stuff

Well, by the grace of God, I don't have a party until next Saturday. This is a Very Good Thing, since a coworker unwillingly shared a little bug with me....hopefully it'll leave quickly, and nobody at home will get it. I'm also thankful that my last two days of work (and this one also) are short days.

I am really looking forward to starting The Great Divorce this evening. mairesue and I are going to be reading it together...Yay!

I don't see how someone can loose the 'quota' of hair a day (100, isn't it?) and still have thick hair. I figure I definitely lose at least that much. Aren't you glad I told you? Maybe if I kept my hands out of my hair....heh...that'll be the day.

Just because you have a bugle doesn't mean you know how to play it.

Those roses mom cut for me a few weeks ago dried in the little pitcher, and are just as lovely as they were fresh.

I haven't done the comment thing for a couple weeks...so maybe I'll be different and list everyone who had four or more...( back here, of course! )

So you see why I thought I should start with 4?

My paid account expires next week...I'm seriously considering getting extra pics when I renew, which is funny, because I never thought I would. :) What can I say. I've been bitten by the bug....er, the LJ bug...

Yes!

'...The so-called special providences are no exception to the rule...they are common to all men at all moments. But it is a fact that God's care is more evident in some instances of it than in others to the dim and often bewildered vision of humanity. Upon such instances men seize and call them providences. It is well that they can; but it would be gloriously better if they could believe that the whole matter is one grand providence...'

What's in a name?

Because I'm just naturally curious about things and stuff, and because I want to use my new Hailie icon, here's a couple questions for you:

Why did you parents name you what they did? Was it for the meaning, after a friend/relative, or just because they liked the name?

If you could've chosen your name when you were a kid, what would you have liked to be called?
