a medley of thoughts, ponderings, memories and musings to inspire you to think, challenge you to grow, tickle your funny bone or make you fall to your knees and thank the Lord you don't have my mind
t’s Friday! My hubby comes home tonight after being gone FOREVER! Okay, three days, but still. I’m so looking forward to snuggling, seeing his handsome face and breathing in his scent. But you aren’t here for that. You’re here for
Today’s Question:
What book are you reading now? Fiction? Nonfiction?
I’m currently reading Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver (for review) and Clean House, Clean Planet by Karen Logan (for ideas). I also have some Christian Fiction to read soon.

My mind was totally blank on what to do for this week’s theme. I figured something would pop up on YouTube if I did a search. I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I learned about a terrific feature of Google Maps. Check it out:

sn’t it pretty? I love wordpress and I’m thrilled to have My Meandering Mind on my own server. It will take a while before I can get all the old posts and comments moved over here since I have to do it one post and one comment at a time. Tedious at best.
I’m still getting things set up, but I couldn’t wait any longer to unveil the new blog look and location. What do you think of the new digs?
We are partying ALL. WEEK. LONG. This is my first year participating and I’m having way too much fun. I have five blogs and I’ve managed to come up with a unique party post on each which means I am either creative, have waaaay too much time on my hands, or I’m procrastinating like crazy. Pick A, pick A.
My Meandering Mind really is all about my meandering mind and I never know where it’s going to take me any given day. That makes life exciting don’t you think? Ok, it’s downright scary. But not as scary as this flashback to the 80s:
Remember the big hair and scary makeup? And the clothes. Shudder. But I met my hubby in the 80’s and I have many fond memories. Bad memories go away. GO. AWAY.
Here’s a picture of hubby and me from that crazy decade. Weren’t we cute? Check out his braces. I fell head over heels for that boy from the first moment I saw him. Literally. I’ll tell you that story later.
Seriously, I strive for a sense of insanity humor with this blog. God has blessed me with the ability to laugh at myself. Apparently, He gave this gift to others because they frequently laugh at me, too.
Now I know you have other bloggy party posts to attend, so see that subscribe button right above my picture over there on the right? Just stick your email in there and then you can hear all about my FALLING in love and other meandering thoughts.
Please leave a fun comment before you leave. I’d love to visit your place.
The banner at the top of the page will take you to The Ultimate Blog Party. There are lots of people to get to know, blogs to check out and PRIZES to win.
If those are already taken, I’d love the following (in order):
15, 37, 59, 55, 60, 39, 103, 87, 47, 11, 62, 34, 64, 7, 17, 46, 74, 100, 105, 104, 99, 3, 75, 28, 8, 90, 73, 70 - after that, anything is fine.
There are so many awesome things that it’s really hard to choose. You don’t even need a blog to participate. Now go have fun!
Aloha Friday always makes me think of hot, summer days on the beach. There isn’t a beach here, but it does get hot. I’m looking forward to warmer days spent at the pool. I spent some time pruning plants and weeding out the dead stuff from our flower beds out front today. It felt great getting it cleaned up and thinking about the gorgeous flowers I want to plant this year. Which leads me to…
Today’s question is
What flowers do you like to plant in your garden?

1. Going for a walk on a warm, sunny day with a slight breeze. I have two out of three, but it’s only 45. BRRRR.
2. Playing a brilliant piece of music on my acoustic guitar which would assume I knew how to play. My goal is to learn in 2008.
3. Capturing some amazing photographs with my beautiful camera which would mean I’d have to be out and about living life instead of sitting here on this machine.
4. Writing a blog post so attention getting that I have a couple hundred comments from fans who can’t help but leave their imprint on such an awesome and funny message by its own merits and not because it has a giveaway attached to it. (How’s that for a rambling sentence?)
5. Reading a captivating book where I’m lost in a different world.
6. Spending some time ALONE with my sexy husband.
7. Chatting it up with my friends as we laugh about every day life moments. Oh wait - this happens tomorrow! w00t
8. Writing THE END on my novel Midnight Ride because I’ve been working on it LONG ENOUGH. This will happen in 2008.
9. Heading out on a road trip. I love traveling to new places and seeing new things. Always exciting.
10. Visiting family - my nearest family is about 6 hours a way (depending on how heavy your foot is on the gas pedal). I won’t mention my best time.
11. Going on a ride along with my brother the cop. That would be fun.
12. Visiting Ireland. I love all things Ireland and visited there when I was a child. I want to go back someday.
13. Enjoying some laughs and giggles and hugs and kisses from my six kids. A distinct possibility and partially fulfilled already.
