Anyone know this???
Posted on April 29, 2011100,000,000 useless points for whoever can tell me this…
Can you tell the difference between moissanite jewelry and diamond jewelry?? I have been told that some moissanite stone’s have more fire and sparkle than diamonds, but I am a bit skeptical.
I would be afraid they would get cloudy or dull like cubic zirconium do. And I definitely wouldn’t want to spend the kind of money they want for moissanite and have it turn cloudy!!
I also wonder if a moissanite stone would be as durable as a diamond.
These are just a couple of the things rattling around in my brain today…
Fishes…
Posted on April 30, 2010The camp we live/work at just put in a new waterfall, stream and pond. They have 10 or 12 gold fish they will be adding to it when it is completely done, which will be very soon!! I have already heard complaints about someone having to go up to camp all the time to feed the fish. AND it hasn’t even happened yet, LOL. Anyway, I came up with the perfect solution!!! We need one of those automatic fish feeders!! They come with timers on them that will automatically dispense food at a set time. How cool is that? Problem solved!!
We Have A Winner!!! :)

Oh My Goodness!!!
Posted on March 17, 2010So, I thought I was never gonna be able to blog again!!! Though most wouldn’t even notice, that would be very sad for me, because I love blogging!! I deleted code I needed while editing my theme, I guess, I’m still not sure what actually happened. Anyway, I am back up and running.
Here is what has happened since I last talked to you…
My sweet Jasmine went to live with a new family. We miss her tons, but this was the best thing for her and us. I think the hardest thing is when we come home and she isn’t here to greet us with all her excitement that we are home, it’s just the empty house.
Buster had hernia surgery yesterday, for the second time. Last time he threw up for three days after the surgery, which tore the stitches that repaired the hernia, so he got another one. So, when they fixed this one, they gave him meds that would help with nausea and they put a mesh screen in that would prevent it from happening again. He is very sore and tired, but he has no thrown up at all!! Praise the Lord for answered prayers!!
So that is what has been going on here…Don’t forget to enter my Giveaway !!
Flex Those Muscles…
Posted on March 11, 2010Someone wants the super pump 250 side effects to be exposed. Though I am not sure why they want this, I will make this post because I am nothing, if not efficient at my job!! After reading the article, I must say, I do think that some muscle mass is good, even for women, but some times I think we go a little too far. I mean, you want to have good muscle tone and all, but when you can lift/haul more than your man, honey, that’s a little too much!! That’s all I have to say about that!! LOL
Temper Tantrum~~ Look out!!
Posted on March 03, 2010Do you ever feel like just throwing a big ol ‘ temper tantrum when you don’t get your own way?? This is how I have been feeling for the last few days. Ever since I found out we are going to miss our Churches marriage retreat this year. Something we haven’t missed in almost 10 years. 10 years people!!! That’s a long time to be involved with something, ya know??
We have Pastor’s group coming in to use the camp for a retreat that Friday night through Saturday. Probably close to the same exact hours as the marriage retreat. When I first found out I was really mad. Then I went to being sad. I’m not sure exactly where I am at with it right at the moment. I go back and forth between being OK with it and being sad.
The reason, I think, for this is because when Buster and I first started attending our Church, our marriage was almost at an end. Literally. We had all but come out and said “I’m done” to each other. The spring after we started attending FBC, we went on a marriage retreat with the Church. It wasn’t our Churches retreat, it was Preacher’s son-in-law’s Churches retreat that our Church got invited to. That retreat SAVED our marriage.
Since then our Church has started our own annual marriage retreat. And Buster and I have attended every one of them. Not because our marriage is in peril anymore, but so it doesn’t become so!! Marriage is hard work and you have to put a lot of effort into it sometimes. Sometimes it is easy and others, not so much!!!
So, anyway, so I can stop rambling, I will get to my point. I was looking forward to going to the retreat this year and now I will not be able to go.
**Throws herself on the floor and screams**
**Yells at the top of her lungs,”It’s not fair”**
**Stomps her feet in disapproval**
OK, now that I’m done throwing a temper tantrum I will remind myself and you that we don’t always get what we want. Sometimes God has other plans. Even when we don’t understand why, we have to realize God is still in control and knows what is best. And even if I have to miss this retreat, I am going to be thankful God has brought me to camp and given me this GREAT opportunity to serve Him and others!! I wouldn’t change being here for anything!! God has been so good to me and my family and I thank Him for it!!
Beating a Dead Horse?
Posted on February 20, 2010So do all my (2) readers think I’m beating a dead horse here?? (for you PETA people, no horses were actually harmed during the writing/composing of this post) I am still looking for a natural wrinkle treatment, that I can AFFORD!! This is like DEFCON 5 or 10 (or whatever the highest one is, lol) people!!! I refuse to age gracefully!! I am going to fight it tooth and nail, folks, tooth and nail!! Plus, I am far too young to be having this many wrinkles/laugh lines, puffy eyes, etc. !! I am only 34 29 , for the love of pie!! HELP!!! I may or may not be being mellow-dramatic here LOL.
Diet Pills, Schmiet Pills
Posted on February 13, 2010As you know, if you have ever read my blog before, that is, I am not a big advocate of taking drugs to lose weight. But have seen the commercials on TV for the top rated diet pills, and the women and men who get on there and say they have lost tons of weight, blah blah blah. I wonder how much they get paid to say all that stuff. And do these “miracle drugs” really work or do they just say they do for money?? HHhhhmmm???
Total Randomness…
Posted on January 29, 2010To take a phrase from a new friend of mine…
I’ll give 1,000,000 (totally useless) points to the first person to guess what I am talking about in the next few sentences…
- You can get them in many shapes and sizes…
- You can them illuminated or non-illuminated…
- Full size or mini…
- Appliance or Surf N’ Turf…
Anyone? Anyone?? Anyone???
I’m talking about rocker switches people!! Anyone care to guess what those are?? Come on, all you smarties out there…leave your guesses in the comments ( no cheating!!)

Hormone Replacement For Men??????
Posted on January 21, 2010I have never in all of my 34 years ever heard of this. When I had my hysterectomy a few years back, they told me all about Hormone Replacement Therapy, but I didn’t know men could use it. What is it, like a testosterone booster?? That’s the only thing I can think of that a guy would need. I’m sure they have small amounts of other hormones, but I guess I really don’t know that much about it…Things that make you say HHHmmm??
Blessings….
Extra Security??
Posted on January 04, 2010Since Buster and I live out in the middle of no where on a “no outlet” road, I don’t think we need to worry about such things as wireless security systems. I never really thought we had a need for one anyway, though. We locked our doors and night and slept with a loaded gun under the mattress….who needs more security than that. Settle down, settle down, I was kidding…..or was I????
Quick Family Update…
Posted on October 23, 2009Well, as you may or may not know….depending on how often you visit, I haven’t posted for almost a week. I did my Menu Plan Monday, then nothing. That is because on Tuesday I found out, after being on the brink of death sick for 5 weeks, I have pneumonia. I did not have pneumonia that long, but I had been sick on and off for that long. Dr. said it isn’t the worst case he has seen, or even close, but he was glad I came in when I did so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.
So after two days in bed on the couch per Dr.’s orders, I still felt like death warmed over. And still today I am not feeling 100%. Not even 75% truth be told. I feel like I’m running at about 45-50%. I hope this doesn’t last long!!! And if I don’t quit coughing, I am going to have a melt-down!!! So pray for a speedy recovery, would you please??
Also, please pray for pumpkin_seed, as she fights a virus this week, she is finally not running a fever!!
