Poor, Poor Blog…

I have been neglecting you, I know.

I’m sorry.

I have been busy, to the point of borderline insanity at times.

And at others bored to the same point. because I have been able to do nothing but sit on my fat lard butt and do absolutely nothing because of these debilitating migraines I have been getting. It’s really quite annoying, I assure you.

But, at some point, school will start back up and camps will slow. And hopefully, these migraines will eventually go away and I can have my life back.

There are so many things I would like to do here on the ol’ bloggaroo!! I would like to maybe start a weekly meme (if i could get some participation that is, hello out there…..), maybe host a few giveaways. I have done some in the past, but not many. I really want to do some cool stuff here, but haven’t had the time or the drive to do it lately.

But, I have a feeling things are gonna get better soon!!! So, hang on to your undies, it’s about to get wild all up and around in here ya’ll!! Stay tuned!!!

Doing The Hard Work…

Since starting a new “diet” (it isn’t really a diet, so much as a healthier lifestyle) last fall and then stopping it around the holidays, I have lost weight and gained it back and lost some again…

I have had similar results in the past. I have struggled for about 16 years or so I have finally just come to the point where I am tired of it all. I am going to make the change and not go back. I am changing my eating habits and getting more exercise and I am going to make those changes permanent.

I got to thinking, after reading some lipozene reviews, that I don’t want anything artificial or chemical in my body to help me loose weight. Because I cannot imagine that the weight loss will be permanent, and I don’t want to have to take a weight loss drug for the rest of my life.

I want to eat right and exercise and be healthy. In doing so, as long as my body needs to, it will shed weight. And when it no longer needs to, it will stop. Now, I am not saying I will never enjoy a candy bar or a piece of cake, but on a day-to-day basis, I will consciously make an effort to choose healthy foods that will not cause me to gain unnecessary weight.

I am also going to make a concerted effort to get more exercise. I will not be running any marathons any time soon or even working out for hours a day, but I will be getting some form of exercise, hopefully, daily.

Do you need to get healthy? Have any tips on getting healthy? Do you have a great healthy recipe you would like to share?? Have any ideas on how to get me moving??? Leave me a comment!!!

Insurance, Schminsurance!! =)

I have done some posts about life insurance before and I have stated that many people don’t carry life insurance on their children. I think in most cases, people probably just don’t think about it. In some cases,though, I think people don’t want to think about it!! What about you? Do you carry life insurance on your children?? Do you have any on your spouse or yourself?

Life Insurance is something we don’t like to think or talk about, because we feel in some way that it makes dying more real or that it might jinx us in some silly way. I think it’s necessary, though,because the cost of EVERYTHING is so high!!

Carry On!! =)

Dropping calls….

Posted by Jo on April 28, 2010 None comments

I get cell reception almost everywhere. Even in the basement of my old church, which is saying something. I used to have one of the top cellphone companies for my provider and I didn’t get that good of reception! But I do notice that if I am in some obscure place, way out tin the boonies, I do lose bars and sometimes service altogether, occasionally dropping a call. I am wondering if a cell phone booster would solve that problem?? Does anyone know if that would do the trick??

AWOL!! :)

Getting the best…

Buster and I recently had to go to our insurance agent and get some new auto insurance quotes because we sold one of our vehicles and lost our multi-car policy. We wanted to make sure we couldn’t get a better deal through another company. We have our home and truck insured by the same company because we ended up paying like $10 more but got a life insurance policy on each of us and a little better coverage on our home by switching to another company!! How awesome is that?

Blessings….

Insurance…

I know most of us pay house insurance and car insurance. Some pay for health insurance…but how many of us think about rv insurance?? I mean, really. Isn’t an RV covered under house insurance?? Probably only if it is parked at your home and maybe not even then!! I know hubby and I had a car burn when a family members garage went up in flames and his insurance wouldn’t pay any of the replacement for it because it was insurable on it’s own, might be something to think about!!

WP fixed the problem….

Heaven is a Wonderful Place!!

If you could have God’s promise that YOU would go right to HEAVEN when you die, would you take it??

Let me show YOU how YOU can have This Promise!!

ALL HAVE SINNED

ROMANS 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.

ROMANS 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

GOD’S PRICE ON SIN

ROMANS 6:23 A For the wages of sin is death.

THERE ARE TWO DEATHS

REVELATION 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

OUR WAY OUT

ROMANS 5:8-9 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

GOD’S PERSONAL PROMISE

ROMANS 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Take God at his word and claim His promise for your salvation. Bow you head right now and sincerely ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and to save your soul. Saying a prayer does not save you!! You must believe what the Bible says and mean it in your heart to be saved!!!

ROMANS 10:9-11 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture sayeth, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.

Once you are eternally saved, you are always eternally saved…

HEBREWS 13:5B…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

If you have read this and accepted Christ as your personal Savior, CONGRATULATIONS on getting that taken care of, you’ll be so glad you did!! Please leave your name in a comment so that I can pray for you !!! And also find yourself a good, Bible (King James) preaching Church where you can grow in your faith!!

God Bless!!

If you don’t need this message, but know someone who does, feel free to link them to this or just tell them about the blog post!! It is important that every person get this taken care BEFORE it is too late. We often think we have all the time in the world, what’s the rush?? My son was killed in an auto-accident at 10 (He asked the Lord to be his Savior when he was 7)!! We have no guarantee of how long we have on this earth, we need to spread the word!!

AND

Wordless Wednesday…an Angie Production

Today’s Tribute goes out to the wonderful hair stylist at Walmart (I know, don’t judge me) who did my hair Sunday!! I LOVE it!! Hey, we were there, I needed a trim and they are the cheapest around!! Anyway…she was great. She knew just what I needed for my face shape and my thin hair, the whole nine yards.

This is what I ended up with folks…not too Shabby…..

So, thanks Walmart Salon girl…if only I knew your name, I could make you famous (lol, yeah right!!)

Tuesday’s Tribute…

Today I pay tribute to Puffs and Kleenex. They keep me from having a dripping wet nose and also from sneezing all over anyone who comes within 3 feet of me!! **blows her nose**

Thanks to you for making those pillowy soft nose wipers I have come to depend on these days. The only problem I have is the red irritation that comes soon after the 100th nose blow of the day! Let’s see if you all can work on that, shall we?? **blows her nose**

Maybe you guys could just come up with a system that I can just hook up to all day long that will suction out all of the snot for me while I get on with my life. I’m just sayin’. **blows her nose**
