blogging from class #5

how not to give a presentation:

…trail off into personal life story
…face the screen and read facts from a book
…show complex charts and lament that it didn’t turn out like you wanted

blogging from class #3

definition of a little boy…

running noise with dirt on it

I double-dog dare you…

…to take this quick science quiz. After scoring your results, you can compare them to selected demographics from a sampling of test results. This quiz was part of an actual study done. If you show me up, by all means, post your results and brag…if you don’t well, no one will know I’m not sure if I’m ashamed at the question I missed or not…hmmmm.

 

blogging from class #2

straight from the prof…

You can’t make turtles fly!! 

world crumbling…shadows overcoming… dismayed…what am I to believe now?!?!?

random tidbits

>> I’m always amazed at what I see as I commute down 635. Today I raced a hub cap…yes, only a hub cap

>> Finally I have a small, truly seminar-style class. This is grad school, after all. My class on ministry in Roman Catholic contexts has about 15 students and the prof actually does want to hear our input. Sweet!!

>> I don’t like my class schedule. When we put Luke to bed on Monday night, I don’t see him awake again until after work on Thursday. This sucks!!!

>> Mere baked celebration-back-to-school-cookies…that is AWESOME!!! Thanks schmoopy

>> Luke is in a stage where he loves to bring things to us…his toy choo-choo, scrap of paper on the floor, a runaway pea from dinner, his ball, a dead spider…ain’t it great?!?!

>> I’ve had 5 or 6 cups of coffee this morning…that’s too much for me. But it’s soooooo good! Work sponsored a coffee-n’-bagel mix-n’-mingle with co-workers time. I think they are trying to build office camraderie…I’ll take it!

>> Related to the previous tidbit, I’m amazed at the fact that people from the same company who see each other many times a week in the elevator or hallway, do not engage in conversation unless they work in the same department.

>> Recent playground conversation between 2 kids:
Kid1:  I wish there were like 300 more days of summer….no, I mean, I wish there were like 5,000 more days of summer…5 qatrillion more days!
Kid2: You know, to God a thousand days is only like 1 day; and one day is like a thousand.
[Umm, that is an awesome train of thought!!! I wish that when someone said something to me Scripture popped into my head and out my mouth!]

>> I just caught a gecko at work and took him on a ride on the elevator! We released him back into the wild where we feel confident he will become un-domesticated and re-learn how to catch bugs and such

friday cube life

the day starts with bubbling energy, the weekend is just about here!…reminder clouds blow in and work descends on the office…slowly blanketing silence settles as workers scatter to their various workstations, nestling each employee in their cube…the morning closes soon enough, plans for lunch excite…few dare remain under flourescent lights on FRIDAY…the return to cubes is oft a bit later on this day…work yet remains…silence drones all afternoon, nary a word spoken, only the occasional copy machine grumble…is anyone actually here??…with ~30 minutes left in the day, workers begin to emerge…a faint chatter is heard, growing…joking and chatting burst forth…the day is OVER!!…WOOOHOOO, THE WEEKEND IS HERE

still around…

so, i figured i should post something before a whole month goes by. the summer is lookin’ good! i’m excited about all sorts of different things that i’ll hopefully write more about shortly: sunday school, “break” from classes, work, trip to Guatemala, missions, church, relationships, evenings at home with Mere and Luke. i also have a project for an online class that i’ll chronicle here…we’ll see if it is in generalities or specifics.

it’s over…terminado, fini, finito, 完成します, 结束

and I took EVERY minute of it!

so, what’s up now? oh do I have things to write about…but not now, maybe later…or maybe I should just post pics of luke…who knows…I sure don’t. Hmmmm…i’m at work and should probably keep my attention there…

blogging woes

I think I have quite a few good ideas for things to write about on the blog, the problem is either the idea comes at a time when I am not at a computer, or I am at a computer and just don’t have the time to write. So, a few days pass, then a few more, and then I just give up on the idea because it is so far removed. Time is pressed, life is full, choices have to be made. So, let me share a few things with you and eventually I may get a roundtuit (if you have a spare one, toss it my way), but prolly not. Eh, what’s to be done.

Here are a couple of pics from our church’s harvest festival…documenting Luke’s VERY FIRST slide/bounce house slide!!!

 

Up the stairs

 

weeeeee! down we go

 

It did take some persuasion on momma, but Luke’s cute face works wonders!
