if I were you, I'd updated my blog roll to list this blog as http://greenonthursdays.blogspot.com.

'cuz after tomorrow, The Fab & The Funk will no longer exist.

birthdaze

I'm just in a daze

Because of September birthdays,

So many people were born,

Without whom my life would be torn.

So we took a trip to the city,

Driving through the nitty-gritty,

And there we celebrated with a rooftop meal,

As that was part of the birthday girls' deal.

Then we explored the town,

By walking round & round.

We missed the cupcakes

But not the Starbucks!

PS--Escalators are cool.

Unclaimed and Unconventional

This has to be the awesomest store ever.

They claim to have a stock of "lost treasures from around the world."

If that had been around when Indiana Jones lived, he never would have had to run from a giant rolling stone!

hand of God

Today, I get to be a hand of God.


As Proverbs states, "Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a faithful messenger to those who send him."


As Corinthians proclaims, "But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body....Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."

Today, I get to deliver math textbooks to one of my church's missionary families.

While that may not seem like a particularly noteworthy task, let me recount the divinely orchestrated details.

1) Our church's missionaries in Mexico expressed a need for math textbooks to a church member, who also "happens" to be my coworker.
2) The family mentioned that some of them would "happen" to be in Missouri for an event hosted by my organization.
3) The church member/coworker knew that I also "happened" to be attending this event and asked if I could transport materials if we found them. Of course I said yes.
4) Our church "happened" to have the textbooks and donated 4 years worth of math textbooks--a $500+ worth value.
5) The books were delivered to me. I packed them in my suitcase (and another coworker graciously donated part of his suitcase space also!).
6) Today, I'm delivering the books to our missionary family!

Do you see God's astounding attention to detail??

Now excuse me as I fulfill my duty as a hand...

well. here's a thought.

So I'm thinking of changing the blog name.

The original conception behind the current name hasn't revealed itself. In fact, the original idea seems so "not-me" that I'm refusing to share it!

So, new name, new concept, new motivation to continue blogging.

Now, to figure out where to go from here...

Thoughts?

chop chop!

Last week, I went for a haircut.

I searched for a stylist who could cut curly hair.

I debated, I pondered, and I finally picked one. 

And I am happy. Which is a big deal, because historically, I feel great the day of a haircut and awfully frustrated the next day.

Without further ado:: 

Before

After:

Not much length removed, but layers added and bangs helped.

And even better, the day after: 

Now the real test: can I survive a whole week of an event while staying a curly??
