now...i really need to discuss some important stuff...let's talk tv!!! you know me...i'm usually up until 3am for all of my diabetic responsibilities, so, this is when i catch up on all my tv indulgences. where else do you think i get all of my useless pop culture trivia (why does that kind of information stay in my head, when i can hardly remember what i had for breakfast?).

i am just catching up on some of my shows since i was gone last week. i have not watched the last couple of survivors...so don't tell me what has happened. i'm also behind on chuck & top chef masters, so don't ruin my surprise.

i am, however, caught up on american idol, dancing with the stars, & amazing race. i'm so glad that the ones who have gone home recently are gone. i'm still not a big fan of jacob on american idol & i think it is his week to go...we'll see what tonight brings. it was definitely time for kendra to go on dancing with the stars...her attitude didn't keep me happy, but she came a long way & thankfully her attitude changed. but, my favorite cast off of the week...kent & vyxsin!!! he was such a cry baby!!!!!! it killed me how he chastised her for being negative. um...isnt that the pot calling the kettle black (i'm sorry...pink & black)? i'm sure the race brings out traits you're not happy with. i am, however, excited that this week is the finale. i've never seen them let 4 teams race for the finals...go gary & mallory or globetrotters!!!!

oh my word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just found out about bin laden...wow!!!! it's sad when you get your latest current events from facebook. i'm wrestling with 2 sides of myself...the side that screams "yippee!!" & my other side that weeps for his eternity (& it definitely is not what he had planned).

"God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked." (Pr 24:17;Ez 33:11)

the Lord doesn't give up on you & me & He most certainly doesn't give up on the lost!!!!

well, i'm back!!! went to go see my baby brother for a few days. we haven't gotten to see each other since CHRISTmas & before that, it had been while we were making the plans for our oma's funeral. last time i was there, he was in the process of buying a house & now he's in it with a new roommate (jax...his yellow lab). the bachelors have a pretty good life going out there in austin...i'm so happy for him!!

woke up at 4:30am to make a 6:00am flight…ewwwww!!!! but, my babies are worth it!!! the girls had a recital @ 3:00pm & by golly, I wasn’t gonna miss it!!! they were BEAUTIFUL!!!!! i wish i knew how to put a video on here. but, trust me…there are pics to come. i know, i know…surprise surprise! :0)

how about a little catch-up...no, not ketchup

well, i've been trying to think about how i can catch up from all the lost time that i have been away from here. so, you know me, how about pictures??? i may have taken 1 or 10,000. i figured the best way is to try & play out all the missing time through digital art!!! plus, who's to say you would actually read everything...it could potentially become quite the novel. i'll try to filter & not totally overload you (if it is possible). however, if you want to see more pics, all you have to do is click on my facebook page. trust me, you will get your fill on there! :0) soooo...you ready?
