In a better mood today....

fiberaddictafter a bunch of WEIRD dreams. None I can remember fully; they were just really, really odd. George Ure (whom I've NEVER met!) featured in one of them....not sure *why* - my subconscious is really messed up, I guess. :lol:
Anyway, someone :wink: left a comment about Lot having time to pack, and reminded me about Noah. That helped! Plus, it reminded me that the Hebrews had all their stuff - especially critters! - in Goshen during the "Trib-lite" (10 Plagues).
I asked myself yesterday, if we got hit by a fire, and my kids and critters were GUARANTEED safe, what would I go back in for? The only thing? Seriously - the ONLY thing! Was my AA Norwegian Saxony. Not so much because I value *it* over anything else...but because it's the smallest and lightest and easiest carried of all my wheels. If I couldn't go back for anything, well - it's not *mine* to begin with. The Lord provided me with *this* house, and *this* plot of land - He'll take care of me. :nods: Sometimes I just need to be reminded of this....
And, guys - I'm kinda thinking we *might* get to keep stuff....because I have been strongly urged to stock up on fabric, I have been gifted a LOT of sewing thread/patterns/stuff recently *out of the blue*, and I keep being pointed at stuff to buy that if we're not here, I don't need. Some of it is silly, true, like the 2 really CHEAP color e-readers for the kids (Chanukah prezzies!) (I got them for $40 EACH, which is ridiculously cheap!) - some of it's more useful (like the software I found free yesterday AM.) Granted, I might be acquiring it for someone else - and today, I'm OK with it. Mostly. :lol: (Although that doesn't explain the bra pattern I HAD to have.........I....whatever. I have it. :lol:)
Now if someone could explain my sudden NEED for a sliderule.........(yeah. I HAVE to find a sliderule. Think Geek has one for $9.99.....I'm gonna look at the checkbook after we hit the store today. I can't explain this...but I know that I HAVE to have one. :shrug: I've already got manuals and instructions for it........)

Date: 2011-09-16 02:18 pm (UTC)Okay, FYI and 'cause for obvious reasons I didn't want to put specific times on my pages, I will be offline from sometime today until sometime Monday. No news, no email, no notifications. I may get some withdrawl sypmtoms, but try not to worry about that, I can always go cuddle a baby and forget them. Or sleep, which sounds like a blindingly fabulous option right now.
See you guys on Monday!

Who's that girl?
Date: 2011-09-18 12:33 pm (UTC)You do realize that the four of us are gonna chum around in Paradise ((or wherever)) when stuff goes down. It'll be really kewl, to be around people I can actually TALK to. Oh, but throw in Haddassah... I'm fairly certain she'll be in our circle of friends, too. :)
I haven't been spurred to buy anything, do anything, or make anything in a LONG time. Must be I've got what He wants me to have? I don't know. Either that or y'all are gonna have to share.
As for the 'burning house' scenario? 19 books. I'd want my KJV/TCR and 18 photo albums, all stacked by the door as we speak (well, ALWAYS). That's all I'd want, so long as my kids were okay (fried critters wouldn't tear me up too terribly...)
