Dont forget hubbys Friday Flashback over at Valtools Box. He has some great old school videos posted!
Michael and I have been looking for a new church. We went last Sunday to a traditional Presbyterian Church. We enjoyed it and the people were very nice to us! I was telling a coworker about it and she said watch out, they are judgemental and not so nice.
Why are churches judgemental? Why do people find them hypocritical?

My blog
You know I was reading the blog that started this whole thing. This reminded me of why I started blogging. It wasn't for Thursday 13's, polls or anything like that. It was truly to share my random thoughts.
After reading his latest post, I feel like I have lost what I wanted to do, if that makes sense. I really am not as superficial as my posts or lists may imply. I am much more than that and I don't share it often. I think that I do not share my opinions of views because I am afraid of responses. Anyone who knows me knows that I do not like conflict. In fact, I am a professional avoider of all conflict. It is my specialty.
So, who am I? I think that's a good question. I really am more than just a wife or a pediatric nurse or a sister or a daughter or future mom (on that note, huge announcement on adoption blog, click here). I am child of God. I was put on this earth for a purpose, more than just the purpose of breathing and doing day to day things. I want a passion. I need a passion. There are many bloggers who support environmental things, causes in other countries which I think is awesome. I want something I can learn more about, something that will inspire to make a change. I think the problem I have is the same problem I have after a retreat. You are mentally ready to make a change, you are hyped up and then it does not last. I don't want that to happen but its happened too many times.
So, I am going to try to write more things about me, what I believe in, what I stand for, what I am passionate for. Sometimes, these will be quite serious, sometimes they will not. This I can not help.
There are many believers in Christ who blog. There are many people who post that this is the opposite of what they believe in.
Until tomorrow.

Thirteen movie quotes from my favorite movies 1M'Lynn: I find it amusing. Men are supposed to be made out of steel or something. I just sat there. I just held Shelby's hand. There was no noise, no tremble, just peace. Oh god. I realize as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life. Steel Magnolias 2)Maggie Carpenter: A girl can't get married in flannel! Runaway Bride 3)Noah: I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. The Notebook 4)Justin Matisse: Dancing's just a conversation between two people. Talk to me. Hope Floats 5)Buzz: I'm Buzz Ravenal. Let's dance. Carson: I'm sorry, I'm engaged. Buzz: Well, I'm sorry you're engaged, too. Shag 6)Annie: What? What's that face? George: It's nothing. Annie: Oh, this is going cost you more money. George: No. It's just... I know I'll remember this moment, for the rest of my life Father of the Bride 7)Kellie Frost: I don't like Bull Riders... They're little men with big egos. Besides, he's got one of them skinny butts like the rest of em'. Kelly's Mom: Honey, I judge a man more by the size of his heart then his rear... It's likely to do you more good. 8 seconds 8)Jamie: How can you see places like this... and have moments like this and not believe? Landon: You're lucky to be so sure. Jamie: It's like the wind. I can't... see it, but I feel it. A Walk to Remember 9)Sensitive Moviegoer: Now, I'm going to go back inside and finish watching "Sleepless in Seattle". Nobody screw with me How to Lose a Guy in 10 days 10)Buddy: Buddy the Elf! What's your favorite color? ELF 11)Chazz Reinhold: HEY MOM! CAN WE GET SOME MEATLOAF? Wedding Crashers 12)John Bender: Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe? the breakfast club 13)Daniel: Wouldn't a fly swatter be easier? Miyagi: Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything. Daniel: Ever catch one? Miyagi: Not yet.lub The Karate Kid Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

So, I am thinking of a new post to put up since my American Idol post below has not been so popular. Thats okay though.
Whats going on with me these days? Working, wondering why there are so many new brain tumor diagnosis, wondering where we will be living in a few years, adoption papers, spending time the husband and puppy, adoption papers, blogging and adoption papers have been the priorities.
FYI, after eating pizza Sunday night after the neighborhood drama, I swore I would not get on the scale. I did tonight! Woo, its still a good thing..Down 1.4 pounds making the total 12.6 pounds so far. Since you are my accountability, I thought I would share that with you. Those 100 calorie packs rock!

Ten on Tuesday
This week's theme is 10 Things You Would Do if You Were Younger!
If you feel like playing, click here!
1. I would have been more social in high school
2.I would have been nicer to my siblings
3.I would have finished nursing school earlier
4.I would have gone out with my sister and BIL on my 25th bday while we were in London. Instead, I moped around and stayed inside
5.I would have learned how to ice skate
6.I would have saved more money
7.I would have spent more time with my family
8.I would have been more active outside
9.I would have kept in touch with old friends
10.I would have gotten my drivers license sooner instead of waiting until senior.
These are things I wish I had sone but I am glad I am not. The reason is that because I did not do those things, I am where I am today and for that I am grateful.
Dont forget the American Idol Poll below!

Neighboorhood Drama
There was drama yesterday. Next door. I mean right next door. The house to the left of us whose occupants just moved in. Michael posted it at his blog, which you can find here! It was pretty wild. Its a shame I met more neighbors after a dramatic event than I have in the past 2 years!

