Tra-la-la-la-laaaaaa!

My routine 6-month dental cleaning was yesterday, and I noticed something strange in my chart notes...

The hygienist was asking about medications and supplements, and I mentioned taking evening primrose oil for menstrual symptoms. She noted that it was for "minstrel cramps", so I guess if my uterus breaks into song then you'll know it's my time of the month. :o)

Shout to the Lord

WOW. Okay, so I heard from a reliable source (Seth, our drummer with the TFC worship team) that the American Idol contestants sang "Shout to the Lord" as a group number on one of the shows this year. It's not that I disbelieved him, but I really wanted to see for myself. Well, here it is...



Jesus has definitely been a more prevalent name than usual in this year's competition, especially on the night when Dolly Parton was the guest artist. On that night, more than one contestant sang faith-based songs, and Dolly herself sang a song called "Jesus & Gravity." What a remarkable thing, to welcome our Lord and Savior onto network television! :o)

Day 8

This, my friends, is Day 8 of my month without indulging in the supremely addictive chai lattes which have become my comfort from stress and the bane of my caloric existence. Argh, this is harder than it should be. It's only a beverage right? On the bright side, I noticed today that my hands aren't shaking in the morning with the rush of sugar and caffeine. That makes it much easier to sit at my keyboard and type, without the appearance of early-onset Parkinson's disease. Oh why, oh why must you call to me so, O Woobie in Liquid form, Thou $4 Temptress?! As Beth would say, "You will not defeat me!"
