Pinteresting, no?

Yes. I am blogging two days in a row. Crazy, isn't it? Coming from the girl who used to blog every few months or so? ;) Crazy. Anyhow, I'm so glad that the below article encouraged a few of you. I'll probably be writing up following thoughts/ comments within the next couple of days. There is an interesting conversation about the piece between a friend and I, and it's brought on some thought-provoking thoughts. We'll see what becomes of it all. Also, what do you think of my sidebar? To me it's nice and plain, not at all distracting, but it really needs something. Pictures? I don't like templates overloaded with pictures, but I don't want mine to be boring either.


So. All you "random rambling" voters are getting something you want at last!--I've decided to link up to Pinteresting Wednesdays, thanks to Nela. (her Pinterest boards are some of my favorites, btw. You should check them out. And while you're at it, take a look at mine!)

Right now I am listening to ^^ this man. Yep, that would be my very own Andrea Bocelli. (no, take that back. . .I love sharing his voice.) Mmm. . .Tuscany is just stunning. But of course, how else could it be home to the one and only tenor of my heart?

I'm thinking of retiring there and skipping the seaside village. You may remember me mentioning it in a long ago post. The place of toothless old men, sharp cheese, markets, and handsome fishermen. I would exchange all that (even the toothless old men! o.O ) for these^^ breathless, rolling hills. Imagine waking each morning to that view!

Because Disneyland is my favorite place. EVER. I think about it every day. . .and I want to work in the ice cream parlor. Seriously. What a job--I mean, an old-fashioned, turn of the century style shop right in the middle of quaint, bustling, colorful MainStreet Disney. I'd get to wear one of those fun pointed hats and an apron. . .and talk to people all day. (I announced to the jolly grandfatherly man at the counter that I wanted his job. Of course he thought I was 10 so it was all cute. The things I deal with! :P ) Then on breaks I'd ride Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean. . .maybe chat with Petter Pan or Caspian. . .dance with Flynn in a parade. [yes, I need to get a life. no, these things to not consume my usual thought life. Right? Convince me.]

Haven't mentioned I'm a bit of a Tebow fan, have I? Lets just say I was utterly crushed this past Saturday. Goes to prove that all the nonsense about his 316 pass, the halo in the sky. . .is well, nonsense. Oh, and the Bronco's losing has nothing to do with Timmy's lack of faith, or that he didn't pray hard enough before the game. He is only a man--the Lord can say no. Just some quick thoughts. I still think he is an incredible witness for Christ, even if I don't agree with everything he does. The guy was HOMESCHOOLED. That is amazing--I very much look up to him. :) I'm also becoming more and more fan-ish of football. And I'm pretty sure I'm getting Tim's book for my birthday. Just some hinting around there on my part. ;)

Red hair. Or nice hair in general. I'm on a quest to have hair that looks like THAT ^^. Don't ever get a perm. . .it damages otherwise healthy hair and turns it into string beans. Also, never try any type of "natural" care on permed hair. Lesson learned on my end. String beans are not very attractive. But anyway. There is something so wild and Celtic about red haired, fair skinned woman. I think I need to create a heroine like that. Something medieval.

This laptop. It is perfection itself. That's all I have to say on the subject.

There you have it! I'm running out of time (the kiddo's I nanny are napping,) or I'd pin--er, post more pictures. To quickly sum up my day--I'm working [love my job,] there is snow on the ground, a house to be cleaned, this video to laugh over, family and a puppy waiting for me at home. (Nick, btw, is at a terrible, uncontrollable stage. . .somehow I love him. ;) Even when he chew's random paint tubes and nearly kills himself by eating half of it.) 
I can't complain. :)

Tim Tebow. 'nuff said.

Caught you're attention with that title, didn't I?  ;)

I am staunchly anti-football. Really, what's so interesting about a bunch of guys wrestling over a piece of rubber?--after hours and hours of doing the same thing--wrestling over rubber--one of the teams win.  Whatever that means. Nothing--until last night. Because I'll admit, I am rather impressed by a certain homeschool graduate--who just happens to play football. And I went with my dad to my grandparents house (being that they have a TV,) to watch the Steelers/Broncos game, expecting to be so bored I would completely finish Left Behind and start Tribulation Force (which will happen tomorrow.) I was totally, utterly, very wrong. The game was that incredible. Even this anti-football, soccer only, occasional baseball game girl (observer only, ;) ) couldn't stop watching. And, well, I'm not hiding the fact that--

I'm watching Saturday's game. 

Tim Tebow. We've all heard of him. To tell the truth, I wouldn't have cared if he were just another "Christian" athlete. But Tim is so much more then just a so-called "religious" person. He has a testimony. . .a lifestyle that he preaches unashamed to millions. Plus he was homeschooled. . .homeschooled. There is an automatic camaraderie in that simple fact--it doesn't matter how famous or influential the person. {he's also single. :runs:} How could I *not* support giving homeschooling a good name? GO TEBOW!

  
Powerful story, no?

Yes. . .I'm a bit of a fan. Of football? Not quite, though I'm learning what a "fumble" is, what it means to make a touchdown, boring (or maybe not so,) things like that. It makes all the difference when you're cheering someone on--supporting a cause. . .even if that means watching a bunch of guys wrestle over rubber.

Quick update. The giveaway I mentioned last month will be announced shortly. Don't worry, it IS coming. If you are interested in sponsoring a giveaway (via an Etsy shop or other online business, etc,) please check out my giveaway page. Product reviews are also welcome!
