Which Princess Bride Character are You?
this quiz was made by mysti

it's been years since i've watched this movie.... i guess i really should watch it again.

funny thing is i've owned it for like a year. i'm such a slow poke!

so it's been a while

well, hmm, it has been a while. what's new? not much, yet, a whole heck of a lot!

it's raining out and i love it.

i'm still waiting too see if i get funding for a cpap machine for my apnea. bleh. i'm soo dopey these days, i'm not driving anymore, rarely anyways. i'm thinking of cancelling my car insurance, why pay $175 a month if i'm not driving? ... so instead, i'll get a bus pass. some freedom to roam, anyways! and when i get the cpap and feel better (i hope!) i can fire up pipsqueak again (my wee car, lol).

God is good, doing awesome things in my life. but can't say too much about it really, it's too.... BIG... y'know? lol

upcoming plans, Lord willin' (an' Lord makin' a way'n! but He's a miracle worker, eh?) :
-going to a wedding in PG in november
-spending time with a currently pregnant friend in Edmonton when she delivers in december
-visiting mags in nanaimo/going to gtt at oceanside, maybe in same trip, whenever that may be, asap?

i think that "Lord, i was born a ramblin' gal"... got the roaming itch. i really need to get healthy enough to drive again, i thinkest! Lord be willin'! His agenda, no' mine~!!!!!!!

ta ta for now!

(one day, maybe, i'll work on my template a bit and make it so i can see my page from my cell phone, and thus/ergo post from my phone. when i made up the template i kinda destroyed the mobile settings, i mean, who looks at blogs on a mobile phone, anyways? (*whacks head*))

strep owie, too

yah, uhuh, i got me a case of strep. i went to the doctor on thursday, and i got bawled out for coming in so late. he said it was BAAAD. it was extreme pain to swallow (i'd stopped trying, spit cup in hand), and my throat was so red and swollen he said if i'd left it a bit longer it might have caused difficulty breathing, or even choking. so....

instant antibiotics and liquid t3.... and he said if the antibiotics don't make a difference in a day or so, i'd have to go on intravenous antibiotics! .... well, fortunately they kicked in, is saturday evening now and i'm a little more mobile, but still sleeping LOTS.

it figures the one time i take an owie to the doctor and he doesn't say, "oh, that's nothing to worry about", i get in trouble from him! lol.

i'll be at church tomorrow, even if it means sleeping on the pews (i'm catching a ride with debbie at 8:30 am). three days of antibiotics, not a chance that i'm contagious anymore!!!!! lol!!!

btw the boil is healing up fine. it's one of those God things. got me some figs right next door! (heehee) (see isaiah 38:21, God is hilarious! and awesome!!!! yeah!!!!)

i hz oweez

i gots me an owie on my leg. i think either a bug bite or a zit got infected and it is puffy and red. i put some peroxide and a sticky bandage over it to try to draw out whatever is in there.... hopefully it'll clear up on its own.

i just listened to my phone messages - 5! - and among them was one from the sleep apnea testing place in PG, saying i had tested positive for obstructive sleep apnea, and have a prescription for CPAP therapy, which is a machine that blows air into your nose to keep your airways open.

yay.

but seriously, it is good news, cuz if therapy works, i should be less sleepy and tired.

a bit of zoo for yoo

one of my favorite movies, hilarious~!

i love how they did this preview:

someone did this, and it's hilarious!


alternate end credits, i like this version of this song:

oh golly, this one makes it look like a drama, ha!

hallelujah hippo!

There is a joy which is not given to the ungodly,
But to those who love Thee for Thine own sake,
Whose joy Thou Thyself art.

And this is the happy life,
To rejoice to Thee,
Of Thee,
For Thee;
This it is,
And there is no other.

-- St. Augustine of Hippo

wow

wednesday..... i spent three hours at the hospy with tan.... from 11pm till 2 am. after a pretty full day.

thursday.... i was supposed to babysit... but i got there 25 minutes late, cuz i just couldn't drag my sorry tush outta bed, then when i got up - and normally would be able to get ready in that amount of time - i couldn't move faster than oatmeal sliding down a wall..... so i was late. no one was home, alternate plans had been made.

ouch, failure. i hate letting people down!

so i went and got breakfast and sat in the park.... and fell asleep in the car. first for a solid hour, then continually dozing off uncontrollably. finally i got a hold of pammy and she let me come over and crash on her couch. i drove the half-block to where she was (a/c blowing in my face full on, loud music, to keep me awake, i wouldn't even have tried driving anywhere any farther away!) and slept on her couch until late afternoon. i guzzled coffee, and tried to stay awake, but i just kept falling asleep. uncontrollably. until shortly before dinner.

therein lie the wow.

friday.... today. i was supposed to be at carolyns at 9:30, but i could not wake up. so now i'm going to be there for 11..... please, Lord, get me there, today! and get me to the wedding on time, tomorrow!!!!!

****

tans had some more developments on her hip condition.... family, read her recent entry, k? she's needin some love right now.....

love ya lots, tan-tan!!!!! i'll try to stop by later, Lord willin'! (((((hugs)))))

christian flowers

Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of
them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they
let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly
nourished, and become nourishers of each other.

-- John Bunyan

prayer

The Elements of Prayer

Its ground: God, by whose goodness it springeth in us.
Its use: to turn our will to His will.
Its end: to be made one with Him and like to Him in all things.

-- Julian of Norwich
