scary times! (graphic post)
My sister had a scare the other night: she hit a deer while she was driving 75 mph down I-55 south of Bloomington. Eeeek! The car is smashed up and the deer… well… he/she did not make it. He/she was catapulted into the air a good 20 feet before exploding and raining deer parts all over I-55 for about 30-40 feet.
Somehow, my sister maintained control of the car, pulled over and lived to tell about it. How the deer didn’t go through the windshield of her car, can only be because of the grace of God.
Whew – that was close. Thank you, God!!
colors!
Thanks to lots of help from my fabulous Aunt Jill, Frank and I picked out all the colors for our new home! We are very excited about it (well, I am. Frank is happy that I am happy.) and if you click here, you can see the colors we picked. On this list, we selected “Super White” for the trim and doors. We selected “Putnam Ivory” for the entry way, kitchen, great room and laundry room. We selected “Tyler Taupe” for the powder room and Maple Leaf Red for the dining room (not listed). Upstairs, we are going to use “Chestertown Buff” in our bedroom and the Mother-In-Law room. The bathrooms will be “Waterbury Cream” and the office will be “Nantucket Gray.” The colors online don’t look like the actual colors, but it should give a pretty good idea.
This is such a small thing, but it really made my day. I think the house is going to feel so warm and homey when it’s all painted! 😀
hey y ou guys! big news!
Jennifer Aniston talked to Angelina Jolie! Can you believe it? Didn’t you think it would never happen???
In other news, Jennifer Garner is upset about carrying a little extra baby weight. Uh, yeah. I’m upset about that, too. Except I didn’t have a baby.
Oh well. Time for bed!!
how i almost died… a conversation
DisneyK1127: How did you almost die?
TallGrl98: oh my gosh
TallGrl98: it was so scary
TallGrl98: so i was driving and it was really rainy
TallGrl98: and i was on 94 south and we went around the plainfield curve (really sharp curve)
TallGrl98: and i was slowing down becaause it’s a terrible curve and two cars ahead of me, the car spun out of control and all of a sudden – it was facing me in my lane!! DRIVING BACKWARDS!!!
DisneyK1127: OH MY@
TallGrl98: they swerved across three lanes, managed to not hit anything
DisneyK1127: Holy cow
TallGrl98: and then turned around and kept going
DisneyK1127: The right way?
TallGrl98: yup
DisneyK1127: Wow
TallGrl98: yeah. so then after a few minutes, they pulled over because i think they were really shaken
DisneyK1127: I can imagine. Jeez.
DisneyK1127: nobody got hurt though, right?

TallGrl98: nope, not one dent
DisneyK1127: amazing
TallGrl98: i know
DisneyK1127: good thing
TallGrl98: but i had this moment while i was driving where i had sort of an out of body “i am in control of this, i can do this” feeling

meet mr. luna…
day three….
here we are, day three of 2006.
hello 2006.
answer to a prayer… in due time
For the longest time I have been asking for an extra hour in the day. It seems that God heard my prayer and is working on it.
The amount of time it takes for the earth to revolve around it’s axis is taking longer and longer. This is due to the gravitational pull of the moon slowing us down ever so slightly. Today at 7pm EST time, scientists will add one more second to our day. it will look like this… 6:59:59 … 6:59:60… 7:00:00 ONE MORE SECOND – what am I going to do with all this time? According to the Chicago Tribune here is how you can observe this phenomenon:
But for those wishing to witness the event, the process is relatively simple and requires a stop watch and a common cell phone with a time display.
At the precise moment the display reads 6:59 p.m. (EST), start the stopwatch. When the display changes to 7:00, stop the watch. It should read 61 seconds.
There. Your extra second will have been spent. So according to this, I should get an extra hour added to my day in a few million years. Hoorah!

bedazzle this…
no, i will NOT buy your silly bedazzler.
although, who knows what the bedazzler could do for me. this woman made $2,000 in 2 weeks using her bedazzler. she didn’t say how she used it to make that money. my guess is she killed people with it.
