Docta Maffa Luffa King Junia

My 5 year old daughter informed me that if I don't like somebody I should just stay home and stay away from them...I shouldn't kill them. I was like "WHAT?!" Where on earth did that come from. Then she kept on talking and it would seem she was referring to what she had been learning about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (Thank God it wasn't something *I* did!)...or Docta Maffa Luffa King Junia as she calls him - I just love it! My husband and I were so touched by what she was saying and she had obviously been very moved by the fact that he was killed by someone who didn't like him. She told us she almost cried at the end of the story her teacher told at school that day and then went on to tell us how if people don't like someone they just shouldn't kill them, they should just stay away from them and stay home. If only the rest of the world thought the same way.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition!

So, guess what I did today?! LOL! Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is in town this week and not far from me...this is one my favorite shows on TV. With all the ugliness we see in the world every day it is just so refreshing to see a show like this that does so much good. I couldn't resist the opportunity to perhaps catch a glimpse of Ty...or any of the other designers, especially when I could meet up with one of best friends who happens to work within walking distance of the homesite!

We didn't get a glimpse of Ty today but we did get to see one of the designers, Tracy (she is the one in the black shirt and jeans with the white hard hat). It was just so cool to be there! Who knew it could be so exciting to see a simple blue shirt in person! LOL! So exciting in fact that I think we have decided to head back over again tomorrow! (maybe we will catch that glimpse of Ty!)

It's a New Year...

SOOOOOOO, I guess I will give this whole "blogging" thing one more try...for real this time! LOL! Just not sure how good I will be at it...I mean, it's not like I have a whole lot of anything interesting to say?! But what the hell...we'll give it a try!

It's a New Year and while I am not one for resolutions I HAVE decided to set some goals for myself this year...
1. find Peace - both in my life and inside myself
2. keep in better touch with my close friends
3. keep in better contact with my family
4. be a more patient mother
5. stay healthy and get in better shape
6. have more fun!

If anybody actually reads this I would love to hear what goals you have set for yourself in 2007
