This picture made me laugh. I'm guessing that the game came out before the miniseries.

Ear Lavage

I had an Ear Lavage today. Sounds interesting right? It's pronounced 'la-VAJ', like it's very fancy and French. It sounds like 'la vache' (which I think means 'the cow' if I remember my French from high school. So I guess I came very close to having an Ear The Cow).

Well, if you've never had one, let me tell you, it is not very fancy. It's actually very gross and weird. This was done at the doctor's office. The doctor said I had too much gunk in my ears. So she had a lady come in to give me an Ear The Cow. The lady gave me a plastic tub to hold under my ear. Then she took a squirt bottle with a special attachment and unloaded about a gallon of water into my ear.

It kind of sounded like this:

SQWSSSSSSHHHH-SQWSSSSSSSHHHHH-SQWSSSSSSSHHHHH-SQWSSSSSSSSHHHHHH

except for like a hundred squirts and not just 4. And it feels like someone is jabbing you inside of your head in an area that was never meant to be jabbed. Then when she stops squirting, it sounds like your ear is full of bubbles.

Every once in a while, she took a break to empty the tub of water/ear goo. And if I was lucky she'd say 'Hey! A nice big chunk came out that time!' Then she'd look inside my ear to see if it was clean yet. If it wasn't, she'd go back to trying to shoot water into my brain.

Anyhow, my ears are now free from gunk. Which I guess it's good. I just hope they stay un-gunky so I don't need another Ear The Cow. I really didn't enjoy it.

Dreams

Have you ever had that dream about falling down? You know the one I'm talking about?

The one where you trip and fall down and scrape up your hands on the asphalt. And the scrapes get all dirty and end up with yucky things inside of them. Like bug eggs.

And then the bug eggs hatch under your skin. And when you look at your palms, you can see creepy bugs crawling around inside the skin of your hands.

And so you scratch at them, and your skin bursts open and a bunch of those roly-poly potato bugs start crawling out of your hands. You know the dream I'm talking about?

I had that dream last night. Twice. I didn't sleep very well.

GPS

I need this:

Round-abound...hehe

According to this slickdeal, you can get a TomTom GPS for $89. Too bad we already have a Garmin or I would've bought one for sure.

16 again

It's my birthday today. Which means that my driver's license is expiring. I got the reminder a while ago, but forgot to renew it. I was planning on going to the DMV today to take care of it, but then I realized that the DMV here is closed on Mondays. That means that I will have to wait until tomorrow.

The problem is, I won't be able to drive myself because my license will be expired. I thought that maybe Mrs. BigKat could drive me, but then we'd have to take the kids with us which would be a hassle. So I called my mom. She said that she was available and could drive me there.

Yes, tomorrow, my mom is driving me to the DMV to get my driver's license.

This makes me giggle.

In my Sunday School class, I've been making movies to help illustrate our lessons. Over the past few weeks, we've been studying Acts. Acts is great because it talks about God's AMAZING, UNSTOPPABLE power. God had a plan to have the Good News about His Son Jesus spread all over the place and nothing could stop it!

Here are a couple of movies that we've watched that help illustrate what we've been learning. I use LilKat1's legos to make the movies. This first video talks about God's amazing power to change lives.

This second video talks about how nothing can stop the power of God.

These videos have been working out great in class. The kids love them, and they help reinforce the lessons that we've been learning about God and the Bible.

Bullitt

We watched Bullitt last night. Here's the famous car chase scene. Who would've guessed that San Fransisco had so many green VW bugs? When the first bug came up (around 3:20 on the youtube clip), I pointed it out to Mrs. BigKat. The next 3 made her laugh.
