300 (The Post, not The Movie)

5 comments

Categories: fun, What the heck was THAT?

Let’s see…365 days in a year.

I started this blog on Dec. 30, 2007…it’s now December 1…carry the two…

This blog is 333 days old today.

300 posts in 333 days.

Not bad for a rookie. (Patting myself on the back…ow…I might need an icepack for that.)

Congratulatory cards and checks may be sent to my PO Box, or through Paypal.

Ironically, I almost missed this milestone. I just happened to notice I was on post 299, and I just couldn’t wait…I had to post 300 TODAY. 🙂

(Actually, this was a cheap trick to get to 300, and get it over with, so I can maybe blog again for real tomorrow.)

And on we go…

Just Another Ironic Example of How Words Don’t Mean What We Think They Should Mean

So this morning I go into my favorite coffee hangout (where I don’t drink coffee) and since it was cold this morning, I ordered a “tall” hot chocolate.

The girl behind the counter then holds up a little dinky cup. “You mean this small one?”

“You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”

I Made a Funny

The Wild One, The Director and I were looking for photo ops today. The following conversation took place:

Me: Honey, where do you want to go now?

Wild One: I was thinking about going downtown.

Me: Yeah, that would be fun. We could have lunch down there, too. (Checked my pocket for change.) Oh, wait…I don’t have enough change for the parking meters down there. Do you guys have any change?

The Director: Nope.

Wild One: I don’t think so.

Why I Don’t Twitter (Yet)

Categories: fun, Rantings, What the heck was THAT?

…or is it “Why I Don’t Tweet?” Twit? Whatever.

It seems more and more of my blogger comrades are selling out beginning to use Twitter in addition to all the other connectivity programs out there.

Little by little everyone starts to Twittle Twitter. (Dangit. Thought I had a rhyme going there.)

Well, I’m still holding out–for now. And here are some reasons why…

Jeesh, I Almost Forgot. It’s Halloween.

The above title is of great personal significance to me because I used to get uber-spooked by this day each year.

Now, listen–I believe in the spirit world, and supernatural things going on all the time that we can’t see. I am fully aware that there are some fringe people who take this day very seriously, and will go do some real witchcraft things in the dark in the woods, and possibly even hurt people. I am aware of the Druid and occult roots of Halloween, and personally I still do not observe it, nor does my family. My son has never really missed trick-or-treating, never had a desire to do it.

Best of LMR: "The Unwritten Rules of Blogging (As I Interpret Them)"

No comments yet

Categories: fun, What the heck was THAT?

Reposted from July 2008.

So I’ve been officially in the blogosphere for a little over six months now, and maybe, just maybe, I’m getting the hang of it.

Come to find out that bloggers, like nearly any other group, have their own little culture. So you don’t just sign on with a Blogger account and start writing. NOooooo. You have to learn how to do it, um, properly. Just like we had to learn certain rules of etiquette when we started emailing, or certain ways of expressing ourselves with characters other than the alphabet (like 300 different forms of smiley faces) 😀 –as a blogger, you eventually learn how to walk the walk. Online, of course.

This. Is. So. Cool.

Categories: off the map, What the heck was THAT?

Hello from Denver.
I am blogging today from the Off the Map Conference.
That’s right.
From the main venue.
During the opening event.
I’m not blogging from my cell phone. I’ve got my laptop on. In “church.”
This is very new to me. I’m not used to people letting me have my laptop on in a church-type meeting.

But Off the Map encourages it.
They are providing the free wi-fi.
They also tell you to leave your cell phones on.

I feel so postmodern.

I’ll keep checking in…

Best of LMR: "Constipated Anointing"

Reposted from January 2008.

I’m about to get a bit irreverent and share a funny, sad, true story. ::Inserts tongue firmly into cheek…::

A number of years ago I was invited to lead worship for a week-long campmeeting at a church in Bakersfield, California. Right away I noticed that the pastor of this charismatic Word-Faith church had a distasteful beat-the-sheep leadership style, and that he had something to prove. Anyway, he announced that the last night would be an anointing service, where he would lay hands on and pray for anyone who wanted it. He pumped this up as the climax of the campmeeting, and that last day he went into seclusion to pray and fast, denying his flesh and all distractions so the Holy Spirit would honor his faith and move upon the people.
