B.I.B.
New rules. Self-regulation. Before I blog [B.I.B.] I must accomplish the following on a daily basis:
- I must get some form of exercise-
- I must clean something; room, laundry, catbox, me-
- I must water my flowers- {must plant first}
- I must have my Bible study caught up-
- I must have my MOTB list up to date-
- I must have the bills done-
- I must complete something on my ever-increasing to-do list-
Crap. I'm never gonna have time to blog.
We'll give it a go in the morning...I may have to incorporate some flexibility for mood swings...

Loretta,
I want you to know what a loser I am. I have been so blessed by your presence in viewing my blog and have never returned the favor. Tonight I did. I read every post you have...posted (it took like an hour and yes I read the "feminine napkin" remarks). So, I have so much running through my head and heart that I don't totally know what to say. Let me highlight a few things:
1. You are neato and I am glad I got to discover that on my own. It was always cool hearing Gil talk about MPCC and his friends. It is kinda weird that I follow him here, but God moves in weird ways. I am just thankful that even though we don't share the same hallway you are still in the same town. I am hoping for some more rendevouz (sp?) to have some food and laughs with you and Pam and others.
2. There comes a day when people look back on life and say, "I did that in the name of love?" Then they wish they could have done things differently. At least there is hope that once that day comes, we can learn from it, grow and move on to truly love others. And I am personally thankful God forgives me in those times of realization.
3. I am thankful the family of God stretches beyond our feeble understandings. That it does not matter what pew you sit in(Confucius say: Man who fart in church sit in his own pew) as long as you all you are is not a "pew-sitter".
4. I feel the pain of the loss of time with friends and the parts of God's family I left behind in Lebanon. They were my community more than I realized. It was out of my comfort zone to move to a new place and leave all that behind (okay it's not like I moved to the Amazon, but it was different). In all this, it is so good to say that I am forming new community here with new people. I feel stretched in ways I never imagined but hoped would happen. God is faithful through the transitions.
5. You really should consider becoming a wedding planner as your source of employment :) You should have it down after this next year. Geesh you are so well-planned!
6. When my child arrives I want piano lessons to start in the third week of existence- book it now. Okay, actually just need someone to change diapers. Yuck!
Maybe I should have just sent you an email because this is so long. But, if you are like me, you like seeing these comments posted, so I will leave this here.
Let me know when you and Pam wanna grab lunch again. I am down.
Peace
By replying I am already breaking my bib rules. Hold on...ok. Had to at least do a couple things on my list first :)
Thanks for the nice comments and for the blogathon you had last night. I'm glad we got to work with each other for a little while, and like I told you, I wish it had been under different circumstances...never the less...
I'll start designing some type of infant bench/pedal extension for that little one of yours and Pam is out of town a lot this week, so how about lunch somewhere next week??? That would be loverly.
Talk to you soon!
The first step is admitting you have a problem....
Seriously, you need to keep writing, it gives me something to do around here!
