Is it still brown??

Thanks so much to everyone who commented and told me that my background color was brown. I just don't get it. I even changed it to more red and it looks very red on my computer but I saw it on another computer screen and it looked pretty brown. So since that was a flop, I thought maybe you'd enjoy a new look. (pause now for excessive vomiting) Well, let's see - by Karla's request, I tried really hard to remember some insight gained from John Tesh this morning (speaking of Karla - I'm so impressed I made it in your blog and I'm saying that here, since I can't comment on yours... = P). I remember that there are 3 elements to a successful marriage -1) respect, 2) oh shoot, I really can't remember the second, 3) realism (realistic expectations). Oh YES, I just remembered - 2) integrity. He also listed the 4 different types of relationships, but I think it would sort of bore you. But on second thought, as an exercise in my lacking short term memory skills, I'll try to list them: 1) traditional, 2) companionate, 3)romantic, 4) old and mostly dead (rats! can't remember #4, actually it's # 3 I can't remember). Okay, the other thing - there's no such thing as being double jointed, only slightly more flexible than average. And also, cell phone etiquette - the one that stands out to me is that it's very very very rude to talk on your cell phone while paying at a store or restaurant. oops, done that before. Okay, this concludes John Tesh's intelligence for your life - all you need to be a better spouse, parent, employee, pet owner, cell phone user.... (it actually says something like that!)

In other news - I don't have a lot. Oh, Karla also mentioned American Idol - does anyone else out there watch? Well, I didn't watch all 4 hours that were on this past week, but I saw some of it and there were some quite hilarious moments, but at one point Simon ridiculed someone because he looked like a monkey. I thought that was quite uncalled for and he needs to stick to insulting their musical performances.

This morning in church I was by myself and looking for a place to sit when this really friendly lady came up to me and started asking who I was. She asked if I went to Grace and I said I just graduated. She told me her name and I sat with her and then she said she teaches music at Grace. Then it clicked - I right away knew her last name and who she was. She would be the practically famous director of the music department at Grace. Everyone knows her! I felt so dumb since I had just told her I graduated from there. It also doesn't bode well sitting by the director of the music department during singing. I tried to sort of turn in the other direction. Anyway, that was my Sunday morning adventure.

Yesterday I spent HOURS and HOURS going through filing and papers that have been accumulating for years. I just wasn't prepared for how long it would take. Of course it might have gone faster if I would have been more focused and bull dozed through instead of watching movies the whole time. I now have a much more user friendly system and got rid of a bunch of junk. And for anyone out there who is interested in how American government works - I would recommend the very old "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." It was pretty good. Okay, I think that concludes all I have to say today.
