I am such a BAD person

I saw a headline for this:

(Southern Baptists Memberships, Baptisms Decline)

and my first thought was "ha!"

Guess who needs Jesus.

Another adventure

This week, Roy and I are kidsitting...until Sunday. While lots of our
life together has been adventurous (marriage, pregnancy)...this is a
pretty immediate adventure...especially since these kids look like they
could be our kids.

So..say some prayers.

Love!

links i like or think are thought provoking...

About a women's conference....scroll down to the very last points...I
liked them!

"Men's right to choose"
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1173414,00.html
I'm not sure that I agree, but it's an interesting idea.

Also this one...

three quick things...

this is going to be a crass-free week on the blog...I think three
times last week Roy asked if I thought that something I'd written
could be offensive. And in one case, he said, "Emily, small children
could be reading our blog!" So, to honor his wishes, (at least for
this week), we're going to try and keep it something my mom could read
without having to pray for me.

also, when i was checking facebook today, I saw that Lig on Dun-can
was on it. I laughed out loud! At work.

also, our baby weighs as much as a turnip and is five inches long
(assuming he/she is average.)

okay...happy monday.

Too good not to pass on....

Florida Senate amendment takes on 'Truck Nutz'

http://tallahassee.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080418/CAPITOLNEWS/804180359&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL

" The proposal would make displaying bull genitalia reproductions on
a vehicle subject to a $60 fine, moving violations and points against
a driver license.
...
"I find it shocking we'd tell people with metallic testicles on their
bumpers that this is a violation," said Sen. Steve Geller,
D-Hallandale. "There's got to be better things for us to spend time
debating." "

I've seen a pair of these in Jackson...and I have to admit...it always
makes my day, even though I always wonder if they should.

again...interesting

what's for dinner? the pollster want to know.

can what you eat tell who you're gonna vote for? what's in your fridge?

i heard just a snippet of this on my way to work:

I thought these stories were FASCINATING!

Baby news and other thoughts...

My baby is as big as an avocado, though hopefully not as green. Sixteen
weeks! I should start to feel it move (the quickening--doesn't that
sound biblical?) in the next few weeks. Weird. I kinda feel like I'm
living in bizarro world, but it's nice.

I just sneezed.

WE have roses growing on the side of our house. They are pinky-red...too
red to be fuschia, but not pure red. They look really lovely against our
house's white siding. And it makes me extra glad to come home. Maybe one
day I'll take a picture of it. I still haven't planted tomatoes...but we
probably have a long enough growing season that it's okay, right?

Sometimes, I really get tired of people assuming that my husband (and
thus my baby) are white. It's kinda frustrating that when people meet
only me, and I talk about my husband, they'll be picturing some
pasty-white-boy who could never ever be like Roy.

Also, someone from work volunteered to recommend daycares. Yuck! I might
not stop working, but no infant of mine is going to be in a daycare. I
saw some research once that said that all the ill effects of day care
were gone by sixth grade. Kinda encouraging, but not really. Even though
if you have to stick your kid in daycare to get by, I'm not going to get
mad at you and I'll probably tell you that research to be encouraging.
Life is hard and not everyone has the resources to make the choices that
I can.

Anyway, more on jobs/childcare later...I have to get to work!

gross!

only read the following text (by highlighting it) if you are not queasy and don't mind hearing about bodily functions. but this was too good not to share. if roy had been online, i probably would have just told him, but he's not...so...

okay, so i just went to the bathroom and farted for like a minute straight! i'd never done anything like that before. man! i don't know what i ate that did it...but golly gee! be glad you weren't there! my situation is compounded because i share an office, so i can't just fart when i feel like it, like i can (and do) at home. i feel so much better though...baby probably has like...5 or 6 more cubic inches to play in now!

well, that's it for now. sorry i'm so gross.

this is also interesting...

Also...

We just found out that I/we have to figure out what to do about my
employment after baby comes! By next Wednesday, at least! Yikes!

Say some prayers!
