*Tear*

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Remember this post???  Well, the shoes were not wide enough for my chubby little feet, so I am sending for a different style and if those don’t work, I’ll have to try something else entirely!!  Stay tuned…..

Family camp is amazing, I knew it would be.   Buster and pumpkin_seed and I went for a walk today on the Creation Trail, looked for items on our scavenger hunt list and sweat to death!!! And we also had really yummy french bread subs for lunch!!! I sang a solo in Chapel this morning (ugh) and we are all just having a good time!!!

Hope your week is going great, too….

Writing just to “hear” myself… =)

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I realize that people don’t pay any attention to what I write on here anymore….cause I never get any comments!!! So I am just gonna ramble on just because I can.

Apparently peoples don’t care about asbestos cancer or cell boosters or diet pills or where to go to compare life insurance. But I will continue to write about such things until I can’t anymore because I am a glutton for punishment.  And as I type , I often say what I am typing out loud and let’s face it.  I like to hear myself talk!! NOT!!!

Carry On!! =)

The things we do to ourselves….

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

It could just be me, but it seems like there are an awful lot of weight loss pills out on the market these days.  I hate to talk about something no one wants to hear about, but I think this speaks volumes about the society we live in today.

Years ago, there weren’t many diet pills out there, or least they weren’t talked about so much.  People wanted to lose weight, they changed their diet and exercised more.  Our “microwave”, instant, I want it now mentality makes us do some crazy stuff!! 

For instance, take pills that could potentially be harmful if not used correctly, or in themselves just be dangerous!!  People today want results right now, or why bother.  I must confess I, too get this way especially about weight loss.  I become discouraged very easily and don’t like to wait to see those pounds being shed!!!  

Carry On =)

Camp is upon us!!

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

So, it’s that time of year again.  Camp season.  Our first “official” camp comes in on Monday.  The camps thus far have really just been workers getting camp ready for camp…does that make sense?? =)

Anyway, I have to get menu’s ready and last minute preparations done before Monday.  So, I probably won’t be on a lot.  I will do my paid stuff and I do have a review/GIVEAWAY coming up, but I won’t have a lot of spare time to peruse my bloggy friends stuff, although I will try to see what everyone has going on!!

Carry On!! =)

some people….

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

why is it that some people just have to make a federal offense out of EVERYTHING???? you try to be nice and even compliment someone, and the first thing they do is criticize and lash out.  why can’t they just be thankful for the compliment and leave it at that??

instead they have to dwell on the negative and tear you down over something stupid!! i just don’t understand.  i feel like no matter what i do, its’ always going to be wrong, as it always has been in the past.  you just can’t please some people no matter how hard you try.  i thought since i am being whiny, i would add this little poll to my sidebar…look way over there on the right side, keep looking, its over there—————————————————————>

please vote!! :)

a little getaway and some thoughts…

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

so chuck and i are going away this weekend.  we have a wedding to go to in ann arbor.  we are going with another couple and all the kids are staying home.  though i miss pumpkin_seed when she isn’t with me, i do love some one-on-one time alone with buster!!  we will be leaving tomorrow around noon and getting home late saturday evening.  can’t wait, it’s gonna be so much fun!!  what are your plans for the weekend????

i know some of my friends are going to “the shack” for a marriage retreat this weekend.  this will be the first one we have missed in ten years!! so sad we won’t be going, but hopefully the church we are attending now will start one up very soon!!

i do miss all my friends from FBC but i don’t think friends are a good a reason to stay at a church, especially when God is calling you elsewhere!!  i am hoping all my friends understand that!! we aren’t mad at anyone  or upset…we just feel like we can serve the Lord better somewhere else!

someone wise told me that my real friends will still be my friends and keep in touch and we’ll spend time together and the others will think about me and pray for me and say hi when they see me, but go on with their lives without me…..it pains me to think that any of my “friends” would only do that latter, but i have seen it already and it makes me very sad!!  but God knows my heart and buster’s and he knows we just want to serve him to the best of our abilities and that is enough for me!

hope your weekend is great….will try to get my “foodie friday” to post for tomorrow, if it doesn’t work , i probably won’t be on here til  sunday!! til then, i will miss you …

Foodie Friday!! WEEK 2!!

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

I thought it would be a great idea to start a meme of my very own.  To be a part of this meme simply visit your favorite family, recipe, home, etc. blog and find a recipe you want to try OR it can just be a new recipe you are trying from anywhere!  Try the recipe (make sure to take pictures and make note of any tips you find useful while making it) at home.    Then blog about it (if it is from another blog, you could add a link to the original post if you wanted).  It’s that simple.  Once you post on your blog, come on over and link up for my weekly “Foodie Friday” Meme!!!

I was a little concerned about Mr. Linky misbehaving last week, but he has proved to be  a very good boy (so far) …lol…so on we go!!  I FORGOT to take pictures this week peeps……I am ashamed!!

So, without further ado, I bring you (drum roll please)…

Bacon Wrapped Venison

What you need:

  • 1 -2 lbs lb of your favorite bacon
  • Itialian Salad Dressing, just enough to cover venison when put in a large baggy to marinate
  • 1-2 lbs of  venison butterfly chops or steaks
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • tooth picks

What to do:

  • put venison into a large baggy or any container
  • add enough Italian dressing to cover meat
  • marinate at least 4 hours, but can be left in fridge overnight for even better flavor
  • take meat out of dressing, cut into small(ish) strips and season to taste with salt and pepper
  • cut bacon strips in half
  • wrap each piece of venison with half piece of bacon, securing with toothpick
  • cook on hot grill until bacon is done to suit your liking

ENJOY!!

Now for the Meme part.  Link up below with your post.  Please comment after linking up!!! Thanks for joining me for Foodie Friday!!!

Talking about weight loss AGAIN!!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

I know I talk about weight loss a lot on here, and a lot of you are sick of it, but it’s something I struggle with, therefore I think about it A LOT.  And what I think about a lot, I seem blog about a lot.  Just sayin’…  I think we could ALL benefit to learn more about how be healthier. Not all of us need to lose weight, but I’m sure all of us could be a little (or in my case,  A LOT) healthier!!  Good diet, exercise, good sleep habits, it all helps!
