GOOD MORNING!

Wow, can you believe that I am actually posting on my blog?  I feel like a stranger in a strange land!  I just haven't had the time...or to be honest, the desire...to blog lately!  In fact, I thought about closing this space down, but I just can't bear to do it.  In the words of my dear friend Heidi, "It's just too much fun!"

The baby has gone back to bed...for a time, although I don't know how long that will be.  In fact, I think I might already hear my son getting her up again.  Oh well, I've made a quick appearance.  I'll have to try again later!

I have been using bloglines to try to catch up with some of you.  I will try to comment on some of your blogs later today.

Please visit Katie's blog at TeamBettendorf and read the recent posts about her little girl, Jillian.  She needs immediate and focused prayer!  Please add this family to your prayer list!

I am officially removing any and all info on my sidebar pertaining to the My Body, His Temple Weight Loss Challenge.  Thank you for all who went along on this journey with me.  It was not as successful as I had hoped.  I did lose 20 pounds, but with the holidays and a month-long road trip, I have since put about 10 back on!  Why is it so hard?  Anyway, back to the drawing board.  I think in the future I'll stick to short term contests...it really puttered out there in the end!  I didn't have any entries at all for the last couple of months.  Six months is a long time to committ to something, but I hope it was a little bit of encouragement to those of you who participated!

I'll be back later...hopefully with pictures!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!  Kiss your Sweeties today!
