!

As in fantastic weekend. Work has been annoying, just boring office crap, and politics you'll get it anywhere. So a fantastic weekend was very welcomed. Ron had National Guard this weekend so P-man and I were on our own. Camping with the scouts was our activity of choice. I being the procrastinator extraordinary, I had NOTHING ready to go to leave on Friday after work. Heck by Thursday night I had decided it'd be too cold at night to camp and I wasn't going, by Friday morning I had changed my mind back to going.........can someone say ADD??? Very much! It's no wonder I can get dressed in the morning honestly! I drive myself crazy, but decided after hearing from one person, it's how I operate, and it works out for me time and time again. Why waste valuable vegging, or brainstorming time on planning when you can fly by the seat of your pants at the last minute, and get stuff done in minimal time? I thrive on chaos, I welcome it, it's like a rush, a thrill! Why do you think I stay up so freakin late? All the planning is going on in my head, theres nothing organized about it. Much more creative to just throw things together really it is. So did it work for me this weekend.....yes....yes it did. Me and P, got to the campsite around 8:30 just at dusk, minimal light. Got our tent set up, air mattress and all just before the sun went down! We weren't too cold Fri. night, even though it was 39 degrees, but we had 4 blankets on us. He went right to sleep, so precious. Him waking up on Saturday morning, listening to the birds chirping, he takes a deep breath, eyes closed and says "Mama....I just love the outdoors!" Moments like that make me freezing my arse off all worth every second.

Farting & flatulence: One in the same. But did fart come from the word flatulence? It does happen at our house I'll admit it. Oddly Perry doesn't do much farting. Either that or he just doesn't announce it like most boys would. So polite that kid. Lots of smelly farters in my extended family. Ok why did I go there??? I'm a lady......really I am! Geez what's wrong with you people honestly!

Friends: I've heard many of my friends fart.....wait what's happening? Ha! I'm a lady lets try and remember that!

Friends: I have a great network of friends, each with their own unique gifts as to how they deal with me. No easy task really. I have close friend varying in lengths of time they've known me. Some I feel close to, even though I've not known them as long as other friends. New friendships are fun, when you really click with someone. Those people you feel like you've known for years. You talk to them like they know everything about you, but they don't, which means you get to share stories your old friends have heard many times. Love hangin out with my peeps, I have church peeps, scrappin peeps, old time faithful peeps, and stale peeps left over from Easter, I'll have to remember to give those to Layni, a friend who loves stale peeps!

E IS FOR EXHAUSTED

I am seriously exhausted. And I am not the one working 12+ hour days. That would be my husband. I am just exhausted from life in general. And starting a project at midnight last night. Duh....When the creative juices are flowing I forget the fact that I have a job, that I go to during the day, and a hyperactive kid I have to keep up with at night. It's just when I get in the moment and I have an idea, I have to go with it, because I am afraid it'll be a while when it'll happen again. So then all the sudden it's 3 am and I have to get up in 4 hours. It was worth it though because it turned out cool. I'd show you but the recipient may be a secret blog stalker, so I'll wait so they can be surprised. More about being exhausted. I think it's just running in general. How do people with multiple kids do it? I mean, he's only involved in one thing but add, my mom in a nursing home for rehab on her replaced knee, and running there every other night, and that's enough. Thank goodness I am on break from the one thing I am involved in, because then I wouldn't get any me time. Speaking of the one thing I am involved in, not many folks responded, see Ethos can't you see I really wanna know what people think theres no right or wrong answer it's just what you think. I'll just pray for you if you give the wrong answer that's all....ha ha....fairly harmless right? Ok Ok so I won't pray for you, unless you ask me to, really....I won't, how will you know actually? So leave me comments. Please don't make me beg!

Elephant: Melinda mentioned Elephant. Not really given this animal much thought as my favorite or anything, too big, not cuddly. Although either someone told me this, or I read it somewhere once a long time ago. If you just mouth Elephant slowly for folks who may be reading your lips, it looks like I love you. Not sure what use that info is, maybe if you want someone to think you are saying it but you don't want to, you could just mouth elephant.

