Meet Me in Florida!

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:02:18 GMT

I have a different Xanga site...where I used to throw cute quotes or other non-personal stuff.

www.xanga.com/florida2008

I'm going to use that site now since I can't upload pictures here.

The Countdown Continues

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:15:30 GMT

...until the day Xanga lets me blog again.

About 6,000 credits more...then I can upload pictures once again!

Until then...here's a random old picture from 3 or 4 years ago.

And here's a random picture of my husband. He has really blue eyes sometimes.

Happy Tuesday!

A country girl rapping!

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:54:44 GMT

Respect the old school and make room for the new

Now tell me you don't love what this country girl can do

So tell me what you need and Christina will make it happen

Things are changing; we got a country girl rappin'!

2 weeks and 4 resumes later, and still no word on the jobs Matthew applied for in Traverse City. Getting a new job takes awhile…I guess it teaches patience.

In other news, our kickball team won our first game last night!

Happy Modern Day Hippy Day!

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:56:35 GMT

I'm not a hippy, but if I were, I would have joyous fun being one.

I wouldn't be a 60's or 70's hippy. History wasn’t really my thing so I really don't know much about hippies back then. I mean, I don't even know if it was the 60's or the 70's when hippies existed. But I would be a modern day hippy. Just for fun!

To be a modern day hippy…

MOTTO! I would have a motto. It would be: Love, Joy, Peace Ya'll!

ENTHUSIASTIC KINDNESS! I would have a warm, bubbly personality with a smile and a big bear hug for everyone I met.

BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES! I would wear lots of bright colors and any jewelry I considered pretty no matter how tacky others might think it is.

STUNNING WALL ART! I would take pictures of every pretty flower or cute critter or wondrous sunset and get poster-sized prints made of them. Then I would hang them in my apartment in frames I made with my own two hands.

I AM THE BAND! I would write songs and post them on Xanga for all my Xanga friends to listen to. They'd tell me they were awesome even though I can't sing because they'd all be modern day hippies, too!

PAINTED VEHICLES! I would paint my truck with all kinds of colors and designs. I'd paint huge hearts flowers on the doors (because hearts and flowers are pretty and easy to paint.) And I'd paint peace sings and trees to show I care about all things peaceful and kind.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR! I'd wear long hair with braids just to look pretty. And I'd wear flowers in my hair (because flowers are pretty, too!)

TRAVELING FRIENDS! I'd travel around. (Who really wants to be stuck in an office, anyway) and make friends with all sorts of people. We won't discuss politics or business; we'll just have fun together and play yard games in the grass all day and make s'mores around a bonfire at night

FEET! I'd wear sandals because they're comfy and let your toes breathe. Plus, they're easy to take off and put back on. And I'd wear cowboy boots in the winter because I like they way they look. And I would always have painted toenails.

SKIP THE BELL BOTTOMS! I wouldn’t wear bell bottoms. That's silly. But I'd decorate my jeans with all kinds of sparkly sparkles. They'd fit well and flatter my figure.

LOVE! I would show everyone how much I loved them, how much I loved life, and how much God loves us all.

Now you can be a hippy too!

You're welcome to stop in and have a cold soda

Big city boys and stuck up super models

We don't care where you're from, as long as you're polite

But push come to shove and every one of us will fight!

(Just a little hick hock...I need 6,500 credits then I can post pictures again!)

The Job Search Continues

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:38:21 GMT

Matthew called on a job today in Kalkaska.

The job was for a part time mechanic so Matthew called to ask if they would consider hiring someone full time.

The boss wasn't home, but his wife was. She said that they only need a part time mechanic but that if he was looking for a job, her father was looking to hire a mechanic for his towing company. (Matthew currently works as a mechanic for a towing company.)

So he said he was interested in both jobs.

The boss's wife also told Matthew that if we weren't ready to buy a house, they have a house they would be willing to rent us in the area for the same amount we are paying in rent for our apartment right now.

It's nice to know we have options!

Popcorn Love

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:24:06 GMT

In kindergarten, he let me eat out of his bag of popcorn on recess. In kindergarten, sharing things was love.

In 3^rd grade, he threw pieces of popcorn in the air and we tried to catch them in our mouths. In 3^rd grade, playing was love.

In 6^th grade, he gave me a quarter to buy my own bag of popcorn. In 6^th grade, giving was love.

In 8^th grade, he bought me a tin of popcorn for Christmas with a little note that said, "I heart U." In 8^th grade, kindness was love.

In 10^th grade, he took me to the movies and we both ate popcorn. In 10th grade, spending time together was love.

In 12^th grade, he took me to the movies and we shared a bag of popcorn. In 12^th grade, being close was love.

In college, he made popcorn for us over the campfire and we watched the fireflies sparkle. In college, sharing experiences was love.

At 22, he reserved the downtown theatre to watch my favorite movie. I found a little ring in the bottom of our bag of popcorn. At 22, doing something extra special was love.

At 24, he made a bowl of popcorn and poured it into two bowls. He gave it to his best man to deliver to my maid of honor who gave it to me to eat while I waited for the wedding to begin. At 24, looking out for each other was love.

At 26, he snuck up behind me and dumped popcorn over my head while I was watching a TV show. At 26, playing with each other was love.

At 28, he brought popcorn into the hospital room and offered to hold our new baby while I ate. At 28, being a family was love.

At 30, he made popcorn for me and our children and fed it to us "airplane style." At 30, playing as a family was love.

At 35, he asked our daughter to make popcorn for everyone. At 35, teaching your children and allowing them to do "grown up things" (like make popcorn) was love.

At 40, he packed a box full of popcorn and other care-package items to send to our daughter at college. At 40, caring more for others than yourself was love.

At 45, he made 30 bags of popcorn and put them in a big bowl for the guests at our daughter's wedding reception. At 45, throwing parties was love.

At 50, he made popcorn for all the grandkids as he told sleepover stories beneath the living room furniture "tent" about how we met. At 50, sharing, giving, playing, caring, partying, teaching, and being a family was love.

Would you buy the house?

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:31:24 GMT

Pretend you found the perfect house.

You and your husband really really really want it.

The house is just what you've both always wanted.

You've been looking for a place with acres and this has 20.

It's below your price range.

Because you've been house-hunting for the past 2 years, you are confident that it's the deal of a lifetime!

However, it's located 3 hours away from where you currently work.

You're working on finding jobs near the house, but haven't yet.

Do you:

a) Put a reasonable offer on the house while continuing to look for jobs

b) Put a very low offer on the house and decide what to do after the seller counter-offers

c) Forget buying the house until you've found jobs in the area.

d) Forget a house. Live in an RV.

e) Buy 100 lottery tickets and hope you win and never have to work again!

d) Forget working…Become a homeless bum in the Bahamas and live off of welfare and socialized medical insurance.

Cute Pictures Alert!

Check out this hero duck story. HERE

A bunch of ducklings were stuck on a log in the water. All of them were able to swim off it except one little one. So his mom helped him onto her back and rescued him!
