Dear Diary...     It has now been 10 years since my mom passed away. Every year it just shocks me that it has been so long since I last talked to her! There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you mom, or that I want to call you and tell you what the boys are up to, or call you and cry because something is wrong! You were my best friend, the one I could count on no matter what and you were taken from me way to early!     There is still no cure for the LAM Disease , I still get the mailings and at the end there is always a section of who has been lost, it pains me to see so many women passing away from a disease that has no cure, no real medicine to treat & that some women live with this disease and are never truly diagnosed!     CJ misses you terribly, he asks questions about you all the time, he remembers that you gave him your Lamb Chop, that is all he remembers though. He asks what you were like, how you sounded, what you liked too do. I w

"Honey!" screamed my husband from our bedroom, "you MUST check this out! "What is it?" I hollered back from the kitchen. "You’re not going to believe what I found when I was drilling a hole through the wall! I found a secret stash of bottles!" Just then my I heard my daughters voice hollering from the bathroom, "I’m trying to brush my teeth in here! Who the heck is drilling a hole through the medicine cabinet!?"

 A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, Genesis 3:10." Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I was naked." Thank you clean jokes.com

  Dear Diary... Just in case you have not read it on the blog, I am planning on having weight loss surgery! I am so close to having a surgery date I can taste it! I have a goal though, I want to be in onederland! I haven't been there in years! So my goal is to be there before my surgery date, which means I need to lose 24lbs.     I am frustrated though because the tendinitis in my left food is really bad anytime I start exercising and I really want to step it up! I go to the gym & I do the tire boot camp at my house. I am watching my calories and measuring everything I eat.     For me though this is a test, I know I shouldn't look at all the pounds in a short amount of time because everyone looses differently, but this is something that is really stuck in me, I don't want to give up this goal!     Today I did the exercise bike again because I couldn't do the elliptical yet, I wanted to go 40 minutes but it cut me off at 33, that's okay
