Wordle



I found a great new way to waste time.  Like I really needed another way to waste time, but whatever.  This website is called wordle.  You type in any words you want and it jumbles them into a pretty piece of art.  I did mine in traditional Christmas colros (red and green for those of you from another planet) and typed in a very Christmasy verse from Issiah chapter 9.  I really like the way it turned out.  I suppose I could print it out, frame it and add it to my Christmas decorations, but I think I will leave that to the folks that accutally get paid to blog.  That would be a pretty sweet gig, but alas, no one is ging to pay for my rambilings.  Anywho, check out Worlde when you need to waste a chunck of time.

30 more creative things to be thankful for this November


Ok it is November and we all know what that means right?  30 days of no shaving and 30 days of “I am thankful for…” on Facebook.  They all start the same, I am thankful for Jesus, I am thankful for my amazing husband, my crazy children, my parents, my job yada, yada, yada.  I would certainly hope you are thankful for those things every day and every month.  But what do I know?  Maybe you are an ungrateful maroon, although I doubt it.  So here is my list of things I am grateful for that maybe I don’t think of everyday.
