For the past 24 hours, Michael has been listening to this every 5 minutes or so, and doing the giddy-up dance. Don't get me wrong, he is still extremely attractive while being such a nerd, but one can only take so much! Just kidding! I hope this phase doesn't last long though, I can only go to bed with that song stuck in my head so many nights in a row.
Next on the agenda.
What the flip is a hashtag? I mean I see what it is. I just don't understand what the point is. Why is saying this at the end of what I have to say, any different than saying #thisattheendwhatIhavetosay?
I'm going crazy seeing them all over. Oh, you #hadagoodday? That's cool. Why don't you tell me more about it? And if you do this, I am absolutely picking on you. So be offended. Okay don't be offended, but please explain to me, why this is necessary.
Tonight at church we had a talent show. I displayed all of my crochet things, which I think were a big hit (yes I like to brag about them!). And there were a bunch of wonderful talents shared with us. My favorite was these three little kids who got up and sang a primary song, called "I'll Walk With You".
Now if you don't get to hear little children sing very often, I strongly encourage you to find out the next time your church is having a Primary Program or any sort of choir with children. They will melt your heart. As Taylee, Ryan and Myriam sang the sweet lyrics, I could feel tears began to well up in my eyes. I tried to suppress the water leaking from my tear ducts, and just couldn't do it, I think I felt a tear or two slip through. Here are the lyrics for those of you who don't have access to a children's primary songbook:
If you don’t walk as most people do,
Some people walk away from you,
But I won’t! I won’t!
If you don’t talk as most people do,
Some people talk and laugh at you,
But I won’t! I won’t!
I’ll walk with you. I’ll talk with you.
That’s how I’ll show my love for you.
Jesus walked away from none.
He gave his love to ev’ryone.
So I will! I will!
Jesus blessed all he could see,
Then turned and said, “Come, follow me.”
And I will! I will!
I will! I will!
I’ll walk with you. I’ll talk with you.
That’s how I’ll show my love for you.
Some people walk away from you,
But I won’t! I won’t!
If you don’t talk as most people do,
Some people talk and laugh at you,
But I won’t! I won’t!
I’ll walk with you. I’ll talk with you.
That’s how I’ll show my love for you.
Jesus walked away from none.
He gave his love to ev’ryone.
So I will! I will!
Jesus blessed all he could see,
Then turned and said, “Come, follow me.”
And I will! I will!
I will! I will!
I’ll walk with you. I’ll talk with you.
That’s how I’ll show my love for you.
More importantly though, these three darling little children, reminded me of how important it is to be loving and caring of everyone. I know that too often in my life, I am quick to judge others. And I know that I certainly don't want to raise Amelia that way. I think it would break my heart if I saw her turn away from someone because they were different. I hope that I can find it within myself to remember that when I see someone who isn't the same as me. And I really hope you do too. We all make jokes, and while they may be "harmless" jabs, they're always at the expense of someone else's feelings, whether you or they know it.
Good deed of the day!
So as it turns out, this is a lot harder to do when you don't get out of your house much. I went to my morning exercise class, saw the same people I always see there. Not a lot of opportunity to do a good deed. Other than that, Amelia and I stayed home until the talent show. I suppose sharing your talents with others is somewhat of a good deed. I mean keeping them to yourself is rather selfish. But I won't make excuses. I hope you all tried and had better success than I did! Please share!
Recipe of the day:
Oatmeal Scotchies, or better known as the origin of Michael's term "Mouthgasms"
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup (2 sticks) butter softened (don't you dare use margarine!)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups of uncooked oats
1 2/3 cups butterscotch chips
Prehead oven to 375.
Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Beat butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats and butterscotch chips with a spoon. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto baking sheet. It is important that you don't make these too large, because they spread out quite a bit. If they are too big, they will spread too thin.
Bake for 7-8 minutes.
Peace out!
