Fun Facts!

Well, I KNOW I have not posted in FOR EVER which is bad. I think about my poor blog every day but am too busy to keep up. So, I thought it would be fun to post some fun facts maybe not FUN maybe slightly FRIGHTENING facts about the food we eat today.

ENJOY!





I HAD NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD A TWINKIE UNTIL MY UNCLE CAME DOWN FROM TENNESSEE AND BROUGHT A BOX WITH HIM. YOU HAVE NEVER MET A JUNK FOOD JUNKIE UNTIL YOU HAVE MET MY UNCLE. MY MOM NEVER EVER IN A KAJILLION YEARS WOULD LET US HAVE A TWINKIE BUT MY UNCLE BEGGED AND FINALLY MY MOM ALLOWED. SO I WAS READING THE BOOK " EAT THIS NOT THIS" BY DAVID ZINCZENKO, AND HERE IS THE FACT ABOUT TWINKIES I READ.


Did you know, that Twinkies are packed with massive doses of something called polysorbate 60, a petroleum product used to construct plastic bottles?

I think personally, eating a plastic bottle might be better for you. :P


Did you know, that McDonald's is the world's largest purchaser of beef, potatoes and apples?

Also, McDonald's opens a new restaurant every four hours!



Personally I am built athletically so I need to stay fit all the time and eat healthy all of the time. It is really hard for me because sometimes I want to sneak in those extra little treats, but when I do I gain so FAST. Thankfully I play tennis which is a VERY athletic sport and makes you run so it keeps you in good shape!

Did you know, that tennis is the ONLY sport that gets your heart rate up faster than any other?

Ta-Ta!

You'll Never Walk Alone

This song is from the musical "Carousel". It is a very pretty song and I loved it so much I said, I HAVE to post this! Actually, one page of music is missing from this song, which I have not practiced. I just got this down so I am a little rusty! My Grandma gave me a music book with all the music from the Roger's and Hammerstein's collection. Music from, "Oklahoma", "The King and I", "Carousel, and others I can't think of right now. This piece is actually my Gram's favorite out of the whole book. :) I played it for her over the phone. :)Enjoy

Cat-astrophe!!!

Misty and Dotz, our two new kittens as you know. If you don't know, go to my older posts and look at the sweet pictures I have of them. Anyway, my Dad and I were going to the store yesterday, he had a air conditioner temperature tool in the car and when we got in it was 120 degrees! The car was SO hot! We got talking about how dangerous it was. Anyway, my Dad was in his truck cleaning it out and can you guess? Misty our grey little kitten hopped in the truck without anybody knowing. She was in there for a couple hours. It takes 2 to 4 hours for a small child to die in a hot car. We were surprised that she did not. My Dad opened up his truck, heard a weak Mew, and found her under the seat. So Dad brought her in and she was completely drenched in sweat panting and she looked half dead. All of us girls almost had a conniption. :) She drank A LOT of water, and she gave some pitiful little mews. It was almost the saddest thing I have ever seen. I am happy to report that she is doing better but she is not her normal self. Dotz (her brother) was so happy that she was back when we put her outside. They are buddies and almost NEVER leave each other's side. He started licking her and giving her love, it was so sweet. Poor kitty!

That's the latest at our house!
Has anything scary ever happened to your pet?

A favorite poem of mine!

Arise Woman Of God


Rise up O woman of God In what He has given you The things God has laid on your heart Rise up, go forth, and do

Unlock what God has placed within The potential you have inside The world is waiting for your release To expand your wings and fly

Arise in your God-given gifts For this is your finest hour Arise in the Lord’s holy might Ignited and empowered

For God is calling you to come forth To impact this world for Him Don’t hold back or limit yourself Let His power arise within

And take His message to the world To those that have lost their way For you can surely make a difference If you’d hear His voice and obey

You shall be strengthened in the Lord As you begin to arise Conquering those doubts that pull you downAnd believe who you are in Christ

For you shall surely be transformed As, in you, God increases more And become a woman of true excellence Bringing honour to her Lord

By M.S.Lowndes
