Normally, when we have an update to a post, we just put it in the comments, but since I've entered us in the 30-Day Challenge , here's a separate post to link up. Now before any other "challengees" faint when they see my pictures, I'll remind you that we have guests coming... (More)

30 Day Organizational Challenge

My friends Bonnie and Liz participated in the last Challenge, and quite intimidated me by doing so. But I put OrgJunkie's blog in my reader (one of only three strangers' blogs I read) and have slowly been gaining confidence. The real enouragement I give myself is to note what... (More)

Fairly Mindless Entertainment

This game would be better if it were random, but still kind of fun. I think 17 seconds was my high score on my desktop, and I just it again before posting on my laptop, and I only got to 11 seconds. Perhaps I am just more tired, or else it might be showing the difference between a... (More)

Corneal Abrasion

Sunday morning, after playing outside before church, Jonathan came to me complaining that his eye hurt. It was red and watering, but I could not see any foreign object. It continued to be irritated, so I wondered if it might be pinkeye. The pain would come in waves, hurting... (More)

15 Months

Noah is 30lb 12 oz, 34 1/2" tall. He's getting over a cold, so the doctor could see fluid in both ears, but it's mild and Noah doesn't even care about it. If he slows down enough, his arms move in cross pattern with his walking, but usually he's speed walking or... (More)

Organizing for your Brain Type

Here is a brief review of Organizing for your Brain Type by Lanna Nakone . This is a neat book that gives some explanation about why some people have trouble keeping things organized and why some have trouble understanding those others. She puts people in four different groups,... (More)

Speaking at IVCF

I was recently asked to speak at IVCF at CMU on the topic of Christian view of success and vocation. I am supposed to talk for 15 minutes, which will probably go very fast, so I need to be more concise than I usually would be. Our topic for this Large Group is the Christian view of success...

Spammers

I hadn't checked my log file in a while for my Lime Daley contact page , but happened to check it today. There have been 438 spams sent in the last two months, and 2 legitimate emails. The spam filter (I wrote it - which is probably why it works - that my site isn't big enough for... (More)

Camping and Fishing

We went camping last weekend with some friends from Providence Church and the Venables. We went to a fairly new, no RV, family-run place near Moraine State Park called Breakneck Campground . We arrived early, since we didn't have to wait for Jon to be done with work (yay Lime... (More)

"You must dial a 1 for this call to go through"

I have been having lots of fun (that's the bad kind of fun, not the good kind) configuring Asterisk for my new IT job. It has been a pretty big pain getting it to work correctly with a couple different VOIP providers as well as the landlines. I had a good day today, figuring both how... (More)

Beauty, Makeup, Hair

Reading my sister's post about her adventure as a bridesmaid has reminded me to write about my dear husband. I, like my sister, am not interested in makeup (we do have the same mother!), and am blessed with a husband whose thoughts on makeup are, "But I want to be able to kiss... (More)

Snowballs in June

The Carnegie Science Center has a promotion that if you bring a snowball in on the first day of summer, they give you free admission. Although this was the first year I'd heard of it, everyone else in Pittsburgh knew about it, too. We'd planned on getting there when it opened,... (More)

Noah's Regular Stuff

He is mostly using only one sign now, rather a "universal yes" - it's kind of like the real "yes" but kind of like a wave, and often done with both arms. Do you want to get down? Yes. Do you want milk? Yes. Do you want more granola? Yes. Etc. Did... (More)

All Is Safe In The World Again

I am in the middle of a non-direct red-eye flight from Seattle to Pittsburgh. I was supposed to go to Charlotte, NC on the way, but USAir called(!) last night to tell me to come a half hour early to the airport (I was already there and had already checked in, and having a relaxing dinner... (More)
