"Cleaning and scrubbing<br />
Can wait 'til tomorrow.<br />

We've learned, to our sorrow.<br />
So quiet down cobwebs.<br />
Dust go to sleep.<br />
I'm rocking my baby<br />
And babies don't keep!"Laura Odomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00143729239298154849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22574125.post-51154822194188812902010-09-07T12:21:00.000-07:002010-09-07T12:21:26.485-07:00Grocery Shopping.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, my best friend and her husband have been vlogging (you can check them out <a href="http://thebattleofwills.com/">HERE</a>) and she seems to think that my life should be vlogged as well. There are two huge flaws with this, however,:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1. I do NOT like the way I look on camera. That's why I'm always behind it. Plus, there's no photoshopping away double chins in a video. I don't know if I can live with that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. Despite what my well-intentioned "bestie" may believe, my life is just not all that interesting.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I took it in and it was the "logic board", which basically meant it would cost $700 to replace. On a 2 year old laptop. I think not. But, being me, I drug my feet on purchasing a new one mainly because I hated to spend the money on it. But with three people working at the studio all trying to use one desktop, I had to give in eventually, and earlier this week, I became the owner of another MacBook Pro. Supposedly I should be able to get my "stuff" off the other hard drive still, but that hasn't happened yet. All in due time, I guess.<br />
<br />
However, after spending the past two days installing programs and hunting for license keys, I am beginning to enjoy having a functioning computer again. For one, I was finally able to download and play with the pictures from my vacation. Yay! I did some quick tweaking in photoshop/bridge, then loaded them into iphoto, made a cool keepsake book, and even ordered it. Can't wait to see how it turns out. I'll have to give a report when it does. <br />
<br />
So, I still don't have access to my old hard drive yet, so I'm not sure where I left off on my Project 365 or when I'll be able to retrieve the pictures. For now, I'll just share some favs from my trip:<br />

I do post them into a folder on Facebook with a little more regularity, and I think most of you who read this have befriended me, so I'm hoping you're seeing them there. (Except maybe Jessica, who's an on-again, off-again facebooker). =) I figure at least I'm TAKING the daily pictures. I never promised to post them one at a time.<br />
<br />
I have a friend whose blog I read (<a href="http://mybodmod.blogspot.com/">Fantastically Fit by 41</a>) and she recently posted about how she has overcome a sugar addiction and about how wonderful she feels. I started researching sugar addiction, articles such as <a href="http://masteryinliving.typepad.com/mastery_in_the_art_of_liv/2006/04/overcoming_suga.html">THIS</a>, and decided it was time to make better choices. I made the plunge and cut all caffeine, sugar, and artificial sweeteners from my diet. It's been 12 days with no caffeine and 10 without sugar (I had to restart the sugar thing on day three because I made an exception for our anniversary dinner). The first week was MISERABLE, but I am finally feeling better, and am looking forward to the day when I don't salivate when I drive by a Sonic. I wonder how long that will take.<br />
<br />
The girls have taken up "gardening." They each chose a type of plant to start in these little greenhouses, and they sprouted and we've now moved them to pots on the back porch. Look out world! Hopefully, they won't share their momma's black thumb and they'll actually stay alive long enough to produce what they're supposed to!<br />

I had a whole list of things I had planned to blog about (it's been forever), but my husband just came into the room and turned on "The Wedding Singer" and I can no longer concentrate.<br />

My best friend is doing this with a class at her church, and told me about it. We actually started on Day 1 together, so it makes it that much better - it helps to be accountable! We are using the schedule laid out here: <a href="http://www.haventoday.org/bookmark.pdf">http://www.haventoday.org/bookmark.pdf</a>. <br />
<br />
So, Daily Bible reading has long been something I've struggled with. It always seems like it's been hard to fit in to my crazy life with a full time job and three young children. But, it's been something I've been doing a lot of thinking about lately. My goal in life is to be a successful mother in the sense that my children will grow up to be loving, respectful, God-fearing Christians. How do I do that without providing them with the correct example? So, this challenge came at the perfect time. I'm now on day 12 and it's going well. I haven't felt overwhelmed, the reading hasn't been hard (with the exception of one late night reading of Leviticus), and it's exciting to see my progress and know that I will be able to accomplish something so huge in such a short amount of time. I have given up a little bit of computer and tv time, but honestly, I haven't missed it.<br />
<br />
So, my encouragement to you is to MAKE time to be a good example to your children and in the meantime, feed yourself. It doesn't mean you have to do the 90-day challenge, although it would be great! But set time aside frequently for study and prayer. It's amazing how much it will affect your overall attitude and keep you on your toes.Laura Odomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00143729239298154849noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22574125.post-27177971390197357652010-04-25T22:45:00.000-07:002010-04-25T22:45:46.102-07:00Day 114<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8sCD-ZhM3R4/S9Unc7hal1I/AAAAAAAAGYs/XjXjgW3d7Zw/s1600/4-25-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_8sCD-ZhM3R4/S9Unc7hal1I/AAAAAAAAGYs/XjXjgW3d7Zw/s400/4-25-10.jpg" width="365" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
