You know the feeling… right after you try on a new pair of jeans, or for me, it was my wedding dress at the final fitting… breathing is tight and it’s easier to stand up straight for a little while until the heat of your body loosens up the fabric and relaxes the seams enough [...]
The move to davejenbarnes.com is com-plete! finally… one of the tricks up my sleeves has been revealed. Now, hopefully I can get the extra stuff to work… comments, tracking, RSS, etc. Keep checking back … Our site is growing! Yay!
the friday five:
1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?
Personally, I will define biggest as requiring God’s help: surviving! This summer was a rough one for the two of us and God brought us through it!
2. What was your biggest disappointment?
Biggest again defined as requiring God’s help: deciding to wait [...]
Merry Christmas to all reading this! David and I and both cats made it to the Knight’s house after a frenzied morning of balancing the checkbook, finishing folding the laundry, packing, loading the car, watering the plants, and keeping the kitties calm. The drive was enjoyable. Coupled with good conversation, the trip “home” was very [...]
The friday five on Monday… hey, Friday was busy as well as our 4th anniversary! This is going to take help from David:
1. List your five favorite beverages.
In no particular order: Iron Horse, Water, Milk, Apple Juice, and … more Water!
2. List your five favorite websites.
Guess who likes what! [...]
Today is the fourth anniversary of my graduation from Baylor, where I completed my 5-year degree plan in 4.5 years so that tomorrow could be my fourth anniversary with David. The traditional fourth anniversary gift is flowers and fruit and the modern gift is an appliance, neither of which would I ever expect to receive [...]
My beloved Saturn!!! Somebody doesn’t like Saturns… and you can see it here. Ok, this is a little vague, so I’ll clarify if you don’t get it. Watch for the car thrown through the window which crashes inside the restaurant. It’s a black Saturn Ion, QC (quad-coupe (four doors on that two door style [...]
So I didn’t do cards this year, but I’m making my own gift wrap. These are three of the gifts I did for tomorrow night’s REALife group ornament exchange. The one on the left was painstakingly stamped with a small stamp for the holly background then done up in paper ribbon. The middle box [...]
Why did we have 40+ eleven/twelve year olds downtown on a Friday night, you ask? Ahh, you see, Friday and Saturday were Region band clinics and concerts, so we hooked up with Mr. San Luis and the kids and Ms. Allison, the other director, at Spaghetti Warehouse for a district-funded dinner… well, funded for David [...]
I had the camera. I really did… but both of my memory cards are here by the computer. One is in the USB reader/writer and the other is in its protective plastic sleeve waiting for the “just-in-case-the-other-one-is-still-in-the-USB-reader/writer” moment but it’s sitting on the desk when it needed to be either in my purse or in [...]
I had my hair done Tuesday.
It looks good in the picture. I got highlights, but they’re not your traditional highlights… My natural hair color is very vibrant when it’s sun-bleached, but it doesn’t get to stay on my head long enough to become sun-bleached when it’s this short, so the sun needed [...]
I wrote yesterday that I sounded particularly funny. That was in the hour that I actually did have my voice. I still have no sound emenating from my vocal cords… and to break the silence, I have added a cough to the list of symptoms. However, I have no fever, no sore throat, no achy [...]
