It's Coming.... :)

I can NOT believe it!

I was thrilled to see this trailer pop up on my MSN entertainment page!!!
Hollywood has finally made an update to a classic movie.  One I remember staying up late to watch with my Dad on T.V.

CAN. NOT. WAIT

I. AM. GOING.
(to the big screen................ full price)    ;)

The movie?

Tron: Legacy

I realize this potentially places me in the "nerd" category. 
I don't care.

Being There

I must confess:  I lifted this title from Marla Taviano's blog.  Am I stopping there?  Nope.  I am in fact lifting this entire post off her blog.  :)
I've never met Marla,  but it is SO evident from her blog that she's a woman striving to follow the Lord in every area of her life.  And she is so real (bonus!)
Anyhoo, I just loved her post Wednesday on "Being There".  
The post comments were also very insightful - like the ones about "being there" for our kids.

Is it easy or hard for you to "be there"? 
It's harder for me.  I tend to get caught up in my to-do lists and miss the forrest for the trees :)  :(

Friday Findings

Seeing or hearing about people worse off than me helps my perspective.  Keeps me focused on how good I have it.
Enjoy the following list of web links...... and Happy Friday :)

* I thought my goal to workout 3 times a week and lose 15 pounds was rough.  I was wrong.  Check out this woman's lofty goal.

*  Being a Transportation Logistics major, this next article caught my eye.  It also makes me feel better about my house.  At least I don't live in one of these. 
But to be fair, it is amazing what they can be turned into.  Check out these boxcar homes, children. 
(Did I mention I enjoyed The Boxcar Children books when younger?  If only Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny had known their home held such potential!) 
And on a serious note, I think containers are a great solution for affordable and safe housing in places like Haiti or U.S. low income communities. 

* I've felt a bit like a recluse lately.  Not a very good and social friend.  I've even dreamed how wonderful it would be to live like Rachel Denton and get away from it all.  Of course, I would miss my husband, children, and friends - so I won't really do it.  Just a happy place I let my mind wander to occasionaly :)

Have a great weekend!
