I guess I should get on here a bit more often and I would have known Blogger updated--Oh Well!

STAR TREK TEST

I did this Star Trek Personality test because I'm a copycat and one of my best friends did it, so I did too :) here are my results:

Myers-Briggs would say that you are an ENFP (Extrovert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with James Kirk and Julian Bashir.

People like you are generally great problem-solvers. You're highly innovative, creative and unique. You're optimistic by nature, which may make others believe you're naive, but actually you're full of energy, very clever, and determined not to be stopped. You're outgoing, curious, and extremely playful. Others are sometimes taken aback by your enthusiasm, but it keeps you going after others have dropped.

You're deeply caring, sensitive and gentle, which, combined with your need to solve problems, may make you a little too eager to give others advice. You also process information very quickly, which may make others believe you're not listening to them. Before you share your feelings, you have to have time to process them.

You're adaptive and resourceful, but sometimes highly disorganized. You dream of having the perfect assistant. You respond best to people who encourage your unique viewpoints and insights, help you maintain harmony, and want to play and explore with you. You don't respond well when you're overwhelmed with details or when you're in a rigid situation.

Your primary goal in life is freedom to see possibilities, make connections, and be with a variety of people. Your reward is having spontaneous adventures.

Good careers for your type include being an advertising account executive, starship captain, career counselor, developer of educational software, actor, graphics designer, corporate team trainer, psychologist, inventor, medical pioneer, and child welfare counselor.

I was kind of surprised, I thought it was pretty accurate!

ILL

I have never been so ill in my life! I got started feeling funky on Monday and by late that night I had the flu SO BAD! It was awful. I asked Josh to stay home on Tuesday because I could barely move! I finally feel at about 80% today. Thank you God!

ONE OF THE BEST DAYS EVER!

Last Thursday, May 6 was one of the best days of my life! All three of my kids made decisions to follow God! I was thrilled to be able to discuss and pray with each of them! Talk about exciting! My children are 8, 6, & 5 and my 8 year old daughter has been working up to this decision for a long time. She's been asking a lot of questions, worried that she doesn't understand, and been pretty emotional during some "special" times at church (Christmas Eve services, baptisms etc). So I was pretty excited when we started discussing what being a Christian meant that morning in the bathroom while I was fixing her hair! By the time we were done she told me she thought she was ready and and so I asked her a few questions and then I prayed and she prayed! Awesome! After school I encouraged her to share her experience with her brothers, but she was a little nervous. But somehow the conversation wound its way around to being a Christian and my 5 year old piped up and said, "I'm not a Christian." To which my six year old said, "Yes you are." Which of course turned into an "am not/yes you are" argument and my 8 year old said "No he's not" Which lead into another discussion of what a Christian is, and by the end both boys were adamant that they wanted to become one. My 5 year old blessed my socks off by eagerly praying first and saying something to the effect of "Jesus, sorry I do bad stuff. I need you to help not to. I love you. Thanks. Amen" Talk about an emotional day! THANKS GOD!

BABY ON THE WAY!

One of my best friends who has been my best friend since we were like 3 is having a BABY! She's been trying to get pregnant for over a year and has been very discouraged. Her one dream for as long as I've known her was to get married and have a passle of kids and now God has blessed her with her first one! She's due in December! THANKS AGAIN GOD!

SIGN OFF

I think that catches you up with the most important stuff occurring in the last few weeks!

HEY LOOK--It's ME!

Yes, I'm still alive! It's amazing huh? Sorry about the long hiatus (Is that how you spell that?) Life gets stuck on fast forward sometimes in my life.

So to catch you up..

NO VOICE

I have no voice. I'm not speaking metaphorically, I'm speaking literally. I literally am speechless and it totally stinks! My throat was scratchy on Sunday and after leading worship for XO Kids (crossover kids..our "kid's church") and then helping out with the Easter Egg Hunt after church, well my voice started sounding kind of grovelly (is that a word?).

Anyway, I woke up Monday morning and it was GONE! Ugh. From what I've read on the net, it could possibly be 2 weeks before it comes back. Great! OH well..so here I am!

TAE BO

So what have I been doing with my time since I haven't been blogging? Tae Bo! I need to shed some pounds and get some energy and so I've been exercising since like January, which is pretty huge for me who is not a disciplined person. So instead of reading blogs and writing mine, I have been taking that time to exercise. But I have yet to find a spot of time to get back in here regularly :( Bear with me!

SURVIVOR!

So far the All-Stars have been playing pretty well. Most people are making excellent choices as to who is getting the ax! Boston Rob better watch out, because there couldn't be a larger target! It's been very entertaining the last couple of weeks and I am excited to see what happens next!

BOOKS!

I have been reading, I am now on the 4th in the Chronicles of Narnia Series....Prince Caspian. They haven't just been fabulous, but they are interesting. I've read a couple of other novels in there as well, but none of them have really been "wow"!

MOVING INTO THE 21st CENTURY!

I am on the move baby--cable modem! HELL-O! What a difference some speed makes when you go surfing! No more waiting for 5 minutes while your page loads or waiting 30 minutes to an hour for those important updates. Only looking at one page at a time? No more, with cable modem I can look at several webpages all at the same time without frustrating delays and constant lock-ups! I should be a saleswoman for the company, because I am in love :)

IN CLOSING

I hope that you all have had a good holiday and I can't wait for the warm weather! I'm not really a summer person, but I absolutely love 65-70 degree weather and I am tired of the cloudy days and am looking forward to some sunshine! Thanks for listening!

Books!

I just finished She's Undone by Wally Lamb. It definitely held my interest and he did a great job of weaving a story. But man the book was depressing! For the last couple of days I've been in a very "blah" mood and I really think it's this book. This woman is SO unhappy and so many terrible things happen in her life. It's really exhausting. Can't say whether I liked the book or not.

Next I'm going to read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I heard on the radio today that they are making a movie of this book. Interesting :)

Survivor All Stars!

Ding Dong Hatch is gone! Whoo Hoo! Way to go Colby! Of course I'm not sure that this will help Colby in the long run, but at least we don't have to worry about Hatch winning. He underestimated people! Now I hope Colby doesn't make the same mistake because I think Jerri is out to get him!

What was up with Hatch's behavior? I mean it's one thing to make an off-color remark..but then to continue..ugh! I told Josh that I bet a lawsuit is going to happen over that and Sue will win too.
