It finally happened

My parents, my hometown, and my 6th grade social studies teacher were just on CNN.

The topic?

Do you think Obama's a Muslim?

Even better, the host at the end asked, "Why did you choose (this town) for your story?" The reporter replied, "Oh, it was totally random." We just picked up a map and pointed...but you could get this in any state.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggght.

And it had nothing to do with being the sight for part of deliverance, not a black soul in the county, the local high school mascot being the Rebel and the fight song is Dixie?

Oh no....their finger could have landed on Chicago or Harlem even..but instead they randomly picked podunk to prove that ole Barack is getting a bad rap.

Hmmmm..

I have to be honest...

I have LOVED this book.

It has started so many good conversations, sometimes even with other people!

All of the "frightening" and "subversive" reviews just make me like it even more.


Yay for the Shack! :)

Ouch

Today at church, a lady said something about having kids. I kind of gave her the "yeah...about that" look...hoping to imply that I'm not sure I'll ever want kids.

Her response:
"Oh that's right, you probably need to be married"
yeah...
"Well, it could happen"
_____________________________________________

It could happen? Like a meteor hitting the Earth or Tim Gunn being straight? Like MTV returning to music or Paris Hilton becoming a TV evangelist?

It's not likely....but it COULD happen.

Really?

I'm only 26!

Really?!!

New Blog

So...this is my new blog.

Because my quasi-professional blog is called Teach-on-purpose (and is sort of a will-this-book-sell blog) I felt weird blogging about anything but school.

This is just the honest blog from a single girl who loves Jesus like mad, bakes like a revolutionary, pours most of who she is in students, and fears 30 more than she's willing to admit.

I'm not going to publicize this one a lot.

There's no agenda.

There's just me.
