snow in texas!!!

it snowed!! i love it!! this is jaron's first time to play in the snow...getting him ready to go outside took around 30 minutes...(i felt like the mom in christmas story!) ( i know... i couldn't find the picture from the actual movie!)

is it christmas or the fourth of july???

nothing says "christmas" like putting up your christmas tree while it's 80 degrees outside...
ugh. however i'll just wait until wednesday when it's supposed to sleet and snow. i love snow.. but, going from 80 to 20 in 2 days.. that's just weird.

seventeen...

so.. i've been a little nostaligic lately (a little?? ha!)...i miss being 17.. so much so, that i even ordered an old seventeen magazine off of ebay. (i know.. i need help!) this issue is from 1986, i was 14, and i remember this exact issue. i had it back then and i must have read it a million times. anyway..
looking through it, it's so weird to see how badly we dressed!! the high wasted pants, the frizzy-permed hair, the bright colors.. but, i loved it and miss it!! so, i'm going to bring back the swatch-watch-in-the-hair look!! who's in?

speaking of lazy...

i love this movie...

lazy lazy...

I saw a commercial for the these the other day and thought, wow, jaron would like those. (you know the agony of crayon roll away. we've all been through it. ) then i thought, are we making it too easy for kids?? i mean, there won't always be anti-roll crayons. life is hard sometimes. his schools may not have them, his friends might not have any.. and what's that going to do? it would just be frustrating. so, i'm a mean mommy and i'm just keeping the old, faulty, roll away ones. (life isn't fair is it?)

you've been hit by...

Alien Ant Farm-Smooth Criminal

one of my favorite covers (and videos) of all time!!

had he not been so opposed to gay marriage...

Fired evangelist asks for forgiveness
By COLLEEN SLEVIN, Associated Press WriterMon Nov 6, 11:49 AM ET
Members of the New Life Church were stunned and brought to tears by the Rev. Ted Haggard's confessions of "sexual immorality," then accepted his plea for forgiveness with open arms.
Haggard, who had been a leading evangelist and vocal opponent of gay marriage, apologized Sunday in a letter read from the pulpit of the 14,000-member church he founded.
Some in the standing-room-only crowd wiped away tears and embraced each other as they heard Haggard's words read by a member of the board that fired him a day earlier.
"The fact is I am guilty of sexual immorality. And I take responsibility for the entire problem," Haggard wrote. "I am a deceiver and a liar. There's a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring against it for all of my adult life."
He did not specify which accusations were true. Haggard had acknowledged Friday that he paid Mike Jones of Denver for a massage and for methamphetamine, but said he did not have sex with him and did not take the drug. (and clinton didn't inhale)
Jones, who said he is gay, said he came forward because he was upset when he discovered who Haggard was and that New Life opposed same-sex marriage — a key issue in Colorado, with a pair of issues on Tuesday's ballot.
"I wish him well. I wish his family well," Jones said Sunday. "My intent was never to destroy his family. My intent was to expose a hypocrite."

Halloween

since he didn't want to dress up for halloween... (no, mom.. i don't want to be a chicken, i just want to be jaron) i dressed him up without him really knowing... i like his hair so much like this that it may be his "everyday" hair!!
