Of course, I'll probably still stick to knitting since I made this cute little mushroom.

And movie watching because I suddenly have this fascination with Ben Barnes (aka Prince Caspian).

Confession 1. I am afraid of dying. I can't talk about this one. It scares me too much. Such a silly phobia though because it's gonna happen to all of us.

Confession 2. I have the biggest fear of the dentist. I didn't visit for 6 years! I used to get a checkup every year while I was at school, but when school finished I never went... until recently. My teeth have always been perfect... never had a filling or anything until a few months ago. i was told I needed 4. Having never had one before i didn't think it would be a big deal. It was horrendous. I had 2 of them done because they said they couldn't do them all in one go. I lay there having my teeth drilled with tears streaming down my face. I didn't go back for the other 2. I think I will wait until i have the baby before I pluck up the courage to get the others as the stress of it probably isn't very healthy for the baby!

Confession 3. I'm crap at arguing with my husband. I've never admitted this to him but he always tells me I'm crap at it in the middle of an argument. It will usually turn out that I am the one in the wrong so I then try to change the topic slightly to fight about something that is his fault. If we are arguing... it usually goes in circles for ages and ages because I throw more things into the mix instead of just sorting it out. We don't fight anymore... we haven't really had a fight that I can remember since becoming pregnant... hopefully this won't change once baby is born... i like not fighting!! :)

Confession 4. I eat waaaaaay too much salt. I put salt on everything and I really should cut down. This is something i feel guilty about because it's an awful habit. I don't even taste my food before I put salt on it most of the time.

Confession 5. I can't drive! I had 10 lesson but never went any further than that. Driving sort of scares me... although I would LOVE to be able to drive because of the convenience and freedom. I think I might learn next summer.

Confession 6. I have invented pregnancy cravings just so we could eat junk food. Yup... that's right. I adoooooore indian takeaway, pizza takeaway, chinese takeaway and fish and chips. Hubby and I have been trying to cut down on our outgoings to save more money because we spend an absolute fortune on takeaway food so frequently I asked for takeaway saying how badly I was craving it and how important it was to give in to cravings when pregnant. It worked every time. I also don't feel bad about this. Pregnancy is so hard sometimes... these takeaways have been my lifeline!!

Confession 7. I have already picked out the eternity ring I would like to be given on our 10th anniversary. It is on the Tiffany's website in my saved items. Hubby knows my username and password for this site. I made sure to tell him. I would like it for our 10th anniversary because it will probably take that long to save for it. Although... I think the stock may have changed by 2018! :)

Feels good getting things into the open! :)

I am going to tag Frances!

i think this is a very valid question in todays day and age. i believe i have compiled some of the more obvious one and maybe some that are not

1. the obvious, but yet most distasteful (only because i don't like granola people that much) but Jesus would where Chaco's 80% of the time, they would allow him to get the cross sun burn on the top of his feet but would give him the foundational support to climb all those rocks and up those hills to speak to the multitudes

2. now this i'm sure he wished he had back in the day CROCS. this would have made walking on the water that much more enjoyable and possibly less of a hassle. wouldn't have worried about his sandels getting ruined or anything like the sort. you are a thinking JC.

3. i don't think he would wear nike even though the 2006 worlds best running shoe was one...nike it so to....endorsed for Jesus i think

4. i'm pretty sure Jesus would be into free running and therefor would want a pare of free running K-Swiss, for those days in Tarsas when he is trying to get away from the crowds and enjoy a nice quite night

5. he would probably own a pair of these Snake Boots....you know the whole stepping on the head of the snake...but this time no bruising of the heel :-)

6. lastly i think Jesus would need his Golfing shoes and what better than these bad boys?!?!

so over all we see that Jesus would be a brilliantly thoughtful shoe connoisseur...because as they say you can tell a lot about a man by his shoes...so think Jesus would be very thoughtful about what he wore..

ok so i really think tomorrows What Would Jesus...will be very entertaining. we will be looking at what would Jesus do in the church :-D i think you will be surprised

I won't name names, but you know who you are. I salute thee mighty online warriors. Without you, the internet would be a place for scientists to exhange data sets and not the glorious media-filled infotainment device that it is today.

