FOOD!
Some of you know the Fisher family, others may not. If you're feeling hungry for Fazoli's this weekend, please help out this family. Jocy has been through so much besides the leukemia and her mom has been living in Ann Arbor to be with her. Her father goes up daily and the rest of the family goes up regularly. There is also an account at Monrore Bank & Trust in the Fisher name if you would like to contribute to their expenses. Please pass this on.
Thanks!

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark
One : Don't miss the boat.
Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three : Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four : Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five : Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six : Build your future on high ground.
Seven : For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight : Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were onboard with the cheetahs.
Nine : When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven : No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...

May 19th & 20th
I can't wait for this event! It has been one of my favorite days for the past two years. I encourage all of you to at least stop by during the day and once at night at the stadium.
There are always a lot of games and events going on during the day, then at night they light the memorial bags around the track... It is amazing to see!
If you would like to give a donation, I am collecting ether contact me by leaving a comment or when you see me in person.

Earth-Like Planet Found Outside Solar System
By Guy GugliottaWashington Post Staff WriterThursday, January 26, 2006; Page A04
Scientists using a technique derived from Albert Einstein's theories said yesterday they have detected the most Earth-like planet ever discovered outside the solar system -- an icy, rocky world 5 1/2 times the size of Earth orbiting a star 28,000 light-years away.
The new planet, given the identifier OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, was discovered last summer by teams of researchers using telescopes throughout the world. The scientists said the discovery suggested Earth-size planets are quite common in the universe.

Emerson- Self Reliance
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
This is why I don't drink pop...
WATER
#1. 75% of people are chronically dehydrated.
#2. In 37% of people, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of dieters
#5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?
COKE
#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.
#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
#8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.
#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? or Coke?

update!
Last night was the cheer banquet. It's officially over. I'm a coach!!! I am hyped to coach this next May! I can't wait...
24 last night was up to par as usual. "Rattle my saber!" I was saddened by the lack of Pierce this past show. But he'll be back again!
My birthday was this past Sunday. The big 1-8! woohoo! Thanks for making it a good one everybody.
Things I have learned since I turned 18:
1. Lottery tickets are your friend, especially Cash Word.
2. You can never have too many shoes. (This is nothing new to me, just want to emphasize it.)
3. You can never take too many pictures. Whether they are complete randomness or not.
4. It doesn't matter if you are truly good at pool or not, there is always the scratch on the 8-ball for the win.
Enjoy my randomness below...

Man tries to cash $50K check from God
HOBART, Ind. -- Kevin Russell found out it's not easy trying to cash a check from God. The 21-year-old man was arrested Monday after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank in Hobart that was signed "King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant," Hobart police Detective Jeff White said.

school+practice+work=lack of updation
Life has been busy!
*side note* Does anyone know why the list on the side of my blog, to the right, has moved to the bottom of my page? Weird...
Cheerleading Regional are this Saturday, I think we have a chance to make it to States as long as we don't let things get to our heads. Practices lately have been blah! ...Not hard just blah...
Don't watch Little Miss Sunshine! It got good reviews, but the movie was just strange. There was a ton of cursing and it was just bad... I must admit, it had a good overall storyline, but it was just portrayed poorly. The last ten minutes was the best part, one of the only good parts.
A good movie is Take the Lead! It's about dancing... but it is really good! It will make you want to dance afterwards trust me on this one!

skating!
I love kids... especially when they can skate circles around you. No joke, I was showed up by a five year old at Tamo on Saturday. I'm okay with that. Really. Ice skating was a blast! Someday I will master skating backwards... I'm improving, it can happen.
Follow up ice skating with a little taco bell, jump on it, red robbin, and anchor man... it was a good day!

life, liberty, due process...
These past two days with no school have been great! Sleeping in, relaxing... I love it! Tomorrow we already have a two hour delay because it is the first Wednesday of the month and we always have a delay. Muy Bien!
The Superbowl commercials were lacking this year. The only few that I really enjoyed we at the very beginning of the game. The Mouse clicking and Beard-Comb Over. Where were the Pepsi commercials? The Snicker commercial stirred up some controversy with gay rights that has been talking over the morning talk shows. (no school = morning talk show viewing) Hmmm, we'll have to wait and see how it plays itself out.
What was your favorite commercial?

