You ever go and buy yourself special occasion dresses and then try to figure out another occasion to wear them on afterwards? That’s what I am doing with the dress I bought specifically for my husband’s reunion! I don’t have any clue what I could possibly wear it to, although the shoes are transcendent. I love the dress, though… it’s HOT. I have to figure out something. I can’t let it go to waste!

45 mins worth of video being uploaded sucked up all the rest of my bandwidth and then some. I was uploading the videos from my husband preaching. I was shocked to see just how much bandwidth it takes to upload stuff. I knew it was a lot, but dang! I think it took about a gig of bandwidth. So I am relegated to McD hopping so I can work *and play* on the net till the usage flips. Oy!

SO 2 of our affiliated churches have begun their Daniel Fasts for the month of January. That means you are only going to be able to eat vegetables, fruits, and holistic type foods. Organic Food Baskets would be a great gift for someone doing this particular fast. Everything in the basket is completely fast-friendly. It is a nice addition to the fast, since you can just put the basket on the table and munch away. I would adore a basket like that on my table!

I usually enjoy the chirping of birds in general. Their unique songs and styles are truly an artform to behold. I love it as long as the birds are NOT in my WINDOW@!!! OMW!!! Today this one bird just had no other place to sing than to be right in my ear, right next to my open window, as loud as he could. OY. You would have thought it was springtime. I asked him NICELY to get-ta-goin and find another place to chirp. He did, after a few choice chirps… and then his friend decided to come and try his hand at getting loud in my ear. Of course, all to the same result. Now they are happily chirping far from my window sill, sounding beautiful as ever…
