It's me, Charity

I thought this was funny so I had to put it here so I would remember and of course share it with you!! An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big city church. He came home and his wife asked him how it was. “Well,” said the farmer. “It was good. They did something different, however. They sang praise choruses instead of hymns.” “Praise choruses?” asked the wife. “What are those?” “Oh, they’re okay. They’re sort of like hymns, only different,” said the farmer. “Well, what’s the difference?” asked the wife. The farmer said, “Well it’s like this . . . if I were to say to you, ‘Martha, the cows are in the corn,’ well that would be a hymn. If, on the other hand, I were to say to you, ‘Martha, Martha, Martha, Oh, Martha, MARTHA, MARTHA, the cows, the big cows, the brown cows, the black cows, the white cows, the black and white cows, the COWS, COWS, COWS are in the corn, are in the corn, are in the corn, in the CORN, CORN, CORN, COOOOORRRRRNNN...

Katie Marie and I went shopping tonight. Alone. Without the bubbies. It was a momentous occasion. I helped her get a festive dress for her date with the hubs tomorrow night. I love picking out clothes for her! She has a perfect body, even though she doesn't think so, so she can wear alot of different styles. I arrived at the store before her, grabbed a sales person and we took off looking for a specific style. And we found it! Less than 2 mins in the store and I had found the perfect dress for her. I just had to wait for her to arrive :) Soon she did, tried it on and voila!! I love fast shopping!!! And I really love shopping for other people!! So Katie got an awesome dress, ON CLEARANCE NO LESS!! And I ended up with two dresses on clearance as well!! One of them is brown and blue and I"m wearing it to Emily's wedding this Saturday. Since we seem to be in an arctic freeze and snow is all over the place I needed some boots for it. So we headed to The Walmarts and found a cut...

Yes I was outside in the snow like a crazy loon, taking a picture for my Bestie Kim so she could see what snow looks like. (Crazy Floridian thinks its cool!) We got a lot more snow after this, this was taken right after church. And lucky me, I got to drive in it! I had to drive back to L town in really what was alot like blizzard conditions. I couldn't see 50 ft in front of me pretty much the whole way here. I did finally make it back to town. In two hours. Two very long hours. Two very long hours of not fully being able to see out your windshield because your wipers kept icing up. Two long hours of having to pee because your Mom told you to finish your punch before you left. BAD IDEA. But I am home and carried my 15 tons of presents upstairs to my apt. Shockingly most is put away but my kitchen table is looking a tad rough. Anyways its now 18 degrees and is still snowing. Have I mentioned that I hate winter?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ~John 3:16

Its bad when you are almost a week past what you wanted to blog about, the memory starts going and it becomes old news. I did have a wonderful weekend last weekend!! Friday after work I worked out and then rushed home to change and be picked up by Katie and the bubbies. I applied a liberal amount of bath and body works Japanese cherry blossom (SOOO GOOD!!) and lets just say that for the rest of the night Katie and I both had the taste of it in our mouths. yuck. She picked me up with the bubbies and I got to hear a fascinating story from Joey about the little drummer boy. Did you know his parents died in a fire? I sure didn't. And then we heard some more 5 yr old theology which cracks me up and makes me want to cry at the same time. Joey is learning so much about Jesus at school it is SO AWESOME!!!! We arrived at Katie's parents house and had an interesting dinner with her Mom. Katie gave me permission to blog about this.. Her Mom wanted us to stay the night and have a sleepover...