I too must go to the land of sawing logs, where I can dream of being in an episode of Lost after watching an 8 hour marthon while I wait for e-mails about employment opportunities and natural member enlargment. Ah spam...without you, where would we get our magic blue pills and correspondence from nigeria asking for aid claiming prize money.

Nay do I say to the many forwards I get, but alas good friend you have too much free time and a long list of people I don't know in the carbon copy margin. So I delete thee bringer of virus warnings, funny jokes, and religious epifanies. If you do not send an exact copy of this message to everyone you know, somewhere in the Pacific a bunny will cry or jebus will stop answering your phone calls. I forget which.

But I digress, and the hour grows late. Goodnight and I hope to hear from you again.

as it was, i was already finding it hard to fall asleep with the fan turned on. i think i was about 50% asleep when she turned it off. it felt so warm after that i had to throw off my quilt. and it was still too warm. after about five or ten minutes i decided that enough was enough, and decided to take refuge in my brother's cooler room.

unfortunately for myself, i managed to forget to bring my laptop's power supply back home with me. so i'm using my brother's... i mean, the family desktop at the moment. i quite like it, actually. gotta love the giant, brilliantly bright screen and the never-ending amounts of RAM. the only things i can't stand is the keyboard, which is slightly weirdly positioned such that i keep pressing on the wrong keys. and how my brother has "polluted" the desktop with his utter lack of organisation... which very obviously disturbs the obsessive-compulsive in me. like it's such a nice, gorgeous desktop and what does my brother do? spoil it with messy icons everywhere... ugh. i think the only thing stopping me from obsessively cleaning everything up is that i don't use the computer enough for me to really care. maybe when the desktop passes into my hands...

hmmm. went to yy's place today, to look at MJ. and oh boy is she HUGE now. well, not really, but just a whole lot bigger than when we first saw her cute, utterly adorable self. but well i guess she's still rather cute. and a lot less shy now, considering how she was going around sniffing at us, maryam's bag and trying to bite holes in my tshirt and cargoes. okay la she's still cute. haha. it's kinda sad that i'll only get to see her again when maryam and yy get back, eh. which is like, a whole month from now. goodness. can't quite believe maryam and yy will be gone for so long! oh well, at least they'll enjoy themselves, i think. we said today, i'll just make up the sleep they're lacking and they'll settle the excitement bit for me. haha.

and honestly, i think i should really just coop myself up in my hall room. not so much because i want to be anti-social, but because i spend so much when i get out. grocery shopping alone on thursday saw me spend a lot... mainly because i didn't just spend the money on groceries. ahem. and meeting maria for lunch also saw me spending lots of money... doh. i have like no self-control over my spending habits now. so yes, i really should not let myself out too much until i can get a grip on my spending again...

bah. i'm a little bit sleepy, but definitely not sleepy enough to fall asleep. i think it's all the sleep i've had recently. had another bout of indigestion/heartburn yesterday evening, and for some reason that also made me extremely tired and sleepy. i think i slept early for once, before waking up at around 4am to find that my gastrointestinal discomfort was still there... fortunately some cup-a-soup and more medicine got rid of that. and i was for some reason, STILL sleepy so off to sleep i went again... and i slept so much i arrived at macs later than yy, who had incidentally also overslept and had cabbed to school. oops.

the mcgriddle was okay. i think the sausage wasn't quite salty enough, so there was no real sweet/salty combination. the weirdest thing was how our hashbrowns tasted like apple pie? i put ketchup on my hashbrown as usual, and then i was struck by how much it tasted like apple pie. and after i mentioned it to the other two, they couldn't get the apple pie feeling/taste off their minds, haha.

okay, i think that's quite enough rambling for now. shall entertain myself with some game on the desktop...

anyway, for all those going on trips and whatnot, have a safe journey! and don't forget to get me stuff! hahaha. :D

Shania Twain - You Shook Me All Night Long words fail me.

