| Supersaturated. . . Solution? |
| 2008-07-23 15:25:00 |
If you’ve ever taken a high school chemistry course or even a general science course in junior high you are familiar with the term “supersaturated solution”. Who hasn’t done the experiment with dissolving loads and loads of salt or sugar in water and then dropping in a string to watch crystals form from the excess [...]...

| Evil Among Us, 1: What’s the Fascination with The Occult? |
| 2008-07-15 05:10:40 |
This will be my first in a series of posts examining this question and the origins of popular occult practices.
The word occult can mean something as simple as being hidden from view. When used as a noun as in the phrase The Occult the word takes on a whole new more sinister and deeper meaning. [...]...

| What is Fibromyalgia? |
| 2008-07-13 11:06:38 |
I ask this because I really don’t know.
My mother has been fighting against a seemingly unidentifiable immune disorder for many years. She is unable to eat sugar in almost all it’s forms which for a fruit lover is torture. It was scary growing up having to be her “babysitter”; having to make sure she didn’t [...]...

| Will Daddy come for the tea party? |
| 2008-07-11 11:06:36 |
Monday afternoon we called Daddy at the office after Yeyda’s nap. She was in a good mood and made sure to say hi to her cousin and both uncles that work there. Daddy brought up something about her “castle” in the back yard. A couple of months ago on a trip to Cabela’s we bought [...]...

| Watch me morph into Jessica Alba |
| 2008-07-07 12:57:02 |
This feature of MyHeritage may end my days of thinking I’m ugly. I think that Jessica Alba is a very attractive woman and if I even slightly resemble her how can I be ugly? Oh well, that will at least get me by on my worst days. I’ve also been told that [...]...

| What’s Your Favorite Sales Widget? |
| 2008-06-29 16:57:45 |
I’ve been parousing the variety of Wordpress compatible widgets available across the web for sales via a blog lately. It really is difficult to decide which will be best to use. So, I decided to write this post to get your opinions. There are many blogs out there, I’ve noticed, that use some kind of [...]...

| When You’re Money Ahead Something Bad Will Happen |
| 2008-06-21 15:57:12 |
This is something that my father-in-law used to say to my husband when he was young. Sure enough we got a slap in the face today when my husband deposited his check. Our savings account was doing pretty good. We had gotten a hold of our spending and had planned to use the savings to [...]...

| Married 8 years today - what a roller coaster ride |
| 2008-06-17 10:04:13 |
When you plan to get married, by choice as most of us in developed countries do, you think of bliss and fun and companionship forever. What we don’t count on is the stress involved in merging two personalities, habits, routines, money, closets and other stuff. Not to mention that it can be difficult [...]...

| I’m momma to a little bean |
| 2008-05-30 11:59:52 |
We went to the OB/GYN on Wednesday and got to see our baby for the first time. We are proud parents of a lima bean - at least that is what the baby looks like right now. It is incredible though that the doc was able to show me the little one’s heart beat already. [...]...

| Protect Your Family While Blogging |
| 2008-05-23 17:17:31 |
After a few months on the Entrecard circuit I’ve noticed one thing - there is a plethora of people willing to divulge every little detail about their lives, even their children’s lives. I’ve done my fair share of sharing, but not enough to make me feel exposed or vulnerable to anyone out there who [...]...

| Sowing Seeds of Love |

Over the past few weeks since I started my workout routine I had a feeling that something was up. If you’ve read my blog posts from the beginning you’ll find some irony in what I’m about to tell you.
After a few weeks of sickness - stomach ache, nausea, shakiness - I discovered that I was [...]...

| Most Disgusting Restaurant Offerings, #1 |
| 2008-05-15 10:07:31 |
I’ve been reading many blogs lately about food. Everyone talks about the foods they love and the best meals they’ve had. Given the fact that right now nothing sounds good to me, not even my favorite foods, it gave me the idea to blog about the worst food offerings. I don’t consider myself a picky [...]...

I’ve been entering all sorts of contests this morning. Guess that’s what happens when you have to get up at 5:30 in the morning to send your hubby off to Columbus and can’t go back to sleep. Anywho, Pink Lemonade of Life is sponsoring a sweepstakes and giving away a lot of neat [...]...

