Animal Testing with Conspiracies and Happy Memories

Tell us about a happy memory that you have.

One of my most happy memories is when I adopted my oldest baby, Josette. I adopted her on Jan 27, 2011 in a town called Millport, Alabama. She was only five months old, in fact, she had just turned five months old that day. We bounded quite quickly on the ride from Millport, Alabama to Columbus, Mississippi. We stayed in Columbus for about an hour while the tires were being changed on the car. I had her inside the jacket I was wearing (she only weighed about two pounds at the time). By the time I got her home to Macon, she already knew her name.

There were two prompts, so I'm going to combine them here.

Animal testing...Yes, no, maybe

No, definitely no! I don't believe animals should suffer for a new product to appear on the market.

Do you believe in conspiracy theories? Which ones and why?

I really don't take any time to think about such things. However, I will be reading The 9/11 Commission Report, so maybe that will broaden my horizons on the topic.

News In My World!

I was in Canada last week on a church mission trip. The trip was great, much better than last year! I found my niche (I think that's how it's spelled). I wrote three different skits for the young teen vacation Bible school. Two of them were on nutrition and one on bullying.

I've lost some more weight. I'm two pounds from hitting the 20 pounds lost mark (it has taken me since Jan to do this, but it's still an accomplishment in my book). I've set a second goal for myself. My weight loss goal is to lose 31 pounds by September 21st.

I don't look at it as being on a diet, but a lifestyle change. I don't stay on the same eating program more than a month and juggle the calorie intake to keep my metabolism up. For the next few days, I'm on a plan where I burn off half the calories that I take in. I started this yesterday and have lost a pound so far. My last day on this plan will be Friday. After that, I will be on a liquid diet from Saturday until Tuesday night.

Bye for now!
