Jesus is jumping for Karla (I need to update my reading links). Bug is safe and happy back at the base daycare, and I'm getting some work done. I'll be writing my Motif Monday post later.
----
Update: I can't do this topic justice today. Seems I've gotten some sick in me. My stomach is in knots; I feel wiggy; I've already puked. I'm extending this topic another week so I have time to consider it.
In the meantime, should you choose to post something (or already have), let me know and I'll link up.
Amen, sister! Everyone's always talking about jumping for Joy--but what's so great abot Joy? Who the hell is she and why are we all supposed to be so excited about her? It's about time someone started jumping for Karla. So thank you, Jesus. And thank you, mrtl.

Hee! That made me smile! Can I borrow him for my site?

I love that! :D

well, since you asked, karla... Joy actually stands for "Jesus, others, yourself." that's the order in which i do things in my life, and therefore what brings me the most Joy! :)

I only jump rope. And then only begrudgingly.

Feel better soon!

I like the Jesus and I hope you feel better very soon. I've got a sprained or something finger, if it makes you feel any better.

Maybe jumping jesus made you naseuous (don't ask me to spell that right!)?
I hope you feel better!

Oh, I hope you're feeling better soon!

Karla - You are most welcome.
Kelli - As I said privately, Jesus belongs to us all.
pea - I found it on the web years ago, but couldn't find it over the last couple days. Such a shame he's not more easily found. Hopefully mrtland can be the #1 search hit for "jumping Jesus on a pogo stick graphic image gif whatever."
Raz - What's up with the Jewish "oy" interjection, then? ;)
eclectic - I'm not jumping much these days, either. Actually, never did.
Bente - Thanks! I do understand better now why Bug was so clingy last week. Poor thing.
Daphne - Kisses for your finger to make it all better. :*(
Heathen - He is pretty mesmerizing and dizzying.
pea - Thanks! Hopefully the f'ing chills go away soon. That's the worst part. Or would that be the constant feeling that I'm going to puke?

Hola Chica! I'm catchin' up on blogs, so I left a couple comments on some of your older posts too.
Thanks for the snow pics, BTW! I love them, and am totally jealous. Yes I am.

I don't know, mrtl. I don't think Jesus would even NEED a pogo stick to catch some air... I'm just saying. I always kind of pictured him as the skydiving type, you know, all flying through the air and doing rolls and shiz? Wouldn't even need a parachute, would he, come to think of it. Much cooler than a pogo stick. Is there a skydiving Jesus out there? Anyone? Because that would be AWESOME.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa! OMG!!!!!!!!! Jesus is jumping!!!!!!! I just found that so damn funny!!!!!!!
Posted by: Danielle | 2005.11.29 at 08:28 AM
Hope you're feeling better.
I totally want the jumping jesus! When I look at him long enough I start hearing noise - boooooooooing, boooooooing, booooooing!!!
Crazy? Yes, I AM :)

regarding the Jewish "oy" interjection in "joy": Jesus was Jewish His whole life, so that's probably from whence it came! :)
feel better soon, oh thy tummy of mrtl!

Hope you're feeling better soon, hon. Being pregnant AND sick is just awful. Big HUGS to you.

I hope you feel better soon SugarBear.

Feel better, mrtl.

I think you've been watching that jumping jesus for too long. He is rather mesmerizing.
Hope you got that sick out of you.
Posted by: sheryl | 2005.11.29 at 12:59 PM
Get better. Maybe watching the Jumping Jesus made you dizzy. Close your eyes and get some sleep.
Posted by: wordgirl | 2005.11.29 at 02:10 PM
Thanks, it helped. My finger is doing better. Also, I went ahead and did some motif monday-writing... so cheerful, too!
Posted by: Daphne | 2005.11.29 at 02:53 PM
I like Jesus' pogo stick.
Feel better soon!

Welcome back Ern!
cat - Very good point, but I kind of like the idea of Jesus being bouncy. It's happy, you know?
Danielle - Same reaction I had when I first saw it. He still makes me happy.
Dima - Right click, save target as and he's yours, too!
Raz - Thanks, sweetie!
LadyBug - Throw in a mercurial toddler. Yeah, it hasn't been a good couple of days.
Amanda - I had stopped in earlier and saw comments, but didn't have time to respond. I'm wondering if you put the Super Sugar Crisps in my brain. I still blove you, though.
Kalki - Thank you!
sheryl - Not quite yet. I now understand why Bug has been eating so little. At least she's not puking, though. Small favors.
wordgirl - I did get a nice long nap today. I could probably go to sleep now and go through till tomorrow night. I'm sure that's because of the not eating.
Responsibility sucks sometimes.
Go Daphne!
spoonleg - Thanks!
