grit and glory

Let me tell ya, when you get to CA, it’s beautiful here.

I haven’t stopped praying Alece!!

God is going to give you your manna and more.

Yeah, people may not understand because of their own blinders but in reality alot of us want to give more and don’t know how too. So you going out is tiresome at times but the rewards will be eternal.

~ the great thing is you figured that out already :)

Hmph.

Um yeah…I got that like 10 times from my own family and Dans. seriously. They really, really don’t get it. AT ALL. I am just say’n. Yup…I am praying for you too…and that you are able to receive all the love and goodness from all the places you are able to lay your head. For comfy beds and pillows too.

as we say in the south - bless your little hearts!

Oh Geeze!

Im the kind that sticks out a foot and “accidentally” watches them go down!

It was an accident! I’m so sorry!

Forgive me.

that wasn’t very christianly of me.

i wouldn’t lie. i would confess to tripping them.

carry on….

:) yeah… sometimes. sometimes, it’s just too much of a pain to try to explain it to someone i know won’t get it. do you ever do that? just give up trying? it doesn’t happen often, but occasionally… hm.

some of us do get it and are praying for you. enjoy the rest of your vacation ;)

and these new icons in place of the pictures??? how come mine looks like it’s about to hurl!? hmpfh. ;)

We’ve gotten this same type of response as well. Though as you know Kev, who doesn’t have a shy bone in his body, is very quick to say….”This is far from a vacation!” :) While we done travel as extensively as you do I too hate living out of a bag and packing and repacking and it’s a whole new ballgame when you have kids! I always tell Jana she’s my hero! :)

So what i really wanna know is the conversation that took place AFTER she left the table…..did you and Niel just bust out laughing……I think I would have! :)

Oh dear. Honestly? That even sounds like a vacation?

shame… SHAME!!

I’m looking forward to you being able to “plop” with me for awhile…

Your answer to the where have you been and where are you going question sounded like an Animaniacs song. :-)

It’s ok for you to say that it’s ok; but as a friend hearing that about my friend I can say that it is not ok. You handled it very well my dear. I am proud of you!

and I am with roo about these icons. :-/ Is it a WordPress thing? Or an option you select? They all look grumpy, sick, rabid, or insane - weird.

the nerve! hmph is exactly right, becca!

it’s a new wordpress option. would y’all prefer “monsters”? (it remembers you and you will always have the same picture… for those who don’t have wordpress account with their own picture)

all — thanks for “hmph”ing and understanding along with me…

(did you just write y’all?)
I like mine. It looks funny.

oh wait. That is not what I had at first. This one is stranger I think.

GASP!!!!!!!!!!

she DID just write Y’ALL!!!!!!!!

the universe might implode now!
is the sky falling?
is the world coming to an end?
have y’all been raptured already and i don’t know it?

its gotta be the end of everything.
oh no……………..

anybody out there?

that was for you, mandarin orange.

and don’t worry — no rapture yet.

i think these monster icons are worse than the others. i’m switching back.

they are worse. and i have the Gravatar thingy selected. and now there’s this blue G by people’s names.
ugh……

oh! and thank you for that. you can say Y’ALL all you want to!!! :)

thanks for giving this yankee some southern permission.

we’re gonna work on your accent - you know. so get ready!

Alece! You are turning Southern..its okay, I have too with going to Texas..this yankee has turned a little southern too…it was great I was there for 5 days and had already picked it up…hahaha
and hmmphh i wish people understood…why you were in the states etc…

My vote is to select “mystery man” or “blank” - I know it is a bit more boring; but it is also a bit more professional.

It even overrode the picture on the two-cents list… hm

I think I have found a solution to my O.C.D.ish profile picture issue. :-)

Do whatever your heart desires about the non-wordpresser peoples avatars. :-)

I’m so glad God is God and not me, because I would not have the patience to deal with some people. But you did good. So. Good job being like Him. :) And may your hectic whirlwind of a trip be blessed and profitable.

work on my accent? i think i’m in a quarter-life-accent-crisis. my new york taWk is coming back slowly but surely being back in the usa.

i got to see an old friend last night. his name is shawn, and with him from west virginia and me from new york, he’s always enjoyed the fact that i’m the only one who pronounces the “w” that appears in his name. he has definitely always been shaWn to me.

(and gigi — great job on fixing your picture!)

Word to Mandy.. just so you know, i think you are awesome.
“Bless their hearts” was the exact same words i thought of when i read that.

oh and Alece, im so excited you said yall. and you can spell it right too. “Y’all”.. so many of us texan folk when tryin to be so so-fist-tic-kaded will spell it ya’ll and well, that just dont make no since if you ask me.
you-all the shortened version becomes y’all.
plain and simple
yall can be 1 person or more. all yall can be 2-3 or more people. i guess dependin on who you are.

Hannah: YOU are awesome - plain and simple! :)

that all sounds vaguely familiar…

but i never knew about the apostrophe.

Hmm…I don’t like my little “triangle man”…he looks weird. ha!

mandy- we should be friends.
