Listen up peeps, I have a LOT to talk about.....

You might want to sit down and relax, I have a few things to share with you this morning. I have hot coffee and....well.....hot coffee??? LOL I would offer you some donuts, but there are none in this house, hubby and I are on a sort of a diet, just watching what we eat, cutting out snacks etc. I do miss a good donut, maple preferably....mmmmmm. 

  Anyway, come in and sit with me a bit, I have to tell you about my book. I finished it last night and I have no words to describe how much I enjoyed it. Lori Wick is one of my favorite Christian writers and she definitely delivers. 

My review for "The Proposal" is up on my Book Blog.....I think you all would love this book and I'm so eager to read the others in The English Garden Series. Now since we're talking books, I want to point you in the direction of another great Christian writer, Donna Fleischer. She is a retired Air Force Vet and a Christian Book Writer and I'm thrilled to have found her through my dear friend Eden, she was discussing the book "Wounded Healer" from Donna's "Homeland Heroes" Series, and I thought "now THIS is a series I could really get into". 

Being a military wife I have a special affinity for anything military related and love a good book, so what's better than both in one huh??? After visiting Donna's blog, I found that she is offering a free book to all military or military spouses. All you need to do is go visit her at her blog, and then email her, she'll pop the book in the mail for you, AND she signs it too :) Of course you can also order her books, which I plan on doing too. I'm sure I won't be able to just stop at Wounded Healer. So if you get a chance, go on over and say hi. 

 

I managed to go around and leave comments on almost all my favorite blogs, unfortunately Blogger is ONCE AGAIN PMSing and it was painful yesterday and the day before. How frustrating, I understand it's free and all, but come on, at least work right. If I didn't make it to you yesterday, never fear, I'm on my way again right after I'm done here. (did that just rhyme? lol) I have to tell you, I started feeling really sick yesterday afternoon, I was kinda of light headed, running a fever and felt nauseous. It felt like I had a bad cold, which doesn't surprise me, I know I still do and even though I'm taking medicine for it, it's not budging, I think the 4º weather every morning is not helping either.  

 

BUT, for some reason I got it into my head that maybe I was pregnant.....yeah my brain goes totally stupid on me at times. Then I start thinking that there's no way I can be pregnant because I have an IUD (too much info? lol), but remember nothing is ever 100% so that just gets my mind working overtime. 

 

If I'm pregnant that means I get to put on all this weight again, no wait, I have a trip to Africa planned for July this would interfere with that and there is no other time we can go.....but if I'm pregnant that means I have to go through the bittersweet moments again, then I remember the miscarriages and then I remember that I'm getting too old to be pregnant and my body can't handle it anymore. 

 

 I tell you, I got myself into such a state that I ended up with a pounding headache and then I thought "WHAT THE HECK are you doing?"...."why are you worrying about something that is not even happening?" So I gave it to God, yes I did, uh huh, and I am mighty proud of myself because I didn't snatch it back either....I was too sick and overwhelmed to deal with it and honestly, I didn't WANT to think about it anymore. 

 

He gladly took it off my hands and now even though I still feel sick, I am no longer driving myself nutty thinking about little bambinos in my stomach. Curt just laughs at me through all this because he knows how paranoid I get....when I told him I didn't feel well and maybe I was pregnant, he just laughed and said "Ummm yeah you don't feel well because you're SICK not pregnant". LOL 

 

Thanks honey, you always know JUST what to say!!! So it's saturday morning, I'm sitting here chatting to you all, Jasmine is on the other computer playing a game and Nic is watching Blue's Clues. Curt is at the gym, he is going everyday and he tells me that he feels so much better and is really enjoying it. Then he says to me the other day "why don't you start coming with me?". I'm sorry, I'm a girl and when someone TELLS me that maybe I should go to the gym, I instantly get defensive and annoyed....are you telling me I NEED to go? 

 

Does that mean I'm fat, is that a nice way of telling me I could loose some weight? Meanwhile he's standing there with this look on his face like I've lost it LOL Apparently he just wanted me to go with him because they have a place for the kids to play at......silly Sandra!!! I really want to go but I'm one of those people that feels embarassed. 

 

 I could loose about 5 pounds, but that means I actually HAVE to go to the gym, and then people will look at me and I'll feel self conscious. What is it with me??? I swear at times I wonder if I should have just been born a hermit....never seeing the light of day and never having to interact with humans LOL 

 

YES I'm in a weird mood today, I'm sure you can tell, well those that have stuck with me this far, I'm sure I scared some off the minute I mentioned IUD.....I hope there weren't any guys lurking, they'll never be back LOL Anyway, I think I've babbled enough, I'll let you all go before I waste the sanity you have. Here's to a great saturday, stay warm and Laura honey, I hope I the snow has stopped coming down. God Bless, 

 

 

 

Dinner tonight is Feijoada, you can get the recipe off my food blog. I love this meal because it reminds me of Portugal AND it's really filling too. 

 

 

 

Whatever I can find, weekends are HORRIBLE when it comes to TV, unless you have a good movie to watch you're pretty much left with nothing on. I might just go read instead of watching tv.
