Very good set of questions
Questions on both sides of the abortion question – and their answers
One *good* thing …
about having had the blood clots (and resulting leg-swelling for the duration of the pregnancy) — my legs look really skinny to me now! LOL!
Odd dream this morning
I dreamed I was sitting in the passenger seat of a car, waiting for Robby to transact some business. We were by a pond/lake. The car started moving, and I didn’t think anything of it, figuring someone had gotten in and started driving. When the front left corner of the car was in the water, I looked at the driver’s […]
In support of CHOICE:
My letter to Target, Wal-Mart, and Winn-Dixie: I recently received a letter from Planned Parenthood, asking me to write to you regarding your policy that allows your pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions if they so choose. PP wanted me to tell you it’s “outrageous” and “discrimination.” I am writing, but rather than writing a letter of objection, I am […]
Growing baby!
I weighed John Luke (via the weigh-me-and-add-him method) and he’s about 12 pounds now!!
Merry Christmas!!
and Happy Birthday, Jesus! Church was great this morning. My children did a special (piano, flute, voice) of O Come, O Come Emmanuel during the morning service. They did VERY well!

Days of Christmas
For several years now, we’ve done “12 Days of Christmas” – we got a couple nice things and a bunch of Dollar Tree type stuff, and the kids open one item a day instead of being overwhelmed with everything at once. This year, we weren’t going to do it, but my mom-in-law told me that Timmy (9) told her that […]
Christmas at church
Last night was our church’s Christmas fellowship party. It was a lot of fun, and I didn’t overeat (since most of the items were things NOT recommended when recovering/treating gall bladder issues). We played a pictionary-style game with two teams (and using the chalkboard) – ended up with a tie. It was definitely fun!
Gall bladder problems.
To the best of my knowledge (and research), it appears I had a gall bladder attack a couple days ago. That was NOT fun. Quite painful. Lasted nearly 12 hours. I’ve been “self treating” with beans (lots of fiber) based on This Article. So far I haven’t had a recurrence; I’m hoping and praying that I don’t!
“Truth through Google”
1- Go to www.google.com 2- Type in “french military victories”, without the quotes 3- Instead of hitting “Search” hit “I’m feeling Lucky” 4- Tell your friends before the people at Google fix it.
Today’s bits…
2-week doctor appointment today – everything is healing well. Baby’s cord stump is gone – it’s nice to not have to deal with that anymore.
Went to church today, and other observations
Since we went to Wal*Mart yesterday, we figured I really couldn’t get out of going to church today (hehehe)… so I bathed John Luke and dressed him in his cute little doggie-decorated footless sleeper outfit, and off we went! Since we are upstairs for Sunday School and Jr Church, it wasn’t a problem as far as “being around people” was […]
Weighty Matters
So I stepped on the scale the other morning, out of curiosity (mainly). Within the first few weeks of knowing I was pregnant, back in March, I had gotten to 215 (on my scale). I gained from there until I was about 230 (on my scale) just before John Luke was born. And now? 205
