Yeah, you know the ones where you start off believing you have nothing to blog about, and then you begin to write about how you have nothing to blog about, only to end up with an entire post about how and why you don&#8217;t have what to blog about &#8212; but will go ahead and mention a few random thoughts anyway.  Yeah, this is one of those.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">On that note&#8230;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<ul>\n<li>I bought a water bottle from Wal-Mart that takes 2.2 L of water [which is equal to 8 glasses of water].  We are recommended to drink 8 glasses of water per day, so I figured I&#8217;d give it a try.  Sooo not easy!  Been walking around feeling like water-filled balloons are dancing around in my belly.  I&#8217;m pretty sure that if you poke my belly with a pin, you&#8217;ll be able to host a pool party.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_JGw_f7aCtEE\/Sr7MjHe9MRI\/AAAAAAAAAg0\/WJWOvqA8fEY\/s400\/DSC_1271.JPG\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385967108058067218\" \/><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Have you ever felt like so many things are just going on at the same time?  Ever knelt down to pray and not even known what to pray for or how to pray for it?  Ever wished you could confront God face-to-face and ask Him some personal questions, but then, as quickly as that wish came to you, a thought popped up in the back of your mind, and you say to yourself [or maybe out loud], <i>&#8220;God forbid!  I don&#8217;t want to confront Him.  I&#8217;ll die the day I see His face?&#8221;<\/i>  No??  Just me then.

I sing that song to make myself feel better.  And no, I am neither depressed nor contemplating suicide, thank you very much.

The process of coming up with different <i>ways<\/i> and <i>styles<\/i> that are most suitable for the invention of said children has to be pretty darn interesting.  [Case in point: I heard that when the woman stays upside down immediately after the act of invention, it better increases the chances of a successful invention].