Elegant: My friends dad likes to use this word, often when someones, usually a lady or a girl, is dressed all fancy.

Eclectic: Very much my style of decorating.

Earthtone: Very much my color choice for dressing.

Did I mention Exhausted? Yep I am!

EXCELLENT


E is for Excellent! Posted by Hello

Lots of excellent things to talk about just from today. First of all this picture, that my brother found in my basement, (my mom used to own this house), brought it upstairs to take home, and well forgot it. Hee Hee...so here it is. My brother Kelly in kindergarten. Wasn't he cute? His little dimples! And my mom made that shirt, painted the tiger on it and everything. I believe the tigers butt is on the back....excellent. Notice his hair over his ears? We went to a baptist school then, and I bet you my mom got a talking to about his hair, boys had to have their hair cut above their ears. I'll talk more later about more excellent things from today.

What else was excellent was the new Jars of Clay CD I hooked myself up with today. It's a must have, all cool reworked old (very old) hymns. Love it! Love Jars of Clay, although I feel like I've abandoned them and missed a lot. Their second album wasn't the greatest, I gave up on them after that, and now sampling some of their stuff on amazon, I feel kind of bad, and feel like I need to catch up. Martin Smith from Delirious sings on one of the songs, as does Sarah Kelly. Love her cool raspy voice. Nothing like some cool Jesus jams to keep you on track!

E is for Ewwwww!

Ewww: The sound one makes when their child does something gross. Case in point on tuesday, Perry had a den meeting. He insisted on wearing his flip flops. When you are in a hurry, it's really not worth it to argue with a child. So I grabbed his gym shoes just incase they were doing track and field or something. We get to cub scouts and he immediately flipped his flip flops off and began running around the room barefoot. Granted he wasn't the only child running around while the Den leader was trying to talk, but sometimes if feels like it. Fast forward to end of meeting time. Perry no flip flops on his feet, the kids are standing in a circle getting ready to play silent ball. They have to be quiet for this game, and oddly enough Perry doesn't do too bad unless he has to catch the ball. Suddenly apparently Perry's left foot must have felt a bit dry. So what would one do if the bottom of their foot was dry and it was not in some sort of footwear??? Well what you do is, while standing on one foot you pull the other foot up to your mouth and you lick the bottom of the dry foot..........:::::sigh:::::::.........What's that? No that's not what you do? Well it's what my kid did. In front of all the onlooking parents. I was speachless at first, then I yelled EWWWW....Perry that is gross. So then he just licks his fingers and wipes them on the bottom of his foot. Equally as gross. Note to self: Footwear that ties and ADD medication is necessary for all Den meetings.

Ethos: A new ministry that I am involved in. Right now it looks very similar to Alpha, but in the fall it will not. Right now we are getting the framework for it and using Alpha material. In the fall we hope to have new curriculum so it looks very different. So what is Ethos you say? Allow me to do a little explaining and advertising for local folks who'd like to come or if you know someone send them we'd love to have them.

Ethos- (noun) The distinctive spirit of a culture or an era.

It's a safe place where folks can come and learn about God and ask any questions they want and hopefully find the answers. The coolest thing about Ethos is it's not at the church, so those who feel intimidated about a church enviroment can feel comfortable. Another super cool part is FREE DINNER at Rileys in Greenhills. So if you wanna check it out and want a free dinner for 5 weeks. It starts April 19th 6:30....call Rileys to register 851-8810 ext 301

Ok a little survey: Anyone is encouraged to answer this, whether you are a believer or not. Or even if you know folks who aren't believers, and you know what they are thinking. (like it's been discussed) What keeps you from knowing God better? What keeps you from becoming a follower of Jesus Christ? Or if you believe you are a follower, what keeps you from going to church on a regular basis (like every sunday)? If you are a believer, and do attend church on a regular basis, what keeps you from allowing others to know you are a believer? If you fall into any of those questions I welcome your response. If you know me, and don't want me to know who you are feel free to answer anonymously.

