FRIDAY NIGHT PICTUREPALOOZA

Enjoy this and the next four entries...I found them all at neatorama.com.

If you're at work and thinking you're having a bad day, just remember that you don't collect elephant poop for a living!

OH HONEY...YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE!

Nothing says "I Love You" like an anatomically correct gummy heart. Now there's romance at it's finest!

NOW THAT'S JUST CRAPPY!

It's a bird! It's a plane! No...it's SUPER COLON! Able to let super farts in a single grunt! The super colon is an inflatable, 20-foot long, 8-foot high replica of a human colon. I'm thinking the kids would love this at our next church picnic....

JUST PLAIN WEIRD!

Okay...now this is just plain weird!!!!! When a loved one, or a loved pet dies, you can have their ashes made into either a diamond or pencil lead. One body equals about 240 pencils. Now there's a souvenir to give out to mourners as the leave the funeral! Or when someone compliments you on your beautiful ring, you can say "Thanks! It's mom!"

MOOOOOOOOOO!

LOL! I can't believe I found this on the net!

I was just telling the people in our ThBS about the "Used Cows" sign I have seen a few times when in Kentucky. I was just sitting here, vegging out and checking out Neatorama.com, when I came across this picture.

I remember the first time I went by it, I thought I must have read it wrong. On the way back, I saw it again. I just laughed and laughed!

I did call just a bit ago to find out what the cows have been used for, but all I got was an answering machine. What they have been used for, I don't really know...and not sure I want to know....MOOOO!

GOD'S ARTWORK

MY "DAY OFF"

Okay...let's just face it...no such thing as a day off! But I was surrounded with such beautiful people today that it made my day a pleasure!

This is Deb. She is one of my students in a basic writing class and a great friend and blessing in my life.

While Deb was here, my brother, Scott, stopped by. I always love spending time with him.

This is my long time cohort in crime, Anthony. He and I have been learning together for many years, and spending time with him is always a joy!

This is Collin. He is not only one of my piano students, but also my nephew. He's crazy like his Aunt Lisa (at least he comes by it honestly).

Another piano student whom I dearly love: my niece, Casey. Isn't she beautiful?

One of the great things of having my niece and nephew come for lessons is that my other nieces, nephews, sister and sister-in-law come along, too. I get to see so many people I love.

This is Eric, one of my older students. He is a dedicated practicer (hey, I can make up words, I teach English) and always does a super job at lessons.

This is Eric's younger brother, Andrew. He always has a gleam of mischief in his eye and is a good practicer as well.

The day ended with a wonderful surprise! My friend, Connie, and her two beautiful daughters, CJ and Lyndsey, joined us for dinner and some hot tubbing.

How blessed I am to have such awesome people in my life to spend my "day off" with.

BOOK REVIEW

I just finished this book tonight and decided to write a review on it. Although I really like John Fischer's daily insights at his site, Fishtank, I was not overly impressed with this book.

The book is written in journal form, and mentions the word "coffee" or "Starbucks" so many times that it becomes really distracting and annoying. Although I was able to glean a few things out of the book that I found insightful or helpful, for the most part, I just wanted to shout out to him "get over yourself already!" I did enjoy the last 4 chapters of the book, but it focused much less on Christianity and told about the stories of people he has met along the way.

If you really want to get to know the quirks of this author, then it's a good book to read. If you are looking for some spiritual insight, there was little in there to draw off of.

Although I was not overly impressed with this book, I have not given up on this author yet. I also have purchased his book Good Christians Don't (with an X through the "don't") Dance. I'm hoping it will be more insightful than this book, and I hope and pray it doesn't mention Starbucks. If you are interested in reading this book, feel free to borrow it from me.
