Karen, the Official Goof of Journey Inside My Mind, has been blogging for 5 years. It’s funny how you start doing something like this, and before you know it, you’ve reached these milestones: one month, half a year, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and now 5 years!
What is cool about this is that somewhere she has all that history she can check out. In the meantime, she’s got this little video posted:Five
An 80 year old woman was arrested for shoplifting. When she went before the judge he asked her, “What did you steal?”
She replied: “a can of peaches.”
The judge asked her why she had stolen them, and she replied that she was hungry. The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can. She replied 6.
The judge then said, “I will give you 6 days in jail.”
Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment, the woman’s husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something. He said, “What is it?”
The husband said “She also stole a can of peas.”

My baby sister Mandy will be having a baby today, Valentine’s Day 2006. This is her first baby and the Official Mom’s first grandson. So we’re excited.
As of 9:52 AM EST, Mandy had just received an epidural and was dilated to 5 cm, so it will be less than two hours.
Mandy has been miserable these last few weeks, so it will be a welcome relief to finally see her son James.
This is the same sister whom I remember vividly holding when Mom and Paul, my stepfather, brought her home. She was a “bald-headed” baby. I remember teaching her how to crawl, and that she would suck her middle and ring fingers and call me “bro-bro”.
Now she gets to look forward to the same things with her son.
I am just praying for everything to go okay, and that James is healthy. Mandy, too, for that matter.
More to come later.
Yes, that’s right. Karen, the Official Goof of Journey Inside My Mind celebrates her 29th birthday (again) today. w00t!
Go Karen! Go Karen! Go Karen!
Mood: yucky
Listening to: BusinessWeek podcast for 12/21/05, interview with Paige and Gretchen of Mommycast
Reading: Luke 5, Gen 1-2, Ps 1
Eating: Krispy Kreme donuts and vegetable soup – drinking lots and lots of water
Watching: “To Kill A Mockingbird” on TV
The first section of this post is kinda gross – you may want to skip it
THE GROSS PART
Hey everybody. I’m feeling pretty yucky. I’ve caught another cold, which may be evident if you listen to this week’s podcast.
The medicine I’m taking helps thin the mucus, but it also makes me drowsy and thirsty. In addition, this morning I got ready for church, but decided to stay home at the last minute because I’d started throwing up mucus.
Then I changed into bed clothes and went to bed. I’ve spent much of the weekend sleeping and resting.
THE NON-GROSS PART
Prayers go out to IreneQ, the Official Blogger of Introspection, as well as to Paul, the Official Dirt Track Photographer/All-around Missional Redneck Chaplain, of Journey Inside My Mind. Both of them are starting off the new year without jobs. I know of others who are starting off the year looking for gainful employment.
I created a blog for job-seekers in 2002 called Get That Job, which has a lot of information and resources to help, for what it’s worth.

Hey folks! I put a podcast together some time ago, sharing some “Podcasts in My Ears“, but I thought you might be interested in knowing everyone I listen to. So here’s the exhaustive list of podcasts in my subscription list, in alphabetical order:

Karen, the Official Goof of Journey Inside My Mind, believing in “helping others through [her] own experiences”, offers some tips on how to prepare for a colonoscopy:
So many good tips that it’s not worth posting them all here. I like numbers 1, 14, and 15 the best.
Ganns Dean, aka the Official Superblessed Blogger of Journey Inside My Mind, has been holding the Superblessed Christian Blog Awards, since 2003, to honor some of his favorite blogs.
He writes:This year, the Superblessed Christian Blog Awards turns three. Those who’ve been around for the whole journey know I first launched the Christian Blog Awards in January 2003 to honor the God-bloggers who blessed me immensely in 2002. At the time, when it was known as the Mere Madness Christian Blog Awards, it created little buzz but did bless Christ-bloggers who were in my immediate circle of blogs.
This year, all categories stay the same, save for the Favorite Christian Blog 2005, which I am renaming in honor of Bene Diction, God-blogger and first recipient of my Superblessed Hall of Fame Award. In honor of BD’s favorite encouraging phrase, I’ve renamed this category to the Blog On! Superblessed Christian Blog of the Year 2005.
Again, thank you, all our friends (and foes) online for helping make Superblessed what it is today. We’re blessed by you in ways you’ll never know.
Not only is Bene Diction, aka the Official Canuck of Journey Inside My Mind on the list for receiving the Hall of Fame award, but Clarence, aka the Official Hillbilly Prince of Journey Inside My Mind, is nominated for the Most Inspirational/Encouraging Blog award for his blog, “Can You Hear Me Now?“
So big hoo-hahs to these Officials!
