girls i would date — jennifer garner (now currently available) and carrie anne moss. could they BE cooler? I mean, come on, could they? I think every straight girl should have at least one crush on a very cool hollywood chick. (oh, like you don’t already, girls…)
people keep asking joshua if my crushes bother him. he says no. because even if THEY are available, I’M certainly not. I guess this still rules out ewan macgregor, huh?

What Matrix Persona Are You?

yes…
how cool am i? i’m morpheus. but i’m not cool enough to have seen the new matrix movie. we’ll have to wait until judah is a bit older and i can bear to leave her long enough than to do something other than take a shower. speaking of judah, she’s doing great — she’s gaining weight and learning all kinds of ways to spit up on daddy. i told joshua i think it’s because he naturally burps her harder than i do. this kid’s got some great gas. she’s pretty amazing.
but mommy on the other hand is not feeling so great. we think i’ve come down with strep throat. my throat started hurting tuesday night and we went to the ambulatory care clinic at parkland (and after waiting for three hours) got a strep test done, but we won’t know the results until next week. I don’t like waiting. So I’m taking antibiotics, which I hate doing because judah’s getting them through nursing. I wanted to wait until we got the results, but that’s going to be so long, and if it is strep then i don’t want to give it to her. last night i could barely swallow at all, i couldn’t sleep… on a scale of one to ten, my throat hurt at an eleven (eleven is one louder, like if you’re playing at ten and it’s not enough, well with this one, you can go one louder…). i could harldy get down chicken soup broth. today is better though, with much praying and begging of god, amoxil, and lots of advil. when you ask god to help take away pain, don’t assume he won’t work through a couple of liqui-gels, cause he sure can.
so we’re not going to able to be part of the pilgrimages happening this summer, which totally bums me out. not being able to go makes me feel trapped. why, oh why, do we have to be in dallas when everyone is hitting amazing spiritual spots all over the place. well, people will just have to hit this city then. if we can’t join the party, i want to bring the party here. I don’t know what that means necessarily, but I know we want to be a part of the journey in whatever way we can.
so I’m really hungry and would like to get up and get some lunch, but I don’t have the heart to remove the sleeping beauty from her place on my chest. She’s so peaceful, I have to check every once in a while to make sure she’s still breathing. right now that’s one of the scariest things about being a new parent. I feel guilty whenever I’m asleep because I’m so afraid something will happen to her or she will need me and i won’t be awake or aware of it. We tried to put her in the bassinet last night to sleep, but I laid in bed and listened to her making all these noises and I couldn’t stand it and had to bring her into bed with us. the lack of sleep i’m experiencing isn’t so much her keeping me awake, it’s me keeping me awake. someone tell me this is normal…
Brad, i apologize for you for your SUV as well. Sorry. I didn’t know.
we’re training judah to sleep through anything. joshua is beating the crap out of the djembe right now, and she’s not even flinching. we think she’s pretty cool.
scariest thing happened yesterday on the way home from my dad’s. a few cars in front of us on the freeway, an SUV’s driver swerved across two lanes to exit at the last minute, went too far and almost hit a car in the exit lanes, overcorrected to miss the car, barely cleared the concrete and swerved across three lanes. he overcorrected again, swerved across those same lanes, almost hit the wall, overcorrected, and swerved straight across all four lanes, coming to a stop facing the oncoming traffic, barely missing the left concrete wall. it’s a MIRACLE that guy didn’t hit anyone and that everyone getting out of his way didn’t hit anyone either.
i was in the backseat with judah, watching this all unfold and all i could muster out of my mouth, was “joshua…” I couldn’t even say what was happening, it was so unbelievable. he didn’t really see it, but he knew something was wrong. he told me that when i said his name he just started praying. i was envisioning a massive car accident, the kind that would shut down the whole freeway, and all i could think about was keeping judah safe. i still can’t believe no one got hit. i cried the rest of the way home.
it’s events like that that make me so certain God exists, loves us and is watching over is. thank you, jesus.
this is also further proof why SUV’s should be outlawed. No offense, Shannon. I still love you, and yours doesn’t count because it was a gift from God.
okay so who is this jay person and why do i not know him? i did meet ted, the only other person i seem to not know (well). if i recall correctly, ted looks just like one of my old roommates from mississippi, jamie.
jamie is tall and freakishly thin, with a beard and long curly hair that he uses way too much mousse on in the mornings. when i flew back into biloxi from a weekend conference, jamie was supposed to pick me up at the airport, but my flight was delayed three hours and he had to go into work. he left my keys at the check-in desk in case my flight got back in before he could come get me (i still don’t know how he thought i would get home without a car…) the note the clerk wrote to go with the keys said for either me of “some guy who looks like jesus” are the only people who could pick them up. jamie really does look like jesus.
my other roommate sean made one of the best christmas cards ever. he took a picture of jamie in a white robe holding a birthday cake. absolute greatness. sean. now there’s a guy who needs a blog.
the devil made me do it…
You are Gambit!
You are a fierce fighter and a good friend to have.
Your preference for solitude and your
attractiveness make you very intriguing to
those you meet. Unfortunately, close
relationships are few and far between for you
because you often have trouble opening up to
others.
