What I needed to hear...

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

WW: Silly Faces with Tia

I think she meant it as a compliment...

One of the ladies who works in my office asked me where I was from. Here's our dialogue:

Her (in a deep Southern accent) - Julie, where are you from?

Me (in a pure, Midwestern accent) - Originally Michigan, but I haven't lived there for 10 years. I've lived a lot of places since then. Why?

Her - I thought you might be from around here.

Me - Oh really? We have been here for almost two years. (Here being the South with all of its drawling glory, grits, and fried chicken.)

Her - Yeah, it sounds like it. I reckon your accent is just like ours.

Small Change Tuesday

In the April 2009 issue of Real Simple, it talks about PUR Packets. They're little powder packets that help clean water into drinking water for people all over the world. The little packets are $.10 each and it cleans enough drinking water for a child for 5 days. For a DOLLAR, you can give fresh water to a child for 50 days! That's pretty cool! No new wells need to be built, this just cleans the water.

Check it out at csdw.org (Think Children's Safe Drinking Water).

I'm beginning to come around

It took me a while to get into hip-hop (remember my rant a year and a half ago... sorry all...). I don't know what it is, but I started watching America's Best Dance Crew with my sister and bro-in-law, and I was addicted.

This just boggles my mind. Every time I watch it, I have a new favorite part. I do think the Tutting has got me though...

It's coming! Spring's coming!!
