CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

Bad Day/Good Day

I think we are in the middle of one of those times in life where much is going wrong. Nothing life threatening, so it could be always get worse. But, it just seems like stuff has been breaking down around this house almost on a daily basis: appliances, cars, etc. I wonder how we will keep up financially. I think that I am speaking to the choir regarding many of you - we all seem to go through stuff like this. "This too shall pass" - it will. But, man, it really sucks right now.

However, it may surprise you to know that I am smiling right now. Two reasons:

1) God loves me and my family. It will be ok (see my post from yesterday).

2) The Cubs just now pulled off a dramatic 9th inning comeback victory. Maybe God loves them too? :)

A Moment in Time

It's cold outside tonight. Summer is nearing its end. I guess the weather guys and girls say it should be back in the 80's this week. But, we know that won't last. Right now I am just sitting in our basement typing away. I was looking back at some of the pictures from the Colorado trip last month. Man, that was a month ago already! It still seems like not too long ago. I guess when life gets busy, time moves awfully fast. Life seems busy now. That is why this moment feels a bit odd. Sometimes in the midst of tons of activity, when you get a break and having nothing cooking at the moment, it still feels like you have to do something. I wonder why that is? Anyway, I am right now appreciating everything that I have around me. I feel so blessed to have the family that I have: Mary, Katrina, Alec. I love them so much. Yeah, even our pets! Dixi the dog; Monster and Smokey the cats; and Derrick Lee the gecko. Life is good...

Well, time to go for now. Just wanted to share that little bit of insight. Maybe I should do this more often!

The Progression of Bon Scott

Got this the other day from a friend of mine. Some of you already got my email of this with that dreaded :re in the subject line. Ok, so maybe you deleted it and never watched it. Of course, "I never send stuff out like this but this time was just too funny" - yeah, heard it all before! So, all you blog readers out there, check these out. I know Spinal Tap really could have been about so many hundreds of bands. However, seeing these videos of AC/DC's former (and deceased) lead singer makes me wonder if they didn't take a bit from his life. Watch them in order from top to bottom to fully appreciate it:
