Tired of water?

You already know that drinking water is key to your health. Downing at least six cups of water daily can minimize bloating, prevent headaches, help prevent you from getting sick and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. It may even temporarily rev your metabolism, if you drink it on the cool side (72 degrees).

Coffee, which some people accuse me of being addicted to, is basically liquid gold. It may lower your risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, breast cancer, skin cancer, diabetes, gallstones, even oral cancer. It's also linked to a reduced risk for depression.

Orange juice guards against heart disease. Just watch the sugars—one cup contains 21 grams and 122 calories.

Chamomile tea can keep you calm. Ease into mellow mode at night with a cup of chamomile tea.

Cranberry juice may prevent gum disease and urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice also delivers 39 percent of the daily value for vitamin C per 8 ounces, raises levels of good cholesterol and keeps your urinary tract tip-top.

Chocolate milk keeps your abs flat. A glass of skim chocolate milk delivers a great combo of carbs and protein, helping you recover after a workout. Simply stir 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder or syrup that has less than 20 g sugar into your milk and sip.

Green tea may keep your weight steady. Plus, the tea's plentiful stash of antioxidants slashes your risk for cancer and heart disease.

Black tea may help fend off skin cancer!

Tomato juice may lower your cancer risk!

Monday's Quote

"If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever." I love this quote! If you always watching cartoons with your children, you will recognize this quote! is by Winnie the POOH!

Faith

"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1

So very true :)

Happy Freakin’ Friday!!!

ROFL!!! Is it just me or has this week dragged? It seems like it’s taking forever to end. I woke up today thinkin’ it was Thursday so at least it’s a bonus for me to find out it’s Friday.)

Monday? Bah humbug…

TGIF

There I said it. Did you hear me screaming Monday?
This has been a hellish week and I’m personally glad it’s O-V-A-H.

Today I’m all mellow and calm…

Ugh!!

Woke up to the cat throwing up on the carpet....not exactly the way I wanted to start my day, especially before my first cup of coffee :(

Happy Humpday

..it is Humpday isn’t it?! LOL! My brain has gone into vacation mode.

Can someone please tell me where August went? All I know is that I woke up this morning & it was gone!

Went to town today...they have Christmas already out...it’s really difficult to get in the Christmas spirit in September, ya know?! ROFL!!

This cracked me right up!!

Got this in an email…

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.

There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.

Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”

Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

Mellow

Morning!!! Did you have a good weekend?

This weekend for me was perfect!!! I got some work done around the house, and bought groceries. Went shopping Saturday with Kris...visited with my fam...just enjoyed life :)

Lazy Sundays ROCK!!

Today I am restful. We have had a busy last few days and it’s nice to just stop and rest.

Friday already?

Where has this week gone?

Home Sweet Home

You don’t realize how sweet home is until you go away for a week. …even when you come back to a house that looks like a freakin’ BOMB went off in it. :) Kristin was cleaning her room and trying to finish putting up the last of the boxes from the move and didn’t finish. In all honesty it was just the entry way and hall, but you have to watch where you step when your heading to the bathroom.

And where did I go for a week…..to my sissys!!! Went to Lawton shopping, went to see Rob Lake Magic show, visited with the folks at Weatherford, all in all just had a awesome time.

Rolling into the weekend

I know it's still summer, but wow it has been so muggy and hot!! Not our normal thing at all.
I am not a summer person, at least not when it comes to this kind of summer, but the weatherman said it was going to be the second hottest year we've had...ugh :(

::later peeps::

It’s a zoo

I tell ya, it’s a zoo around here.

We’ve been busy enough but it’s LITERALLY a zoo.

Light

I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I might even get the living room where you can walk through it by the end of the day!!! Will miracles never seize...LOL

And I didn't even have to bribe, I mean sweet talk my sissy...

Housework...

I really DO NOT like housework (unless I'm getting paid to do it)..LOL

I need to mow the yard (and mow Mom's), vacuum and mop, clean the kitchen and bathroom and find a place to stick the "junk" I want to keep that's in the living room.

Sure wish the cleaning fairy would come see me :)

Wonder it I could sweet talk my sister into coming and helping me....good idea...will have to give her a call.

Rain

Another rainy day...we had thunder storms last night and this morning, so I spent most of the day napping on and off.

The only way to spend a rainy day :)


Later Peeps

Moving Home

Kris is going to move back home...Yeah!! I sure missed not getting to see her much after she moved out. Her rent is going up $100, over $500 a month for a little 2 bedroom apartment. The extra bedroom, she uses as an office, is big enough for a twin bed and a small dresser (the room is really small). Her bedroom has a full bed, a night stand and a bookcase.

We have been trying to clean out the attic so she can put all her things she wants to keep up there. It is really slow going...I can't get the plastic tubs up or down without help so we can only work on her 2 days off. Hopefully we will be able to finish before the first of August when her lease is up...lol.

I moved into her old room and she will be using mine (its bigger). We hauled 8 bags and 2 boxes of clothes and stuff to Salvation Army. Emptied out 10 plastic tubs, and still have 10 to 15 more to go. Not sure where all the junk came from. Everywhere you look in the house we have 1/2 full and empty tubs sitting.

We were wanting to paint the ceiling in the living room and repaint the bathroom, but at this rate school will be started before we can start. I would like to repaint my bedroom but that may have to wait for a while, being as everything that doesn't have a home seems to wind up in my room :(

Cats

The neighborhood is being over ran by CATS!!! The house next to me (OBU property) has 15 cats. 6 Adult cats and 9 Kittens, and guess where their litter-box is....MY Front Yard :(


The last time I had Travis he couldn't even play in the yard for all the cat crap, the minute you step out side you can smell the litterbox...ugggh.

I finally got fed up and called Larry Walker, he's in charge of all the rental property, he said he had drove by the house the other night and saw all the cats. Said he would take care of the problem. That was 3 weeks ago and guess what, I still have the cat problem!!! So much for OBU taking care of their problems.

Guess now I need to call Animal Control, not sure if they will do anything about it or not. If not I may look into getting one of those animal repellents.

Baby Perrish

Finally got some pictures of Perrish to post :) (Thanks Granny Franny for the pics)
