You Know This - Loves It

I really really like this song! I just found it on David Hughes' blog and have already listened to it 3 times!



Thank you for this treat, David Hughes! You're the best!

You Know This - Hip Hop Robbie

My nephew Robbie got gangsta moves!



I wonder where he gets it from...

You Know This - 3 Days and Counting...

Well, today is day 3 sans Starbucks. This may not seem like that big of a deal, but it is definitely revealing my true addiction. I feel like I have a radar for Starbucks and they are just popping up on every corner!

But, if Jesus can go 3 days without life, I can go 3 days without Starbucks, right?

You Know This - I Miss You Friend

Today I saw this on the wipe board sitting on my desk at work...

I miss you friend!

You Know This - It's Laundry, It's Laundry Time

I have 12 little piles of laundry that I am trying to tackle today. It amazes me that I could let it get this far without doing a single load. But even more amazing, I can't believe I have enough clothes to still get by without wearing the dirty ones. Maybe it's time to take a trip to the Buffalo Exchange.

And rather than actually doing the laundry, what do I do? I procrastinate by blogging about it.

oops.

Katie here...

So Bethany left her blogger up on my computer...

I really want to post something awesome on here, something embarrassing, funny, life changing etc. But I can't think of anything. 

Dang. 

You Know This - The Question Man Knows All The Answers

This weekend in Wildside we decided to shake things up a bit. Instead of Kurt teaching a typical lesson, we let the students write out questions for Kurt to answer. Everything was in real time, allowing for the kids to think of things as we were going. Talk about amazing! Not only did these students have some great difficult questions, but Kurt did such a good job at thoroughly and honestly answering them. At the end of each service, Kurt asked the students if they want to do the same format next week or if we should just start another series. 99.5% of the students raised their hand for the questions - which just goes to show you how hungry this generation of kids is for some truth.

You Know This - Double-Oh-My

I cannot believe it has been over a week and I still haven't seen this!...

You Know This - Buzz LoserYear

This picture captured the essence of Bethany on the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyland...

The answer to your question: I have no clue what I'm looking at! But it does explains my score of 0 points! And with Gangsta Ryan sitting by me, there was no need for me to shoot any bad guys, right?!

You Know This - Nerd-tindo

I've always been a bit of a nintendo nerd (which just reminded me of the aweful nintendo game my best friend Adam Jermain and I created when we were 8 years old about a hampster that had to tunnel through his cage to get to his food...stupid!) but I think the fact that I'm blogging about Wii for the second time this week just bumped my nerd factor up the scale!

That being said, check this out: Wii Music! You can play over 50 different instruments! It could be completely lame, but it looks super cool!

You Know This - Seeing Double

Saddleback has offered for families to come up to the Refinery and take Christmas pictures. During our team meeting today, we came across these:

Yep, those are life size cut outs of Rick Warren and Doug Fields! Hilarious!
But things got even more exciting when this happened...

You Know This - I'm Sorry Mama

Despite my mother telling me at the young age of 7 that I am not allowed to ride a motorcycle, I got extremely excited at the idea that Brian would let Katie and I take his bike for a spin! For about 15 minutes, Katie and I unsuccessfully attempted to drive the bike. Once we realized that we couldn't even get the kick stand up, we decided to just enjoy the simple victory of sitting on the bike. Although, it was very exciting when Brian showed us how to rev the engine!

So, no worries mama! 20 years later and I'm still obeying your rules!

You Know This - I'm a Wiizard!

On Wii Bowling, there's this super fun game I like to refer to as "Lots-O-Pins." (Not sure what it's really called, but if you play Wii bowling, you probably know what I'm talking about.) At the end of the game, there is a special trick where you can throw the ball up onto a wall and, if it makes it all the way down the lane, it will automatically knock over all of the pins. For those of you who are visual learners, here's what I'm talking about (you may want to fast forward to about 50 seconds - unless you want to learn the cheat)...

Well, you probably know where this is going, and the answer is YES... Last night, I totally threw a Power Strike! Amazing!

You Know This - Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

This commercial made me laugh so hard that I made a not-so-reluctant Zack rewind it twice!

You Know This - Top 100

This morning I found the Top 100 All-Time Worldwide Box Office list on iMDb. Not gonna lie, some of the movies actually surprised me that they were on there(cough - the simpson's movie)! Here's the top 10...

• Titanic
  
• The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
• Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
• The Dark Knight
• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
• Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
• Star Wars: Episode 1
• The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
• Jurassic Park
  

(Luke, I'm sure seeing Jurassic Park made the cut makes you so proud!)

Then I went through the list to see how many of them I've seen... 90! That's crazy! If you put that into monetary terms, that's about $900 worth of movies right there!

And I must give props to ET for hanging in there after all these years. Sorry I still haven't watched you, but I do enjoy your ride at Universal Studios.

You Know This - CWalkin' on Sunshine

For some reason, I tend to think I can do anything I try. And not only do I think I can do it, but I also think I should be the best at it. For instance, whenever I go to classes at the gym - whether its a hip-hop class, step class, weights, yoga, whatever - I always push myself to the breaking point by unsuccessfully trying to be the best in the class. Seriously. This is why I have fainted twice now at 24 hour fitness.

Well, today was no exception. I got the wild idea that I should know how to do the CWalk. It's been years since this move came out and about, and I'm pretty sure no one does it anymore, but I still felt the need to master the move. So I went onto YouTube and found this beauty...

You really can find anything on the internet! But let me tell you, it is freakin' hard! So if you are anything like me and think you should be able to do any dance move, good luck and let me know how it goes!

You Know This - Hero (not Heroes)

Just now on my way home from church I was listening to 103.5 KOST Love Songs on the Coast when an old favorite came on - I Can Be Your Hero by Enrique Iglesias... which reminded me of the time Taffy practically physically abused me while Dom performed said song during a Wildside service...

Which reminded me that it's Taffy's birthday... Happy Birthday Taff! Consider this post your birthday present from me to you!

You Know This - BU Whoo Whoo

Dear Grey's Anatomy,
Thank you for giving Baylor a shout out in tonight's episode. It brought a smile to my face. I will do my best to return the favor.
Much love,
Bethany

You Know This - Riley Hall or Edward Cullen

I'm not even a big Twilight fan, but this makes me very proud of my friend Riley Hall...

You Know This - Too Hot To Handle, Too Cold To Hold

This weather is very confusing to my wardrobe! I planned on switching out my closet from my summer stuff to my winter clothes, but from the looks of things, it may still be a bit too early!

You Know This - What A Great Way To Start The Day

This morning I got ready for church, headed out to the garage, sat down in the car, and thought to myself, "something is wrong here..."

That's when I realized, I forgot to put on pants!

I really don't do mornings!

You Know This - Pumpkin Carving Night

When I look back on pictures to remember this halloween, I will only have memories of carving a pumpkin...these are the only pictures I took!

Which is a great memory (especially since it was Ange's first pumpkin-carving experience), but there were just so many more! Oh well, next time.

You Know This - Two of my Favorite People...

...rolled into one!

Jason Bowen and Zack Barker

It took a lot of time and effort to get these two to line up just right,

but well worth the effort!

Love the split screen feature in the Refinery!
