Everybody’s Chillin’…. (no, really, we’re not! but, doesn’t it sound good?)

Cheers, Readers!

In Menagerie-Land, much has been going on.  I’m under a pile of chores as we are “redecorating” 4 rooms in my house, rehabilitating a feral mama cat, preparing the twins for high school, and dealing with family disagreements yet again.  Isn’t it supposed to be that it’s times like these that I feel that I’m learning how to manage life all over again?  Do we ever getting around to mastering it?  Fun fun!

It’s not so much fun on the diabetes front. I am slipping back a bit and gained 3 pounds.  I’m just sick of being stuck to such a boring, regimented diet.  I’ve been considering Jenny Craig or the lap band… any success with those, readers?

I’m a slave to Dancing With the Stars and American Idol right now.  I’m still devastated from Pia’s departure on A. Idol.  But, thrilled that Wendy Williams was finally voted off of Dancing.  Then, there is The Deadliest Catch, which has returned with a new season this week.  There’s nothing like somebody else’s drama to take you out of your own.

I’m currently praying for the recovery of my sister’s doggie, Baxter, who had a tremendous seizure yesterday.  He is very slowly facing recovery.  He is just the sweetest Boxer that I’ve ever met…  And, I’m praying for a stranger whose wife left him unexpectantly.  They have a 4-year old boy.  This man just loves his wife and family so much that I hope that the power of prayer helps his family heal and reunite.  I’m also praying for a favorable refinance of my home to steady my financial situation.  I have been praying for a friend’s unborn child (girl) and her mother’s swift recovery from surgery.  Praying for others just seems to help put perspective on my own life situation… not to mention that I feel so much better when I pray for others.  I extend my thoughts to you and those you are praying for.

What’s up in your world?   Are you just chillin’?