Great Society- Take Me To A Circus Tent

Quality Rock & Roll Airplane style.

Hello there from Airplane Saturday:

What is happening? Thought I would share this goody from the Beatles Vaults.

It is Beatles From The Vaults #64 and a rehearsal for

Blackbird.

We have to be quiet as we enjoy genius in progress.

Maybe more from the Vaults later!

All the best!

Relax and have fun!

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE- JEFFERSON STARSHIP- Great Society-

Take Me To A Circus Tent

May the music be magic!

I look forward to hearing you later!

The book is Take Me To A Circus Tent (The Jefferson Airplane Flight Manual) W/93 photos, 32 interviews, 543 pages, and a myriad of 5 star reviews!

Please remember at any moment on an Aircast it can be a rare memory from the Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, KBC, Wooden Ships, Marty Balin, Paul Kantner to name several. Maybe another picture previously unseen from the Rock Tent Vault sees daylight from Herb Greene or Don Aters.

 I used to read verses from the Bible like this from the book of Acts:

     "Now  the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.....and great grace was upon them all.  There was not a needy person among them...."  Chapter 4 vs 32-34

        and wonder why Christians today didn't look like that.    Imagine my delight when God moved us  from Iowa to New Jersey, and  "planted us" in just   such a church ..and now it was time to return to Iowa.

      Our family  lived in "Christian community" for 5 years.   An experience like that is bound to leave a mark on your life.  Twice during that period,  someone gave us a  vehicle  when ours needed replacing- gave it...not a loaner...a gift. We've had people show up at our home with boxes of groceries, had a Christian landlord who knocked several hundred dollars a month off the rent because he knew our situation.  My employer (Mark) was also an  assistant pastors at the church.   When it became obvious we were struggling financially, we met with Kurt, (a church deacon and accountant)    Kurt said  I could use a $2.00 an hour raise without  a doubt.  Mark said not a problem - plus he wanted to  find a  way to offer health insurance and  give me a work vehicle to drive...because he saw his business as an extension of his faith.     

      Giving and receiving  acts of  Kindness has become such a part of the fabric of our life, I forget what it feels like to experience it for the first time.

    Lest you think I'm just a big "mooch" ;-)  

       We also opened our home for 3 months  to a lady whose own son was  going to let her wind up on the street.  I wrote more about that here  She needed a place to stay and I wanted to work on being more assertive (figured if she was with us for an extended period of time then stuff was bound to happen.

      I'm not going to give you any more stories from my life lest it sound like I'm tooting my own horn...let's just say, I have no problem giving or receiving kindness, hospitality,  and unconditional love...it's just part of who we are as a family.

       I've heard people  say, " I have no trouble helping someone else,  but struggle  to  receive. " To you I  say,   "It's your pride,    If  God lays it on someones heart to help you, then  you need to let them."

       What are some of the surprising ways people have encouraged you?  How about ideas...do you have any suggestions (big and small ways) we  can encourage someone else?  My newest blogging friend Sharon,   posted something recently on encouragement  check it out.

i have 1 at 8.30 in the morning (duh) and the other is at.... madri when bes it's at my school and i'm pretty much sure it's in the morning too..

ok i think this is me freaking out. but i'm so quite that you can't believe.... why the hell am i writing this sentence and not studying!!?

i should get used to this ta'9arob thing.. i have 2 finals in one day! LOL!! does anybody know where i can buy a gun? i need to kill myself or more importantly my future has gone down the drain..

do you sometimes promise yourself that you're going to listen to every song that comes on your ipod when you put shuffle, but then break that promise after you listen to 3 seconds of the first song you get? cause i do

woah!! that was random!

and now i'm stalling! *cries* *sobs* *laughs hystericaly* maybe if i just pretend to be crazy.. that way i don't have to go and get tested..

ok that sounded kinda bad to me.. heheh

i'm hungry...

it's 22.45 right now and still no studying.. not even 1 subject *YAAAY!!*

how much denial can a person handle before they finally reach rock-bottom..

maybe i should study.... bes maly 5ilg (why am i typing to myself?? i knew i was some kind of crazy person.. what if the medical gang/people name this illness after me!! the sarah syndrom... i don't know how to even spell that word.. oh well who gives a shit?)

i'm hungry...

