Several of my friends have done the little memoir and I've been thinking for a few weeks about what mine would be. Truly, the title of my blog might say it all -- variety is the spice of life. But since that would be boring, and also not offer any variety, I knew I needed another.
I had a few contenders:
shake it like a Polaroid picture
jump, shake your booty, jump jump
life, laugh, love -- wash, rinse, repeat
you'll never know till you try
always carry your passport...in case...
why do today? why not postpone?
Stay tuned for the next post when I unveil the winner. I'd post it now, but I'm looking for a picture. :)

7 Things
Dara tagged me for a "7 Random Things" post. Since I have posted numerous random things about me in the past, and in the spirit of another ode, I submit to you "7 Random Things About Mark."
1. "Conjuncture" is one of his favorite words. I contend that he means "juncture," but he refuses to yield to my verbal prowess.
2. One word: lefty!
3. He believes expiration dates to be an economic stimulus conspiracy. This could, in all fairness, be true. But I, for one, am happy to spend an additional $4.59 for Benedryl that is in-date.
4. He feeds and waters the deer in the greenbelt, and has taught me to do the same. Unfortunately, I have grown to love these deer as pets. He warns me against naming them anything more than "Venison 1", "Venison 2", and so on. (Okay, so that's not true. But wouldn't it be funny if he did?)
5. He detests paisley. I don't think he's realized yet that the shower curtain he picked out for our guest bath actually has a slight paisley print.
6. For being the avid hunter/fisherman that he is, he actually doesn't like going to Bass Pro.
7. And, last but not least, he has one of the biggest servant hearts around.

Sisters, Sisters....
Well, well, well....my how time flies!
I had a friendly request from my sister-in-law for a blog update. Since it's Mother's Day today -- and I mailed her card late -- and her birthday is Tuesday -- and I haven't sent a card -- I decided to oblige. Arwen, this blog's for you!
I have to tell you, marrying into a great family isn't a guarantee. But God has granted me blessings beyond measure in my new circle of family. One of those blessings is Arwen. If you don't know her, you should. She is so sweet, but has a touch of sass to her, which is endearing to me. She is smart. She can multitask. She is raising two of my favorite cuties (Reedo and Cass) with grace and laughter. And she loves the Lord in a genuine way. There are plenty of other great things about her, and plenty of great things I've yet to learn about her.
So, in conclusion....I'm
Anticipating a
Reunion
With my
Extra-special sister-
N-law, ARWEN!
Oh, and...
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday (a little early), Dear Arwen!
Happy Birthday to you!
And many more....
