Shows I wish were still on...

I was youtube surfing the other day, and I came across two shows that I loved when I was growing up; Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude. You may not remember these shows, but they came on Nickalodeon when kids wanted to be slimed and wore side ponytails.

Just in case you have no clue what I'm talking about (and for that I am truly sorry) or maybe you do, but need a reminder:





Even though these shows are wonderful, they will never surpass the greatness, of what is probably the best show ever on television: Saved by the Bell. I'm not talking about the lame Saved by the Bell the New Class, but the one with Zach, Kelly, Lisa, Skreech, Mr. Belding, AC, and Jessie. Because of the level of greatness that the TV show possesses there will be an entire blog deticated to it and it alone at a later date. For now enjoy this montage of great TV shows from the 90s. I wish I would have made it, but sadly I do not know how.

Hey bloggers,

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've blogged!! I have been so caught up in the summer starting. I know it's the middle of June, but it's really starting to feel like summer. In honor of summer let's discuss our favorite things about summer. I'm going to give you my list. Please comment your answers!! Remember these are SUMMER not all time.

Favorites:
Summer Movie: Independence Day, 1996, starring Will Smith
Summer Song: I'm still thinking about this one! There are so many!
Summer Activity: Going to the Astros Game
Snowcone Flavor: Dreamiscle (it's like orange cream)

If you think of any other catagories please add them to the comment board.

I'm working on a video blog. I'll try to get one up this week! Y'all are awesome!

Astros Game pics and the Arm Wars

As promised here are the pictures of us and our signs for the Astros game!


I would also like to address my interns newest blog. It involves some hidden camera shots of me. The first one is a clip of me playing Wii baseball. I would like to add that I was AMAZING at Wii baseball. I played the Homerun Durby and hit like 8 HRs. The next clip is of me practicing my Spanish. I am spending at least an hour a day working on it. Yesterday's lesson was about jobs. The program was teaching us how to say what we do for a living. I would say, "Soy ministra de juventud. Me gusta me trabojo" (I am a youth minister. I like my job). At the point of the video the program was teaching us what to say if you are retired. Which would be, Soy jubilada for me because I am a girl so it would end in an a. In the video I actually end it in an "o" and then correct myself by saying, "no soy chico." I recommend using the Podcast Coffee Break Spanish. It is tought by people from Scotland. I'm kind of worried when I speak Spanish I'm going to have a Scottish accent because I'm learning from people from Escotia (that's how you say Scotland). Here's their web-site: http://www.coffeebreakspanish.com/.

My Weekend

Hey blog readers!


My weekend, which is actually friday and saturday, was so relaxing. On Friday I did something huge! I turned off my cell phone, computer, and TV (except for the Astros game). I went the whole day without them! I kept wanting to turn my phone on to see if anyone called, but I stayed true and returned my phone calls on Saturday. Next time I'm going to try to do what Andrea Peterson called a Screen Free Day. Meaning I couldn't use anything that has a screen. That would mean no cell phone, no TV, no computer, no IPOD, no DS, and no movies. I was thinking about making it a Youth Challenge; a fasting from Technology experiment. What do you think?


I finished a book I was reading (I have a bad habit of reading like 4 at a time so I was really glad when I finished this one). I played with Tucker, who I hadn't seen all week because I housesat for the Bennetts last week.


I watched the Astros, of course! They won two in a row! This was the first time they have won two in a row since May 15th and 16th when they played the Giants (which is very exciting since I'm not a fan of Barry Bonds). The sad news, though, is that Lance Berkman did get thrown out of a game again, and Hunter Pence and Luke Scott both hurt their hip flexers. I actually didn't know that you could hurt your hip flexer, but apparently you can. It looks like they are both going to miss a game or two which is rough since they are such an important part of the team. sigh.


Anyway, church is about to start so I got to sign off. Have a super Sunday and see you at Chaos at 5pm!
