Ok. I hate these “blog roundups” but that’s what happens when you don’t write consistently! And as most of you know, I have plenty of randomness swirling in my head to keep up a blog with! My fault. And I love writing…Anyway…This is going to be in list format because its easier and I love making lists!
1) Miley Cyrus—bought the new cd yesterday, love it! And yes, I know you are thinking it, so Ill say it out loud. I DO know that Im 28, not 13. But whatever. I say there’s something to be said about staying a little “young at heart.”…
2) Skip bought me Anne of Green Gables on DVD as a surprise the other day…I cant believe I’ve never blogged about Anne before! My parents bought me the videos when I was little and I’ve been taken with it ever since! I know every word by heart. If you’ve never seen it, borrow it from me! I will say, it makes me want to be Canadian and live on a farm in 1900. But then again…
-every time I see Alias, I want to be in the CIA,
-every time I think about NYC, I want to be a New-Yorker,
-every time I watch Hannah Montana I want to be a teenager again, but be cooler this time around :) ,
-every time I hear the name Kristi Yamaguchi, I for 2 seconds think I actually still have a chance to win Gold in the next winter Olympics if I just train hard enough,
-every time I watch Food Network, I am determined to be the next Barefoot Contessa,
-every time I see an amazing photograph, I am determined to fulfill my life-long dream of being a photographer, even if only for myself. (This one is actually for real :) )
-…this list could go on forever…
3) I’ve been thinking about the significance of my life lately…or at least, how significant I make it. I was very convicted when thinking of pre-Gaylord days when I was so blessed not to have to work, but did not “redeem the time” as much as I could have. Working has opened my eyes to the way I approach looking at staying at home, being a wife and mother…I don’t think I put the significance on it that it deserved before. I would change some things if I could go back, but I can’t. So, I learn from it, pray that our God of goodness uses this lesson for my eventual good and His glory—which I know He will without a doubt, and continue to try to be more like my Savior daily.
4) Lets see, oh yeah!!! So I am also on a mission to use only canvas grocery bags! I bought some at Tom Thumb a long time ago, feeling good about myself for “going green” but then forgetting to take them in the store with me! But, I have been looking at how plastic bags are disposed of and, it’s not good! They are not being recycled, being dumped in the ocean, all kinds of stuff…so I am renewed in my challenge to only use canvas. So since I am having a love affair with Central Market, I bought a bunch there, and I am determined to use them every time!!!!!
Well, thanks for listening to my rambling! I am also determined to write more…not that you are all waiting on the edges of your seats or anything! :)

Love the list! And I LOVE Anne of Green Gables!! Also, every time I watch The Sound of Music I want to move to Austria and run through the meadows singing Do, Re, Mi. Keep writing -- you're good at it!
P.S.
I loved seeing Reesie at Church the other day!! I think she remembered me! I can't believe she'll be TWO in a couple months!
Kate, I think I've commented before, but I'm not even sure. I've been checking your blog for awhile now (I found it through Kristin's). Anyway, I loved this post! Keep up the writing!

And I was about to blog about my canvas grocery bags too!!!!
I use some I got from Target. And people at Walmart are just not hip to the "bring your own bag" routine yet. LOVE IT!
Can I just say that I watched all six VHS tapes of the Anne of Green Gables series this summer? (I'll have to replace them with DVD's soon!) I just finished yesterday. Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, and Anne, The Continuing Story. My lands they are wonderful. I found myself crying so many times. I'm such a sucker for a good movie. I read all the books, too, more than once! I don't know which is better - books or film. Usually I like the books better, but I simply love Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie - Laura and I saw him this summer in The Drowsy Chaperone on stage at Fair Park. He was great! We loved that musical.
Beth :o)
