Some People Call Me Maurice...
Some might say I'm a sell out...
My reply is I just created a new brand. No harm, no foul.
Don't worry, cause I'm right here. Yes, right here. Right here at home.
Disclaimer: This post was not "triggered" by any one person's words or such. It was just randomly thought out while doing some (once again, dangerous) thinking. Possibly by playing a wee bit too much Rock Band. But who's to say what is too much? Hmm?

Your Call Will Be Answered In Approximately 437 Minutes...
Thank you for holding!
I just want to take a moment to mention how thankful I am that God does not answer our prayers in the order which they were received, but in his time.
Further more, I'm glad that my matters are all in his hands, instead of someone at a call center who gets to randomly decide what is important and what is not.
To take it one step more with that statement, I'm even more grateful that God decides what is important, what is urgent, what can wait, and what should be ignored.
What it must be like to see it all from the big picture, and know the need before it is needed... To know what seems so important to us is actually rather insignificant... To see what we view as "URGENT" and know that it can actually wait, or vice versa.
I'm so glad I'm not in charge. And no offense, but I'm so glad you're not in charge either!

This Just In...
It's A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood
I took this photo at about 10:30 this morning. Isn't it beautiful to see the snow coming down so low? It is now 2:00 pm and I can see it thickening up and coming lower with the system that is moving through now.
I know Diania and others are sick of this weather, and I'm so sorry... but I'm so happy for this very last day of it. Especially with the picture perfect views!

Today Is The Greatest Day I've Ever Known...
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Now how does that not make you feel better, huh? Makes it hard to have a negative outlook, I'll say that much...

Mmm Mmm Good...
First of all.... What exactly do you do when you suddenly have a craving for Taco Bell, but yet the meat for lasagna is thawing? Such tough decisions! Whatever will I DO?!
Second:
Do you feel as though half of your arteries clogged up just by looking at this photo?
Really?
Probably because THEY DID!
See, the thing is, I'm having a really hard time here. Do I post my secret recipe for the world to see? Do I share my hints, tips, & secrets? Such a challenge!
It really is the best fried chicken ever, though. It even won the award for the best fried chicken ever. From who? Doesn't matter. But it's the best. Ever. Hands down. Period. I'm not just saying that because I'm biased either.
Maybe I'll make a decision as I layer my lasagna tonight and post it while it's baking... or not...

Merry Christmas! Also Happy Anniversary, New Year, Birthday, & MLK!
For most people, the day after Christmas brings a halt to the insanity that has everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Not in this home! No sir, we don't like to keep things boring around here. Since Bobby & I met in person and married in the few days after Christmas, our anniversary falls the day before New Year's Eve. Add to the fact that our daughter's birthday lands smack dab in the middle of January (usually around Martin Luther King Jr. day) and you've got one busy, tired family. We love it all though...
This last week, however, Bobby & I took a break. We sent the 2 little ones to my Mom's for 2 days and locked ourselves in the house. We slept like we've never slept before, ate delicious food, and played Rock Band for hours. (Who doesn't love that game? Seriously?!) I cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to have time alone where we could talk to each other, goof off, and both of us eat at the same time. I believe every parent should take one of these "getaways" at least once a year, with a 2 night minimum, if possible.
On that note, I'm so blessed to have a husband who takes the time to do something so valuable for our marriage and sanity. I'm even more blessed to have parents who love my children and take them for a few days.
Now, let's see if I can lay low and stay off the radar until mid-February... Yeah, right.

Clean
There's just something about a good rainfall that makes everything seem whole and pure. Kind of like the feeling after a good cry that was long coming. A release to allow all that has been penned up to let loose and clear out. The exhaustion that comes with it is both inevitable and welcome. Some of the best slumber is that which takes place during a storm. Laying with your eyes closed, listening to the thunder in the distance as the rain hits the window. Whether napping on a couch, bed, floor, car seat, desk chair, or bench... it's destined to be calming. If there's a chill in the air, even better.
I'm so thrilled for the rain we are enduring now and for the remainder of this week. I only hope that everyone is safe that is out there driving in it. It seems Californians never know how to handle this odd spectacle that is water falling from the sky and only happens about 3 times a year.
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new
emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Walk with me
Like lovers do
Talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Raining in my head like a tragedy
Tearing me apart like a new
emotion
Oooooh
I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you
So baby talk to me
Like lovers do
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new
emotion
(Here it comes again, here it comes
again)
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

Looks Like I've Done It Again..
I'm really lagging in the blog department lately, I know. Since I'm camped out on the couch with a cold, I thought I'd pause the DVR and put some of my thoughts out there as I haven't in a while...
Expect sporadic blogging to be taking place...
