Hey leucocrystalI know you're a Gillian Anderson fan, and a Jon Stewart fan, so I was wondering if you had seen Playing By Heart? It used to be one of my all-time favorite movies, and I recently rewatched it. See, I used to adore Joan and Keenan. But now that I'm older I loved Meredith and Trent (Gillian and Jon) way more. Firstly, they are the more realistic ( Read more... )

About three weeks ago I found out I didn't get a job we were nearly certain I was going to get. The principal told me I was the front runner and we really hit it off. Then someone came in with 30 years experience and a master's degree and I got a rejection call. This was devastating because the reaction both Jordan and I felt was "Well, now does ( Read more... )

I had my first interview today. It was a short phone interview, but the principal had her cook call in sick and had to help serve food for lunch, so she could only talk about 20 minutes ( Read more... )

So Jordan is possibly going to receive a call to a church in St. Louis. If he does we probably won't know until it's too late for me to look for a job. So last week I sent out nearly 50 resumes to private schools in the greater St. Louis area. I have received a few replies, most of them saying they have no openings currently. However, today I ( Read more... )

For those who don't know, I decided to grow some willpower for Lent. I gave up sweets. It wasn't about not eating the sweets, it was about having the willpower to not eat ALL the sweets. For instance, I never ate one cookie. I ate 3. I rarely had one piece of cake. I had 2 large pieces (or three small ones, cause they were small, right?) On ( Read more... )

Had a dream about my dad last night.  He was sleeping on the pool table in the basement of my childhood home, and I was living there in my old room.  I came out, and we talked for a short while, I don't remember about what, and then I woke up (in my dream) and realized it was a dream.  This is how I dream: the weirdest shit can happen but when ( Read more... )

So about four weeks ago we embarked on our first major road trip with Callum.  We started by driving to Jordan's Aunt Susie's house in Dallas.
*Callum swam in Susie's pool, and had a blast, even though he was a little cold and terrified of the dog.
*Their dog would bark and he would CRY!
*LaToya made a great fish, and was amazed at Callum doing things ( Read more... )

So I’ve been pro-life since I found out what abortion was in 6th grade confirmation class.  I was shown horrible pictures of aborted fetuses and I was of course appalled.  I became very adamantly pro-life and very vocally anti-abortion.  In high school I was the kind of person who was involved in politics to the extent that if a president was pro- ( Read more... )

With the recent events in the news, I feel like I really want to say something longer than a facebook status.

I am glad to know that most Christians are against what the Florida congregation still plans to do (as of now*) on Saturday, and have a mass burning of Qur'ans.  (*I wrote this originally as a Facebook note and at that time it was still on, ( Read more... )

I went to the driving range near us on the 4th to see fireworks. It was neat; everyone was launching their own fireworks they had bought. Some were the kind we used to launch as kids, and others were the kind you travel to see (only a little smaller) but they really did shoot up and then burst out. It was really neat to be so close and see them ( Read more... )
