A Few of My Favorite Things

I have some great things I need to write about.  The most exciting is the new mountain bike my greatest hubby got me for Mothers Day.  He surprised me big time.  It was a great day, and I LOVE the mountain bike.  Especially since my knee has been giving me fits.  Do any of you want to take a ride sometime?  I definitely need some partners.  Blake and I have gone once and we had a great time together.  I think he thinks I a bit whimpy because coming down the hills scares me to death.  I had to get off and walk my bike.  It was fun just to spend some time together doing something we both like to do.  Another really great thing that I have loved this month is the website audible.com.  A friend told me about this site and has been urging me to give it a try.  I downloaded the most awesome book called The Hunger Games.  I highly recommend this book.  I am so glad I downloaded it because my son can also listen to it while he mows lawns this summer.  So go download a book.  It will get you through yard work, housework, taxi driving, soccer games, and lacrosse.  It's great!  Ethan tells me I look really hip with earphones in all day.  I told him that just maybe I was really listening to the newest songs just as they hit I-tunes.  He rolls his eyes....  Lastly, a great buy.  Who can give this up?  I love these new capris that I bought at Walmart.  They were 8.00.  They are so comfy.  I love them.  So there you have it.  Some great things you may enjoy!  Let me know about the mountain biking!!  

I'm Gorgeous Inside

I had to take a picture of this.  I was carpooling and my son saw this house with the sign that reads, "I'm Gorgeous Inside".  He was laughing at the proclaimed statement because it is clearly a dive.  But it got my wheels turning.  Do I ever claim to be gorgeous on the inside, when really I am not?   Outwardly speaking, I always feel like I am much more gorgeous on the inside.  My knees hurt, my face is wrinkly, but I still feel my same old self on the inside.  Spiritually though, I wonder if I convince myself that I am gorgeous on the inside, in yet do nothing to keep it up.  Will the Lord laugh just as my son did, and say clearly you are a dive?  I sure hope not!