Sometimes things are what they are.

I did my collage for the day, seeing it is all relevant to the past week's events, and from the comics I chose the text from Agnes to anagram. "Odd things happen...strange things happen...sometimes things that are odd and strange...but we felt we were overstepping our psitirual place in the world by pretending to have any good explanations for them." I turned that text into one anagram for this post, "What happened in planet on twelfth betters our understanding of the world's vibration. It got people scared to pray up to Him; message growing, Omega's heavenly spirit extended hand."

I know some people don't believe this sort of stuff.

Probably believe it less coming from an anagram from comic strip text bubbles.

Probably think this little collage means nothing too....

but then, maybe some DO believe there is something out there

trying to tell us something.

But anyway, this morning was the semi-annual sample sale at the home office. (It's a compound really.) What this consists of is all of the clothes that they've been working on, testing clothes, clothes from other labels that inspired the designers, old stuff, you name it they had it there. So John wakes up at 4:45 in the morning to go wait in a line of over 1,500 employees to get into this thing. It is a half mile of boxes of these clothes; four rows deep, a half mile long. Insane. Once you get up to it they give you two giant garbage bags and it is just a mad frenzy of digging through boxes and just grabbing whatever you can get you hands on. You want to know why it is so crazy? It's because all of the stuff there, most of it brand new and not even in stores for months yet, is crazy cheap.If anything had a slight hole or tear in it it was free. All clothing; jeans, tops, dresses, sweaters, whatever, are only three dollars each! Right now I'm wearing a pair of Ruehl (Abercrombie's upscale end of the company) jeans that would normally sell for about a hundred dollars, but the were only $3. All outerwear and purses were $20. John got a $200 winter coat- $20. And he got me this fantastic Italian leather clutch that I'm sure was used as a designer's inspiration.

All in all he spent $140 on clothes for both of us but the total of the stuff is probably about $2,000. Today, I feel like a very lucky girl :)

Whoever wrote that song is a genius because I went to subway today to get one of these $5 foot long subs.  It is very catchy (and annoying).

i bought it last week and its really intersting 

its really amazing u should read it

and ill put just quotes from a peom called

Shet, hindi ako nanonood ng Maging SIno Ka Man pero nainspire kami to dress like em unwaringly. Lol!

PS At the same day, Keneth was asking me if I had watched American Pie: Beta House (sixth installment).

BARRY: Not yet. I only have American Pie's One to Five in a DVD-9.
KENETH: Okay.
BARRY: American Pie Four: Band Camp has got to be my favorite.
KENETH: Eww. That totally sucks! Of all the other installments, that's the one I hated most.
BARRY: Why? I liked it. It's not so obscene unlike the others. It's kinda wholesome. So why do you hate it then?
KENETH: The same reason that you like it.
BARRY: Because it's not TOO obscene?
KENETH: (grins)

2. And so for American Idol, Syesha Mercado's out giving way for a DavidC-DavidA finale. I'm so ecstatic for this news: For one, I never imagined having Syesha on Top Five no matter how deserving she were (she didn't impress me before), and a DC versus DArch would surely be a bomb for all of us! I guess that I have no musical guts to judge how well they can sing but I went for it. And I anticipate it.

I'm also glad that DC performed "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing." I sing it in Magic Sings, yes, and seeing it on Idol would be worth watchin'. It's aside from the fact that the last time I actually watched someone perform that "suicidal" song was during the Season Four through Lindsey Cardinale.

3. YOU: I hope YOU still think of me. I'll keep reading your book. Smirks.
