I’ve Been Carded meme

Captain's Log, Stardate 12.22.2007

Ronie Kendig altered this CARDED meme to include a Spiritual Wish list so we can know how to pray for each other, both spiritually and physically. Isn’t that a great idea?

THE RULES:

1. Each player starts with 5 gifts that they would want for Christmas.
2. People who are "CARDED" need to write their own Blog about their 5 things & post these rules.
3. At the end of your Blog, you need to choose 5 people to get "CARDED" and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a COMMENT telling them they're "CARDED", and to read your Blog.

My Materialistic Gift/Wish List:

1. Another contract or two
2. The Robotech DVD collection. I loved this series when I was growing up!
3. A recumbent exercise bike. My old one has a weird seat that angles forward, and it’s causing havoc on my back.
4. A drip water system for my plants
5. An Alphasmart Neo

My Spiritual Gift/Wish List:

1. Discipline to eat smaller portions, stop snacking so much, and exercise every day.
2. Spend more time in prayer
3. Writing discipline and not getting distracted from my daily word count.
4. Trust in God to provide for us financially
5. Peace, patience, love, and wisdom for the Genesis contest.

The people I have carded (in alphabetical order):

1. Ausjenny
2. Christina Berry (I hope her surgery went well!)
3. Mary Connealy
4. Pamela James
5. Cheryl Wyatt

Camy, color me clueless here, but is "carding" a meme the same as "tagging"? I've not seen this term before and my curious brain just had to ask.

Oops...I just realized that for some reason the above comment which was really from ME got signed in as from my daughter. She will NOT be pleased to be portrayed as such a ditz on your blog. Oh well...

And after posting that I also realized that I guess its pretty obvious that "carded" and "tagged" are synonyms. Can I blame it on being out past midnight Christmas shopping last night and then being up late tonite doing laundry so my kids have the required clean clothes for tomorrow's (actually, by now TODAY'S) church Christmas prgm?

However I spread it, I'm just a scatterbrain at times and lack of sleep doesn't make that noggin work any better. Sigh...

Off to turn off the dryer and get in bed!

Merry Christmas, Camy! And I hope you get all those wishes this year. :)

Your spiritual giftlist - I could have written it myself. All of the items.

Anyway, I already received the book you sent me. Thanks. I know it will be few years from now that I can really relate to it, but I'm glad that I have a guide on how to deal with a teenager.

At this very moment my mother is reading the book and she might have gotten a thing or two there - the funny thing is, everyone of us (her children) is past that "teen" years already.

Have a blessed New year, Camy!

Chinese Take-Out and Sushi for One

Captain’s Log, Supplemental My agent sent me an article from Publisher’s Weekly that discussed this incident: Chinese Take-Out Spawns Christian Controversy And here’s also a blog post that talks about it in more detail: The Fighting 44s This is Soong-Chan Rah’s blog: The PCS blog In sum: Apparently Zondervan (yes, my publisher), who has partnered with Youth Specialties, had put out a youth leaders skit that had stereotypical Asian dialogue, which offended many Christian Asian Americans. In response to the outcry, Zondervan/Youth Specialities put out a sincere apology and is not only freezing the remaining stock of the book, but also reprinting it and replacing the copies people have already bought. I am very proud of my publisher for how they have handled this situation. The skit writers have also issued a public apology . (I feel sorry for them, because they were only trying to write a funny skit, not stir up this maelstrom of internet controversy. I’ve been in youth work long enou...

Toilet seat cover

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Update August 2008: I wrote up the pattern for this with "improvements"! Here's the link to my No Cold Bums toilet seat cover ! Okay, remember a few days ago I was complaining about the cold toilet seat in my bathroom? Well, I decided to knit a seat cover. Not a lid cover, but a seat cover. I went online and couldn’t find anything for the seat, just one pattern for the lid by Feminitz.com . However, I took her pattern for the inside edge of the lid cover and modified it to make a seat cover. Here it is! It’s really ugly stitch-wise because originally I made it too small and had to extend it a couple inches on each side. I figured I’d be the one staring at it, so who cared if the extension wasn’t perfectly invisible? I used acrylic yarn since, well, that’s what I had, and also because it’s easy to wash. I’ll probably have to wash this cover every week or so, but it’s easy to take off—I made ties which you can see near the back of the seat. And...

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures...

Brainstorm - character occupation

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.23.2009 Hey guys, I could use some help. In my current manuscript, The Year of the Dog , which is a humorous contemporary romance, I have a minor character, Eddie. He’s my heroine’s ex-boyfriend, and they’re on good terms with each other. He’s a bit irresponsible, but not so much so that he’s a complete loser. He’s got a very easy going attitude, he forgets to pay his bills sometimes, he’s friendly and charming. He’s adventurous and fun to be around, but he’s a little forgetful sometimes, and he tends to spend a little outside his income. I need an occupation for him. What would a charming, easy going, slightly irresponsible guy do for a living? He’s not too irresponsible, because otherwise readers will wonder what in the world my heroine saw in him to date him in the first place. She was attracted to his charm, his easy going attitude (her family’s uptight, and he was a nice contrast), and his adventurousness. But his forgetfulness and irresponsibility ...
