bad idea

pop culture

so i was just watching popaganda and it was an episode about how religion has influenced pop music. what a surprise that some use it for album sales, but there was a quote i liked. they were talking about bono and how he has done more to promote Christianity through his actions than those who walk around proudly displaying their faith as a brand name. i can only aspire to be and do the same.

fall

i must say it's much too cold lately, but today turned into one of those beautiful fall days you wait for all year. lots of leaves to crunch under your feet, and a warm sun to kiss your face. lovely day for a walk with the snells dogs. ha! funny when you have to join others to walk the dog. but only 3 days till ugly betty!

apologies and confessions 2

check out Rae's blog for apologies and confessions#1. i've had way too many days like that in the past bit more than a month. today, not any better. but it's almost over and sleep is coming. ahhh sleep. and while i feel overwhelmed, they advertise a tv show of a family with 8 kids. i would be in an asylum if it were me. that's why it's not! ha! but on the Pollyanna side of things, the fall leaves and beautiful. nicely done Lord.

popcorn twists

gotta love them. such a child hood food. the kids are fighting over them eatting them out of a sponge bob lunch kit. i think i need a sponge bob lunch kit. though i did get 3 of the best t shirts in veas from the "stupid factory". the name of the store alone should tell you alot. "i found jesus. he was behind the couch". a pic of 3 garden gnomes,"hanging with my gnomies". a rock and a ruler talking,"you rock. you rule."simple mind, simple pleasures.

vegas

so, las vegas. great as always, but too short. 4 days was NOT enough. the phantom was the best performance i've seen of the 3 times i've seen it now. the actors were the best at emoting and their voices were fantastic. the theater was a beautiful replication of the paris opera house. spamalot was one of the funniest things i've ever watched. way to go eric idle! the tao beach was so much fun and beautiful, dancing the night away 2 nights in a row,aaaahhhhhhhh. the bed in our room stinking big room was delightfully comfortable. and the gondola ride was magic.it was really great to have NO responsibilities, and be able to be myself again for a moment. the moment was brief, and now gone. there isn't a "sigh" big enough to hold how i feel about that.
