Please pray for my mom today. She is having surgery at 9:15am Central Time. I’m a little worried since I can’t be there, but I spoke with her last night. Her name’s Beverly. Thanks!!

We arrived, no problems here this morning. It’s been fun trying to catch our bodies up to the time zone but I think we’re doing ok. After taking a short nap, we ate dinner and went over to Princes Street & got some UK currency, and went to a great, 2nd-floor Starbucks overlooking the castle area. I gotta say it beats the view from the Rockwall Starbucks.

Not a lot of time to write now, but we’ll post a video Wednesday on our first day here!

Today, I popped into my site stats to see what’s been happening lately. In December 2005, when FlowerDust.net was officially published, the site had about 130 daily visitors. Last month, the site averaged 437 daily drop-bys and almost 24,000 pageviews. So, if you’re new here, thanks for coming by!

According to my WordPress dashboard, there are almost 2000 comments. Maybe the 2000th commenter will get a special prize? From Scotland? I think that sounds fair. So, here is the one rule to win the 2000th commenter prize: No duplicate commenters. Post yours and be done. We’ll see where lady luck falls. And I promise the prize won’t be haggis!

Another random thing I was looking at was “referring keyphrases” – or what people type into search engines like Google and Yahoo, and for some reason or another, they ended up on FlowerDust.net. I decided to pull out the ten most random things people typed in and landed here. Most of these make no sense whatsoever, but that’s what happens when robots are running the internet.

1. telling the wife i wear pantyhose
2. big misquitos of Kansas
3. warning signs of a lying deceitful internet lover
4. poetry about cardboard
5. sexy 50-something year old women
6. how to roast chestnuts – martha stewart
7. how do i blow out my gallbladder
8. i look like ricki lake
9. SMU girls too skinny
10. blogging poems for grandmas

Have you ever checked out your stats to see how people have found your site?

PMS sucks.

But not as bad as IBS. At least, that’s what Los tells me.

Honestly, I’ve been getting kinda worn out on blogging. Maybe it’s just a phase in my life, because I’ve been busy juggling work, 3 freelance projects and preparing for Scotland, all whilst trying to be a wife.

In today’s culture, there are so many trends that come and go…I wonder if blogging is just one of them.

What do you think?

Blogging:
–Here to stay or…
–Will eventually fall off the radar?

Have a nice weekend.

Someone stole my glasses at Mario Tricoci when I was getting my hair done last November. I’ve yet to purchase another pair, but the time has arrived.

These are the two frames I narrowed it down to – which one do you like best? I know they both look too big for my head, but that’s just the camera phone warping my face. Please also pardon the cross-eyed look in photo #1…

Glasses #1

or

Glasses #2

I’ll probably get them on Saturday!

Thanks for your assistance…

Has anyone ever told you that you look like someone famous? The first time it happened to me, I was in a Barnes & Noble & someone said I looked like Elisabeth Shue. A couple years later, some ladies I worked with said I resembled Melissa Joan Hart. No complaints on either, as both of them are quite pretty.

Last weekend, our teaching pastor at church taught a message called “Spitting Image” and talked about a website, MyHeritage.com. On MyHeritage.com, you can upload a picture of yourself and it scans it for facial feature and gives you a few celebrities who share similar traits. I decided to go and try it for myself. Here are a few people I ended up with after submitting two photos.

Anne Hathaway

Madeleine Stowe

Vivien Leigh

Now, not only does this software match you with your gender, but it also pulls similarities from the other gender as well…I found the following matches a little disturbing:

Larry King

Eddie Murphy

Steven Soderbergh

Wow.

You should try it. It’s super quick, totally free & completely hilarious! I’d love to hear who you end up looking like. Just go to MyHeritage.com and follow the instructions!

Cheers!

Chicken little?

Hmmm. Maybe not.

My friend Shane sent me this photo from his phone at lunch today. If you can’t tell, it’s a chicken sandwich. And I must say, one of the biggest chicken sandwiches I’ve ever seen. It was so absurdly large, I felt the need to post a photo for you to see. And enjoy. And maybe even throw up a little bit.
