Alice: miniseries

Hi All... I saw the commercial for the following: Alice: a Syfy Channel Original Mini-Series.

It looks like it will be good, so I thought I'd share. :)

Alice: In this modern day spin on the classic stories by Lewis Carroll. SyFy's Alice is a miniseries adaptation of the children's classic Alice In Wonderland. The SyFi version stars Caterina Scorsone as Alice and Kathy Bates as the Queen of Hearts.
Sunday, December 6 9/8 C- two nights

Alice is a blackbelt, the Mad Hatter is a con man and the Queen of Hearts...isn't playing with a full deck.

funny thoughts

i saw these on one of those chain email/online things... I edited the list to only include the sentences that I thought were funny or to include those thoughts that I have actually had..... i didn't write these, but I hope you still enjoy!


-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

-Was learning cursive really necessary?

-Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

-I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

-How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

-Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"

-How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

-I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerky driver from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

-While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

-MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

-Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Jeans? Jeans never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

- Bad decisions make good stories

-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

Congrats- Oh the joy over God's Blessings for my friends!

I am so happy for my friends... it seems like a lot of wonderful things have happened for them this Fall/Summer. Everyones' families are growing.......

God is GREAT!

p.s. I threw in a picture of Cristen- cuz I love love love her too!

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. 1 Chronicles 29:11

Wordless Wednesday: Films

I love fall. This is more than a statement- it is a fact!
So to celebrate, we went on a Saturday adventure. We were headed to Hunt Club Farms... but on the way I saw a sign that said "FREE HAYRIDES" - ummm yes please! It was a wonderful experience. We saw horses, cows, laughed, played with straa... went on a great tractor pulled hayride, and picked pumpkins placed in a grassy field. Then we ventured to Hunt Club and just enjoyed the animals for quite a while... they had some interesting chickens and baby goats that liked to head butt- a lot!
It was such a wonderful Day!

Cottage Cheese

This past Saturday was Halloween.... duh, Jenny!
But this past Saturday was also the last game for Cottage Cheese- some great friends of mine who play intramural football for Regent. (They didn't make it to the chili bowl- hahaha- our school's version of homecoming- but they played so well this year. Especially forming as a team and really learning to communicate with each other. Their captain, Jared Beasly- did a great job leading these mighty men. It was so fun being a cheerleader for them...and having an excuse to see some of my friends on Saturday mornings.)
Here are some pictures from last year's team. I love these guys!

2 great songs: songs in the form of heart cries

Tired of telling you, you have me
When I know you really don't
Tired of telling you I'll follow
When I know I reallly won't
Cause I'd rather stand here speechless
With no great words to say
If my silence is more truthful
And my ears can hear how to walk in your way
In the silence
You are speaking
In the quiet I can feel the fire
And it's burning, burning deeply
Burning all that it is that you desire to be silent, in me
Oh Jesus can you hear me?
My soul is screaming out
And my broken will cries teach me
What your Kingdom's all about
Unite my heart to fear you,
To fear your holy name
Adn create a life of worship
In the spirit and truth of your loving ways

Nichole Nordeman \ Small Enough

oh, great god, be small enough to hear me now
there were times when i was crying
from the dark of daniel's den
and i have asked you once or twice
if you would part the sea again
but tonight i do not need a fiery pillar in the sky
just wanna know you're gonna hold me if i start to cry
oh, great god, be small enough to hear me now

oh, great god, be close enough to feel you now
there have been moments when i could not
face goliath on my own
and how could i forget we've marched around
our share of jerichos
but i will not be setting out a fleece for you tonight
just wanna know that everything will be alright
oh great god, be close enough to feel you now

all praise and all honor be
to the god of ancient mysteries
whose every sign and wonder turn the pages of our history
but tonight my heart is heavy
and i cannot keep from whispering this prayer
"are you there?"

and i know you could leave writing on the wall
thats just for me
or send wisdom while i'm sleeping,
like in soloman's sweet dreams
but i don't need the strength of samson
or a chariot in the end
just want to know that you still know how many hairs
are on my head
oh great god, be small enough to hear me now
