I know that I blessed in so Many ways that sometimes I just want to makesure that I refresh myself with a list...just in case I forget sometimes how good I really have it...that is when I start feeling sorry for myself and really hate to be around myself...:) ANYWAY:
*I love to go to church and worship God...I am glad that I am able to do this with no worries.
*I love my family! 1st my husband that I married 5 years ago (wow) and my parents who are responsible for my raisin' (I have to say they did a great job - thanks!) and all my other family...in-laws/cousins/aunts/uncles etc.
*I am glad I am not a money/thingy person...I would much rather have the time with my family then worrying about the $$ I might inherite when their gone...
*I love that I can get up and take a nice HOT shower...and go to work.
*I may complain, but that 40 minute drive to and from work gives my time to reflect on the day.
*I love that eventhough I don't have any babies of my own there are plenty for me to hold and love on...Eli and Robbie are the SWEETEST BABIES!
*I'm glad that my parents are one of the few that are still married and have only been married once and still get along...
*I love a house I can call HOME and it actually feel like home when I get there in the afternoons!
*I love that Rodney and I can go out and have a nice dinner (I don't have to cook!!!)
*I actually enjoy cleaning and organizing!!! - I feel like I have accomplished something after I am done ;)
*I'm glad I am me!!! I may want to lose a few pounds, but who doesn't and I may want bigger boobs, but again what girl doesn't...I may want a house full of kids, but who doesn't - but maybe I just want to have that house full of kids and then send them all home on a sugar high with their parents!!!!!!
Thanks for reading - love ya!

7 Reasons to Drink Green Tea - I DO & LOVE IT!
The steady stream of good news about green tea is getting so hard to ignore that even java junkies are beginning to sip mugs of the deceptively delicate brew. You'd think the daily dose of disease-fighting, inflammation-squelching antioxidants--long linked with heart protection--would be enough incentive, but wait, there's more! Lots more.
CUT YOUR CANCER RISK
Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants green tea's famous for - seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Study after study has found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, esophagus, colon, and/or prostate cancer.
SOOTHE YOUR SKIN
Got a cut, scrape, or bite, and a little leftover green tea? Soak a cotton pad in it. The tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Try it on inflamed breakouts and blemishes, sunburns, even puffy eyelids. And that's not all. In the lab, green tea helps block sun-triggered skin cancer, whether you drink it or apply it directly to the skin - which is why you're seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturizers.
STEADY YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
Having healthy blood pressure - meaning below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure.
PROTECT YOUR MEMORY, OR YOUR MOM'S
Green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Getting-up-there adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
STAY YOUNG
The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you are. So fight plaque build-up in your blood vessels, which ups the risk of heart disease and stroke, adds years to your biological age (or RealAge), and saps your energy too. How much green tea does this vital job take? About 10 ounces a day, which also deters your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol.
LOSE WEIGHT
Oh yeah, one more thing. Turns out that green tea speeds up your body's calorie-burning process. In the every-little-bit-counts department, this is good news!

Missing Husband!
MISSING HUSBAND...
Rick was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.
His wife was reallyAngry. She told him 'Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in theDriveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds, AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!'
The next morning Rick got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Rick has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.
