I first read this prayer years ago but it has since become a favorite. š
Dear God,
So far today, I’ve done all right! I haven’t gossiped, I haven’t lost my temper,
I haven’t cheated, I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or
overindulgent. I am thankful for that. But, in a few minutes Lord, I’m going to
get out of bed…and from then on, I’m probably going to need a lot more help!
Amen.
I always wondered how Pansy and Peony of Two Sleepy Mommies blog got their Hobbit names and today I finally found out. Not only that, I’m happy to see that I am of Hobbit heritage myself! My full hobbit name is Rosie Sackville-Baggins, my husband is Todo Sackville- Baggins and our daughter is Belladonna. Too cool!
Well, my Belladonna wants lunch so I better go! Have a beautiful day! Love, b. (AKA. Rosie!)
My sister Elena in Washington DC sent me this email. I had a good laugh! Hope you do to!

Hey guys, I only have a few minutes so I’ll keep this short: the Friday Five.
1. What was the last TV show you watched? Last night I watched an old X Files.
2. What was the last thing you complained about and what was the problem? I complained to myself, “What the heck am I doing on the computer?! I have to get the house ready for Jen and the kids coming over this afternoon!” But Bella was sleeping, prayers were said, and emails were beckoning so I did this.
3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say? Last night before going to bed I kissed Brian and told him just how wonderful he is and how much I love him.
4. What was the last thing you threw away? (Bella just woke up; gotta cut this short.) Bella’s dirty diaper. How can something so small and cute make such a big mess??? One of the wonders of the world.
5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited? Amazon, I ordered some books that I’ll tell you about later! Have a great day!
Love,

Welcome! Although Brian and I have our website Revolution of Love.com, we started this blog to have a little outlet where we could post about the smaller everyday happenings of life and our “just for fun” posts. I will probably be the one here the most since out of the two of us, I have the most trivial things to say. š
I’ll start things off by participating in my first edition of the famous Friday Five. Yay!
1. What was the first band you saw in concert? Let’s see, years back it was a big Rock for Life concert in Orange County, CA. I think that first really got me into Christian alternative/hardcore music. But one of the first concerts I most vividly remember was when I drove to Santa Barbara, CA with my sister BC to see the hardcore band Focused. Oh, those guys were so awesome and so in love with God. They were the first band I ever interviewed (for the underground music zine I used to do.) Ah, such memories!
2. Who is your favorite artist/band now? Okay, you can tell I am a mommy now because at the moment I am listening to “Wags the Dog” by the Wiggles. (It is Bella’s Wiggle’s hour; that is the only time I am guaranteed some uninterrupted computer time!) But as far as I’m concerned, I have been listening to a lot of Jeremy Camp, Kutless, and Sixpense None the Richer. But I must say that I also loooove 80’s alternative music – The Cure, The Smiths, Morrissey, New Order, Psychedelic Furs, etc. Plus, good old classics like Dean Martin (reminds me of our honeymoon. Sigh.)
3. What’s your favorite song? This is a tough one. The song that always reminds me of Brian is The Cure’s “Lovesong.” I never tire of it.
4. If you could play any instrument, what would it be? Um, I always wished I could play the guitar, write my own music and sing my own songs. I may be able to get away with writing lyrics but the only instrument I can play is the Fisher-Price toddler drum set and my voice it not fit for anyplace other than the car while driving or perhaps in church if the choir sings real loud and drowns me out.
5. If you could meet any musical icon (past or present), who would it be and why? Back in my teen days I may have said someone like Morrissey from the Smiths but now I just see musical “icons” as regular joes and can’t think of one in particular that I’d single out. So I’ll have to think about that one.
Have a great weekend guys! See you Monday. Keep praying.
