I didn’t get an invite? Did you?

Well, here is a form if you are like me and got left out. I don’t know if filling out the form really does any good, but it is there.

They have a very long video to show you everything Wave can do, but here is a shorter video that gives an overview.

This Holiday Weekend

2009 November 28
by Bitsy Griffin

Besides sleeping in, I’ve finished all the essays, quizzes, reading for 6010 and only have left the construction of the term paper on Privacy Issues and Libraries. OK, I may need to do a little more research on the topic if I see any holes. It’s not due until 12/8, so I’m thinking I may pull this off with out too much fret. (This was much of the weekend btw.) Look up articles, visit. Read articles, visit. Take notes on articles, visit. Write, visit. ;)

We got Brandon to the airport so he can be back at church tomorrow.

We went to see a movie, The Blind Side. If you haven’t seen it, it’s wonderful. I’d like to read the book now. It was one of those stories where I kept saying to myself, “Can’t you see God working?!” Amazing!

OH and we went to a WFU BB game Tuesday night. There is another tonight.

I fixed fresh green beans for Thanksgiving day. We got the skinny french ones and I cut off the ends. Washed them, covered them with ice water and several teaspoons of vegetable bouillon. Cooked them for six hours on high. They were fabulous. Still a tad crunchy. mmmmmm

American Vision Weekend 50% off sale

Here’s the scoop: Black Friday Sale

At Least 50% OFF EVERYTHING FRIDAY – SUNDAY ONLY!Why is the day after Thanksgiving called, “Black Friday?” Most recently, merchants and the media have used it instead to refer to the beginning of the period in which retailers go from being in the red (i.e., posting a loss on the books) to being in the black (i.e., turning a profit). American Vision is a non-profit organization that is funded by contributions and the sales of educational resources. For the next three days, we are slashing retail and list prices by 50%. No coupon code necessary. Please note that we cannot apply this discount to previous orders. This is a GREAT time to purchase gifts for Christmas. What better gift can you give than a Bible, book, or DVD that inspires and equips fellow Christians to advance the Kingdom of Christ?

Black Friday

What do you do Black Friday?

I’m not much of a shopper and there is no way on God’s green earth I’m gonna get up any earlier than I have to on a day I don’t have to.

I don’t mind going out later in the day after those truly bargain hunting for absolutely any and every thing are out of the way. AND we have found some decent deals later in the day. I’ve just never wanted anything material item badly enough to fight for it.

I also need to spend most of today writing. I was a total bum on Wednesday as far as school work went and just didn’t touch it. Hopefully, I can make up for lost time today.

From the paper source blog

The kit does cost $20, but looks like a great parent/child activity. And if you are the creative type, I think you could take the information given and run with it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just in case someone reads my blog that doesn’t read Scripture Zealot, Jeff had a great blog find in Scripture in Pictures.

Are you conservative or liberal?

2009 November 25
by Bitsy Griffin

Religiously speaking of course.

I did some searches using those terms and a variety of modifiers. I don’t think any of the links I ran across were unifying, many were divisive, and almost all had some political message.

I used to think labels helped, but the older I get, the more I know they divide. AND I can’t live up to a label consistently. I’m gonna be ultra conservative on something that surprises you and king (or queen ;) ) of the liberals on something else.

One of the local principals has been recommended for firing. NO other details are given as to the reason. There were some non-reasons, but no reasons.

Very curious!

Education week has a widget maker. I got excited when I saw there was a WordPress button thinking it would be non-javascript. Alas, it’s not.
