THE PERFECT MIRROR!

I've been keeping my eye out for a mirror to put in my little bathroom. Today, I found it. The One. The Perfect Mirror!

The Perfect Color. The Perfect Size.
The Perfect amount of detail. The Perfect amount of history behind it.
The Perfect amount of scratches, dirt, distress.
And the Perfect price. $12.99 at good old Arc's Value Village.

"Oh, well Reese Roper is my son."


This past weekend was spent at STMLC (Short-Term Mission Leaders Conference). STEM Int'l, the non-profit I work for, puts together and hosts this conference every year. We fly in really great speakers for our sessions and workshops. This year, one of my tasks was to pick up one of the workshop leaders from the airport. I am generally nervous about these types of things, because I'm not that great at talking to people I don't know. More specifically, I have a difficult time thinking of questions to ask to get the conversation flowing.

I knew a couple things about this woman, Ruth. One, that she was flying in from Denver. So once her bags were safely in my trunk, we zipped out of the airport and got to chatting. I asked her if she had any family in Denver, and she said yes. She asked me if I had heard of the band Five Iron Frenzy. I immediately replied "Yes! I went to the final show in Denver back in 2003!". Ruth replied "Oh, well Reese Roper is my son."

I didn't expect to hear that!

CONGRATS GRANT & COLLEEN!

JAMES IS OUT

Those of you who watch reality TV, specifically Big Brother 9, may also be mourning the loss of James, who was voted out tonight. I was seriously bummed about it. He was the most truthful person to play the game. Also, the biggest threat. After winning the POV the last 3 weeks, he was finally defeated and voted out.

Goodbye, James! (My last hope for a winner is now Sharon).

TOO LONG
So, somehow, I managed to not hang out with Anna for 2 years! How did time get away from me so quickly? We finally hung out lastnight and I got to see her new house. Maren and I went over to scrapbook, but we mostly chatted and caught up. It was so good to see Anna and spent time with her. There will be much more of that in the future, I promise.
