Detox - ????

Okay - I've heard over and over about "Detox"!  CAN be a disgusting topic - cleansing your system (ALL systems) - getting more energy, starting off a weight loss regime, helping your allergies, etc etc.  Soooooo......I decided (through Bill's moral support) to give this ole "Detox" a try and see what the results are.

Today I went to the Health Food store and spoke with a health food person and they helped me pick out "Total Body Rapid Cleanse" by Renew Life.  It is a 3 part - 7 day program.  I am going to document what I am going through for seven days.....and the resulting factor.  I think it is about time we ALL know what all the fuss is about "DETOX".

  

God Grew Tired of Us

Last night Bill and I watched a documentary (from Netflix) called "God Grew Tired of Us".  It was about the Lost Boys of Sudan.  It touched our hearts so much......I wasn't aware that this was happening.  I asked Bill, "What do we do with this information now?"  One answer - be aware.....be aware of our brother/sister walking next to us.  It doesn't matter their ethnicity or culture.....we, as Christians, need to show compassion, understanding, caring......just say hello.   

Catch up - no pics

Ok - I know people like to look at pictures - I know I do...but I have just been lazy.  Here are my thoughts:

1. My hair is finally getting longer - I love it.  Will never go short again.  So weird because I LOVE short hair - but I guess as I get older and with less hair - it's not the same.

2. I am looking for a part-time job so we can get a car.  Harder to find a fun part time job than a full time job.  I just applied to be a front person with LA Fitness.  We'll see.  That would be fun.  I want fun.

3.  The OU game is on tonight - Yeah!  But - I just can't cheer for OU (sorry Lauren) - so I am cheering for THE BIG TWELVE (which OU is representing - which should have been UT representing.  Again, sorry Lauren)

4.  All this fighting in the gaza - makes me so sad.   How do I even pray about that?

5. Tomorrow I am having lunch with my neighbor ladies, later in the month is wine night with the ladies.  I love my neighbor ladies. :)

6.  I miss my boys in Missouri.

7. Jonathan will be living with us this summer while he does his internship in Dallas.  Now THAT makes me happy. :)

8.  I just found out that Bill doesn't like the word "funky" - which is one of my favorite words that I use all the time - because I am all about the FUNK!    Anyway - I got myself a new pair of "f....y" glasses!  Yeah!  :)

Two Handsome Men

Having lunch the day before Christmas with Will and Jonathan and Bill.

Can it get much better than this?

Conversations with a squirrel

Heard chattering between animals outside  - went out and this is what I found.  Kayla and a squirrel were having a conversation.  Who knows what they were talking about....probably a little bit of teasing, some "I dare you" maybe.

Love Bugs

Last night Bill called me to hear the "tree frog" that was somewhere on our porch.  It sounded just like my sound machine I listen to.  I tried to find it - putting my ear wherever I heard the "chirping".  But it sounded like it was right next to my ear on the brick wall.  So we turned on the light and below is what we saw.

It was one of those little green bugs - and we could see it rubbing it's tiny thin wings together making a chirping sound.  Lo and behold - all of a sudden another green bug of the opposite sex (we couldn't tell which was  male and which was female - although we thought the one rubbing his wings was the male) came crawling up to him and they began their little dance.

So amazing to see it all take place.......  well....maybe not "Amazing" - just interesting.  Hmmm...

Thanksgiving 08

What fun we had - eating, visiting, sleeping, eating, vegging, laughing, teasing, enjoying the blessings of Thanksgiving!

As with any visit - the day must be started with a wrestling match!

Jonathan and Colby (dear friend of the family)

Then, the inevitable - Leaving - Whaaaaaaaa!
