I found the coolest site through stumble the other day. It’s called TypoGenerator. You type in what you want it to say, then it uses various fonts, colors and backgrounds to make nifty artsy images from your words. Here are two I did.

More pictures
Wee One spent last week with my mom and went to VBS at her church. Most of these pictures are from the commencement service last night. It was an Australia themed VBS, and we came home with lots of pictures of kangaroos and lots of boomerangs!
Also, yesterday my sister and her boyfriend decided to wash the dogs, and Wee One wanted to help. Those are just various pictures of her playing in the water and making a total mess. ;)
With her teacher
The Sydney Opera House
Kangaroos!
She was picked to hold the bible for the pledge
Singing "Deep and Wide" (and her lyrics are "there's a mountain flowing deep and wide!")
With me!

A few weeks ago we went on our first family camping trip, and Wee One got to make and eat s'mores for the first time. She refused to toast the marshmallow, but loved eating uncooked ones with chocolate and graham crackers anyway.
Also, Mike's sister had her 10 year dance solo last weekend, and we were there so that Mike, his brothers and his dad could present her with flowers afterward. She was SO pretty and did so well. And I'll admit - I cried. I saw this child in the hospital when she was born, and she's turned into such a beautiful (inside and out) young lady. I'm so very proud of her!

I have no idea what she's so scared about, but this picture makes me laugh!
S'MORES!!!!!

I made a fool of myself
Now that I’ve had time to calm down and think about it, I’m a little embarrassed about how I acted towards Mike this morning. I’ve been getting up 3 mornings a week and going walking/running at the park across the street from our house, and have done it for the last 3 weeks. There is a half-mile walking trail there, and it has been divided into 6 sections (I just checked and that would be 440 ft per section.) Normally I walk a section then run a section, and continue to do that until I’ve gone around twice. The first time around I usually do pretty good with the running parts, but by the second lap I’m struggling. I still haven’t ran every section I’m supposed to at one time.
Anyway, Mike wanted to go with me this morning, so I explained to him what I normally do. I had a feeling he would outrun me, I just didn’t realize by how much. He started running and ran 3 sections, walked for about half a section, then started running again and finished the half mile. Then he stood there and waited for me until I finished.
By the time I arrived I was in tears and so angry. Not at him, just at the fact that I’ve been out there for 3 weeks and can barely run 1/3 of what he did, and I’ve been trying to eat healthy and work out every night and the weight still isn’t coming off. Not to mention that he eats crap all the time and can’t seem to gain weight even if he wants to. And what makes me embarrassed is that I told him all of this - while crying, almost hyperventilating because I was out of breath from running, and while stomping home. I was screaming, crying, and I’m sure the little old ladies that were at the park walking their dogs will be telling their families about the crazy girl that was going off on her husband this morning. Looking back I know I must have looked insane, and Wee One’s tantrums aren’t anything compared to me this morning.
I’ve apologized to him for screaming at him like I did, and even told him that since now I know that he can kick my butt, I’ll know to expect it. I’m still frustrated that it’s taking me a lot longer and a lot more work to do this kind of thing than it does him, but I know eventually I’ll be able to take him. ;)

I miss her :(
It's almost 11:30 pm right now, and I miss Wee One so much. I haven't seen her since Saturday, and won't see her again until this Saturday afternoon. She's been excellent for my mom (well, except for pushing down a little girl with cerebral palsy, but she apologized and the girl accepted), and she sounds SOOOO sweet on the phone. I really didn't think I'd miss her this bad after the week we had last week, but I honestly can't wait to see her on Saturday. I miss my baby!

My New Toy!
Hopefully on next Friday I will have this:
The new iPhone 3G S. I’ve wanted an iPhone for SO long, and I finally saved the money to buy a refurbished one. However, they wouldn’t ever get any in stock, so my dad and stepmom told me they’d give me the rest of the money to get a new one as an early birthday gift. I found out a few days ago that the next generation ones are coming out next Friday, and the largest is the same price as the one I was going to get. I went yesterday to reserve one at our new Apple store, and can't wait for it to come in!
I’ve never paid for a phone in my life, so this is strange to dish out $300 for one. But I know I’ll use it and love it. The only downside is that I still have to get a case for it (I’m so bad about dropping my cell phone), a car charger, pay the $18 upgrade fee to AT&T and then the extra money a month. It’s going to be a lot, but SO worth it!! And I’ve already picked out the case I want (if Mike doesn’t keep trying to find me something sturdier):
Next Friday can’t get here soon enough!

Conversations with Wee One
Wee One is at my mom’s all week for Vacation Bible School. I dropped her off on Saturday, and have talked with her multiple times every day. She’s absolutely hilarious at times, and here’s the conversation we had on Sunday:
(phone rings, and I answer)
Wee One: Hello there! This is not Wee One. This is your Mommy - MamMaw. Wee One has been very very excellent while she’s been at my house!
Me: Oh, well that’s great. I’m glad she’s been very very excellent!
WO: She has. And this is your mommy, and you are my daughter. Wee One has been very excellent and had lots of fun and has played a lot.
(It goes like this for awhile.)
WO: This is my house. I have lots and lots of pictures, and a dirty table!
(About this time I hear my mom scream for her to bring the phone back)
WO: OK, now you can talk to your daughter, Wee One. Because I am not Wee One. I am your mommy! Here’s Wee One!! (and she hands my mom the phone back.)
My mom also told me that she came up to her yesterday and said, “MamMaw, can I have some paper to draw on, because I don’t want to draw on your couch or your floor or your chair because I love you and Mommy said that was bad and I don’t want to be bad because she said if I’m bad you’ll call her and she’ll come get me and I don’t want that so do you have some paper I can draw on?”
And yesterday when I finally manged to get her on the phone I asked what she was doing. Her response? “I’m talking...on the phone...with you...” Thank you, Captain Obvious! I never would have guessed that!!
I am glad that she’s having fun and that she’s being “very very excellent” for my mom. I just hope it continues for the rest of the week!
