Here’s a fun list<\/span> that came right off the top of my head. Seriously. I was just riding my bike to work and a sheet of paper fell out of a tree as I whooshed by and it landed on my head. It had these fill-in-the-blank questions on it. And since I’m a sucker for questionnaires, I’m gonna complete it.<\/p>\n

Feel free to make a meme out of it and take it to your own blog.<\/p>\n

What I am listening to right now:<\/span>
“Nos Da Cariad” from David Gray’s Life in Slow Motion<\/span><\/p>\n

What computer I am using right now:<\/span>
A 20-in. iMac G5<\/a>, the white kind before they got all silvery and cool.<\/p>\n

What I am eating right now:<\/span>
The bitten-off last part of a strawberry-and-creme flavored Lifesaver sucker, which is the best hard candy product in the world. (I have a story about these I will tell later.)<\/p>\n

What I am drinking right now:<\/span>
Water<\/p>\n

What I have just finished doing:<\/span>
Spending my lunch break at the pool with my family.<\/p>\n

What I will do immediately after posting this:<\/span>
Design signs for the preschool hallway at my church.<\/p>\n

What I am reading now:<\/span>
Finding God in Unexpected Places<\/a>, <\/span>by Philip Yancey<\/a>
My Beautiful Idol<\/a>,<\/span> by Pete Gall<\/a><\/p>\n

Last email\/text I received:<\/span>
It was from Tonia Chapman, who got second place in the Fake Band Names contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last email\/text I sent:<\/span>
To the place where I keep my boxes<\/a> of Pocket Guide to the Bible,<\/span> so they could pull a couple of boxes for me to pick up.<\/p>\n

Last blog entry I read:<\/span>
Today’s post from my friend Matt’s blog<\/a>. Even if you don’t know Matt and his story, his blog is a good one to read. I always leave it feeling two things: 1) Sadness, because that’s the appropriate response when a wife and mother die too young; and 2) Inspiration to hug my kids more, hug my wife more, appreciate life more.<\/p>\n

What I did last night:<\/span>
Went to my 5-year-old son’s tee-ball game in 106-degree heat. While wearing jeans.<\/p>\n

What I’m doing tonight:<\/span>
Going to my 8-year-old daughter’s volleyball game. It’s inside. Yay.<\/p>\n

What I just looked at right now:<\/span>
The fake ficus tree behind my computer.<\/p>\n
