Cooper's tubes went well (in August ha!). Jeremy asked me to blog, so here I am blogging. Isn't the internet just magery? It really gets me wild up, I tell ya.

Cooper is Getting Tubes

Cooper gets tubes the day after tomorrow. I just wanted to ask everyone to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Jeremy is coming to pray with us on Wednesday morning - I can't explain in words how very much this means to me. Thank you Jeremy.

So I took Cooper to Dollywood today, and bought a soda while I was there. Later on, I wanted to buy another, but didn't want to waste another cup, so I asked them to just refill the cup I already had. Now keep in mind I was prepared to pay the full price as if I was buying a new drink AND cup. You'd have thought I had asked them to slice out their kidney and plop it in my "non-refillable" cup. I finally convinced them this was a good thing, but good grief!

Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential

You like to do research and collect lots of information.

The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn.

You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities.

You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study.

It's difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do.

You aren't a very patient teacher, and you don't like convincing people that you're right.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

I'm Loafers???

You Are Loafers

You are confident, powerful, and successful.
Hard working and business like, you always dress and act appropriately.

You are consistent and a bit conservative.
You aren't really susceptible to trends, although you always dress well.

While you tend to be formal, you know how to adapt to your surroundings.
So are professional at work... but more laid back when your with your friends.

You should live: In a huge city

You should work: In a competitive field where you can rise to the top

Explanation of Grandpa Mynatt

2008-05-13T18:37:00.001-07:00

My son did not have a name up until about 2 hours before he was born. But that was not for lack of effort and suggestion on the part of my then 4 year old niece. About 2 months before my yet to be named son was born, JP decided it would be her mission to pick out a name for him. So she carefully (read: drug across my yard and probably pitched a bit of a fit) set up my lawn chair in the sun, came back into the house and took the baby name book along with a pen back out with her. She spread her little towel over the chair and made herself comfortable and proceeded to make her way through the book marking the names she found interesting. Now keep in mind, she's 4, hasn't started school yet, and can't read the first word in that book.

So after she's spent about 15 minutes in the yard kicked back picking out and circling baby names. She comes in to present me with her nifty idea. She's decided we are going to name the baby....Grandpa Mynatt. So there you have it.
