I’ll take a dozen randomness please

1. Are you pleasant when you're ill, or are you a grumpy, fussy patient?

Grumpy and whiny, it is the only time I am allowed to be so why not work it for all it’s worth ;)

2. When you find out that school is canceled (due to inclement weather) what is your gut reaction?

We rarely have this unless there is a tropical storm or hurricane, but my first reaction is woooohooo, more beauty rest for mama. I hate school as much as my son does.

3. What is one domestic skill you wish you could improve?

Cooking, I do an okay job, but I wish I could make more really cool dishes.  I would also love to be able to decorate cakes and stuff.

4. Do you decorate your home for Valentine's Day?

Nope

5. What song is on your mind today?

A New Day Has Come by Celine Dion….Love that song.

 

6. Do you prefer contemporary movies or classic?

Contemporary

7. How well do you "compartmentalize" your feelings? For example, how well can you put aside a really trying moment to deal with the immediate situation which is not related to the trying moment, e.g., putting aside a tiff with your spouse in order to finish wallpapering a room.

I’m pretty good at hiding my feelings, but then I let them build up and eventually explode.

8. What is the first thing that attracted you to your spouse? (Or if you're single, to your best friend.)

He was cute and very sweet with a great body….too much information…sorry about that

9. When was the last time your heart raced?

hmmm, I’m not sure. 

10. What are your memories of Valentine's Day at school?

Roses from boyfriends, Candy and card from friends.

11. If you were going to receive candy for Valentine's Day, which would you prefer?

Reeses, I know it is not elaborate or anything, but I love them.

12. Red or pink?

Red

Shutter pics

The Challenge:

Take a picture of something in action, you can freeze the action, or purposely blur it to show movement.

I am not sure if I did this right I kept messing with the shutter speed while my son was running around being a ninja, but I never really got a blur effect from the motion? I think I need some more practice.

Here were the tips from Beth and Lolli’s blog:

* The longer the shutter stays open, the more light that comes into the camera, and the more likely you will be to get blurred motion.

* The shorter the shutter stays open, the less light that comes into the camera, and the more likely you will be to freeze the action in your shot.

* Use a fast shutter speed to stop action, or for fast-moving subjects.

* Use a slow shutter speed to let in more light (in lower light situations), for stationary subjects, or to show motion.

I think I can, I think I can

90 Day Bible Journey, Week 2

Here are some questions my sis-n-law Patrice posted for us to answer:
1.  Have you tried to read the entire Bible before?  Why or why not?
Yes, I really would just like to know more of the stories in the Bible not just the ones we have known since childhood.
2.  If you have tried to read the Bible in its entirety, what challenges did you face in fulfilling your desire?  Where did you start?  If you did not finish, how far did you get?
I have never completed reading the Bible because I am going to be honest I just get lazy and some of the books are just more interesting than the others.  I always start at the beginning, which may be my problem since I have probably read Genesis a good 50 times in it entirety and yet I still find things I did not before….hmmmm….  I am not sure where I left off all umpteen times I have tried to read it in full.
3.  What have you found to be difficult and what have you found to be rewarding in your attempts to read the Bible in 90 days?
I think it is difficult to retain as much when reading it so quickly..  I find myself going back and re-reading sections that I just read because I am completely lost.  Hence the reason I am still only in the middle of Exodus .  I will catch up though.  The rewarding part is knowing I am not alone as the only person on the planet not to have read the bible from front to back and that I have support. 
4.  For those who may be struggling, what advice can you give to help encourage them to stick to the goal?
Try your best and if you fall behind don’t stress out, this is not a competition.  Whether you finish in 90 days or 180 days we still love you and so does Jesus .

5.  What excites you most about reading the entire Bible in 90 days?
That I will finally have read the Bible and I will have more knowledge of what God has laid out before us.
