what a beautiful rose thanks kevin
i like your jibjab rockinroll card, cool beans dude haha

Thanks for the roses and well wishes for the new Century 2010.
I have come to the conclusion that 1999-2009 was hell on earth and
I am so happy it is the start of a new life, new beginnings new everthing that is old in my life.
I had hoped to be moved from this town by now
maybe a mystical, illogical, fantasy of meeting someone to fall deeply inlove with and move away with....
Litlle did I know 2 years ago when I allowed my ex to move back in with me after 10 years of being apart and divorced, that we would spend 2 years of push and pull relationshiping our life which today has turned into
something new and awesome....

It will be interesting to see what transpires into the next new year
and possible new century together.
May you all have a grand new year even if it is with the old, that can too be new :)

Hi! I live south of Ft. Scott, Ks down in southeast corner of Kansas..i have lost 46 pounds in about 5-6 yrs. So may be able to give you some help on that one. I tried every diet imaginable. Finally, went to web site calorie-count.com fill out questionare they come back with calories you can eat to stay the same weight or calories you can eat to lose a safe 1 to 2 pounds per week..Also another site that is VERY helpful is Realage. com again take questionare and they come back with about 6 pages of do's and things that will improve your realage score.Also things you are doing right and things that you are doing not-so-right.These sites are 100% free, no money required ever..Here is what i do( in a nutshell) eat anything i want only watch portions/cals..(very important) eat 1-2 50 to 100 calorie snacks morning and afternoon, drink green tea..Never (unless i forget to eat my snacks) let yourself feel hungry...Why? When your body feels hungry your body quits burning cals..that is the idea with alwys snacking cause just digesting food takes cals..If you eat 100 cals. it take approx. 50cals just to digest it..Also this keeps your blood sugar level at an even level so you are less likely to overeat..I also ride a bike in 60 degree and better days but you can do anything for exercise you want there are exercise tables on those sites i mentioned..

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!
My kids were here for the firstr time in 8 years both together at the same time, for Christmas Eve!!
My ex is living here again (ex number 2) he was my kids step dad, and drunk while they were small....
so alot of healing needed to take place to get to where we are today. Some words were said a year and half ago which I thought might bring total inilation to our family life but, with prayer and love we have come thru it.
Our family was in tact on Christmas Eve and it was good :)

I dont know where my ex and I are headed, we seemed to have lost that "lovein feelin" and Im not sure it will ever come back, but, we are at least friends, and at least civil to each other. I have watched the commercials tor
for : "Its complicated" and most probably could be us 2 years ago when he first moved back in....then over the course of 2 years he has moved out twice this time, rather defeated and resigned at knowing he has messed up his life so much that he cannot even get a decent job here in this town. My committment to love and honor our marrage vows was brought back to me in a prayer one night.

It was a reminder that I took him for better or worse back in 1984 and God gave me grace to walk out when things were at the very worse, but my love for him never left, and my committment to stand by him has always been there, he had to realize that I was still there even tho I left to keep my own sanity....


We are both working on our health and trying to get our strength and ability to move forward together.
We will see what next year brings....
but for now my committment to 010110 challenge is fresh, new and exciting for the first time i see a reason to hope for tomrorow.....

I have a new eating plan, no grains, no sugars, no dairy, and no fruits except berries.
now...to be able to stick with it, after eating "normal foods" over Christmas my body is achy and crying for the new eating to come back and stay....
does anyone have any good vegetable recipes, salads only go so far before im craving something cooked....
i miss the creaminess of cream in my dandelion drink
and the tortilla with my eggs in the morning....other wise im doing ok....

hope everyone has hada good Christmas too!

hugs and loves Ruby

We had 2 inches of snow in Houston last Friday. We normaly only have snow once every ten years. Now two years in a row. What happened to global warming?

, did you get snow? we got about 3-4 inches hardly enough to be proud of :P

haha thanks

'Dear Lord:

Thank you for bringing me to Timmy's house, and not Michael Vick's--Amen!'

November the 18th is the 10-year anniversary of the deadly Aggie bonfire that left 12 students dead.

Texas A&M students traditionally constructed a 59-foot tower of logs for the school's annual bonfire. It was a celebration of the school's big football game against their arch-rival, the University of Texas Longhorns.

On November 18, 1999, the tower was poorly constructed. It collapsed, killing a dozen students.

Mornin' Cin ! ( I just like saying ' sin ' hehe )
