7 Quick Takes Friday

Click on over to Jennifer at Conversion Diary for my 7 Quick Takes inspiration ala Mr. Linky.

One.
I'm sorta with Jennifer on the balloons, but my "eek" is rubber gloves. And I occasionally have to wear them at work. I love the vinyl ones, but the rubber ones are just too, well....balloony.

And a two.

Don't wash your car. Seriously. This is what happened to my eldest son's Jeep when he took it to a reputable (well, until this week) full service car wash. Seems Car Wash Dude thought it was cool to rev up the engine. Big time. In gear. One word: totaled. The blessing: nobody was hurt.

And a three.
Remember the scene in Bruce Almighty when "God" Jim Carrey got all the email so fast he couldn't keep up? That's how I felt when I Lucky posted a pathetic piece on Doggyspace. The dogs of this world really have hearts. Sympathy emails kept pouring in so fast on Lucky's journal post that I still haven't responded to many of them! Call me nuts. I love my dog and I'm really going to miss him.

And a four.
Back to cars. Here's our repair list for the week: wheel bearings for Ron Burgundy's truck, my 4 wheel drive is down to 3, my remote to unlock doesn't work, the driver's window gets stuck in the down position (it was 17 degrees this am), I'm 2500 miles over the need for an oil change, and my cell phone won't stay charged which isn't really a part of my car but with everything else going on, it needs to be. I hate it when things don't work. It's my pet peeve.

And a five.
Over 600,000 people lost their jobs this month. This just makes my heart ache. Please join me in praying for them.

And a six.
My daughter (mildly) rear ended a dude while texting yesterday. KT, if you're reading this, don't you know what an accident could do to your beautiful face? To children in the car ahead of you? Put the Crackberry down and focus, sweetheart. Nothing is so important as the tail lights in front of you. I'm begging. Humbly. Focus. FOCUS. FOCUS.

And a seven.
Will this be the weekend the Christmas tree goes up? The latest it ever went up was December 21. It was still worth it. After all, tradition says it goes up on Christmas Eve. I have lots of time. Problem is, it will fly. And there will be a turkey to brine and chestnuts to roast and potatoes to whip....oh, and that horrible Strawberry Pretzel salad I complained about last week....

Oh my...MORE Strawberry Pretzel Salad? Ugh..I'm with you!

I sorry about your dog. We have an older dog, and she's part of our family. Of course you are missing Lucky! :(

So relieved that your daughter (and everyone else) is okay. Whew! You've had a stressful time lately! I'll be praying for you. Thanks so much for your prayers for Bill. Please continue praying as he recovers from the surgery.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think about if you added
some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!

Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog
could certainly be one of the very best in its niche.
Excellent blog!

more willing to stay at home line to acquire cramming books on chemistry, civil service, and English literature alongside parents content to

My soul is still rejoicing as I sit, taking into consideration the goodness
of God as well as the majesty of computer all.

When using a dropshipper, you will never have to handle shipping and you don't risk losing money if
no one buys the game. But what other options are available to you in terms of video game accessories.
Everyone from women to children starting to wonder if the Wii could help them lose a few pounds, while still having fun.
