***********************************************************************************************

annie is on an exercise kick.
they must be talking about it at school.
she was workin' out yesterday.

impressive.
and then she announced she would be eating vegetables at every dinner and brushing her teeth better.
well ok….i guess that would be alright with me…..

*************************************************************************************************

i don't know who took it….but it's funny.

*************************************************************************************************

Bruna - what a lovely idea, I’ll be rdnaieg everyday honey.Good luck with it, can’t wait to see what goodies you come up with. I’d better keep my cheque book handy lol.Happy new year.HugsCatherine x

buy percocet online - One thing I really like about informational articles is that they can influence a reader’s thoughts. This article is one of those articles. I am highly impressed with your work and hope to read more.

eds - Annie!! Her part of this post made my night!

Rachel J - Dearest Meg! The pic of waffle…………OMG! Too cute! I have gone back to look at it at least half a dozen times! You should print that out and put it in the Etsy! Shop! 🙂
PS. Did you read my email?
PPS. Annie is adorable!

Tracy - oh waffle how I love thee!

Iris - LOOOOVE the doggie picture. so cute. and I love that your girl is learning about excersize and being healthy…good for her 🙂

jennifer wood - Sounds like John has been burned big time, sorry for your pain john.

Chris - Thanks Meg – this post made my day. Annie’s interest in being healthy – first, then the Waffle pic (LOVE IT), and finally the responses to the John Rambo spam comment. American women unite!

Lisa - Lol, have enjoyed reading the responses to John Rambo aka Crazy Nutjob…WTH? Poor guy, guess you have to feel sorry him…obviously suffers from a broken heart, that is the definition of bitter!

Nickster - I wholeheartedly agree with the comment above. Umm, not the John Rambo one of course, but the one mentioning if you posted the pic of Waffle on Etsy you’d have some takers. Namely, me. 🙂 Me loves your puppy!!!

Andrea T - “Mrs.Duerksen” one day…i need to know what is in that Sonic cup LOL i am a cranberry limeade girl but i need change. I’m in for the Meg convention!

Lori in Iowa - Becky and Amandangerous, the irony of it is what makes his comment so funny I think.
And delusional, of course.
Ah, John Rambo…you ARE a mystery!

Jennifer - And American hearts are breaking here knowing that John Rambo doesn’t want us! 🙁 Boooooo-hoooooo

Ryan - As an American Man married to another American Man, I have to question John’s lack of love for the American Woman.
Every important person in my life, other than my partner and son, is an American Woman and they are. the. absolute. GREATEST. EVER. EVER. ANYWHERE.
You will never find a woman more loving, kind, intelligent, funny, open-hearted, a touch sarcastic (in all the right ways), emotional, wonderful or perfect as an American Woman.
Maybe John just needs to find himself an American Man. 🙂
And that’s that.

sara @ it's good to be queen - lori in iowa!! ha ha ha! i just laughed out loud. sounds like john rambo wants somebody to read his blog.

sue - John doesn’t want me either. I am British. Cold, Reserved and stubborn. ha ha.

Kate - Dear John Rambo. You are cuckoo. Seek help. Or, just go outside and get some fresh air. Love, Me.

merlin - Dear John,
Ah, yes, dear john, apparently you are not interested in an American wife, a partner to share life’s journey with, apparently you are interested in a hired Nanny to look after you. Lucky for you there are many in the developing countries wanting the American dream enough to be your nanny. Just remember, immigration law allows them to leave you as free women after a few years of indentured service to you, so what you have is a short lived delusion about reality.

Amandangerous - Lol @ John Rambo.
He posts this on a blog of a cooking, cleaning, woman with five kids… he should post this on like a career girl’s blog or something if he even wants to make sense XD

lindsey - meg!!!
oh my goodness……
i live in mission, ks (part of KC) and have been secretly dreaming of meeting you someday. i mean, come one, we’re fellow kansans right!?!?!?
and your craftiness!!!??? YIKES. has me over the top every time.
but most of all?
it’s your honesty, and your love for the Lord – i adore both:)
so.
you MUST host a crafti event! ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
heck, i just need a tutorial on how to use my singer simple!!!!

Jessica @ My Ardent Life - Rambo = spam comment? All the responses are cracking me up! And the Waffle pic? I think that would make a GREAT print. If you were to offer it in your etsy store, I think you would have some takers.

Esther Dee - Mr. Rambo….get a life!!! and this is coming from a non- American woman, yes, I am a Cuban lady. And furthermore, I wouldn’t give YOU one second of a chance if I could. I am probably your dream come true woman but your attitude alone would turn me OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Becky - Does anyone else find it ironic that John Rambo posted his comments on the blog of a gorgeous, servant-hearted, faith-filled American woman, who clearly has made a lovely home and who apparently cooks, cleans, teaches, etc- and loves her family well?! It’s like he wanted to be proved wrong by his comment’s context. Sheesh! And Lori in Iowa- haha, yes!

