Interesting Brain Fodder...

My iGoogle quote of the day today is "Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels."
- Faith Whittlesey

Hm. That's very interesting. Although if you are a dancer, and while I'm not that talented at it I do know a few things, you might agree with me that the girl still has the easy part. She follows. How much of our faith should be the same way? Follow the leader. In our house Kris is the leader, he makes it easy to follow some times and other times it's hard to follow. I don't need to always know where we are going because he does. Just like Ginger Rogers never had to look over her shoulder to be sure that Fred Astaire was going the right way we as Godly wives shouldn't need to look over our shoulders to be sure our "Freds" are going the right way. Praise God for Godly men who lead the dance....

Sadness...

We were not approved. however, I don't think it was our credit that got us denied I believe it was that the furniture was 10% of our yearly income which I'm sure they would think was outrageous. So we wait. In a few weeks or months we will get the tax rebate and then we will begin to look at furniture again. I hope that this set is still available at the same AWESOME price the lady quoted me. However, I am still holding a little light of hope, she said she would try with a different bank tomorrow. Soooooo maybe maybe maybe...there's another chance. BUT like I said I think it's because of our income. We're too honest, we didn't put the money that my grandfather left me or our tax refund into our income...nor did we put the little extra Kris makes doing guitar lessons and studio time. Just his 40 hour a week paycheck job. *shrug* I don't count on the other money, especially our refund because that's spending money ;) So yeah worse case scenario, we wait til next year at tax time and THEN I can has nu furnitures. ;)

Oh and the pictures do NOT do it justice at all. It's so comfy and prettiness and yeah I'm gonna stop now because I was ok with not being to get it earlier ;)

i can haz nu furnitures?

If the no interest for 12 months plan is available to us with our credit I will soon be the VERY PROUD owner of new furniture...


There's a pretty chair that goes with it too but there's no picture of it currently. We will have it delivered at the end of this week and then you'll get all sorts of pictures ;) I'm very excited!!! If you want close ups of the detail you can check it out here Ashley Furniture isn't it cool? I'm very excited!!!

Stormy Day

Today it's stormy and gray and the allergies are getting the best of us all. The kids all have headaches and sinus stuff going on...so we're all home and all hanging out...I'll see if I can get some new pics of the three stooges today ;)

Phone Cards

So in today's cellular society we rarely need phone cards anymore. I remember they used to be the big thing and my mom and dad switched phone companies because a different one offered a way to call and charge it to your home phone at the same price you paid for your house phone calls. That, of course is way better than paying for a collect call, those are usually outrageous. However, cell phones today cannot call to Europe or the Middle East for the most part or it's high priced. So a calling card or phone card might be a great way to go for your actually calling needs. In our home we have a land line but we don't pay for long distance because we have cell phones. However, with a calling card we could make calls overseas without having to have that long distance. One place that you can look to compare and purchase phone cards is here, phone card click the link and see for yourself the various types of cards out there and find the one that is right for your life. With so many families who have loved ones overseas right now this is even a great gift for people at the holiday time or for birthdays.

This is a paid advertisement.

Time for a change...

I am going today to get my hair done. It's all one length right now and down to my shoulders. Here's a pic from my birthday, Yes we were trying to burn the house down...

So I think I'm going to do bangs but leave the rest long. And then lighten the red and maybe add some blonde. I like the long haired, redhead in this picture.


So yeah. If i hate it, I'm probably going to chop it all off and go for short and spikey again ;) I will post after pictures ;)

AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weekend!

What a crazy busy weekend! Friday was the concert, which was awesome, Newsboys is not my favorite band as I mentioned but they put on a great show, much heavier band in person. So that was a lot of fun! There were also 3 bands that played before they came out and the first two were very awesome. So it was well worth the trip! Saturday morning Kris and I got up and went shopping right away for some clothes for me. He and my MIL got me gift cards for an outlet mall near us and I was rather excited to use them. I got a real nice pair of pants at Banana Republic and a couple pairs of shoes from Nine West. WOOT! Sunday was church and because I had a complete breakdown earlier in the week, don't ask right now I'll talk about it another day...Kris had taken the week off of playing. So he sat with us which helped the kids remember how to act in church which meant I could stay for the whole service instead of leaving halfway through because I wasn't getting anything out of it due to having to shush the kids every 5 seconds.
