ATTACK OF TEH VEGGIES...

ok...since i last typed...

on the food front - i have really dropped the ball...i have been working on rehabing a bus (pictures below)...not eating till 9 or later and eating mostly nuggets for dinner...

on the exercise front - rehabing a bus will remind one of all the muscles that you lost or forgot about...so its not formal exercise but it is working me...the exercise class that i am supposed to be starting - well i have a sign up sheet out and we will see...should be starting in july....

on the hormone front - the new meds are working i think...the headaches are an issue and if i am still having them in a couple of weeks we might have to change them and start again with a new one...oh joy...

on the home front - right now clint is sick with sinus'...yuk...the girls are great and the house is a mess - im not home to cook or clean...

if we pass inspection today on the bus - on monday i will be driving about 45 kids to michigan and dropping them at camp and then going back up on friday and getting them...

other than that not much going on...trying to keep up with the journals (if ive missed yours, just let me know)

this is the new floors that we laid down...we had to pull the old floor, sand the rust, primer and lay new metal...once that was welded in this is the finished rubber that was laid down...

this is after we have sanded and primered the outside of the bus...it is two toned red with primer right now...

getting ready to start painting...this is the first brush stroke...

this is the blue at this point the other side is not painted yet...

hopefully this will show a side by side...

so my life in a nut shell has been the above captioned bus...more later...thanks for reading

i havent posted a journal in awhile - a couple of reasons but the main one is that everything has stayed the same - still working on the hormones and calcium levels to get them fixed so that i can make a dent in the weight loss area...i am maintaining while the hormones flux - just not able to lose

and after what the doc said about being in control of the weight or the hormone's and having to make that choice - i feel i am doing well...

on another front - when i was gone about a month or so ago - i went to a Women of Faith meeting for the weekend...while i was there - i did a typical julie thing (read anal) and counted for the couple of days the extremely obese ratio of women to the normal size (around a 12 or so) the ratio was over 6 to 1...i quit counting...

i got the feeling that that was not the example that God wants us christians to set for the world - that being said i know alot of my buddies here are not God christians and if you want to stop reading i totally understand...

one of the things i am dealing with is that im feeling led to start and exercise group in my church - i hate (read HATE) to be infront of people and what kind of example am i to be if i cannot control my hormones and my weight at the same time...however when GOD knocks you in the head you kinda have to listen...this is the other reason i have not posted a journal in awhile - i havent figured out how to post without sounding redundant...lol...

I Got this email today and wanted to pass it on...

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and suffering that I have seen...

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God exists.'

'Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?

If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.' The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.

Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber:

'You know what? Barbers do not exist.'
'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber.
'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!'
'No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.'

'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.' 'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point!

God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.'

ATTACK OF THE VEGGIES...

i have posted in the past about one of my hobbies of belonging to a Shakespeare Theater group...so this past sunday my group went to see the play "the arms and the man" by george bernard shaw - the play was awesome

after the play was the annual fund raiser - we went and had a glass of wine and an appitizer before since the event did not start until 6...after eating we got there about 6:20ish...i bought a raffle ticket as my aunt had decided that since she bought my first one she was going to keep it because she wanted the trip...

when the drew the winning ticket - I WON...yes me...lol...i have never won anything more than $5.00...it is round trip airfare for 2, 2 bed 2 bath condo on the beach and a 47 ft scooner for the day at my disposal...in KEY WEST FLORIDA...we have figured the value to be around 4000.00 - holy cow...

ssssssssssssoooooooooooooo...i have new incentive to not let the hormones run ramped this summer...i have to fit into a swim suit by september...lol...clint has picked out one of my old ones in the basement and said he wants to see that one...it is doable if i tighten up the extra skin and drop about 10 more...so my new goal is 10 and tight be september...

other than that not much going on...work is slow...house is great...finally quit raining and is heading towards the 80's...clint is good, girls (dogs) are healthy and happy...and well family is jsut that family...

so once again i have to say i am blessed beyond all i could ever imagine...YEAH ME...
