Best of...laugh until I cry youtube clips

-
Every once in a while, I need a good laugh. Next time, I'll be ready with a few of my favorite youtube clips all in one place.

For those of you, who like me, just lurv the Gather Hymnal, this one's for you:


With Advent just around the corner, perhaps you're in the mood for a little seasonal sing-along. I'm all about equal-opportunity, so here's a little something for the Star Wars and Star Trek fans:




Feeling political? Or sick of politics? 


And, because we started on a pious note, let's end on one too. Who doesn't love a little liturgical dancing by Stephen Colbert?




Just kidding, one last one. Selfie-generation, this one's for you:

Eating to Thrive: the post for those who've asked

"Do graham crackers count as treats?" Every morning for the last week or so, my four year old has asked me, "Is it still  Lent? I don't like this part of Lent." We're not quite two weeks into this penitential season, and the removal of treats has been a millstone around her neck. I can relate; I have a sweet tooth the size of Texas , Alaska , North America. I get asked frequently what I've changed, how I eat, and comments on the weight I've lost, so I thought I'd go ahead and write a post about it for anyone that wants to know. However, before I launch into that, I want to stress that I'm firmly in the 80/20 camp of healthy eating. For example, yesterday we celebrated the "mini Easter" of a Sunday in Lent by eating ice cream and Cadbury mini eggs. And do you know who ate the most? Me. But today, Lent or not, I'm back on the wagon. I spent months researching nutritional science   1  and observing how foods,  and when I at

You can find Part I here Another horrible phone pic, taken in my long-term-stay hospital room, but I wanted to show how much smaller my tummy was after losing all of my water. My previous post has a picture of me at 27 weeks and I look roughly the same size, but I assure you there was a substantial difference. It was 6:45 on a cloudless Sunday morning. Mark was rifling through the linen closet looking for a towel, I was on the phone with my Mom, already grateful for the first grace: it was early enough that Mom wasn't yet unreachable at church, but late enough that we'd all gotten sleep. Our conversation was brief as I relayed that my water broke, everywhere. She would be over immediately. Our four other children were fast asleep and would wake to find Grandma here and us gone. I knew they would be confused, but seeing Grandma would put them at ease. Until this point, I had been very careful not to move, fearful even of reaching for the phone. Not only did I not w

1. Whew. What a week. We are flying on through, as usual. First things first, immunity is back up for grabs  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARK! Yesterday, hubby turned 34. And now you know that we're old and clearly watch too much Survivor. Lucy gets her photo op, too Also, a huge shout out to my awesome guy who fixed the formatting issues I was having. Something about adding CSS...I don't speak tech, so no clue here, but thank you! 2. I'd love to see a Myers Briggs test on cooks versus bakers. Cooks have large cushions when it comes to ingredient quantities. Bakers, well, that's more like kitchen chemistry. It needs to be precise. I'm an INFP and I'm  not  a baker. All that measuring? Boring, and too much clean up. I'm definitely a cook. I add, I add more, I adjust, I'm anything but precise. It's all about practice. You start with recipes and get to know look, feel, texture and then when you've got that down, you just start throwing th
