SPAM Can Be Funny

I get at least 40 SPAMS a day in my e-mail! The subject line to one of them today made me laugh out loud:

"Never eat more than you can lift."

What a great life lesson...

A very Bizarre Happening

So, this guy at Panera just went over to the coffee dispensers and dispensed hot coffee over a couple of napkins, dripping coffee all over the floor, then he ventured back to his table and wiped it down with his wet coffee napkins! What the heck is that all about? Is coffee a good household cleaner? Does it have antibacterial properties? I don't think so.

I'm listening to the self-titled album by Bob Dylan. Good stuff.

I started reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac last night. I read it my freshman year of college and decided it was time to read it again. I love it! Good book.

I think I just burnt my tongue on my Hazelnut coffee. It'll probably feel weird when I eat later.

On my mind lately

James 1:1-1:8
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

Trials and Temptations
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

I cut my deck to the queen of spades, but the cards were all the same.

I've always wanted a Moosejaw hoodie. Yesterday they were 50% off. CRAZY! I got a gray one with orange and blue lettering. Cool. Love hoodies:)

I'm in Panera Bread right now using their free internet. Fun. I love coming here lately to study and do stuff on the computer. It's cozy and bright and there's coffee and food. Nice.

I'm listening to Dire Wolf by Grateful Dead. Good song, not quite sure if the song has any deep meaning, but I do know this:

From The Werelist:

"Canis Dirus, or the Dire Wolf, was a species of wolf that existed in the Pleistocene epoch (ice age) some 13,000 + years ago. Very closely related to the modern gray or timber wolf, the dire wolf was only slightly larger (perhaps around 5 1/2 - 6 feet in overall length and average of 130 lbs) with stockier legs, a smaller brain, and larger teeth. These features lead researchers to believe that the dire wolf was more like the modern day hyena in it's behavior."

...and my favorite part of their description:

"And just to clear up a few misconceptions, the dire wolf was not overly large, was not a superior predator, and did not have snaggle fangs."

And I always thought it had snaggle fangs!

Thought of the day

“We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.”

Phillip S. Bernstein

Creepy

This is the weirdest thing ever!

Begging

This is Joey begging me to play with her. Notice her favorite toy, a peacock feather. She likes to lay next to it and stare at me. I usually give in. She's just too cute!

Classy Puppies

Usually I think that dogs wearing clothes are ridiculous, but these puppies are just the cutest!

"May You Savor Each Word Like a Raspberry"

I've been listening to the music of Judee Sill for the past couple weeks. I was listening to a song by the Hollies on the Elizabethtown Soundtrack, and later found out that it was originally a Judee Sill song. Her story is very interesting, I love the sound of her voice, her music is unique, and her lyrics are thoughtful. She released only a few albums; the first one in 1971. She died at age 35 in '79.

Go to the Judee Sill Main Page to read about different accounts of her life. There is also a sweet site with free MP3's of some demos and unreleased concert recordings. Cool. My favorite song is Lady-O. I like the story she shares on how this song came to be. I also like Crayon Angels (you can hear it at Myspace...see below).


UPDATE:

So, I just found out like two minutes ago that someone set up a Myspace account for Judee. It has some cool pictures and you can listen to her music. Check it out here.

Meijer

You know those Meijer commercials with the slogan "Lower prices, Higher standards" ......well, it should be, "Same prices, Lower standards." Seriously, they rarely have decent produce and cannot compete with the local food markets. The carrots are usually bendy, the cauliflower starts going brown the first day you buy it, and I end up throwing away half of my head of lettuce.

For a change, yesterday I went to my favorite health food/vitamin store (Foods For Living), and bought my supplies for salads. It was all organic and it was the freshest produce I've eaten in a LONG time. The cauliflower is amazing! The carrots are crunchy and full of flavor. I've always liked broccoli, but this was the first time that I loved it! It tastes like I just picked it straight off the plant in my backyard (if I had a broccoli plant in my backyard).

Joey in a Tunnel

I bought Elfie and Joey a kitty play tunnel about a month ago. I take it out once in awhile for them to play in it, but they've never slept in it until tonight! Elfie is usually more interested in the tunnel than Joey is, but tonight Joey took a nap inside the tunnel for about an hour. She was so precious...

Salads

I love homemade salads that I make myself. My salads usually consist of lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, and green pepper. I also add a little salad dressing, cheese, and some bacon bits (the real bacon kind). I love for most of the salad to be the veggies, and I love cutting them up very small. DELICIOUS!!! I love how colorful the salad looks before I add the toppings and mix it all up. It's like a work of art. Vegetables are so vibrant in color, and they're completely natural! God make a work of art when he made vegetables! So, here are some photos of my salad masterpiece.
