huskies game

Hey everyone, here’s a basketball report.
A little background first. I like the Washington huskies basketball and the football teams, so here is the score UW 123. . SEATTLE U 76… it was amazing. UW had 61 first half and 62 the second, that is all for now.

Gusper is walking at 11 months

you must see

Jare is up to Bat now

Hiya all, this is Lib here giving a short announcement. I shall be leaving Blogger for a while - I'm not sure how long it will be (could be two weeks or 2 months). But anyway, Jare has wanted to post more but hates it when his post is the second of the day - so it's Jare's turn, up to bat... (I will have email in the middle of the week - contact info is on the left sidebar if you need it)

Later!

-Libby

A smile for the day

It happened when I hear my Grandfather sing "I'm my own Grandpa" while cleaning his teeth.

Joshua Harris is Eaten by a Beanbag ... Truth

One word: Whoa.

Ahhgg! My house is swallowing up my stuff!

Aye, my house is swallowing my stuff up. It’s like when the dog eats dad’s slippers – only this horror house doesn’t leave behind the trail of tuffs of cotton, thread, and fabric around the hallways – this house just gulps it down without leaving a single trace. And I don’t know what sort of “exchanged” it would be willing to make for me to get back my music binder (with like 3 sheets of music - but I still need it!) My library book that I still haven’t been able to finish (seeing as I can’t find it) and my right foot work boot (which I really need, as we are starting to build and I would like to have boots that nails won’t go through (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to pull nails out of my feet – it’s seriously horrid).

But I don’t know – are any other houses “gulping” down possessions? – Or it is it just my gosh'n'golly house?

*bother*

-Libby

PS
To you, my peeps, that I know in real life, if you find any of this stuff (my boot mostly) tell me if I left it at your house - I can't remember the last time I wore it... ={ (< my lippy-face)

Kei's Pictures - so powerful

Keilah (our older sister) took pictures and posted them at her site of our tromp around our State Capital.

Please take a look at them HERE to see.

LOOK! It's Bambi and Thumper!

(My Mumu forwared this to me and I had to share)



So cute...and it makes me want to watch the movies again!

Something Jare and I stand on two feet For - we March for LIFE today

If I were to bring a grain of sand
for every life lost through Legal Abortion in the United States,
I would have to bring 4 wheelbarrows just to carry
the 695 pounds of it – And that’s just Too Much.

This is serious friends, don't turn your head away from them (it's easy to, I should know) - they need us, because not many can hear their silent cries of pain and anguish.

Its Real.

Joke for the day

(because we like blonde jokes)

A blonde ordered a pizza and the clerk asked if he should cut it in 6 or 12 pieces.

"Oh, only six I think - I'd never manage to eat all 12 pieces."

Sillyness

Don't ask me why I'm feeling this way - just am! Maybe it's the charcoal on my face (in the lines like a football player-I didn’t do the black eye one =p) or the fact that I have welts and bruises all over my body (mainly my face though - funny think that there's a rule about NOT hitting faces!!!) or the wet, earthy smell and my left ear twice the size it should be, or that every time I hear a loud, rabid sound - I duck. But what’s the explanation for all of this ridiculous bliss?

An AirSoft war.

Aye yes - all is good with BBs and war... or something like that. =P
Now I think I’ll go change… and maybe a shower wouldn’t do me any more harm.

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

PS

Happy Birthday Will! I hope you enjoyed your party.

Have you ever Wondered...

...Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? (hehehe)

Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?

Why is it that lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? (*snorts* I found this one - sorry, had to post it!)

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

Edit: Watch this clip from the movie, The Widow's Might. Really funny and its with the same thyme as this post.
