Laugh now, but you'll be shaking my hand soon enough. I'll make sure you get a special treat... I'm laughing as I type this....

perhaps we should stick with a traditional peep bow.

Seeing the visual again...me sticking out my hand and you bowing....

 

[joy13]

Glad to hear your retreat went so well! That's a wide range of age groups to talk to - sounds like you did well - that's awesome!

A 5 hour shopping trip would do me in as well - looks like you were pretty successful, short of the shoes.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Good grief I go to sleep for a few hours and I miss tons!!!

I think this is the only place where you can read about a great spiritual moment, sir fartalot hot sauce and the virtues of wet wipes all in one page.

So true!!

I believe in the fold then scrunch method. It's an art form really. It ends up looking like a poof ball, but it gives maximum hand coverage.

That's my girl!

I can just see explaining why there is powder all over the bathroom floor....

....or everywhere you sit afterward! My DH used to put so much powder in DS's diaper, he left a small white cloud everytime he sat!

Ugh, it reminds me of the aloe tp that was briefly on the market. Supposed to be soft and gentle but really it was...

slimy.

I remember that! It did feel slimy...or slippery.

Yes and wash your hands before using the hand towel as well

This is going to be the best trip ever!!!

 

[punkin413]

well, there's 2 ways you could look at that...

this is exactly what i was thinking!

 

[kitcar]

I just fussed at my kids for making too many poop jokes earlier. So how do I explain that mommy is rolling on the floor because of the very same thing?

 

[Millie12591]

I wonder if they come in a travel size...

I guess I'm a little slow for this answer. But yes, they do have these in travel size. I won't reveal how I know this.

I am at a shoe store right now. Saw some cool shoes, but I have small feet so they rarely have my size. I am looking at Clarks, borns and steve maddens right now. We've been shopping for 5 hours now.

Wow! I'm impressed!

I can officially say that I'm going next month.

I'm so excited for you, and everyone else!! I can't wait to read your TR from this trip. I was wondering if there's room for another to come on the Peeps trip? I haven't gotten to know you all for very long, but I think after all our poop talk, and wiping methods we're all well aquainted enough, don't ya think?!? This could be a really fun trip! I wanted to go for a turning 40 trip, but that happens in 2011 and I'm not sure I could make it happen that quickly, besides this trip sounds like a lot more fun!!!

The song Away in the Manger would have probably turned out a bit different as well..

Erin still comes running over when I come over.... I dread the day that she's too cool for school.

Won't happen, she will just show it differently, when she get's older you just become the really cool uncle.

Mommy, why are there funny hairs on the towel?? Shouldn't we wash it??

Sick, sick, sick! I love it!

Seriously, I think you are supposed to "dry off" with the real toilet paper (?) Or I guess you could squirt a bunch of powder down there after. Isn't that what we did to our kids??

You got the first part right...... so I hear.

Isn't God amazing? It's usually when we step out of our comfort zone that we can see that God is truly there. I'm so glad the retreat went well and that you got your fire back. It's a wonderful thing.

You got it right!!! It's when we step out of the "control" we think we have over things....then God can truly shine as to who He is...in us, through us and towards others. Amazing. <sigh>

I'm glad the retreat went so well for you, Jordan..I can see you as being very effective with that age group with your sense of humor and modern outlook.
This is true, although I think it was kinda unfair that you were expected to reach all age groups, there's a huge difference between a tween and a teen...but with God all things are possible.

Four more pair of chonies..woohoo..I like the dice ones..I must just be a novelty chonie kinda of girl..then again it's been so long since I've seen a pai..ermm..nevermind LOL
There she goes again!

And last but not least...FOLD people..fold..scrunching wastes way too much paper. The princess scrunches and it drives me absolutely batty!!! Though not as batty as leaving the cap off the toothpaste..grr!

Breath Amanda, it will all be alright.

