I may be in trouble
O.K. I did something I don't do. I didn't consult the fisherman, I just did it. It could potentially cost $900! I haven't spent the money yet, but I intend to do just that. I did not ask permission. I have ordered a detailed estimate and I am excited and unremorseful about the consequences. I am tired of waiting on the man to do the things I want done. I hope to do this without inconveniencing him at all. Please, Lord, help me!

Silver Sienna
Reasons I like my car:
1. It's mine.
2. It's paid for.
3. It seats eight.
4. It is flexible, unlike many people I know.
5. It is still running.
6. It has a working radio and c.d. player.
7. I can talk to God there uninterrupted (while alone).
8. I can sing at the top of my lungs whatever I want (again, while alone).
9. The kids are strapped in, keeping them from running away from me.
10. I can go to McD.'s in it.

Too long
I can't believe it's been a year since I posted anything on this blogsite. I guess I felt like I was talking to myself like a strange person so I quit. But the fact of the matter is, I do talk to myself and I like it. So here I am again. I've been too gone for too long.
My sweet fisherman built a new shower where our old fiberglass number used to reside. It's a vast improvement over the fiberglass form that we wore out. Nowadays, I'm spritzing in a tile job with brand new chrome fixtures. It's enough to make a grown girl get giddy. I love alliteration.
I didn't realize how much praying I did in the old shower until I was using the new one. We had to share with our brood in an upstairs potty place that is much less private. I know I didn't pray in that one, except to say "Thank You, Lord that I didn't slip on the toys in the bottom here." I quipped to my husband that what he really did was to construct a new temple for me. So now, I go into the bathroom and prepare for a shower, knowing that I will get at least five minutes of prayer time with Jesus. He's always there, I just forget to keep talking to him. The whole world is my temple really. It's been too long since I spoke to Him minute by minute.
