Joshua enters the room, solemn and proper; with great passion he proclaims:

“Tomorrow I will go outside and I will say ‘Wake up, Wake up little roly-poly, for it is your birthday and I am your friend.’ You see my dear mom, roly-polys don’t have birthdays but tomorrow mine will. Oh yes, yes he will.”

Holding his head high he turns and makes his exit.

I look first to the right and then to the left and wonder if we’ve somehow been transported into a classic children’s story book. It appears as if I’m still sitting in my living room but I can’t help but ask: What four year old talks like that?!?

Update: The poor roly-poly never made it to his birthday. Joshua woke up to find that he had died over the night.

Here’s a picture of my favorite coffee cup. I got it from
Christianbook.com. I found this mug on sale when I was at their site purchasing a
Francine Rivers book for Sarah. I loved the pink and brown so I went ahead and ordered it I also got Kurt the green Faith one for Valentines Day. When they arrived they were much nicer than I expected; I’m going to keep an eye out for the next sale so I can get the rest of the collection.

I love
Christianbook.com, I’ve purchased various books and gifts from them over the years and I’m always impressed with their service as well as their competitive prices. I’ve linked to them so often I decided to go ahead and become an affiliate. So now when I send customers their way I get a friendly little commission. What Fun. Seeing that this is where I actually shop I don’t mind telling you about them every now and again.

Believe Stoneware Mug Contemporary latte style mug in mauve pink features chocolate brown interior and etched design on both sides Believe with butterfly accent. Holds 13 ounces; packaged in acetate gift box with satin ribbon and gift tag. Microwave/dishwasher safe.

Oh, this is a dual purpose post, not only is it some what of an ad but a bit of a birthday present hint as well. See how efficient I am.