What I did today
More random thoughts, sorry if this is confusing.
Okay, so I worked all weekend. It was busy. My customer service probably was not at its best because of how busy I was. Many brain tumors were diagnosed this weekend. My patients parents received bad news and I am not sure they have accepted, thats bothered me. Saturday night was busier but not has difficult.
I carpooled with a friend and I am so glad she drove Sat night. I got home around 810 am and got ready because Michael and I planned on visiting a 900am service. It takes about 6 minutes to get there from our house so even though we left at 850 we were able to get a seat say hello to someone and enjoyed the service.
We attended Heritage Pres Church and this was quite a friendly bunch. The pastor is a jolly man who I really enjoyed and after the service a lot of people welcomed us. At the beginning of the service, the pastor asked us to raise our hand if we were first time visitors. I usually dislike this but this time, as our hands were raised, children brought his a loaf of handmade bread. That was neat.
I enjoyed the choir and traditional music. It was odd because a lot of the music was played at Caties funeral back in January. By the way, the family is doing well for those who were following her.
Back to the church, the 9am service is smaller than the 11am service which we will need to try. This church has a choir which Michael likes, an active women's ministry and a lot of family gatherings. I have never heard of this but they had dinner at the church on Sunday and Wednesday.
I think we both enjoyed it. There is a Methodist and Baptist church that we want to visit, but we enjoyed today!
Thursday 13 is back! Woohoo

more thoughts on a Friday night at work
Whats going on peoples? I am working friday and saturday nights and then I have Sunday off with hubby. Should be fun. The adoption paperwork is coming along.. I am about to make lots and lots of copies.
Work is stressful. Brain tumors are everywhere and I really dont know why.
These are my random thoughts, so a lot of my thoughts are not in order!
I am tired of reading about Anna and Brittany but unfortunately the majority of my news comes from the CNN online entertainment page.
Is there any news that you find interesting????

Well, the poll below shows You've Got Mail in the lead..Have you voted yet?
Lets see. Whats going on? Working extra this week at work! Was able to see my sister for dinner this week was fun! There are a lot of brain tumors being diagnosed which sucks. Sorry to write that but it bums me out! My house is still not clean but I can imagine it spotless, does that help?
Sometimes, I wonder if I am not crazy. Seriously. Right now, I am in a really good mood for no reason. Perhaps it was because Michael, Lucy the dog, and I got to catch on DVR stuff today. I don't know. Perhaps its because we are really getting into the paperchase with the adoption stuff. Or perhaps its because I am too dang tired right now.
I'm still bummed Thursday 13 is going away but I am participating in other memes ( just google daily meme)

Feast One Hundred & Thirty Two
Appetizer
Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?
a)on my left knee when I climbed on a riding lawnmower while the engine was hot when I was 6
b) back of left hand. I put a car cigarrette lighter on it and pushed down to see what shape it was. didnt know it was hot..i wont tell you how old I was
Soup
What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
I love to tell this story because its amazing and true.It was sophomore year of college. I was driving to nashville from jackson in ice and snow by myself with no phone and skidded and landed in the other lane in the mud. A man stayed with me and helped for almost 2 hours.I did not know him.He was so nice and gave me advice especially about wearing good shoes in bad weather. I was so thankful and so relieved because i had nothing on me. He left and his license plate said WINGS...i know it was an angel.
ALso, when I was 6, my sister fell out of a 2 story window and landed 6 inches from the air conditioner..She was ok!
Salad
Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves.
Sometimes Rosie O but other times I like her... Andy Dick bothers me
Main Course
What was a funny word you said as a child (such as "pasketti" for "spaghetti")?
not sure i had any but i loved when my brother went to lunch with us and the waiter asked him if he wanted soup or salad.wes said Yes Please! He thought it was a Super Salad! It took me a long time to pronounce dossier this year. I will come back to this
Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have always thought _the Washington Redskins were from the state of Washington...apparently they are not

American Idol recap
Lets see how long my favorites stay. Here are my top 4 pics!
Jared
Lakisha

Let me say that I really like Paul, but I dont think he will be in the finals and I hope the ozzy guys stays around a while. I like his personality

American Idol
We have watched the dudes and now we have to watch the DVR for the second half of the girls today. I was disappointed with the majority of the guys and I disagreed with judges on a few. One of favorites Is Jarod this year, I think he has a great voice! I really liked Paul Kim in the auditions, but he did not perform well at all. The girls have got the boys beat this week. Chris Sigh, the dude that looks like jack osbourne, does have a fun personality. I like him, but I don't think he will make it to the finals. I also liked Sundance in the auditions but I don't think he will make it to the finals..I will make my prediction after watching the rest of it this week.
I really thought the bald headed dude was wrecking my wedding song when he took on Edwin McCain. By the end of the performance, I was liking it. I did not like the amount of eye make up. He looked like Peter Furlor of the Newsboys. I am not saying that's bad, but....
The girls so far have had 2 awesome performances so far, will it continue? Leslie wont last long no matter how much I like her hair color. She reminds my husband of Mary Stuart Masterson. Nicole wont last long either. Melinda reminds me of someone, can anyone tell me who? It may be one of the girls from the original Real World, but its bothering me. I was hoping Antonella would have done better because I did not like her friend on the auditions and would love to see her go far..
Until I finish watching,
Amy who is still sad that Thursday 13 is over!
