Miniature Golfing

Today we went miniature golfing. It's part of a new weekly routine our family is starting.....Sports Saturday. In order to keep fit and spend some quality time together as a family, we are trying different sports and activities each week. I know this is only our first week, but so far it's a good experience. So often we get bogged down in the day to day routines of life, and we don't take time to really enjoy each other. Even Sam, who never really did get the hang of swinging the club, had a great time. And we discovered that Liz is pretty good at miniature golf. Next week I think we'll try bowling.

I've discovered podcasts!

For my birthday I got a little mp3 player. It doesn't have the name recognition of Ipod, but so far it's working just fine for me. I just use Windows Media Player to sync everything. I was looking for some music to listen to during my workouts, and I discovered podcasts! Since I'm more of a talk-radio listener than a music listener, poscasts have been great for me. So far I listen to Dave Ramsey, Kay Arthur, and Rowdy Racing News. I know, it's an eclectic group of podcasts, but then I tend to be a somewhat eclectic person. Perhaps my best find during my search for podcasts was OnePlace, a site where you can get lots of FREE Christian podcasts. Did I mention most of them are FREE? My earbuds are going to be permanently attached to my ears!

I stumbled upon this tonight

Geni is a site for making your family tree. I must have played around with it for an hour. I've always been interested in tracing my ancestry, and I really like the way this site is set up! I can't wait to tell my husband about it. He's much farther along in tracing his family tree than I am! I am just loving Stumbleupon! I have come across so many cool sites by just stumbling!

Quizzes, courtesy of Kandy

Kandy was bored today and posted some quizzes over at Kandy's Ramblings. It was fun to see her answers, and since I'm bored, I thought I'd take them, too. So here goes.

You Are Italian Food

Comforting yet overwhelming. People love you, but sometimes you're just too much.

What Kind of Food Are You?

Wow, I've never been accused of being too much before!

Your Attitude is Better than 65% of the Population

You have a good attitude. While a realist, you do see the positive side of most things. People love to be around you.

How's Your Attitude?

That seems pretty right on.

You Are a Believer

You definitely believe in God - and you're very unwavering in your religious beliefs. In fact, religion and spirituality are definitely big parts of your life. Religion shapes how you view right and wrong, as well as the decisions you make. It's hard for you to imagine how your life would be without your beliefs.

Are You an Atheist, Agnostic or a Believer?

No surprise there.

You Are 48% Brutally Honest

Honesty is important to you, but generally, you try not to be brutal about it. You'll sugar coat the truth when you need to... and tell a white lie when necessary.

How Brutally Honest Are You?

That's about right.

You Are 55% Normal

While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?

Woohoo! I've got a little of my freak going on! LOL

You've Experienced 72% of Life

You have all of the life experience that most adults will ever get. And unless you're already in your 40s, you're probably wise beyond your years.

How Much Life Experience Do You Have?

Wow, 72% of life, and I'm only 35!

Your Famous Movie Kiss is from Spiderman

"I have always been standing in your doorway. Isn't it about time somebody saved your life?"

What Famous Movie Kiss Are You?

And I haven't even seen the movie.

You Are 10% Redneck

I'll slap you so hard, your clothes will be outta style. You ain't no redneck - you're all Yankee!

How Redneck Are You?

That doesn't surprise me.

You Are Not Destined to Rule the World

You are destined for something else... Like inventing a new type of cupcake. You just don't have the stomach for brutality. But watch out - because many people do!

Are You Destined For World Domination?

Also not surprising. I have no desire to rule the world.

You Are a Liberal Republican

When you tell people that you're Republican, they rarely believe you. That's because you're socially liberal - likely pro-choice and pro-gay rights. You're also not so afraid of big goverment, as long as it benefits people and not politicians. You are the most likely of any Republican type to swing over to the Democrat side sometimes.

What's Your Political Persuasion?

Um, did they even pay attention to my answers???? I am PRO-LIFE, and I hate big government! I've never been accused of being a liberal anything! I'd consider myself very much a conservative. So that's it for today. My son is wanting to get out of the bath, and my husband wants to get on the computer to find out how redneck he is. Thanks for the fun, Kandy!
