One Weird Tip

I woke up this morning, rolled over in bed, peeked out the window at the snow and settled back in to stare at the ceiling and get my thoughts together for the day when this 'popped' into my head "What weird tip is it that melts away belly fat?"

Huh? Now why would I think of that? Except that it is one of the most frequent and obnoxious adds that pop-up while browsing the internet today!

And it's adds like this one, which remind me of the gimmick used by those exhibits at the fair in which a schmuck has to fork over a $1.00 to view the unicorn only to find out after paying that the unicorn is actually only a cow with a deformed horn.

Now, I have on occasion been a schmuck and paid the buck and saw the uni-horned cow but I make it a rule Not to click on any adds on the internet at anytime, Ever! As I am convinced that they are out to infect my computer or steal my identity or some other malicious trick, which is not a good thing! And seeing as though my husband is 'The Farmer of the DELLS' and I am an extension of him, so to speak, it would be a really Bad thing! Cause, you know, brilliant computer people are above being infected with such things! Heh heh heh *wink*~*nudge*

And so it is really annoying because, aside from being a buckless schmuck, you're left to wonder?

But because it was implanted into my brain upon awakening this morning I've been thinking about it and thought I would look into it.

So, what is the one weird tip for belly loss? According to sources on the net, the so-called "tip" is drinking lots of acai juice. Acai juice acts as sort of a cleanser to rid the body of unwanted weight. Unfortunately, as with most "cleansers", all the body tends to loose is water, which ends up coming back once you stop taking the juice.

So there, now I know... and so do you!

And it would be really weird for me to do a post without even one picture... so I thought beings we were talking 'fat' here I would include this 'fatbooth' picture of Webster.

And I highly doubt that is acai juice dripping from his... chin-s?
heh heh heh

Upwards and Onward!

Wow... as it would seem, I've been slacking when it comes to posting here lately! But it's just that I have been so busy through the holidays that I couldn't to do anything beyond the neccesities and then I kinda hung low for a little bit trying to recouperate.
But life has a way of going on and 'busy' never seems to cease and desist and 'busy'ness just switches gears and goes trundling on. So here we are in 2011... and 'Webster' has started playing basketball through Upwards Sports. It is a Christian based sports league which encompasses basketball, cheerleading, soccer and flag football. The emphasis isn't on the score but on learning teamwork and just having fun. And I love the fact that they include God in every practice and every game as they pray before the game starts and have devotions at half-time.

This is an except from their website on thier about page:

About Upward Sports

Upward Sports, the world’s largest Christian sports program for children, was created with a vision to provide the best sports experience possible for every child. Each year some one million people around the world play, coach, referee or volunteer in Upward Sports Leagues and Camps hosted by more than 2,400 churches. These churches have taken Upward Sports Programs to 67 countries on mission trips. Anyone – children and volunteers of any faith or no faith – can participate in Upward Sports. Specifically designed for children in K5- sixth grade, Upward Sports aims to bring out “the winner” in every child – regardless of the game’s score.

So here are a few pictures from Websters first game.

And then at half time there was a wonderful devotion about New years Resolutions!

I generally don't do such things anymore as I don't like to make rash decisions at the end of the year or feel like I am forced to make a commitment to something just because it is 'that' time of year again... but, there does seem to be one thing that appears to be a re-occuring desire every year and that is, I resolve to desolve the existing layer of fat that I have just accumulated over the holidays! Bah!

And this year is no different, although there seems to be a more urgent motive this time as it would seem that I have fallen a few years behind on actually succeeding!! So diet change, calorie counting and exercise are pressing hard in the forefront of my mind these days... *sigh*...

Hmmm... but I've heard cheerleading is really fun and good exercise...

I wonder if they would let me join in?

What? I like Pom Poms!!

Heh heh heh

On a more serious note... and as serious as I can be about New years resolutions because I really don't make them... the new year does bring about a symbolism of "newness"... it's a 'new' year... a 'new' beginning, and it does afford the perfect opportunity to begin something that needs a start date. And I suppose there is a bonus about doing it now because you'd have the whole year to get it done!
Now after saying that, I will say that I do have desires for this year, but it is the same for every year, and that is to be found in God's favor. In all that I do, I want to be pleasing to him because I want him to bless me, and keep me, and shine his face upon me and give me Peace... always!
And I want my confidence to be in Him so that in any situation I find myself I will trust that God is there with me and that He will never leave me and He will bring me through.

Though an army may encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident. One thing I have desired of the LORD that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple.
Psalm 27:3-4

A Random Post about Random Things...

This is what our road looks like in October.

This is a picture of Noah when he opened up his birthday gift from his favorite Aunty.

And this is what it was that he just opened... heh heh heh

She's great at finding perfect gifts like that... take this one for example...

She's pretty funny, eh?

She gave them to me last year after I had just battled with the Fleas from Hades all summer! And of course, I think everyone knows how much I Love ticks... NOT!

And this is a picture of my knuckle that I just burnt on our woodstove...
