Well I'm finshed with my new site, at least for now!!

I've been working on my newest site for a while now and have finally finished it where I'm not ashamed of people going there to have a look around. If you want to go and see what I've been doing, the url is www.naturalyhealthy.com and it's the first site I've completely done on my own. Yes, I'm bragging again!

I also want t apologize for not posting anything here in a while because of it. I've kept up the work that's needed to run the program from this end, but have let this slide to hurry and finish the new site, which I probably shouldn't have done. Now that's it's done, I should be posting away. I hope you'll come visit to read them.

I hope your days are filled with God's blessings. If you ever need a friend to talk to, I'll be here.

Valentine's Day... What a Joke!!!

Okay, before any of you assume that I'm just another single person that hates Valentine's Day, let me enlighten you. I have been married for almost 20 years now, and to the same man on top of that. The reason I dislike this day is because people have made it the one day that you are supposed to go out of you way to show your love or affection for people you care about. What about the other 364 days that are left? Are we supposed to just let them go as if they don't exist? My husband and I have never celebrated Valentine's Day in all the years that we've been married. That probably sounds weird to some of you, but we both believe that you should show your love everyday of the year. Here's another reason why we don't fool with celebrating this day. One year, I wanted to have every color of wild morning glory planted in the yard. I was able to find everyone except white. My husband saw one growing on the side of the road and brought it home to me that evening. That was the sweetest thing in my opinion. It didn't cost anything, except just long enough to dig it up. I was really touched by that. And yes, he was able to keep it alive all day even though he had taken it to work with him. I'll be the first to admit that he doesn't do things like that often, but when he does, it means more to me than anything he could have bought!!! I guess I'm just old fashioned like that, I would rather my husband spend some time and get me something I really want instead of spending money on things that usually get put up only to be gotten out on occasion. And yes, the flower did die come fall as it was supposed to, but I was able to get some seeds from it and was able to keep that memory alive for several more years. Why celebrate one day a year that we love each other when we can celebrate everyday that we love each other? Doesn't that make more sense? To me Valentine's Day is a way to force someone to show they care. I would much rather it be spontaneous. I'm sure not everyone agrees with me, but that's okay. I would much rather not celebrate Valentine's Day and have my husband do stuff like that for me when I least expect it. It ends up meaning more to me in the long run!

Okay, I'll get off my soap box for now and with you a great day. May God's blessings always be with you.

Just a little info

Have you ever booked your hotel room through one of those supposed discount sites? My husband and I are planning our vacation now even though it's months away. I went to those sites and after a lot of time looking, I found that I can usually get a better deal going through the hotel's site that I'm interested in staying at. For example, last year we went to Panama City Beach and ended up saving almost $10 by going through www.hojo.com This year, I found that most of the discount sites charged more than the hotel's site again, usually only a few cents but it's still cheaper not to go through them. Don't get me wrong, I actually did find one site that had one cheaper rate, but they had all been booked. Go figure!!!

Now on to another matter. I'm designing myself a new site. I'll be selling some of the best nutritional supplements on the market. I actually got my mom to try them and she loves them!!! I never thought I'd talk her into it, now she can't remember why she hasn't tried this stuff sooner. I have the name already set up and as soon as I get the site fixed, I'll be posting it here so you can go check it out. I promise, this stuff really works great. If you could hear all the testimonies that I've heard, you would be standing at my door beggin me to let you buy this. I've yet to hear anyone say a negative thing about these products, myself included.

Anyway, I'm going to go for now. I hope everyone has a great week. May God bless you all!!!

New Site to Check out!!!

I want you to know that this is the first time this has happened to me. Someone with a related site has actually come to me for a link. I was so thrilled. Plus with the place being in my home state, made me doubly proud to have a link to it on my site. Children's Rehabilitation Engineering Team I did go visit this site and found it to be a great place. The purpose the Children's Rehabilitation Engineering Team is to serve people with disabilities in the Alabama counties of Mobile, Baldwin, Choctaw, Clarke, Escambia, Monroe, and Washington by assisting them with their adaptive technology needs. And while I hate to admit it, this is something I haven't thought of. But then neither one of my children need this service. I'm just glad that someone out there did think of this and took measures to see it taken care of.

I hope everyone has a blessed day. May God always be with you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Well a new year is here. I won't go into my Christmas and New Year except to say that I had a great time and got a few things I wanted. I hope you can say the same thing.

I just had to tell you that I'm learning my paintshop program now, so maybe I can actually put out some pictures that I've done. I'm not learning this on my own though, I have a great friend helping my out. As soon as I find out the site where I signed up, I'll post it here. This gentleman that is helping me has been great and I'm sure if you sign up for one you will get the help you need as well.

I'm going to go for now, I have my nephew over here for the day and between him and my two boys, I have my hands full.

I hope you have a great 2005 and my God bless you always.

It's a Shame

As a child, one of the biggest thrills was riding around with my parents and seeing all the Christmas lights that people had put up. Now my husband and I have to take our children to Huntsville Botanical Garden's Galaxy of Lights just to see some Christmas decorations. At that time if you found one out of ten houses that didn't have some kind of decorations up, it was amazing, not if you find one in ten that does, it's surprising. What has caused this attitude about putting up lights to celebrate the Christmas season? Has this country become so politically correct that it's not considered cool anymore to decorate for Christmas? Even the White House doesn't call it a Christmas Tree anymore, it's a Holiday Tree. The Macy's Parade won't allow anything that shows a religious holiday, whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever. Don't you remember what it was like riding around looking at all the wonderful decorations that had been put up? Wasn't it so much fun? Do you remember what it was like showing your children the colorfull lights? Now I can't do this because of the attitude of most of the people now a days. Being willing to celebrate Christ's Birthday has become such a no-no. It should never have happened! I think it's a shame that this nation has forgotten just what we are supposed to be. We, as a nation, are so afraid of offending anyone that we've gone too far in the other direction. There's an old saying that if you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. That is what's going on. The really bad thing is that I was looking forward to showing my children some of the wonder I had as a child. Now because of the way we've become, I can't and it's a huge shame!!!

I'll get off my soap box for now, but I sincerely hope you have a Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your family always!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I had to take a few minutes to say Happy Thanksgiving. I hope today is everything you could wish.

God's blessings with you always, and if you have to travel, be safe.
