Rules to Live By

I was searching through some stuff and I found my rules to live by. I made up the list when I was 19 or so.  Knowing me I probably got the idea from a book or movie. These are 14 rules that I came up with.  

1. Always put the Lord first.

2. Never make a complicated thing simple or a simple thing complicated.

3. Wear white at night.

4. Eat from each of the food groups.

5. Clean even where it doesn't show.

6. Never do anything with the soul intent of hurting someone.

7. Look up words you don't know.

8. Pursue the truth.

9. Wear socks that match your shirt.

10. Never put out electrical fires with water.

11. Always get to the bottom of things.

12. Be consistent.

13. Floss.

14. Forgive. 

Some of them are harder to master than others. Overall I think they are a good bunch of rules. What would you add to the list? What are some of the rules you live by?

Inkheart

I read this book several years ago.  At the time I thought the book was slow moving and I kept thinking just get on with it. I like the premise of the book. I won't spoil it for people who haven't read  it. Then I found out they made it into a movie. Then I saw the trailer. I became interested again. Then we saw the movie last week. WOW! I loved it. It moved along. The actors were fantastic! Really can you go wrong with Helen Mirren in a movie? I have always been a fan of Brenden Fraiser.  Not to mention Paul Bettany! Seriously excellent movie. This has to be a first for me to like a movie better than a book! It has been to long for me to remember the book but I will read it again just to see if it is better the second time around. In the meantime go see this movie!!!

P.S. I think the girl in it looks like Amy Ashby Stolworthy!!

Macaroni and Cheese

Luke decided it was his turn to make dinner and he was going to make macaroni and cheese. And he did! And he did it with zero help!!!! He did everything on his own! It was so good! I didn't know that macaroni and cheese could taste so wonderful!! What a great kid! I know that he will be able to great things in his own way and his own time!

Lizzie Can't Wait Until She's 18!!!!!

Lizzie wants to change her name to Bubbles.  Wade told her she can't officially change her name until she is 18.  Now she can't wait to change her name when she is old enough.  She kept talking to me about it at breakfast.  She also has changed her favorite color to blue. Guess what show Lizzie has been watching!?

Fog

This is fog in Rosevelt in January:

I just love it when everything looks like this! It is serene and lovely and it makes even the ugliest thing look fairy tale like. I won't worry that the fog could stick around for 3 months and make life really depressing. Today it is dipped in ice crystals!

Hannah and Herself...

Is there anything more to say? At least she knows her subject well!
