Too Sad to Post
I can't help but think of her and smile, she was that good. (through my tears, that is)
I am going to a women's conference tomorrow and she was one of the women who put together the whole thing every year for the last 6 years. Her daughters helped every year too. Her husband sat in Adoration every year during the conference.
Give your kids extra hugs today. That's what I keep thinking. Cherish every moment, we do not know when our last will be. Always be ready. Always be ready. Our souls must always be ready, for it is not here that we were made for.
***UPDATE**** her 2 youngest were with her, they are 7 and 10, they are fine. Shirley slid on ice through a stop sign, onto a highway and was hit by another car (the driver of that car is ok). Shirley was expecting her first grandaughter this month.
Eternal rest grant unto Shirley, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her
May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

Making A List

List the Movies that are really worth the time to watch:
- The Sound of Music
- You've Got Mail
- The Princess Bride
- Star Wars (any of them, for a couple reasons. 1. my son and husband love them and 2. they are a good example of the forces of good and evil...pun intended.
- Shrek
- The Truman Show
- X-Men (any of them)
- 16 Candles
- The Breakfast Club
- Pretty In Pink
- Some Kind of Wonderful
- My Cousin Vinney
- The Butterfly Effect
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- The Parent Trap (Old one and newer one)
- Sabrina (the newer one with Harrison Ford)
- Selena
- Joseph King of Dreams (the children's movie, it explained a lot as did the next one)
- Prince of Egypt
- The Pelican Brief (and a few other John Grisham movies)
- One Fine Day
- The Patriot
- The Passion of Christ
- Braveheart
- The Gladiator
- Bella
- 13 Going on 30
- While You Were Sleeping
- Dan in Real Life
- Jesus of Nazareth
- Titanic (but not for the love story part, for the huge-ness of it, the movie really made it seem more real, as it was hard to imagine it before that)
- Pride and Predjudice (what the heck is BBC? I've only seen the version with Donald Sutherland....about 10 times--didn't know there was another version, that explains all the pictures on other people's blogs...pictures of the characters from the book that I've never seen.....)
- A Few Good Men "You can't handle the truth!" come on, can you actually think of or say that movie outloud without quoting Jack Nicholson? Name me a husband who has not said those words! (many times)
- Indiana Jones movies
- The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio
Wow, that was fun....could think of a ton more. This actually made me think about all those hours. All those hours spent watching, really nothing. It made me think of all those hours watching movies not listed. It made me think about how God knows. He knows how much we've watched. He knows what we've watched. Will He, at the end of my life show me all those wasted hours? Don't you sometimes wish you lived in a time before all our modern conveniences and well, just stuff? Really makes a person think. Gosh, why am I such a thinker like that? It really was fun to list these and I've added some new ones from other lists that I'd like to see. Like "Millions" and "Simon Birch" and "3 Weddings and a Funeral". Will they be worth 2 hours of my time?

A Round Tuit!
Cleaning Out
I like can't get rid of all the prayer cards I have. I keep getting more, I get them at church, retreats, talks, etc.... I love them and I just can't ever decide which ones to keep and which ones to get rid of, so back in the drawer they go.

Epiphany
The kids wanted to know why it was called a "pound cake". I explained because you gain a pound when you eat it.
The kiddos were excited about that...the mama, not so much.

Little White Bump....
She's growing up.
The kids are very excited and asking questions like "Can she eat food now?" and "Will she start talking now?" and mama is responding with "Get those fingers out of her mouth!" and "did you wash your hands?" (of course I answer them, I'm kidding, kind of)
Happy Feast day everyone! Happy New Year!
Holy Mother of God, Pray for us.
