<\/a>— 1 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scottish independence vote.<\/strong> For those who want to know the result of the Scottish independence vote and don’t want the commentary, here’s your answer<\/a>. For everyone else, here<\/a> is commentary and information.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n An update on Courtney.<\/strong> I posted prayer requests related to Mary and Courtney<\/a> ~3 weeks ago. Today, they made the decisions for what will be happening in the coming months<\/a>. There are various ways you can help — the Amazon.Com wishlist<\/a> and GoFundMe<\/a> are just two of them. I can also tell you from experience: Mary writes the *BEST* thank-you notes.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Napa Valley will love this news…<\/strong> Apparently, there is a study that claims that drinking wine is better than going to the gym<\/a>. I think my mommy blogger friends will agree to this one.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n A sign that I’m getting back to “normal”.<\/strong> I don’t know if it’s serious cabin fever from the heat or the fact that my foot is probably sprained (foot injuries make me more peripatetic than usual — perhaps my body not wanting to be told what it cannot do) but I have been *DYING* to go for walks every morning. After not doing it for at least 4 years, I’m covering 2-3 miles without a problem… even in 93F heat! Thankfully, it was only 73F when I went out today. I’m happy that I have a doable course for the Run for the Little Flowers<\/a> worked out.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Prerequisite baseball take.<\/strong> The Giants are still 2.5 games behind Jon’s boys. They could still take their division… provided Jon’s boys lose a few more. (Of course, I’m also living in Dodger country so my opinion is not popular.)<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Two truths and a lie.<\/strong> While I was on my walk this morning, I had a random thought for a Quick Take: play the game “Two Truths and a Lie” which is one of those weird mixer games from college and youth group. The rules are pretty simple: make three statements about yourself and people have to guess which one is not true. Leave your answer in the comments and I’ll let people know which is which next week. <\/p>\n Here are my three:<\/p>\n 1.) I’ve been thrown and passed around by the fish throwers<\/a> at Pike Place Market<\/a> in Seattle.<\/p>\n 2.) I’ve kissed a banana slug.<\/p>\n 3.) I’ve never voted Republican in a California election.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Oh. Em. Gee. My shows start again next week!!!!!!<\/strong> I am so incredibly excited because The Big Bang Theory, and the various NCIS incarnations start again on Monday. I don’t have access to a TV so I have a feeling that I’ll be doing a lot of watching while crocheting on the morning after each show comes out. <\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, visit Jen at ConversionDiary.Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — 1 — Scottish independence vote.
