Random Post for Today

My new favorite sandwich is a grilled cheese and egg. Yummy. I eat a lot of egg salad sandwiches. Well, a couple of weeks ago I was craving a grilled cheese and realized I had not eaten one in years. So I thought that would be a good switch from my usually egg salad. But then I thought I could make the grilled cheese even better by adding an egg. And it did. It's probably not the healthiest option considering I put two slices of cheese on it and cover the outside in butter. But it's so good.
Ok, I gotta run. I don't want my sandwich to get cold! (I told ya'll this was random.)

Mama Mia!

I went to see this yesterday with my friend Lauren. It was so good and now I need the soundtrack. And I want to go to Greece. If you do not like musicals, this movie is not for you. To me, every musical turned movie is different, but this one has lots of singing in it, which I particularly like. And who knew that ABBA had any other good songs besides "Dancing Queen"? Well, it so happens that they do. There was only one part at the end that I was not happy with how it resolved. I am wondering if it also happened in the Broadway version too. But overall it was really good and just a fun movie!

By Request

Here is a link to the Soffe shorts that I bought and their website. I bought the Mod Print ones. I still can't believe nobody knows what I'm talking about! I hope ya'll won't laugh at them like my husband did.

I even found this video about Soffe shorts. You will notice that the "cool" thing to do is roll down the wasitband. I'm not sure why though. But all the college girls in Tuscaloosa did too.

Just for Denise

So, Denise asked me the other day why I never post pictures on my blog. I told her it's because that most of the time my pictures are of my nieces and nephew. And my SIL is weird about posting pics. of them on the internet. Well, Jeremy and I kept Mary Selwyn for Denise and Shay last week and I took some pictures of her. So I am posting these for Denise and because MSN is so cute!
My aunt was in the Mardi Gras parade in Panama City and Jeremy and I brought home a bunch of beads because we thought Jaylee and Tanner would like to play with them. Well they love them and it turns out, so did Mary Selwyn. Of the few toys we have at the house, who knew that beads would be the favorite?

Soffe Shorts

So I feel like I should be back in high school or college right now because I bought a pair of Soffe shorts today. Which is funny, because I never wore Soffe shorts in high school or college. Anyway, they are not the original short shorts. They are Bermuda length and have a cute print on them. They are so cute and comfortable and I believe I am going to need another pair. I got them at Dick's today. On sale of course! (Btw, if any of you need anything from Dick's they are having a pretty good sale. And they have several racks of clothes on clearance.) I am all about comfortable, lounging clothes like track suits and now I have discovered the wonder that is Soffe.

The Antichrist

I know. Pretty deep topic for a Monday morning. But Jeremy and I were talking about this yesterday. And it is not a subject I like discussing or anything from the book of Revelation for that matter. In fact, I try to steer clear of that area if at all possible! I know I shouldn't though. In fact we should all be more knowledgeable on this subject and aware of what is taking place in the world. Our Sunday School lessons for the month of July focus on Revelation so I really haven't had much of a choice to think about it.
Anyway, like I said, I don't read Revelation very often so the answer to my question might indeed be in the book. But Jeremy and I were talking on the way to lunch yesterday and I was pondering about the Antichrist. Is he somebody that has been or will be born and live a life on this earth just as Jesus did? Or will he just appear as if from nowhere? Or is the Antichrist a spirit that will inhabit someone?
If this person is already in the world, I have a few people I think it might could be! I write that and kind of laugh, but it really is a serious thing we shouldn't joke about. My SS book said that Martin Luther, JFK, Mikhail Gorbachev, Bill Gates and Saddam Hussein have all been referred to as the Antichrist at some point.
I also just read in my SS book that the word Antichrist isn't actually used in the book of Revelation. (who knew?) However, a beast coming out of the sea is symbolic of the Antichrist. Attributes of the beast are thought to symbolize or indicate strength, royalty, and political and military power.
Here is a link to more thoughts about the Antichrist from our SS literature. (I think I've linked another article from this site before. Good stuff.)

I know this is a scary thing to talk and think about. But like I said, it needs to be something we are aware of. Me included. I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

My Words Won't Do It Justice

I'm sure by now that most of you have seen this video. But it's just so amazing and awesome that I wanted to post it. (especially now that I've learned how to upload a video. turns out it wasn't that hard) Actually I am going to post two videos about this father and son. Anyway, I think they speak for themselves.

I Love a Good Deal

I am a sucker for a sale, clearance, markdowns, etc. I just can't help myself. And I love to come home and show Jeremy all the great bargains I find. I always say, Well this shirt was originally $25 but I got it for $9.99. Of course his response is, If you didn't need it, it doesn't matter that it was on sale. He is a typical man. He also says that he is going to open a store one day called Half Off. He says he will make a killing because all women love to think they are getting a good deal! I guess that's probably true. And I know you ladies will appreciate my finds so I would like to share them with you.
Last Monday I went to Old Navy. I found a couple of things. Not great deals, but marked down enough that I bought the items. I got a t-shirt for $10 (it has cute puffy sleeves) and a little yellow purse for $5.99. I was pleased with my purchase.
Now for the good stuff. Jeremy and I went to Vanity Fair down in Graceville last Thursday. He desperately needed some new pants. He got 5 pairs of khaki pants and two pairs of khaki shorts for $75! You just cannot beat that. One pair of pants was not on sale though. They rang up for $18, but you still are not going to find clothes that cheap. What makes this story even better is that the night before Jeremy rolled the change in his change cup and came up with $72! So we definitely came out good on that shopping trip.
Saturday I went to the mall. My first stop was Lerner (New York and Company). Yes, I still say Lerner. Anyway, they are having an awesome sale and I got a really good deal. I got 3 shirts and a denim skirt for $30! Again, you just cannot beat that. They had several racks that were 70% off and several racks that were 70% off the clearance price! I was so excited about my good deal. Then I went to Victoria's Secret. They are also having a sale. I got 3 pair of Angels underwear for $9.78. And I think they are normally like $16 a piece or 3 for $30. Something like that. The tags actually said they were marked down to $5.99. So me being the cheapo that I am only took two to the register. Then they rang up for $2.99. I told the cashier to hang on because I wanted one more pair!
I hope I have not bored you all with my shopping stories. But I was so excited I just had to share!
Happy shopping ya'll!

Happy 4th of July!

I know that the state of our nation is not the best right now. The economy is bad and with the upcoming election, who knows where we will be headed? However, I still feel that we are blessed and privileged to live in America. I often wonder what my life would be like if I had been born in another country, specifically a third world country. And I am also thankful and grateful to have been born into a Christian family and in a country where we are free to worship the way we want. Because I was raised the was I was, it's hard for me to imagine not growing up that way. But sadly many people do. In America we are also blessed with many other rights, privileges, and luxuries that other's do not have as well. So in spite of how we all may feel about our country and our leaders right now, let's remember that we truly do have it pretty good. And don't forget to remember the ones who fought to gain and maintain your freedom.
Have a happy and safe 4th!
