I'm trying to line my ducks up in a row for the day, and every time I hit "print", I get one line of text on a page, followed by the first page of full text. Would it really be so hard for Google, or the printer company to have a "fit to page" button for these times when it truly wouldn't hurt to shrink things a little bit?
Meat for supper in the crockpot, and there may actually be time to knock out a dessert before gym class...brownies! Yes!...um... no...they take 35 minutes and I only have 30....plan B
a Quilt show, 40 vendors from all over NC (and one or two from SC and VA), which I'm sure will have a gazillion cool things to look at and consider. And I have, um, well, I won't tell you how many quilt projects I currently have going. Wouldn't it make more sense to stay home and use today to actually QUILT instead of tantalizing the senses by browsing?
And snow...I've lost count of how many "snowfalls" we've had this winter. (3-4...does it count if there's only two flurries? If so, then 5. Does it have to stick longer than 2.5 hours? Hmmm....would that be one or two?) and now, one of our busy weekends for the month...it's supposed to SNOW! Crazy.
And, last but not least, recently I was telling Bobby about this kid in my high school who in response to another student hauling his Bible and a soul-winning book around to every class (but seldom having his textbook or homework!), began carrying Satan's Bible. Bobby looked at me like I was crazy and asked what the book was actually called, and I told him: "The Satanic Verses". It amazed me the number of students who were terrified of him after he did that. Bobby started laughing. Evidently "The Satanic Verses", which was released while I was in high school, is actually a book about the Koran. The author had to go into hiding because of the number of death threats he received from Muslims. So all this time this boy was laughing at people running from him and calling him a "devil worshipper" when in reality he was simply reading a new bestseller about the evils of the Islamic religion. Education. There's nothing like it.
And I'm about 1/8 into "In the Land of Believers" (which I got for Christmas). Written by an atheist of Jewish descent, the girl pretends to become a Christian at Thomas Roads Baptist Church (Falwell's church) and it's her account of what evangelicals are truly like. So far she's been nice in the way she has phrased things, honest, and has truly done her homework on what we "fundies" believe. Once I finish I'll give a review. Her deception bothers me to no end, but so far she's not being hateful in her writing style.
And that's my crazy list of random musings for this Friday.
