Gurl...Git down wicha bad self!

Our dear Hilary is FAMOUS!! Well, maybe not, but she sure did what she does best, and she did it on the news. What's that you say? That would be the electric slide. Please enjoy the following video. Hilary's debut shows up around 01:17. She's about the only white girl with the brown hair and purple dress toward the bottom right of the screen. Woohoo!!!!

Do Over??

So, this morning was one of those mornings. It started out with my alarm clock going off at 6:00am, and me hitting snooze until 7:30am. I put a pot of coffee on and rushed to get myself ready. I managed to find clean clothes, brush my hair and teeth and even put on a little makeup. I was on track, until it was time to make my coffee and head off to work. I pour the coffee, half of which I pour onto the counter. Awesome. I wipe it up quickly, b/c I have to be to work in 10 minutes, and it takes about about 20 minutes to get to work. I open the fridge and pull out the last of my milk. It's not quite enough, so I pull out the new carton of milk, only to discover that the carton was punctured somehow on the bottom, and there is now milk all over my refrigerator, floor, counter, etc. I decide to pour the milk into the empty carton, so I don't have to dump all of it out. I wipe the milk up, and as I go to rinse the sponge off, I catch my coat sleeve on the faucet and water pours into my coat. And cool. So now, it's approximately 8:30 (I'm supposed to be at work now), I have half the coffee I wanted to drink, half the milk I had originally purchased, a wet left coat sleeve/shirt sleeve/cold arm b/c it's only 11 degrees outside.

All that to say, sometimes I wish you could shout out, "DO OVER!" and the day would begin again. Wouldn't that be nice?

New Years Resolutions

We all make them, whether we write them down on paper, or just make a subconscious list. So, I'd love to hear your New Year's Resolutions? What are your dreams for 2009?

I'll start...I have many, but one is this...I want to dream again. 2008 was FULL...full of appointments, parties, get-togethers, classes, practices. It was FULL of stress, hardship, questions. It was FULL of life, joy, laughter. It was FULL. And in the midst of it all, I forgot to dream. I want to dream again, about what is in store for me in this life. I want to be excited about the things the Lord is doing and will do. I want to look down the road and see purpose again. It's not that I lost hope or lost the ability to dream. I just didn't make the time to actually do it! So, this year, I'm slowing things down, and I'm going to dream again.

What about you?
