Well, I had my surgery as planned all went well, except for that throwing up thing after anesthesia. I tried to tell them, they gave me phenergan 3 times, plus a couple of other things, but it just didn't work. My doctor was able to remove all cysts, and hopefully they won't come back. I've never been a size A before--NEVER! It feels great. I didn't think I would ever begin to feel better, but I

Life has taken over my life. I haven't blogged in quite some time. I'm feeling the need to try to express myself, but without having to deal with anyone face to face. I just want to feel what I'm feeling, work through it with my Lord and Savior, and move on in my life. Hopefully after having done so, I will experience a better quality of life. I am having breast surgery on Tuesday, October 25.

Today's post comes from a vibrant young enthusiastic writer~ my daughter. She writes some awesome stuff (no, I'm not biased, trust me, you will agree) and I am proud to feature a post from her on my blog. If you get a chance swing over to her blog at http://echoessilencepatienceandgrace.com Choosing My Own Way Of Life echoessilencepatienceandgrace | March 2, 2011 at 7:24 pm |

Okay, so my Saturday 9 is quickly becoming my Monday Morning Memes.I can't figure out how to get subscribed to the Saturday 9 so that the questions are sent to me. So I go to my friend Kristen's blog and copy the questions from her blog. How lame is that? Sorry, I just don't know much about computers or the web. Heck, it's a miracle that I'm able to blog, even as rare as that is. Here are this

 The above picture is of my version of the Fairy House from Tinkerbell's movie, "The Great Fairy Rescue". I made this for a sweet little girl that I babysit that turned 4 on Monday. I can't wait to give it to her today when she comes over! I know the pic is a little blurry, my son took it with his phone, but if you click on it to open as a file it should get larger for you to view. Let me know

1. What celebrity do you think is the MOST foolish? It is kinda hard for me to judge that since I don't personally know any celebrity's and I know things in the media get blown out of proportion. But I will say after watching several shows of Jon and Kate plus 8, Dancing with the Stars 2010 (which totally turned me off from that season) and Sarah Palin's Alaska -the episode with Kate Gosselin,

In an effort to get myself to blogging a bit more, I've signed up with Saturday 9. Now I know today is not Saturday, and I will probably be late again in the future. But hey, it's a start. Here are the 9 questions from this past Saturday. 1. Have you ever been to Japan? If not would you like to travel there? As a matter of fact, I have. I was born in Tokyo, Japan~~don't get too thrilled for me,

Well, as I said before, I'm not that great at being a consistent blogger. In the time since I last blogged, I moved my daughter to Atlanta, spent 3 1/2 weeks crying about it every day, she decided it wasn't for her so she moved back home (happy dance - AND it was on my Birthday!!). She is now enrolled in online college courses, we've done almost all we need to do for the Christmas Holidays, and

Collective, not Random I've been giving some thought to the idea of  "Random Thoughts". I think I've changed my mind. To speak/write randomly is to do so without purpose or meaning. The things I write/say here and in other areas of my life, I want to have purpose and meaning. I want to think before I speak/write. That was how I was raised. To live randomly is to live without purpose or meaning.

 Grounds in My Coffee So obviously I'm not that great with keeping up with a blog. My life is either busier than I realize or I'm lazier than I realize, probably a combination of the two. In less than a weeks time, I will be packing my oldest daughter up to move to another city. My first born is leaving the nest. I know it's a necessary thing, but I still don't have to like it. I remember the

Sometimes we just have to sit back and take a break from it all. Although, I have taken a break from blogging, it doesn't seem as though I've really had a break. Actually, I've gotten a lot done. We recently took a sort of mini-vacation to visit my aunt in Charlotte. It was anything but a rest. We were constantly on the go. But it was still fun. We took the kids to the largest mall any of us

I recently had the opportunity to review two products that are all natural, green and from a renewable resource. That makes me feel good just to use all those words in one sentence! The products I  am referring to are Soap Nuts and a bar of soap from BuySoapNuts.com . Now if you haven't heard of Soap Nuts, well, don't count yourself in the dark. I've just started hearing/reading more about them

Some of you may not know this, but I have a soap box. Tonight, I've decided to step up on it for a bit. So if you've never heard of a peach on a soap box, here it is. I recently had a topic brought to my attention once again. The idea of returning food items that had not been used for a refund on said items. My aunt and I as well as my daughter and I have had this conversation quite a bit in the

Can I get a Woot-Woot!! I just won a free giveaway from miamimommysavings.com! I'm so excited! This is my first win ever! It was an Emergency Supply kit from the NYC Ad council. Check it out if you like over at her site. I have some things in the works to start some reviews and giveaways of my own. So stop in occasionally to check them out! But for now, I'm going to go do the happy dance.

Today is Labor Day. Usually around my house that means as little labor as possible on this fine holiday. I love having an extra day, to not have to plan to do anything, and to almost have a day off. Well, I am a homemaker and that is virtually an oxymoron. There is no such thing as a day off when you are AT your WORKPLACE, virtually 24/7. I do plan to do a few things. Wash a load of towels,

Okay, I'm fairly new to this bloggin stuff. So bear with me while I try to build it up, share a little about what's on my mind, maybe a recipe or two (oh yeah, we're totally changing the way we eat, I'll tell ya more about that later), and let's not forget my occasional soap box (I try to keep it tucked in the corner, but the darn thing just keeps sneaking out).