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.
The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Happy February!
I can't believe how fast this school year has gone by.
We are in second semester (...half way done! scary)
Cheerleading is only for one more month. (States?)
Pluto is not a planet. (who knew?)
And it's snowing outside. (just wanted to throw that out there)
Life has been good. Busy. But good. Lately I've been debating if I would like to play soccer this year. I've played since I was a freshman and it was always my relaxing sport that I would use to keep in shape for the next cheerleading season. Practice and games have always been fun to me, but a lot of drama has always followed the soccer team. We have a new coach this year that I have worked with before as an assistant coach in the past and I think the team has a great possibility of doing well. But do I want to be on the field or just watching in the stands? Taylor has mentioned letting me play on his team when he starts that up again, or maybe I could even play on an indoor team. I know it is my senior year and I won’t get the opportunity to play anymore unless I get on an intramural team and I think I may want to focus more on cheerleading with the possibility of trying out for a college team.
Ashley and I have been having this discussion lately. We both are cheerleaders and soccer players, with cheerleading is our dominate sport. If we didn't play soccer this upcoming season we were going to make out a workout schedule to do together that would include things to improve our tumbling and stunting for hopefully future tryouts. I'm not sure this all is a little new to me. But a break from practices and everything would be great in the beginning, but would I get bored with it?
Hmm...we'll see what happens...

Happy Groundhog Day!
Phil Says Spring is Right Around the Corner!Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/07 at 7:28 a.m. at Gobbler's Knob:
El Nino has caused high winds, heavy snow, ice and freezing temperatures in the west.Here in the East with much mild winter weather we have been blessed.
Global warming has caused a great debate.This mild winter makes it seem just great.
On this Groundhog Day we think of one thing.Will we have winter or will we have spring?
On Gobbler's Knob I see no shadow today.I predict that early spring is on the way.
Hmm... early Spring eh? As the forecast for this weekend is in the single digits and it's snowing outside at the moment.... BRING ON SPRING!!!

just a thought
"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. "

You know you are living in 2007 when...
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own drive way and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

Puppy Sitting!!!
Since this past Wednesday my family has been watching these two puppies! The white one on top, Chloe, is 6-weeks-old. Abby, the brown one, is eight-weeks-old. Cody wasn't too happy to start off with in the first few days, but he soon made friends with them and would chase them around the house playing. (Cody is my dog, see pictures in my other posts of him)
Last Saturday...
We held our first home competition. Thanks for coming out everyone, it was a-w-e-s-o-m-e (Yes, I said it... lol) to have all the support from our friends! It was a little disappointing that we didn't do as well as we would have liked, but we did get second.

...20-pound cat...
Tubby tabby who tried to plunder food reunited with his owner
(1/11/07 - PORTLAND, OR) -
Here, KITTY KITTY KITTY. Goliath, a 20-pound stray whose girth got him stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food, is back with his owner.
His name isn't really Goliath, but it's close. It's Hercules, says owner Geoff Ernest, who was reunited with his tubby tabby Thursday at the Oregon Humane Society.
Gresham resident Jadwiga Drozdek found the feline stuck in the dog door of her home a few days ago, helped free him and gave him a plate of food on her patio.
Ernest said he had a house-sitter when he went to Seattle for a lung transplant six months ago, and Hercules departed.
While at the Humane Society, Hercules was diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, similar to HIV in humans.
The society says cats can live years with the virus and still make good pets, but owners should keep them indoors to keep it from spreading.
Veterinarians say about 40 percent of America's cats are obese, putting them at risk for a variety of diabetes-related disorders.
Hercules, meanwhile, has had his 15 minutes of fame, piling up stacks of hits on You Tube and other Web sites.

Cody hearts clothes
No joke! We get his shirt out and he comes running over to it and shoves his head through the hole. He loves clothes! It must be because when he was a puppy we would put bows in his hair...hmmm could be. And yes he is a boy dog.

snow?!?
I was shocked to wake up to a snow delay this morning. Where was this sudden snowfall on Christmas morning? I'm not complaining... I'll take an extra 2 hours of sleep anyday!
cute story
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a nearby mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that moved apart and back together again by themselves.
The lad asked, "What is this, father?" The father (having never seen an elevator) responded, "I have no idea what it is." While the boy and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room.
The walls closed and the boy and his father watched as small circles lit up above the walls. The walls opened up again and a beautiful twenty-four-year-old woman stepped out. The father looked at his son anxiously and said, "Go get your mother."

I received the People's Choice Award. How it was selected, was that each contestant had decorated a coffee can where the audience was suppose to drop change/dollar bills into their favorite contestant's coffee can. And then contestant with the most money, won. The money collected went to the People's Choice Award Winner's charity, that they had selected prior to the competition. We ended up raising over $1,000! All of the money is going to Pastor Al's mission trip. (see: Mellinger Missions in my links)
