Kind of Gross But Really Interesting!

So could this guy really have grown a little tree in his lung?

A Water Tip

I have a little water tip for WFMW! I saw this in a magazine a while ago. They said to place nail polish on your shower dial (you know, where you turn it on and find the temp?) on the place you always land. This is so that you can go straight to the temp you want so you don't waste water. Well, we have 2 kids who can now be left in the shower in the shower but we have issues getting them going. The oldest does pretty well but has a tendancy to get the water too warm and we are afraid his is going to burn himself. The NerdPie doesn't like to get her face in the water to get to the dial. If we could have her set it right before she gets in she would get a warm shower. This helps the kids to know how warm they want the water but they won't burn themselves.

Save water, prevents burns and gives parents a little more freedom. What more do you want from a tip?

$100 Million Dollars

I found this really interesting (and true). My friend Nick posted it over at Facebook and I thought it was something all could be intrigued by!

A Little Churchill Fun

Who says you can't have fun with history?

A few plans for the rest of the week: Women's Ministry meeting and the kids' Choir concert.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...see the little red spot? That is where they went in to look at my veins. Not bad, eh?
Go read some more Women's Daybooks!

Linky Love

Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer has a great open letter to designers of clothing for women. It is so true and so funny!!!

A Little Liquid Oxygen Goes A Long Way

Cool eh? I got this over at the Ig Nobels.

Quip;)

NerdDad was saying that someone had an article called, "Why does the Devil take Visa". My response? Because it takes longer for plastic to melt than for paper to burn. There is my witty retort for the day;).

The Pope on Judas

I found this awesome quote from Pope Benedict XVI on Judas over at the Anchoress. I feel it is very true and poignant.
“Judas is neither a master of evil nor the figure of a demoniacal power of darkness but rather a sycophant who bows down before the anonymous power of changing moods and current fashion. But it is precisely this anonymous power that crucified Jesus, for it was anonymous voices that cried, ‘Away with Him! Crucify him!’”
— Pope Benedict XVI,

Taylor the Latte Boy

This is so cute! I am surprised that this doesn't happen more with us Caffeine Addicts;). I found out about it from my friend Carrie!

For Today (4/6/9)...

I decided to get in on the fun over at The Simple Woman's Daybook. So here I go!

From the learning rooms...I need to request books for my little readers.
From the kitchen... Bacon for freezing, roast for dinner
I am wearing... capris and a t-shirt
I am going... possibly to Stanford (if they can ever call me back) for an appointment

I am hearing... NerdPie giggling in the kitchen while Nerdling and NerdPud bicker as only 3 and 1 year olds can.

So what do you think?

Great Song, Great Artist, Great Message

Need I say more?

National Atheist Day

Today is National Atheist Day. How fitting that it would be the same day as April Fools day.

"the fool says in his heart there is no God." Psalm 14:1

Yes, that is my inflammatory statement of the day;).