D is for Delightful.....which kids are in our magnolia tree on a lovely spring afternoon. Posted by Hello

How so very glad we are that spring is finally here! You know it's spring when the blooms on our magnolia tree finally bust open. The kids sort of cooperated and let me take some fun pictures. Harolds has brought Maddie and Ashton over the past 2 days to play at the park with Perry, he's had a blast.

Drugs: Which my mom is enjoying after her knee replacement surgery this morning. It's a wierd human ritual, when a family member has surgery, one must go and sit in a waiting room full of other people waiting while someone is getting operated on. The wait is usually intensely long if it's a major procedure. This is a good time to people watch, which is what I've done in the past, however modern technology has allowed me to do other things with my time. My brother loaned me his portable DVD player it's really small, smaller than a lap top. Perfect to lounge on a vinyl hospital couch, and sit it right on your lap. I watched the Pianist, I just think Adriene Brody is dreamy. I must have a thing for guys who have a big nose. He was really good in The Village too. Something about his hair and his eyes I think. I watched most of it. Those of you keeping track via my blog. My mom is just fine, not in a persistant vegitative state, so there was no need for any big decisions on my part. Ahhhh....I told myself I wasn't going to go there. For the record I made sure she told me what I was to do in front of her pastor so I had a witness....geez why didn't she write that stuff down? People write it down! Sign it date it and put it on file at all area hospitals!

I promise to start doing E's tomorrow. So if you got some D stuff you wanna chime in on, now is the time!

D is for.........DREADLOCKS!
oh my that kind of makes me laugh. I say dreadlocks because, I just got a few new CD's, I am on a CD buying frenzy. But one of them was the John Butler Trio, and the lead singer has dreadlocks. Very cool. I had a friend in college that I worked with at Kings Island, Buffy, she had dreadlocks. Her dreadlocks were good and dready (is that a word), around the time I got married. She came to the wedding. My super conservative family didn't know what to think. One of my Aunts said...."who was the girl with the cocoons in her hair?" Ha Ha....

Disciple: Dave gave a good message on being a disciple this weekend. Something from the message that stuck out for me was how when you are really going through some stuff, and God just seems so distant. Like you know he's there, but he's not all up in the business like you gotta look hard for him. It's like he don't wanna make it easy, he wants you to pursue him, he wants you to seek him out. Sometimes don't you wish it was just freakin EASY? You're like ok this sucks, um God where are you? You see him, like very distant, like a shadowy figure....ok it's coming to me now. He desires for you to come to him a little closer, and then that is when he won't seem so shadowy, but very clear. I think that made sense, it just came to me as I was typing. I guess that's what makes a disciple? Some one who seeks to see God clearly.

Discipline: Much like the word disciple in looks only. Ah yes the dreaded discipline, nasty word. Especially when you have a kid who doesn't respond to it. He's not too terribly bad, but in a group setting like cub scouts it's insane. Granted he's not been on any meds the past 2 days, because we ran out, and the doctor was out, plus we changed his meds. So he's been off the hook. I don't even want to know what's going on at school. The only one I've heard from was his reading teacher who has him literally for an hour each day, so you know he's off the hook if she's communicating with me that he's out of control. Just like the book Driven to Distraction, being ADD is like being driven by a motor that never stops. Or it's like a gift that's really hard to open. The hard to open part is no joke. Perry is so hard to figure out, he's so inconsistent. One minute he's present and with you and you can converse with him and ask questions, the next minute he's bouncing off the wall and you can't even talk to him. Soooo frustrating. I pray that God allows us to open this gift, and that he's able to control his gift to use it to his advantage. God is quite distant in this stuff that's for sure.

D is for DOG! Posted by Hello

DEFENESTRATE: (verb) the act of throwing/being thrown out of a window, usually a high one.
This is on my friend Stacie's blog. I've never heard that word spoken before in my whole life. Although thought about doing it with a xerox machine almost on a daily basis at my job. Possibly my computer upon occasion but not too often. Mostly the xerox machine. (thanks Stacie I was desperate for some material.)