Janie Fox - John Rambo also commented on my blog. Since we are not allowed to comment on his, I deleted his comment. I am not sure what he looks like, but I suspect he is a 500 lb. man living in his mother’s basement. He clearly needs to realize HATE is a four letter word.

Dana D@BoysMyJoys - John Rambo… bahahahahaha!
I can see why he’d need a woman from another country!
God bless America- even loons are free to leave comments!
🙂
Happy Thursday, Meg!

Jacci - Meg,
I just had to say that after this post and what is possibly your 203rd photo of a sonic drink on this lovely blog – **I am taking my kids to our first happy hour today**. The food at Sonichas always grossed me out, and I’ve never caught on to what all the big woop is about, but I didn’t know about all the fun drink options until YOU enlightened me. I think I’ll get the Cranberry Limeade. Any chance you could let us in on some Duerksen family top pics from HH? 🙂 Thanks, Meg. And my kids are thanking you, too.

Sheryl - You who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
I am certain that there are women of any nationality that have issues, are overweight, don’t like to cook, etc etc. Just because I love a man who hasn’t done a load of laundry in 8 years doesn’t mean that no men do laundry. Goodness! It’s actually funny to think that way, with everyone in categories….

jerusalem - Oh John Rambo, you sweet talker you. I cannot believe you of all people have had such a bad experiance with American women.
I would expect they would swoon all over you.

Susan Bruner - I agree with Lori. Waffle is cute in glasse! I have a friend with Waffle’s twin…his name is Rainbow!

Jen - baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhahah Lori in Iowa. AMEN!
I’m sure he’ll only get the worst of the bunch no matter what country he’s looking in.

Jenny Joy - *snort* Lori in Iowa, I lurve you.

Lori in Iowa - Hey John Rambo, DON’T WORRY. American women think you’re an ass. We don’t want you either.

deborah@applesinwonderland - who knew waffle needed glasses? somebody obviously. 🙂

John Rambo - BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.
BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!

Mique - Hi Meg,
Late at night, was working on my blog and saw that I had a bazillion page views from you but could not figure it out! And then realized, it was on your sidebar- the Vday Robots. Thanks! (of course not my idea, but fun to be linked up to you nonetheless)
Also- WAY jealous of your craft weekend. Julie and I live an hourish away and still haven’t had that type of fun yet. Still haven’t met Heather in real life but am dying to!
AND you’re going to GoPro!?! SO exciting. I went to the first one & had a blast. I loooove Wendy & Tyler- give them a big hug and kiss for me.
How completely random is this comment? Go ahead and send it to Julie so she can laugh at it (Hi Julie!).
xo, Mique

Katy Frame - Oh, I am totally dying of cuteness from that picture of Annie looking at her “muscles”! She is too cute! 🙂
PS: If I come to your house, can we go to Sonic for happy hour? They closed the one in my town. Now, you’re probably thinking, “I’m sure there HAS to be a Sonic between Florida and Kansas”. Which is true. But I just need another excuse to come and craft with you! 😉

Valerie @ Chateau A La Mode - Waffle is waaay too cute! He should be in the movies.

Mindy Harris - i like the little PG married lovey talk you put into your posts. i definitely need the reminder to be more romantic with shawn.
when you mentioned about a craft retreat i knew the response would be out of this world. you are going to have to have an entire conference center reserved! and i will have to remind you who i am since you will be meeting so many people. 😉 (we don’t expect you to remember everyone, we just love you to pieces!)

Michelle B. - Annie so reminds me of Ramona Quimby!

crystal - LOVE the Waffle picture!!!! OMG, I just love that dog….I keep showing his pictures to my husband telling him that’s what I want…someday….when we get another dog, I hope my two lovies are around for a long long time, I do want a Waffle next though! How did you come up with his name? IT.IS.PERFECT.

Michelle from Australia - You could have a convention! Meg’s blog followers come to Kansas to craft. As long as we all get to meet Waffle, take in some of your favourite places to shop and eat, I think we’d be happy? And just think what we’d do for the Kansas economy!!

AshleyR - Waffle is my Favorite BLOG DOG!!! 🙂

merlin - More than 870 folks want to spend a weekend crafting with you!! How does that feel? Is that crazy? I can’t decide if knowing this makes me want to be a blogger or to never blog. That is A LOT of folks! Don’t you think that is a lot of people?

Dana D@BoysMyJoys - Don’t you just love those ‘mystery pictures’ that appear on your camera?!?!
I once had several shots of the toilet flushing show up.
The next week we had to call the plummer.
Lord only knows what one of my children was flushing and photographing while flushing.
Oh well, at least I’m growing some little ‘photographers’.

