I confess...I have a very hard time being thankful on Thanksgiving. I have knots in my stomach. I just want it to be over.
whew. yesterday was rough. i'm a lot better today. except for oozing garlic. but that will pass. My mom is coming home tomorrow, I confess I'm quite nervous. I realize it's what we've all been working towards and what …
Garlic.

I had a strange acquaintance once who loved to eat raw garlic every day. This was not just a habit learned for when coming down with a cold...this person LOVED it. Sometimes I saw this person eat several cloves twice a …
Milk. *updated*

Sorry this is really long. If you don't want to hear about health stuff, don't read this. *edit* Reasons to consume raw milk: Raw milk is Nature’s perfect food and is extremely important for the developing…
UGH

So, the money shows up back in my account and I can't figure out why there is so much in there (what a great problem to have!!)...and I just got a confirmation on my order, and they said it was charged to my account but…
I am getting stressed out. There are too many criss-crossing transactions and I don't know how to straighten it all out. I want to throw up.
I might not actually have overdrawn... oh I hope!
I overdrew the bank account today...well, at least, I am responsible for it overdrafting today...by like a dollar or two. I didn't realize the car insurance was going through today, and it did before I got to the bank t…
A few things you should know about me..

Sometimes I think it is interesting the things we define ourselves by. Here is just a few things that come to my mind about myself...in no particular order: I like to eat. Often. I love going for long walks...either…
Is it too impractical to be healthy?

So it's probably mostly mental...but, ever since I have been reverting to natural products and limiting artificial products both that I ingest and applied to my skin, I just feel...more healthy and well, more natural. …
...a childhood fancy? or a childlike wonder?

I think I had forgotten how much I loved being outside. I probably spent the majority of my childhood outside - and a lot of my free time after that - until somewhere between the humidity and bugs of Texas and the damp,…
Prayer Requests and Updates

Since the summer, my dad's car hasn't been working. . No one can figure out what is wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with the engine or the motor that we can tell, but when you start the car it only runs for about …
My Body Hurts. Help.

I have been struggling with my health for the greater part of 5 years or so, the latter half being the worst, and the last year has been dramatically the worst of them all. I can probably count on one hand the total amo…
Today I got to spend the day alone for the first time in a while. It was refreshing. I know, I got too used to being alone before, and being around people all of the time should not be such a trial for me. I am working …
Caught Between Truth and Tolerance

I admit that when I was younger, I was quite sheltered...well, perhaps naive is a better word. Oh, if I could go back and change some of my childhood responses when confronted with sin in someone's life. The truth is, I…
Nothing.

I have so much on my mind...and yet I can't spit any of it out on paper. I have been trying for days to write something slightly substantial, and I feel like every time I sit down to write, my brain freezes over and I a…
More House pics

I added some more pictures to the House Album. Come see!
My favorite Season at it's best

We are in between chills in the weather. It is expected to come again this weekend...but for now, it is picturesque fall weather...and I'm about to get out and enjoy some of it :)
What is Sin?

Accepting Junk into our lives

I hate junk. Almost to a fault I think. I have probably thrown away tons of things that I could have potentially used later, but I cannot stand clutter. I don't exactly know when this happened, because I never seemed t…
