Spring Break!

Posted by: beaner927 on: March 26, 2007

Things to Do:
1. Visit Dentist & have stitches removed.
2. Call Nick’s doctor for an appointment & pray that he doesn’t have strep throat.
3. Go up to Chicago with the kids & visit my parents. This event will bring rain. It always rains when we make plans with the Grandparents!!!
4. Memorize lines for a scene that [...]

NKOTB

Posted by: beaner927 on: March 21, 2007

For a few of you 80’s/90’s kids, you will already know who I’m talking about. For the rest of you, NKOTB stands for the New Kids on the Block. Now besides really liking heavy metal music, I also liked Boy Band Pop music (I have always had eclectic tastes!) Anyway…..in High School, I was absolutely [...]

Just got back from the dentist & my painful wisdom tooth is gone!!! (No surgery, just a couple stitches! Much cheaper too!)
The sun’s coming out & it’s warming up!
Things are looking up! 

Happy St. Joseph’s Day!

Next to St. Patrick’s Day, this one is a little bit less known (unless you grew up Polish/Italian/ Catholic in Chicago!) Anyway…….at least you’ve heard of Joseph, Jesus’s adopted father. Even though we don’t get to see a lot of Joseph in the Bible, I think we see his character in Jesus. Joseph taught Jesus [...]

I want to write about the Retreat today, but I don’t even know how to put it into words. First of all, the location & the weather were beautiful. Spending time outside, by the lake, was awesome! Seeing the seagulls in the early morning, listening to the ice tinkle as the pieces floated into one another, and [...]

A Plan

Posted by: beaner927 on: March 7, 2007

I finally bought a guitar book! After several visits to Borders, and over an hour of pouring through all the different kinds of guitar books, I finally picked one out! (Yes, I have decision-making issues!!!) Anyway……..I hope I don’t annoy anyone on the Women’s Retreat because I’m bringing my guitar & I’m gonna have some [...]

Let me just start by saying that this is a mini-rant. A very un-Christian-like one, but I just feel like I need to get it out there:
Here are today’s headlines:
1.  Suspect confesses to killing, dismembering wife
2.  Police say Father told toddler “Now you stab Mommy.”
3.  Police think Dad meant to crash plane. (This one is [...]

Needing That Retreat!!!

Posted by: beaner927 on: March 2, 2007

Our Women’s Retreat is 1 week away – YAY!!! The theme is on GRACE! Yep – I’m needing to hear about that again. I know that I’m saved by grace, but at the same time, I  still feel like I’m going to pay for it somehow. I guess I’m having a hard time wrapping my brain [...]

In Like A Lion…

Well, something’s roaring out there – oh yeah….that’s the sound of thunder. Bailey is outside in the pouring rain & she won’t come in! I think she’s still looking for the fox that came by our house yesterday. I have a picture of it on my Flickr page, but it’s a little blurry. I can’t [...]