Drugs: My cousin mentioned this. I am not in need of any drugs, other than something to make me not feel so blah, maybe something that would make me feel excited about cleaning my house. Drugs also make me think of my poor kid who takes drugs for ADD, he's on strattera only right now, and during spring break he had more good days than bad. Got emotional occasionally, but for the most part seemed ok. But it'll be a whole different story once he gets back to school, and is in a very structured enviroment. UGH.....He's very smart and gifted, draws very well for his age. Amazingly well actually. For as little as he pays attention, he's learned quite a lot if you asked me. Hopefully he'll be able to stay in a regular classroom for next year. He does need a lot of extra help. In a regular classroom they can't provide all the help he needs. Who knows maybe he'll switch meds and he'll be fine, and able to focus, and become a model student. We shall see. Very stressful.

Dishes: Ask anyone I HATE DOING DISHES! My friends know this about me. Its probably discussed in a great deal of length when I am not around. "Why does Jodi not own a dish washer as much as she hates doing the dishes?" In all my years of living on my own and being in charge of my own life, I have never had a dishwasher. Odd, I don't have anything against dishwashers, I've just never had the good fortune of owning one. Well everyone can now do a happy dance....we hooked ourselves up and here it is.
D is for DISHWASHER, so now stop talking about me! Check out item number DWD1500AWW
That's the one we got. An off bran made by maytag.

C is for Cousins.....

Cousins- Wow I miss that connection. I can remember kicking it with cousins all the time when I was growing up. Going camping with Grandma and Poppie with my cousin Jennifer almost every summer. Then when we became teenagers we'd hang out and Grandma and Poppies for a whole week. I can remember seeing my cousin Susan on the weekends also at Grandma and Poppies. She is 6 years older than I so she'd hang on the phone with boys and I'd listen. I thought she was so cool. I can remember visiting my cousins Leah and Aimee in florida one spring break. So now what has become of all my cousins. You get older and have your own life, and everyones scattered all over. Jennifer lives in KY not too far away, I've seen her once or twice in the past 8 years. I am probably the only one in my family who trys to stay connected. Man is it hard. I miss the connection, and the fun relationships.

Enough with the C's on to the

D's

Directions- Man am I directionally challenged. If I am not on familiar roads, you better believe I am going to get lost. I've lived in Cincinnati for most of my life and have been going downtown on my own since before I could drive. Still to this day I get lost all the time.

Doing Nothing- Sometimes it's ok to just do nothing like right now I am not feeling overly creative, although I have scrapped 2 nights in a row. Notice, I did not post anything scrapbook related? That would be because they pretty much suck. Should have chose to do nothing. Like this blog right now is not overly creative or humorous, should have chose to do nothing. See how that works? Wonder if that could catch on as a new slogan? Instead of "Just do it!" It could be,
"Do Nothing", and it would be a picture of me vegging on the couch, channel surfing. Ok maybe that wouldn't be such a good picture.

Ok I am at a loss for D's, so those of you who aren't leaving comments, need to come out come out where ever you are and give me some D words that you'd like my comments on or that could stir up some creativity in me. This is open to usual comment givers as well.

C is for Cool......

Of which I once was. All having a blog and all. Then all these famous scrappers discovered blogging. And frankly they are way cooler than I, so now I don't feel quite as cool as I once was. But honestly I'm fine with not being cool, I'm 36 years old, if I'm not cool now I may never be cool. Who cares anyways.......but I had a blog first!

CD's- I got 2 new ones this past weekend, first it was Prince-Musicology why did I buy this, the reviews say it all. He'll never do anything like Purple Rain ever again. I keep giving it another try, and it still only has like 2-3 good songs and that's it. Then at the recommendation of some other people's blogs I checked out some Sting- Sacred Love I decided to get it since it had been recommended by respectable folks then the lyrics were quoted during Easter Sundays service....so had to have it. It's really really good, and I've never been much of a Sting fan.

