... And How Do You Feel About That?

Today we found a mood ring hidden in the deep dark crevices of the youngest's school desk. A simple semi-round mood ring with little golden Ichthus symbols etched into the thermochromic liquid crystal... so simple and yet so fun! :-)
So we take turns trying it on...
-For the youngest it turns a yellowish green and the space within the Ichthus symbols turns deep dark purple. We Googled it and found that the yellow means excitement (imaginative, wandering thoughts). The green is relaxation (average, not under great stress). The dark purple however means clarity and confidence in one's purpose... I'm not sure if I should look confused or if it's okay to laugh... :-) So far, this mood ring seemed pretty right on...
-So Mom tries it on. It turns a greenish yellow and the Ichthus turns blue. So-relaxation and wandering thoughts... that fits her today. The blue means relaxation (again) as well as at ease and calm which fits her today as well!
-My turn. It turns a deep dark blue with just the tiniest hint of purple and the Ichthus symbols turned several different colors kind of swirled together; purple, pink, yellow, and a bit of green. The dark blue is happiness, passion, and romance...?!? okay... my average body temperature is slightly lower than the average homo sapien... but so is Mom's... Hm. Well, the purple also means clarity... which I suppose is something I've been getting a little bit of over the last few days... much needed clarity. Pink is fear, uncertainty, and unanswered questions... wait- what happened to the clarity?! Actually pink is somewhat on and I could interpret it as being right, as well as maybe just a little bit of the purple. The tiny bits of yellow and green mean imagination and lack of stress...
Hm... I think I'm going to stick with just knowing myself and what I feel. The second and third times I put the ring on, it gave me completely different colors!
We had a good laugh about it and it was fun to compare said feelings with what we each thought was going on in our own lives. As I sat down to write this post, the youngest looks up from his homework and says, "What does yellow, orangey, brown mean?" Well, that's bronze- "Steven," I say, "You're homework has the jitters!"

Life is Like a Bowling Alley.

There are so many lanes to choose from and nobody really can say that one or another is best. But, you won't have any fun unless you pick one and just start a game... and when it comes down to it... you don't really have a choice anyway; lanes are usually assigned and besides, who really cares which lane they get- it's the people you go with that really matter. Sure, you can have a great game if you're really focused but the less you think the more you laugh and doesn't a smile trump everything else?

Sticker-Me Birthday!

There's a tooth on the desk.
Eew.
My little brother just lost one. I think I found it. That's disgusting, boy.

Though it has been only one month since the last time I blogged it is a whole new year and I'm a whole year older! Thank you to all of my friends who wished me a very happy birthday- it was indeed very happy- I love you all too.
I'd also like to take a moment to thank all of the beautiful little boys and girls who so happily decorated me with stickers on my birthday. As much as I enjoyed it- I do believe that you all enjoyed it more!
Last night I was finally welcomed into the twenty-first century. Why now? because I have finally gotten myself a cell phone. "Jax" is on his happy little way to me in the mail this very moment.
What? Don't you name your electronics too?
My Ipod is "Kevin".
My computer is momentarily nameless... I'm working on that.
My exercise ball is "Bob". I know, that's a little weird... but wait! it get's weirder:
My Ficus Plant is "Mike".
I like Mike. :-)
