Surprised? That's EXACTLY how I looked about five weeks ago when I decided that could trim my bangs all by myself and save a trip to the salon.

I've been trimming my own bangs for years and could do it in my sleep. And five weeks ago.......it looked like I did!!

If you ice-fish, don't toss your catch in the un-used holes for cold-storage...

Do not, under any circumstances, say that you'll never do something, live somewhere, or like someone.

Chances are, you'll look up one day and realize that you're doing that thing, while living in that place, while married to that person.

Don't eat yellow snow?

When you say you will pray for someone---DO IT!
Don't just say you will pray about something, or for someone, and then not follow through is something my Sunday School teacher impressed upon me many years ago.
Even better, when someone asks you to pray, offer to do it with them right then and there.
Also never resist the Holy Spirit's prompting to pray for someone---even when it seems odd and out of nowhere.
I have been prompted lately this way, and casually mentioned to one of these people they were heavily on my mind and had been praying for them; their response was they were dealing with some weighty decisions in their life right now, and they were extremely grateful and asked that I continue to pray.
Very cool.

Don't make pancakes unless you've already checked to see if there is any syrup.

You'll know who your friends are when you're on your way down.

I can attest to this. When my family first started camping when I was growing up my dad swore up and down that he would never pull a trailer. He ended up pulling a 5th wheel before everything was done. We never let him live that one down.
