Prayer.

Today please take a moment to pray for Melissa over at Stretch Marks. She got some heartbreaking news at the doctor yesterday and needs a covering, ladies. �

Let's do the Exodus 17:12-13 thing for her today.

Look For My Picture On The Morning News

I think I just made my sister's life. I've never heard her laugh so hard or stare in such awe. It's true, ladies, she just witnessed me cleaning the toilet.�

Apparently, that brings her joy on�multiple�levels.

Who knew.

She is now posting pictures �AND VIDEO SHE TOOK of me: bathrobe, towel in hair and cleaning tools in hand on her MySpace page. Oh yes, she is taking it global.�

I'd show you the video but you would be traumatized for life. I promise.

So here are a few pics from our weekend.

Irked By Urkel

My sister just humbly reminded me of one of the single most embarassing moments of my life.

Let me set the stage for you: Christmas Eve. Presents under the tree. Pre-teen, Christmas excitement racing through my little heart. Grandparents house.

More specifically, my Grandmother.

Asking if I wanted to open my Christmas gifts in front of everyone (we have a HUGE family), I obviously asked, "Are they embarassing, Grandma?"

I was told, "Why, of course not."

I should've known better. There in front of my aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, siblings, dogs, cats, the Christmas tree and all of heaven, I am sure, my Grandmother handed me my gifts.

I opened them. And I kid you not she had wrapped a bra and Urkelos, The Cereal. I know you remember Steve Urkel. Now, imagine unwrapping him as your Christmas gift to the statement, "I know you have a crush on him."

"Um, no, Grandma."

My face was redder than Rudolph's nose, my cupcakes. Oh the horror.







Even higher on my Top Embarassing Moments List is the time they had to cut me out of the bathroom. But I'll save that one for a rainy day.

She Is Random.

You won?t believe some of the keyword search terms that are landing people here at my sites.

�

Here are my top favorites:

�

?her tail?

?cut my tail?

The unsuspecting Googlers who were searching those phrases, found themselves reading about the day I accidentally cut the tip of my cat?s tail off. Poor people?poor cat!

?pudding and pretzels?

Because that mix just screams delicious.

?bagel Schiffman?

Does my husband own a bagel shop I know nothing about? Because considering my love for New York bagels, this is something I should be aware of.

?how to kill a small tree?

The day I told the Lord I was so mad I could kill a small tree. Now the world knows how I deal with anger. �Please don?t write to me about the importance of God?s green earth, I know this. It was a metaphor of sorts.

How random is my writing, honestly? The simple fact people are typing ?cut my tail? and ?how to kill a small tree? into their search engines and �then finding themselves reading my writing with those phrases laced within is hysterical to me.

Got any random phrases you want to dare me to try?�

P.S. My favorite search term: "God is enough".�He is.�
