Well, Christmas is almost upon us. I have been having all sorts of crafty ideas for making presents... most of which I shall not do, as I am in my "confinement". But I have been reading these message boards with all these do it yourself ideas, and I think I shall learn to sew. After the baby is born, of course. Far too challenging in one's bed.
I would love to be able to sew my own curtains and comforters and of course, baby stuff... I am going back to the earth, a little.
I don't want an organic garden... I just want to cook my food from scratch and be crafty with making toys and such. But all this craftiness will have to wait until April.. or May, preferably. When QMC is born and I can be up and around... and I have my new minivan (wolf whistle).
So, what do you want for Christmas? Like, what's your big fantasy-the-ship-came-in-this-year-in-Jerusalem present? And then what are your normal ones??
And a Toby update: he seems MUCH improved this morning.
PS: a very happy birthday to any lurking schluters ... you know who you are =)

mega awesome christmas present?
An official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time
nah...I'll shoot my eye out
I'd rather have a macbook, with core 2 duo processor adn 2 gigs of ram
disclaimer: of course I am grateful. I can still gripe.
Christmas is hard when you're pregnant for 10 years in a row... I love clothes. But I have too many maternity clothes. And when I am not pregnant (what a thought) I don't know what size I will be. So clothes are pretty much out. Plus, for the next 5 months I will be sporting my grey stretchy pants and Richy's t-shirts... 6 days a week.
I like books. Books always work.
I'd like a midnight blue 2007 Toyota Sienna.
3 carseats. challenging
but anyway, I love Siennas... and Corollas. I just want the newest ones.
Gift cards...are fun, but you know how fun it is to open a present.
hey hey
Planning ahead? How goes the romance?
I want a sewing machine... Richy said if I go to 40 weeks, I'll get one when I come home.
cars eh...
Red 1965 VW Beetle, Ragtop with stroked 1914cc engine with dual weber carbs, or turbocharged. With a freeway flyer tranny and scat drag fast shifter and uh...a matching 1960's VW Bus...for fun
and a 1953 Chevy Pickup...like my pal Caleb has. That I might buy from him...b'cuz it's awesome
ooo
4runners...I love them
I found a 2001 or 2003, I don't remember, it was a limited, with all of EVERYTHING...leather, sunroof, it had it all. only 11000
man, i wanted it so bac
mmmm... Golden Corrall
when I was going to the mommy group we would grade restaraunts based on their reaction to 6 high chairs and 14 chairs or whatever...
Applebees LOST
Rancho Grande never bats an eye, and they didn't seat us "out of the way"
a VW bus to match... what a sick twisted capitalist fantasy
Really, all I'd like is world peace
and a yacht
I'm very unimpressed with Applebees
the food isn't all that great...except the chicken fingers...they were awesome. Or maybe I was just hungry. But the salads, the steaks, the sandwiches...are ALL mediocre. Which seems to be the case with restaraunts that try to do too many things. I think that restraunts should not try to cook all these different kinds of food...they turn out being mediocre.
They should choose a genre of food, and stick to it, and learn to do it well...instead of quantity.
hey Jen I just found your myspace....
well, I have a hard time choosing between the bug and the bus...I blame it on being vastly German...eh, what can I say?
both my parents have driven at LEAST 3 vintage VWs EACH. as well as my uncles...adn my cousin, and I've already owned 2...
I'm an "air-head"...they're air cooled cars...you call their enthusiasts airheads
I would also like a maid/nanny and an interior decorator with an unlimited budget.
Guess what I have coming in the mail... A Christmas Story from Blockbuster!
weeeeee
I used to want a Bug. Don't know when I stopped.
the one I quoted earlier
Do tell, Jennifer. I told somebody about your romance last night and Richy said I was gossiping but NO I said because you said it yourself right here on the blag
yep, that's the one
hmm...beautiful...not a word often used to describe a burly, hairy man
that's how my mom would describe one... especially with long hair
I have a lot of bugs that you can have if you want one for Christmas.
12/5
Happy Bday to Nathan and Sharon
and happy bday to Andy
I Love him!
ahhhh so sweet
I had John and Val and my sweet grandson home for a day (to check on grandmama)this weekend.
She is healed!
I'm thinking about having a De-lurking week where I allow anon comments and everyone can say Hi
How about "Come Out of the Closet Week"
Instruct on how easy it is to make a profile and get them to do it.
All I want for Christmas is Keith's two front teeth... Keith's two front teeth... Keith's two front teeth.
We can have mottos like "Lurks Are Jerks!"
I agree with Jen on coming out of the closet... I don't want to know! I don't want to know! I can't hear you!lalalalalaaalalalala
I am drowning in transparencies. I brought them home to fix them up and a whole bunch of them I don't think Matt will EVER use.
Like
ruler of my heart
Days of Elijah
Dive me Jesus(?)
His name is Jahweh
I could sing of your love
I will fly away
Let everything that has breath
and O Jah
One time we did O Jah, I think it will never happen again.
Needed work,
I mean some of those are as popular as the old song
Drop Kick Me Jesus Through the Goal Post of Life
Ha Ha
I am still laughing about that one!
God's unflailing love
Same thing happens to me. I just will never see that song the same again.
Now come on, you just have to specify WHAT closet your talking about!
If you got multiple closets, blog lurking is the ONLY one we want you to still the beans on here.
You mean a MCF congregation could possibly abandon "Days of Elijah"?
That would almost be blasphemy worth burning at the stake!
After you eat the beans, the effect of them causes one to move around a lot. . . down wind from the crowd or to an empty room at home, so stilling the beans is an art that should be mastered by all married men.
yeah, don't bother mama when she's making me some lentil stew
gosh thats long...
fyi I eat green things... in stews or soups
There is nothing wrong with bugs.
Grown ups are wimps.
Women are also wimps.
if you've ever had a phone conversation wtih Briana...then you know girls can talk alot...
jeez, she can go forever!
it's not a bad thing...at all
"and
if you are entertaining
this idea
any time soon
you might as well
get used to this!!!!!!!!!"
entertaining ideas...gets you into trouble...heart trouble and stuff
no more entertainment
I dont' WANT my MTV
not sin...
distraction,
don't worry about it Kat
This is for you, Josh
Flatulence forces plane landing
I feel so loved to know that you think of me when you see news articles about flatulence. You are a true friend.
Technically the article title is misleading in that it was the smell of matches, not the flatulence that brought the plane down. It would’ve been glorious to bring it down for flatulence alone, but now it’s just dumb that someone lit a match on a plane.
She missed a good opportunity to become famous!
Lurking Schluters? I can’t believe it.
And, it WAS turbulence that brought the plane down, if you get by draft. . . I mean drift.
And, the lady should’ve gone to jail. She could’ve killed 99 people. Lighting a match with concentrated flatulence in an enclosed space can become dangerous very quick.

...
how come nobodily took a look-see at my blog and my gingerbread houses???
i got new pics on there...
jess - send me yore streetily addressio... NOWWW...
got it...
Sometimes we go a week without getting the mail from our PO Box, then we were at Shannon’s parents for a week, so we just got The Overflow Friday from the PO Box, on our way to dinner at friend’s home. I listened to half over the weekend. Shannon is out shopping, and I just listened to the rest while playing with Keith on the floor.
Music has been helping Keith get to sleep lately, but he doesn’t like slow / nursery rhyme / classical music. He likes it good and with a good beat. It helps him zone out on something and fall asleep. I just got him asleep for his nap to “Find In Me A Home,” from speakers plugged into my MP3 player. That song is gets pretty rocky, but Keith likes it. Looks like Keith will be a rocker too. I put the track on repeat to let it minister to him while he sleeps.
What some may find cooler is-- I was trying to sync our full digital camera to the PC while playing with Keith. I plugged in the camera to the USB and went back to Keith while the pics loaded. I was so into playing with Keith that I totally forgot about the camera and heard in auto shut off 20 minutes later. I went back, turned it back on, and plugged in the USB again, then 20 minutes later I heard it auto shut off again! I got engrossed in playing with Keith yet again and totally forgot about it a 2nd time.
It’s just so fun!
I do know, and so should you.
Here's a hint...
taller than you, but shorter than John Terry.
Does that help?
AND he has a revivalist' name
Another hint...
He’s hairier than you, but not as hairy as a grizzle.
Does that narrow it down more?
So Jess, is Keith a rocker or is he a rocker?
He has beautiful blue? eyes and a smile like Jesus'
He has a heart for God...
He spends most of a worship service on his face...
or singing his heart out...
Matt
he's a rocker
He also has the name of a commentator on the Bible...
And, the begining of his last name is that of a farm animal.

Verses I was looking at this AM:
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasant. Proverbs 15:26
He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, but he who heeds rebuke gets understanding. Proverbs 15:32
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility. Proverbs 15:33
Shannon and I were just talking about that issue a couple weeks ago. You can’t boycott every store that isn’t “Christian owned and operated.” They are secular stores, trying to please everyone; and taking advice from PR people that are secular. Do you boycott every person that doesn’t celebrate Christmas? Telling the stores how you feel and trying to make a difference is part of being “in this world, but not of it.” If you boycott every store like that, then you’ll be buying all your stuff at the corner store.
Then, all your shirts will have Harleys and monster trucks on them. . . but at least you can get a Big Gulp on every shopping trip.
