God Help the Outcast (or lower class)

Or... "God Help Us Help the People in Need."

I want to read this book!

I watched the movie a few months back.

Then, I put the book on hold at the library.

(it's a popular one)

Then, I picked it up a few weeks later.

THEN, I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO READ THIS BOOK!

yeah...

I was too busy with school, and the 3 weeks went by way too quickly. :(

Sad day.

Today, I put it on hold again. If I was smart, I would have done that at the beginning of this wonderful Christmas break... but.... I didn't. So now I'm paying the price. Maybe I'll go to Barnes&Noble to enjoy the wonderfulness of that place and hope they have that book or another good one to read.

p.s. i loved reading this book.

.::sad, but good::.

Baby Jesus

He is why we celebrate.

He is why we should be full of joy and cheer.

He is the reason for the season.

He did it all for us.

happy birthday to the

wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, & prince of peace.

Rumor has it

I have been trying to educate myself in the blogging world.

Yes, trying.

Trying very hard.

I didn't know what a favicon was until 15 minutes ago. Do you know what one of those is?? You probably do. And you've probably known what one is for a year or 2. Ok, I did know what they were, only thing is, I didn't know what they were called. Favicon, that's their name.

(For those of you who don't know what one is, I'll tell you. It's the little tiny picture that appears next to a website url.) there you go... : )

And..... it took me 2 hours, no 3 or 4 hours, to figure out how to make a simple little button with a code for people to put on their blogs. That's just not right if you ask me.

But after ALL that, I am 1) very proud of myself AND 2) in awe of the blogs I see. People put a lot of work into them. Codes for this and that. Codes, codes, codes.

here it is(!!!):

Button up!

It's cold outside.

(ha ha ha...)

And while I'm at it, I'll tell you the story behind this little picture. It was taken in '09 (i think) while living in Germany (i know). My friends and I did a fun little photo shoot in our German village, Huetschenhausen. We dressed up in skirts and cowboy boots and grabbed a couple umbrellas then headed out to brave the cloudy (almost rainy) weather.
