1. I can already tell that today is going to be procrastination day...
2. I'm not ready for work yet, but I'm sitting here making this list.
3. Scott's phone is broken- his battery won't hold a charge, and even on the charger won't let him make longer than a 3 minute call.
4. I still talked to him for 3 min. this morning- the alarm clock is still working fine!
5. I offered him Savannah's phone- she only uses it when she is going somewhere other than school.
6. He didn't want to take it from her.
7. Do you think that's because it is a pink razr?
8. I can't wait until Friday!
9. I know some other people who can't wait until Friday!
10. Wonder what we'll post in our blogs come Monday?

Stolen from Doug and Kat and who knows who else!
1. Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey? Looks like it!
2. Would you do meth if it was legalized? Absolutely NOT.
3. Abortion: for or against it? Against it personally, but I don't believe in legislating morality- so I guess that makes me pro-choice- I'd just choose no.
4. Do you think the world would fail with a female president? That might just be the thing to turn our country around!
5. Do you believe in the death penalty? Yes. I think there are times when it is warranted- Timothy McVey? What else could you do to him?
6. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? No, that doesn't really affect me one way or the other, except for my kids.
7. Are you for or against premarital sex? Against. We've allowed our families to become so broken that nothing can fix them- but the government will try to support our children, and fail.
8. Do you believe in God? Absolutely.
9. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? No, I can see letting them enter some sort of contract, but even at that, look how easy marriage is to end. The contracts could be broken, too. Don't know how it would help.
10. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to theUSA
11. A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it? She can't keep it. She can't even keep herself at this point. Now do her parents want to keep it? They may not have done so well the first time around if a 12 year old is pregnant. There are so many good people out there trying to have children that he could have a good life somewhere else.
12. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen? No- studies show that it is much easier to become an alchoholic by drinking at an early age. Once you're fully developed (I'm talking your liver here) it is more difficult.
13. Should the war inIraq
14. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree? Yes, for some of the same reasons- legalizing it could lead to abuse. Waiting for mom to die and get all her money? Let's kill her now!
15. Do you believe in spanking your children? I do. There is a difference between beating and a whomp on the butt. (<<Another good answer, Kat!)
16. Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars? Sure- that is actually the preferred method of disposing of an old flag. Bring me an old flag and a million bucks!
17. Who do you think would make a better president? Probably someone who wouldn't have the job!
19. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? No, I am who I am- and my friends know that. We have agreed to disagree a long time ago!
2. Would you do meth if it was legalized? Absolutely NOT.

Who's Your Daddy?
You know I haven't been around much- except to post my Bible study and make a few comments on some other blogs. I really need to do better about blogging, but I can't seem to get any momentum going.
I do have to share a sweet story from today. Scott was at my house doing some work (he doesn't have high speed internet at his house, so he was glomming on my wireless) when Savannah's cell phone rang. Actually, he said the house phone rang, then her phone. He looked at it- it was an 800 number. Since this is the phone her father used to have, she occasionally gets phone calls that were meant for him.
Well, Scott answers it and sure enough, they asked for James. In his sternest voice (at least this is how he told it to me) he tells the person that this is Savannah's phone, and she is his daughter, and they're trying to reach her step-father, and they don't need to be using this phone to do so! They assured him that her number would be removed from their database.
My reaction was- well, pretty close to the truth. He's done more for her in the last 9 months than her father has done in 9 years. She thought it was great because she is tired of getting calls meant for her father. I did thank Scott for all he means to us- he is filling a void that we all felt. He said that he gets a lot out of things, too.
So all is good here!

Ten Thought Tuesday
1. I love my new alarm clock! It works!
2. I love my new eating plan. Salads are more fun if someone else eats them with you!
3. I lost 3 pounds this week.
4. Probably because I've done 26 minutes of step aerobics a day on my Wii Fit.
5. My calf muscles hurt.
6. The Panthers won their first game of the year. (Watch for flying pigs!)
7. I'm addicted to Mexican train dominos! We could play for hours each night. (Well, at least it is cheap entertainment.)
8. I'm going to see Mamma Mia! on Thursday night. I haven't seen an adult movie in the theatre since Titanic!
9. I am getting very used to Scott being at the house every day. He is going camping this weekend with his best guy friends. Wonder if he'll miss me as much as I'll miss him?
10. I am excited to have things to look forward to. We're going to ride the Virginia Creeper trail for my birthday present (birthday is Oct.5, but we're going on the 4th because we have duties at church on Sunday.) We're also going to the state fair at the end of October, and we have plans to see the Charlotte Symphony's pops Christmas concert!
