I got the biggest kick out of reading your comments about where you live. I laughed out loud a bunch and teared up a few times, too (Wendy B’s comment really got me). So thanks for sharing, y’all – you brightened my day.
All righty. Here are a few links I’ve been meaning to post.
– These vintage cell phone commercials cracked me up (via MM).
– I have two giveaways going on right now: Seattle’s Best Coffee ($100 Amazon gift card) and Slim-Fast ($100 Slim-Fast prize pack).
– This Cover Tune Grab Bag video from Mercy Me just DELIGHTED me. So fun.
– My friend Carol’s post about how her two boys with Cerebral Palsy have exceeded all expectations made my heart smile and encouraged me as a mama.
– My husband loves The Jimmy Fallon Show. And this past Sunday night, when D was catching up on the DVR, we laughed and laughed at Stephen Colbert’s rendition of “Friday.” It’s silly, and I wouldn’t watch it with our eight year-old, but if you’re a grown-up, you’ll appreciate the old-school Letterman-esque humor.
– Last week Ann wrote a post called “How To Make & Take A Peace Retreat.” When I saw the title I assumed she was talking about packing bags and books and traveling to some remote destination. But when I read the post, I quickly realized that she was talking about how to take a peace retreat right where we are. Love it.
i have just wasted 45 minutes watching Mercy Me and their Cover Tune Grab Bag songs. Thanks!
I have to admit, in relation to your last bullet, when I read that you were “hitting the links” I got tickled to read on and see you out on the golf course.
Apparently, that is the complete opposite direction from where today’s post was headed. Oh well :)
Ok, Ann’s peace retreat is an amazing reminder to me that I need to do this for my boys, and more often for myself too. What a gift to teach them that type of retreat when things are too much is the exact, perfect place to go. My three year old already carries a small bible wherever he goes, I should create a place for him to go and find peace with it.
Oh and Stephen Colbert is simply hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
That Mercy Me video is ridiculous. And fantastic. And wonderful.
I have watched the Colbert/Fallon video like 40 times. It is just beyond absurd and surreal.
Gurl- are you watching Glamour Belles on Lifetime? I know Idol is just now over- but you must watch this…you “know” these people! I heart the south!!!
Hahahahaha! Boomama, when I read the title to this post I thought you decided to take up golf this fine spring! I thought, “Well good for her! My husband has been wanting me to do that for a long time. Golf. She could sport a really cute visor, I bet.” Oh well. The other links were good too. :)
I LOVED Mercy Me’s Cover turne grab bag of Hey ya! hahaha!
Thank you so much for the link to Peace Retreat. I so needed to be grounded. We are facing lay-offs at work (tomorrow morning as a matter of fact). We don’t know who – just that it’s happening.
I have been so worried and anxious. I haven’t remembered to leave it with Jesus. Just reading that post gave me peace. I am breathing easier. My headache is going away.
I will face tomorrow with my head held high and know that I’ve done my best – no matter what happens.