Ali - Ok, I had to come out of lurkdom to say that your daughter working out is the cutest thing I’ve seen all day. Also, forget the craft weekend, can I come live in your craft room? My 4 month old will come too. My husband tells me that he won’t allow it, but I’m still waiting to hear from you.
Hypothetically yours,
-Ali

Courtney - I’m loving your daughter’s shirt (and all the fun Jayhawk stuff in the background on the walls). 🙂

Flower Patch Farmgirl - I just saw “Wednesday” on my blogroll and snickered. I really did snicker. Alone, on the couch. Please don’t stop the titles. Do it for me. Do it forever.

amy cloud - Megan, the next time you are in lawrence we should have coffee! Amy klaassen Cloud

tara pollard pakosta - great shot of waffle!
love annie working out!
and I think you are pretty darn cool too!
xoxo
tara

Lisa - I read your blog everyday…you crack me up on a daily basis, but today’s photo of Waffle made my day!!!! 🙂

Tania K - Wednesday. Afternoon (check out my clever titles!)
Anyhow….Waffle is just so perfect 🙂
What kind of stove do you have? My hubby is looking for one and relocated on the island…any suggestions?
Thanks!

jennifer - Or bet instead of bed. Either way. 🙂

jennifer - I think you should charge a fee to come to “Craft Kansas” and I bed you’d make enough money to build a well. Or at least get a good start on one. Just a thought…

candace - liking the everyday posts.
maybe annie will go around asking people if they got their tickets. tickets to the gun show.
couldn’t help it. sorry.

Maria - omg. I am in giggles over the waffle picture. Love that it showed up randomly on your camera too.
Very clever post title. 😀

lauren - mrs. duersen… that’s hot. 😉 i love when funny pics show up on my camera. waffle is rockin those glasses. 🙂 happy wednesdaay. 🙂

Tracey @7294cottageway.blogspot - Hey Meg, Love the dog…wanna trade? I sent you an e-mail…hope you got it!

Courtney McIlwain - OMG I love the picture of Waffle. I want to print it out and hang it on my wall. He is so cute!!!

Karina - I was wondering how many of us would want to come over…870 would be a tad crowded! Maybe we could do a virtual craft meet of some kind…?
Waffle is stylin’ in those glasses.

Toni :O) - OMG, anytime you post a picture of your adorable dog, I can’t help but laugh…that just cracked me up out loud! I needed that so thank you! My kids are on a fitness kick as well…preparing them for the Physical Fitness test next month is why they are all gung ho. Yay for Sonic…Cherry Dr. Pepper is sooooo yummy and is my fav there!

Tracy Fisher - Meg, I loved your post about craft day… I want in… pick me…pick me! I feel like I am 12! But I couldn’t comment because I am day late as usual.. and it is closed. Also love the part about Valentines Day. I am sure my kids are confused why their friends get really expensive gifts on that day. We get chocolate and cards.. and I get tulips. We tell the kids that’s the way we’ve always done it… since we were poor(er). And you know what? They don’t seem to mind. :).

Julie Weaver - When my husband and I were dating he tried to get me to call him Mr. Weaver. I then found out when his parents were dating his dad tried to get his mom to call him Mr. Weaver. Ha. Funny guys.
My four year old daughter was showing me her muscles the other day. It’s just so darn cute.

Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Well “Mrs.Duerksen” if you’d like to enter some great giveaways head on over to my blog this week. Right now there are a pair of grey mum earrings up for grabs from April @ Funky Vintage Kitchen.
I recently found your blog and already wish I lived in Kansas b/c you and I would be like peas & carrots(or chocolate & peanut butter in my love language, which is treats:))

annie - that last picture of annie is just precious!

Michelle - Meg, your Christmas craft week really brought me back to crafting more, I just love it! My boys are 3 and 1 and they LOVE to do silly and fun crafts 🙂
Annie is a doll 🙂 makes me really really want a little girl! We’ll see if it’s in Gods plans 🙂
Have a fantabulous Wednesday!

Jessie - I love your blog, you make everything seem just happy and fun. I would LOVE to get crafty with you all. I usually do just painting, but I am dying to do some serious crafting! I will have to keep tabs on your crafts, they are the best!

purejoy - yep. laugh out loudness over that crazy waffle. and your kids. you are a blessed mom. can’t wait for thursday. seriously

Courtney Walsh - hahahah. Annie’s pumping iron picture cracked me up. With a little Waffle on top, I was rolling.
Hi-larious.
You’re such a good mom. Field trips. Ugh. I know. Not very festive of me.

ashley jensen - My daughter(3yrs) loves to take pictures since I am always taking pics. I can’t wait until I can find little surprise pictures on my camera.

Jen Brandt - LOVE Waffle’s picture! What a keeper. The dog AND the picture!

kasey - damn…and i so wanted to show everyone how to properly use a glue gun.
Oh well….
Maybe i can just come and drink wine.
I’m good at that also.