Cleaning- man I hate to clean. But it has to be done. I can't live in a messy house forever. So this weekend it's time. We are going to spring clean! So look out stuff getting thrown out.

Crazy- My schedule is starting to look crazy for April. Just when I thought it was wide open stuff keeps getting scheduled. It's fun to be busy, but sometimes I like to just veg and not have to do stuff.

Ok sorry my blogs been lame lately. No one has posted anything for C in the comments, once that happens I'll move on to D! So come on people surely somebody has something to say!

Comments- Yeah I got lots of love for Melinda and Stacie, but they can't be the only ones showing me some love. The cool scrapper blogs get like 10 or more comments per post. Told you they were much cooler than I. (said in a whiney Napoleon voice)

Alphabetical break.....

Ok I was doing a little blog surfing. This thing is quite popular with the scrappin crowd now. But came across this website. And am I alone here thinking this is a great idea? I'd totally join in. I'd definately sport some boxers, I'd play along for real. Ok seriously I'm so done blogging for the night, time to go play easter bunny!

C is for cute! Posted by Hello
And for chapstick of which Hannah likes to eat. Prime example of Mardie is way more laid back than any of us. I said "um should she be eating chapstick?" Mardie said, "yeah she likes to eat chapstick, it's non-toxic." LOL.....ok have at it then.

C is for Crack Posted by Hello
As in Baby butt crack, how stinkin cute is this picture??? This is my friend Mardie's little girl Hannah. I'll post a picture of her cute face too. But this is definately a cute butt!

C time!

Crucified: Of which Jesus was this very night a long time ago. In my opinion Good Friday is the most significant night of the holy weekend. And now that there is the passion, those images will be forever embedded into my brain. How could I not be eternally greatful with all that I am for what Christ did for me? Went to church tonight. Good Friday service is always so somber, as well it should be. Last years service they show'd a short movie called the Train. Very meaningful, wish I could find it. I'll do more C's tomorrow or later, tired.

Last of the B's.....baby! Kylie is now 16 weeks old and I swear she weighs 20 lbs! Posted by Hello

B.........

Beat-down: What you threaten one with if they don't do things your way. "Clearly so and so needs a beat-down". Or you could threaten a child with a beat-down, "Straighten up or you're gonna get a beat-down.

Beat-down can also be an adjective. Such as right now I feel extremely beat-down. My child has me at my wits end. He is a prime example of uncontrolled ADD. I am praying that he will find a way to channel all this energy, to function in a normal world. Because right now whatever it is we are doing IS NOT WORKING. My mom got me this book today for my birthday and I hope it has all the answers I am looking for. If anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way. Otherwise just pray for Perry. He's definately not unhappy. But he's a little too oblivious to the world around him. If he could only do whatever he wanted all day long then there wouldn't be a problem. But at this point that is not an option. I promise to start some C's tomorrow.

Tuesday, March 22, 2005

B....

Bling: Term often used to refer to fancy jewlery, or money.

Bing: As in Crosby, great movies, and christmas music. As in cherrys, love those.

Biatch: Another curse word. I got issues. This one usually used for females, I'm really annoyed with. Mostly used when joking around with my friends.

Boxes: Alot of my stuff is still in boxes from our move over a year ago.

Basic Grey: Stacie mentioned this, probably my most favorite patterned paper used in my scrapbooking and book art stuff.

Blessed: Even though I am incredibly frazzled at the end of the day from dealing with all I have to deal with. A kid who is charming and funny, which he uses against me to stay out of trouble. A husband who works really hard, gets little sleep, but still is able to remember to take care of a few of the domesticated duties around here. A job that is NOT my dream job, but I got one and that's a good thing. Great net work of friends, those who I share a hobby in common with and my church peeps, plus those who have had my back for years. I could go on for days about being blessed. How bout we say I got a cool immediate family, cool friends, so therefor I am BLESSED. (Geez some of you were like get to the point already)

Butt: Just a fun word to say. Go on say it.....funny isn't it.

