Johari Window

i saw

this on

mrs fish's blog and thought that it would be neat to have on mine as well. i know that a lot of people who i talk to through blogging have never met me in person and vice versa but like mrs fish said you still know me through my blog so maybe you can still play along too. i've heard about these but i don't think that i have ever done one.

Three Things Thursday

post valentine's day tribute to valentine years past:

1. our first valentine's day together was when we were dating and we were poor college students. we went to mcdonalds and got the two big mac's for $2.22 and my hubby bought two plastic wine glasses and we had sparkeling grape juice and big mac's at the park. odd combination but memorable.

2. most of our valentine days since then haven't been so good. mainly because we were either sick or something else crazy happened. like the first year we were married we went to see a movie and then went to eat at the carribean restraunt. we waited for over 2 hours. why don't all restraunts take reseverations on valentine's day? by the time we were seated and got our food we were exausted from waiting and hunger so we ate in about 20 min and left, going straight home and to sleep.

3. this year we decided to celebrate after the fact, so we are going away for two nights this weekend to a hot springs resort. i'm very excited because i think for both of us it's a much needed break.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Just wanted to wish all the bloggers out there a

Happy Valentine's Day.

This morining when I woke up

and opened my box of cereal for breakfast

there was my valentine card from my husband.

It's so funny that he put it in the box of cereal

but it made me smile.

Silly man! But I love him.

TTT is there

okay. so i wrote my TTT on wednesday and posted it today but it showed up on my wednesdays post so scroll down to see it.

page

to go to. after you see all the words then just right click and save to your computer and somehow paste it onto your blog. i hope the directions aren't directionally challenged because i tend to be sometimes. :)

Three Things Thursday

some of my favorite foods:

1. ice cream. i know it's not really a real food, maybe girly food but i love it anyways. my absoulute favorite is

bluebell peppermint

however, i am a big fan of chocolate too so in the chocolate catagory i'd go with

tillamook mudslide

rich chocloate ice cream with chocolate fudge pieces and a thick fudge ripple. yummy!

2. pizza. i'm getting a little more adventurous with my pizza toppings. i'm usually a peperoni pizza only girl so adverturous for me is sausage and peppers. i also like the hawaiian pizzas. sorry

amberj

i know you aren't a fan of those. :)

3. crawfish. for those who are like WHAT ARE CRAWFISH? some people call the crawdads and they are seafood that look like

this

i love them boiled, in gumbo, jambalaya, or soup. it's all good. i've been known to eat a couple pounds of boiled crawfish. "don't eat the dead one's!"

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

as i was driving tonight to a friends house i decided to put in my

Susan Ashton

cd. thanks

Stephanie

for mentioning her, it made me remember that i had one of her cd's.

so i'm listiening to the music and singing the words. now keep in mind that i think the first time i heard her music was in the early '90's, when she first came out and it was probably in '98ish when i stopped listening to her music. not because i didn't like it but because music changes so much and i was probably listening to something newer.

anyways, as i was listening to her music and singing the words i couldn't help but smile at the fact the i remembered almost all the words to the songs on that cd. i sat there smiling, singing and being amazed at how God can create us. body, soul and mind. especially mind. there are times, at only 26, when i think that i am loosing mine. like when i put the milk in the cabinet. and i am sure there are more but with it being late and all my mind isn't functioning at full speed, so i forget. but here i am singing songs that i haven't sung in 7+ years. where do they get stored? how in the world does you mind remember the massive amount of words that are put on cd's but can't seem to remember where you placed your car keys. i was just in awe at the Awesomeness of God and His Creation.

Sad for the Seahawks

so what an upsetting loss for the seahawks.

even though i thought that there were a few bad calls on the seahawks, good job steelers.

there's always next year seahawks.

Seahawks Vs. Steelers

don't know if anyone out there that happens to stop by my spot watches football or is even interested in the superbowl this sunday, but i thought that i would see who everyone if cheering for to win. i'm going for the Seahawks. just thought i'd take a poll. hope eveyone has a great weekend. enjoy the game. :)

Francine Rivers

Karen Kingsbury

John Grisham

Robin Jones Gunn

Dee Henderson

1. Clouds and Woodlands by Robin Jones Gunn. i started to read her books when i was younger, The Christy Miller Series and on to the Sierra Jensen Series and i just didn't stop reading her books. i don't think that there is a book of her's that i don't like.
