thirteen on thursday

just some random thoughts .......

13. i absolutely LOVE to brush my teeth. i feel so much cleaner after i do. i love to run my tongue over my teeth afterwards because they're so smooth!! i'm a bit of a freak about it ... i have a toothbrush in my house, in my car, and in my purse.

12. when people stay at hotels, why can't they just use a credit card?? come on people, get with the program!! i know it's silly and trivial, but for some reason, i hate taking cash when i'm at work. i think money is grimy and smells funny, so i prefer to keep my hands off of it as much as possible. i wish everyone would just use plastic.

11. i think underwear is the greatest invention ever. i know that sounds weird, but think about it. it adds years to your pants! and helps keep everything neat and clean. underwear is awesome.

10. does anyone else go through phases when it comes to chewing gum? i seem to find i can't live without it for about 3 weeks ... then i chew it hardly at all. hmmm. great mystery of nature, i suppose.

9. i need to go to a movie. i haven't been to a movie theater in a long time. seems i only go when keat is around. my friends and i have such different work schedules we usually don't get to see a movie together.

8. oklahoma can't seem to make up her mind about weather!! one day it's 70 degrees, and the next it's snowing!! it's never dull here, that's for sure!

7. i am absolutely addicted to the tlc show "jon & kate plus 8". i have always been fascinated with large families, especially those with multiples. i find myself watching this show at all hours when i SHOULD be doing so many other things ... like studying, or sleeping.

6. how do i link to other blogs on here? ya'll, i am the WORST person when it come to technology you will ever meet in your life. i don't know how to do anything on here. there are times when i want to link back to another blog, but i don't know how to. i even read blogger's how-to article on links, but it just hurt my brain. can anyone help me?!?

5. i love the book of Ruth in the Bible. she was such a sweetheart and i learn so much from her everytime i read the book.

4. living in prison sounds like one of the scariest things ever. i watched one of those locked-up shows the other day where they take you inside a prison to see what life is really like. i'm sure it's a little dramatized for ratings, but seriously ... that's some scary stuff.

3. i had my first encounter with an iPhone the other day. let me tell you, that little thing is amazing. you can do anything on it!! of course, i only JUST got good at texting on my crappy phone, so i'm not really sure what i would do with one ... but it was pretty nifty!! the guy who sits next to me in microeconomics just got one and was having me read an article he had found. i was pretty fascinated with the little gadget. but i don't think i'd be able to handle one myself.

2. i think naming your children is one of the most important jobs you have as a parent. i want all of my children's names to MEAN something. i want them to ber personal and unique. and i want my children to absolutely love their names. it's their identity. it helps shape them into who they are. i love learning about names and their origins and meanings.

1. there are some days when i really miss steve irwin. no, i didn't know him pesonally. but i still admired and respected him and was enthralled with his show. i hope he went to heaven so i can meet him one day! i have to admit ... i think i actually cried a little bit on the day he died.