Bookstore: I could sit in a bookstore for hours and just read stuff. I love a good bookstore with comfy chairs, and cool magazines and books.

Bebo: As in Bebo Norman, great worship music. Ever wonder if that's his real name?? I do, I mean Bebo, how many could there be?

Belly: My mom wouldn't let me say belly when I was a kid. Wierd, why is that anyways. She always said it was an ugly word. Ok maybe in the 1950's but it was the 70's and belly is a perfectly exceptible term. Now I can say it all I want BELLY! Love being in charge of my own life. At least most of the time. There are some days though, wow, not so much! Ever have one of those days? When everything is going crappy and you are screaming ok I'm done being a grown up someone else take over. Like last week was like that. And this weeks kinda crazy too. I could use a personal assistant.....I'll have applications ready next week for those who'd like to apply.

B time!

On that note....adorable, which is by child, I'll move on the the B's. Maybe this time I'll get more B comments. Come on people I know you are out there my tickers ticking...(see below) but you people are saying nothing. Thanks to my faithful following Stacie and Melinda. Who are the rest of you stalkers??

Birthdays: Yeah I had one this past week on friday, yeah thanks for the card! Ha Ha....I did get a whole lot of love this year on my birthday. It's almost like I am celebrating the whole month. Those of you keeping score....I'm 36. Abby hooked me up with a set of wine glass's....felt sorry for me since at my christmas part, all I had was Winnie the Pooh wine glass's. OMG stop laughing they are functional! I just learned the art of wine drinking, why does there need to be a special glass?? Well no longer a problem I now have 8 beautiful wine glass's.....why must one have a glass anyways?? If it's Boones Farm your gonna drink the whole bottle anyways!!! Ha Ha Ha.....Ok I officially gave up the boones farm many years ago, trust me I can afford better now. Calm down people I'm not some crazy wino an occasional glass is it, and only among friends while socializing. Riesling Spatlese if you still need to get me a gift....I may even share, I got glass's for it now.

Bible: From wine to the bible...go figure! Hey it's in there. Ok Ok, I'm on Bible now. Just heard a AWESOME talk tonight by Justin on the bible. I've been a christian for over 20 years and that very short talk he gave was the most educational talk on the bible I've ever seen. And it's only 20 minutes. Goes to show doesn't take much just important stuff crammed in a short period of time. I'd have to say scripture meditation has been for me the most effective way to read the bible. This book Read, Think, Pray, Live is a great book on scripture meditation, it's published by the same folks who publish The Message, so it's pretty modern.

Bubba: My son's nickname. Not sure why, sounds like a nickname you give to some big bully type kid, of which he is not. He's tiny. Poor thing only weighs 44 lbs, and he's 45 inches tall. I really do feed him. He doesn't realize he's so small so that's good. Hopefully he'll never had the short kid syndrom, you know those punk kids who have an attitude, because they are short, so they make up for it by being a punk. Perry is not like that at all.

Bubba Gump: From Forrest Gump. I have a Bubba Gump Shrimp Company baseball hat, I used to wear it all the time, and everyone loved it. I wore it when I went to Mexico, on a mission trip. The kids we worked with in some of the city churches thought it was a cool hat.

Blog: Man you can get sucked into some blog reading. You feel like it's a waste of time, but it can be so enlightening when you come across a good one.

Boobalicious: Term used to descibe someone who dress's unnessesarily sexy. Or a women with too much clevage! Not sure I've ever heard anyone use this term other than myself and a few close friends, so if you use this word, use with caution because you could get smacked.

Business Casual: Defined differently by many people and it depends on where you work. For me it means no jeans, sweat pants, shorts, or gym shoes. Everything else is fair game!

Bombdigity: Term used when something is REALLY cool. Such as "that shirt is the bombdigity." again it's a good possibility this term was also made up by someone I know, so use with caution.

Buca Di Beppo: Only the best resturant on the planet!
