Clint and I are playing Quiddler right now and he is totally cheating. He went to some sort of Scrabble website to look up words that begin with "qu," and came up with "query." Cheater! Oh, it's my turn now...be right back...
Haha! I love karma! On the last round, I won the game by nine points because I pulled out a word that normally would have never occurred to me. Which word, you ask? Query! Yeah baby, that's what I'm talking about! Cheaters never prosper. Well, unless they're poiliticians. Or just regular Joe-Schmoes that get away with it. Now that I think about it, that's a stupid expression.
This week has been a great week, although for the life of me I can't think of what I did. I know we went to Dan's and Felisa's for small group on Monday, which was fun, as always. The discussions in our group are getting deeper and deeper every time we meet, and I love that. I love it that I have a group of grown-ups who I can delve into difficult topics with and bounce ideas from. But it's not all just "heavy" stuff; we laugh a lot too. Especially when the women start throwing their men under the bus about their bad driving and such...poor guys. You know if they tried to turn around and do the same thing to us, we'd have them by their cajones by the time they got home. Ahhh, love...such a double standard.
Today we went with Mike and Amanda to see Eclipse. Since social networking sites are bombarded with excited quibbling about the latest Twilight installment, I won't torture anyone with a long-winded review of the movie. But I will say that it followed the book closely, and I really enjoyed it.
We have set a camping date with Matt and Alana! We're going to Lake Gregory the 20th-22nd. My sister is going to crack up when she reads this, since she lives there. We were originally planning to camp somewhere further away, but every place we could think of was already booked. Since it is so beautiful up in the mountains, we decided that camping there for a couple of days would still be a great break from the desert. I am really going to have to resist the temptation of sneaking in my sis's house though to steal a quick shower or an extra pillow. Who exactly said that roughin' it has to be rough? ;-)
One final thing: I did NOT make up today's blog title. I asked Clint what I should title this entry, and that's what he came up with. I didn't get the whole "people eaters" part of it, but he said it's because we watched a movie about vampires today. I think that's a HUGE stretch, but we're in a hurry to start "movie night," so I'll change it later.

Niecy, one time, in order to get out of doing something that I really didn't want to do, I told a little white lie. I said that my grandparents were going to be visiting me on "said" weekend on their way home from Vegas to Camarillo. Made the WHOLE thing up. Well, a couple of days later, I got a phone call from my grandma. Her and my grandpa had decided to go to Vegas, and were wondering if they could visit me on their way home, on the same exact weekend that I had lied about. This is probably the third time that one of my little white lies have come true (but this one was the most detailed), so now I'm VERY careful about what I say. I don't know how I feel about the whole concept of "karma," but I do believe in a God with a sense of humor when it comes to making His point known. ;-) I'd love to hear your karma story some time.
ReplyDeleteWow. At least you had the presence of mind to connect the two experiences together and learn from them. A lot of people would have felt like a victim in the midst of their hurt, never considering that they had once hurt someone in a similar fashion. I have to say that I do buy into the whole "what goes around comes around" philosophy, but I don't believe that there is an actual force out there causing this cycle. I just think that it's human nature; those who disregard others are more likely to be treated in a similar way.
