    Lost art of proper relaxation

    My dad writes letters. But he's 75. He doesn't understand those godless computer-machines.

    Lost art of proper relaxation

    I'm looking at a HUGE skeeter on the outside of my patio glass right now. That door is not opening today.

    Lost art of proper relaxation

    OK, I always want to rent, unless I get married to a handy guy. I don't think my health issues would let me do all those home projects. Lizzie, you are amazing.

    Lost art of proper relaxation

    Lizzie, I wish I had a storm door. I do have double panel patio doors, but the front door is just the one and the weather stripping comes off every year when the door gets frozen to the frame and I have to force it open (you know, on those days when it's in the single digits). Why did I move...

    What's for Dinner?

    Last night I broke down and spent $8 on sugar-free ice cream because that's what I've really been wanting. But I do really like eating a pudding pop slowly while I read online or watch a movie.

    Lost art of proper relaxation

    That reminds me of my grandparents' houses in Florida. They each had porch swings also. I have to say that when I relax I should be open to interaction, but I'm not. Interaction is my whole job for 8.5 hours and it exhausts me. I need alone time to regroup. And yet, because I really am a...

    Dressing Down For Church Has Gone Too Far, CNN Article

    It was good of you to try to give hime the benefit of the doubt. I do have a friend who is a single mom in school and working 2 jobs, one of which is often an overnight shift into Sunday. When we have morning service, she comes in what she was wearing overnight rather than being late. She...

    What's for Dinner?

    OK, so get a package of white chocolate instant pudding (I use sugar-free). Prepare it with 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon mint extract and 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract. Pour into a popsicle mold (8 divisions) and freeze. If you want to dip them in...

    What's for Dinner?

    I ended up using blue cheese. Now I'm actually having a mint pudding pop and some chocolate chips. Yum. Will make cookies later.

    What's in your lunch box?

    I hate jobs where I sit all day. I'm on my feet all day. I just can't lift anything more than 10 lbs, though, due to an unstable spine. I hate that. I really like walking outside for miles. I tried jogging and it literally caused me pain in my neck. I could blow out a disc, so I have to be...

    What's in your lunch box?

    I don't think it's necessarily totally about burning calories. The body deals with each macronutrient differently and it has a lot to do with hormones like insulin. We've learned a lot by studying diabetes. But yeah, you can't eat just thousands of calories a day and stay slim either...

    What's in your lunch box?

    I'm a firm believer in watching carbohydrate levels, not being afraid of fat, and avoiding added sugars like the plague. I know newer studies need to be done, but I think it will all come out in the wash. I'm with you on the snacking. I was eating constantly last year, but I realize now it...

    Dressing Down For Church Has Gone Too Far, CNN Article

    True, but there are so many examples of how the first century church lived as family, meeting together constantly. And not being part of a fellowship makes it hard to live out all the "one another" scriptures, of which there are many. There are reasons I miss a service here and there (mostly...

    What's for Dinner?

    I saw a sign on a restaurant, so I'm going to make chik'n with some kind of cheese sauce and bac'n, I think. It sounded good. I think I'll have a wedge salad, too. Dessert is peanut butter cookies again because I'm absolutely obsessed.

    Your meals always sound fabulous and contain things I'm not supposed to eat. :(

    This is my relaxation.

    What's for Dinner?

    I had a late lunch so dinner is really going to be dessert: peanut butter cookies. I might make some kind of smoothie also.

    Any other curly girls in here?

    Thank you for posting; it helps to see that one can go reletively authentic with natural hair. It looks nice.

    Any other curly girls in here?

    For those of you who set your hair regularly, do you ever just let it go curly and maybe style the front, like in finger waves or rolls? I did that yesterday and really liked it. I often wonder if the curly ladies did that to save time. I never really see pictures of it, save Clara Bow, with...

    Dressing Down For Church Has Gone Too Far, CNN Article

    I can see both sides of this. I basically have 3 wardrobes: work, home, and public. The public is in between super-casual and dressy and that's what I wear grocery shopping or to church. It's still dressier than what my friends sometimes wear. In fact, what I wear always stands out anyway...
