Good read!

I love to read!  


Love it,  and a friend brought this book to me on Friday, and yes, I am finished.

An awesome book!  


One of those, Things that make you go, hmmmmm.

Finished!

It started out in the beginning looking like this.

Made her over to look like this.

Decided to light it up, so now it looks like this.

Don't you just love it?


Linking up Here!

They just keep on coming!

Today when we went to check on our little kids, we found a brand new one.

Awwwww!

Look what the stork brought us!

Lent

Tomorrow begins the first day of Lent.


I have to admit that I have never been one of those people that gives anything up for Lent.  Not really, I think last year I was doing the 40 bags for 40 days purge.  But that isn't really a sacrifice.  That's more of a spring cleaning.  Unless you are giving away things that you truly, truly love.  Then it's a sacrifice.


But the more I think about it the more I feel like I really need to be doing something, anything, to mark Lent this year.


A friend pointed me to this post on Lent.

Great, great, great post.  


So, after reading that I thought to myself, what can I do to bring myself closer to God this Easter season.  So here's what I decided.


I am going to pray 3 times a day.   (Three specific times.)


I will read my bible everyday.  No exceptions!  


Each day as I pray, there will be one person that I focus that days' prayers on.  


Might not seem like much, but it's all about relationship.


What will you do?

Happy Valentines Day!

Coming soon. . . .

A makeover to the makeover.


Can't wait to show you the results.

Which would you rather have?

Hershey Bar cake

Or

Bread

The last time I went for my physical I was told that my cholesterol had lowered enough that if I wanted to, I could quit taking my medicine for 6 months to see how it did.


After my blood work came back I decided to give it a try.


So, knowing that I am not getting the medicine I once was I have been trying to watch what I eat and really be careful of how much sugar and starches I have been eating.


Last night I had a meeting at church and Mr. Wonderful had a meeting at work so when we finally came home all famished and tired we ate sandwiches and some soup/chowder that a friend had made and given to us.


I am a little ashamed to tell you that I had some artisan bread for my sandwich, and I ate my sandwich and 3 extra pieces of that bread.


I figured I ate half the loaf.


Pitiful isn't it.


So now you know just one of my weaknesses.
