AWE--thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and just read through some of your posts..I really thought your post about being single forever was interesting. That is so lame that the men just cut off contact. I can see how frustrating that would be and see you rpoint of why even bother. God has a plan for you and I know you know that--but I bet he has a man for you that will love you for you no matter when you meet him.
We also have a lot in common after reading your 7 facts.I am a Christian, my grandparents were home missionaries for over 40 yrs, I love to sing and I teach 4 yr. olds at church!!
Looking forward to reading more..
Keelie
Thanks for the award! Who knew that I'd win an award for simply putting down random thoughts in a blog! Glad you enjoy it! By the way, what is a Body Bugg?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your award. I thanked you on my blog today for the award you gave me. Thanks again!

Krys - a Body Bugg is an electronic device that you wear and it tells you how many calories you have burned. It is what all the contestants on The Biggest Loser wear to help them and most of the ones that have kept it off have mentioned continuing to wear the Body Bugg. It really is a pretty cool tool =) google it and check it out. There are also different variations of it out there - as with most products.
ReplyDeletegreat job on burning those calories! I was wondering, is your step-daughter really your step daughter once you are no longer married to her father? I guess it depends a lot on how close that you were to her and how much time you spent together. I'm sure that must be really difficult. Keep up the good work. You'll meet your goal in no time. I want a body bugg.
ReplyDeleteTechnically - most people would probably say no..she's not.. however - her own mother had just died from cancer when I met her daddy and married him very soon after.. she and I formed a VERY close relationship. So much so - that I don't even consider her my STEPdaughter... but just my daughter..period.. she knows she is and always will be mine as far as I am concerned and that I will always and forever be here for her whenever she needs me or wants me. It's just that simple for me. As far as that goes - when my sons father and I divorced - I guess most people would say his mom was no longer my mother-in-law either..or his family was no longer a part of mine.. but I still talk to his mom every single day and I am very close to quite a few members of his family.. when I love someone - it is pretty genuine.. and it is hard to just remove that with a piece of paper =)
ReplyDeleteYou can lease/purchase a body bugg at the following url:

Be sure and tell Elizabeth I sent you tho if you decide to get one from her =)
Thanks
OK, I will. Maybe you will be closer with your stepdaughter when she is old enough or able to decide for herself without anyone stopping her.
ReplyDeleteyeah I think we probably will be closer as she gets older. We are pretty close now - I just don't get to spend time with her..kinda stinks..