Amanda, it's TP. You could use a thousand rolls and still not even come close to a snack at Disney. Scruch on, Piper!

Power to the scrunchers!!!

No, you don't dry off after. If you want to get technical - the regular tp is used first, then you 'finish up' with the wipe. Don't knock it till you try it!! Once you go wet, you'll never go back!

Never a more true statement....or so I hear.

God is amazing. I had such a good experience that I'm kinda re-thinking my career path so we'll see.

Wow, Jordy! That's huge!

Thanks. It was amazing how calm I was after the first talk. I didn't even use my notes that much.

It's called the power of the Holy Spirit. It's what happens when we let go and He gets to be in control.

I think this is the only place where you can read about a great spiritual moment, sir fartalot hot sauce and the virtues of wet wipes all in one page. It's sure heaven, ain't it?

I believe in the fold then scrunch method. It's an art form really. It ends up looking like a poof ball, but it gives maximum hand coverage.

Truly the best way to go.

It seems that max. hand coverage is an issue for some that scrunch. While that is a concern for me. I don't really think about it too much. If I happen to miss the TP a bit, I just wash my hands really, really, really good. Bet that makes you want to shake my hand huh?

Now I think I just threw up a little in my mouth!

I got some things for colder weather which I needed and you can't have too many chonies.

You did a great job Jordy, for someone who hates to shop, you sure did me proud.

Laugh now, but you'll be shaking my hand soon enough. I'll make sure you get a special treat... I'm laughing as I type this....

[Native NYer]

Catholic School Girl.....hmmmm...that must explain your attraction to Grey Goose Vodka.

It explains a lot

I hope it went well. It's in God's hands now.

I may venture out today and do some more shopping

Good grief I go to sleep for a few hours and I miss tons!!!

Sorry.

This is going to be the best trip ever!!!

I concur.

You know more than I do. I look at the description and I see built in webcam, blu-ray, how big the screen is. I actually pick it up to see how heavy it is. I look at the pretty colors....I basically picked the one I did because Great Biscuit said to.

We'll see what happens. I'm not really happy at work right now.

It explains a lot

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Ah, I see we finally made it out of the bathroom over here... for now

Chapter 67. Bonus Jonas Update.

I don't know anything about the Jonas Brothers...really. I heard this term used on Entertainment Tonight or something like it....

This update isn't about Bonus Jonas either. I just like the ring of it and it's really just a short bonus update before I go to church.

I have taken a traditional photo in front of the Chinese Laundry at DHS for several years now. I've been honored by a few of you taking the time to find this location and take your own version of this picture. So I hope you don't mind me stealing your photos, but you've posted them on public forums so I figure it's okay.....

Here are a few of mine:

Wow it's taken me awhile but I'm caught up again! Love the purchases. I really need to start making lists. I'm hoping I don't have to buy much for this trip. I know we need more ponchos. We used them all in June.

After all the TP talk I'm with Winkers and we should greet each other the Peeps way (a slight bend at the waist). A hug might be okay on second thought. You do know they put anti bac gel everywhere too.

 

[Charleston Princess]

He he he! I always giggle when I see the great Chinese Laundry pics all of you come up with!

 

[jenjolt]

LOL!!The Chinese Laundry pictures are hilarious! I'm going to have to make sure Leslie and I stop by there when we explore the Streets of America while in DHS!!!

 

[joy13]

Love the Chinese Laundry pictures!

 

[WendyO]

Hi there.... just hopping on here real quick to hijack for a moment...

Asking for prayers for my dad (Jordan's uncle) (78 years on Jan 1) who found out more cancer is back (3rd time) so will be starting chemotherapy shortly... discouraging but faith-testing so we know all things will work together for His glory... appreciate your thoughts and prayers

Thanks a million.... now back to your regularly scheduled programming (and me back to my Christmas clean up...)

 

[Native NYer]

Love the Chinese Laundry pics!

Wendy, keeping your dad in my prayers