I listed my blogs today on the Million Blog List. The point of the site is to see how long it will take to get oen million blogs to list themselves on their site. They started their listing on April 10th and are already very close to 1400. Not bad for less [...]...

| I’m Late. . . |
| 2008-05-03 03:15:00 |
These two little words can conjure up feelings of ire, fear or elation. Isn’t it amazing how powerful language can be given the circumstances in which it’s used. Let’s examine:
- “I’m late. . . for work. A raccoon bit my tire and I spun out of control and ended up in the ditch!” Yeah, whatever. [...]...

| Teaching a Toddler to Read |
| 2008-05-01 11:50:10 |
My little one will be 2 1/2 in a couple of weeks. She loves it when I read to her, telling stories and playing like any normal toddler. I’m focusing in more on teaching her the basic necessities of life: reading, counting, being polite, sharing, etc., etc. Not at all an easy task. I must [...]...

| People Must Really Love Their Cats |
| 2008-04-30 10:53:14 |
I’ve noticed in the past few days scouring throught the unending variety of blogs across the internet that there are a lot of people that simply, purely, undeniably LOVE their pets - especially cats. If you look through the collection of icons on Entercard a good portion of them feature a cat. As someone who [...]...

| Days 21-22: Constant Nausea Putting Kybash on Plan |
| 2008-04-28 21:18:36 |
Sunday morning I did my darndest to get up early and exercise. I got through half of my slim-in-6 workout before I noticed that I had to stop to get ready for church… Or I’d be late - AGAIN. We did good and made it during the first song and before the opening [...]...

| Coffee House Crisis |
| 2008-04-28 11:32:00 |
As we have all seen recently the price of gasoline has put a pinch on everyone. We all still have to go to work, but we all don’t need our morning latte (maybe just a regular coffee with cream). My sister-in-law runs a small coffee house with two locations and with the price [...]...

I don’t know what happened Thursday. The morning was good, I played with Yeyda and ate a good, healthy lunch. About an hour after lunch I thought I was going to vomit. I was so naucious. It felt like someone was twisting my guts in opposite directions. I lay down [...]...

| Days 14 - 17: Trying to get back on the horse |
| 2008-04-23 21:22:36 |
Ever been horseback riding? It’s not my favorite past time. I’m short, fat and uncoordinated and being on the back of a large creature whose girth is wider than your knees can stretch is rather uncomfortable. These past few days that is what exercise has felt like to me.
On Sunday, day 14, [...]...

| From Fresh Air to Cow Crap |
| 2008-04-22 07:20:02 |
This morning I had actually forgotten it was Earth Day (and my in-laws 51st anniversary, yikes!). Last night when we got home the house was a balmy 73 degrees F - a little too warm for sleeping. We turned off the furnace, opened the windows and turned on the fan. It got [...]...

| Days 12 & 13: Discouraged, depressed and distracted |
| 2008-04-20 06:45:46 |
The discomfort I felt on Day 11 after not getting enough fuel to effectively complete my workouts or my day left me feeling limp and uninterested in exercise on day 12. It depressed me a bit because I thought that I’d found my achilles heel that I’d never lose weight. Then I remembered [...]...

I’ve searched the Internet far and wide in recent days seeking out a way to get paid for all the time I spend blogging. Also, I wanted a way to make money that would not cheat my readers of the joy of reading my blog (if it gives you joy). My aim is not to [...]...

| EARTHQUAKE!!! Did you feel it? |
| 2008-04-18 06:33:33 |
This morning about 5:35 a.m. my husband and I were awakened by the sound of clanging lamps and rattling bottles. He asked, “What is that?” and I told him I had no idea, but it felt like a herd of elephants was stampeding through the field. Next thing he says is, “It’s gotta [...]...

New SparkPeople Nutritional Plan

| Day 10: Just joined SparkPeople a FREE weight loss plan site |
| 2008-04-16 20:02:54 |
I just joined SparkPeople after seeing their link on a fellow blogger’s site.
It looks like a really cool site and may just be the extra push I need (Oh, and did I mention it’s FREE).
After logging in they calculated my BMI (Body Mass Index). At 5′2″ tall and 190 pounds I am officially obese [...]...

| DAY 9: Weigh In Day with a Surprise |
| 2008-04-15 22:17:51 |
It’s day 9. Woo hoo, made it one more day. Today I actually took my little dvd player (which is dying and doesn’t have a working remote anymore) outside so my little girl could play while I exercised. The patio boards are old and the paint is worn off so it made for good traction [...]...

It’s day 8 and I’m still at it even after a day of rest. Today I started on the Slim in 6 routine with Debbie Seebers of Beach Body. I thought maybe I’d have to break it down into 2 workouts throughout the day, but I was able to power through and felt [...]...
