Sleep, Drink and Gossip Your Way to Health
saw this on aol this morning. don't hit the snooze button, just set the alarm for 20 min. later.. totally okay to gossip as long as you're not spreading rumors, sharing stories is actually healthy! ummm duh, girls already knew that! and drinking alcohol whether it be beer or wine or whatever with your dinner will probably help ward off food poisioning. Also, drinking coffee has been shown to help prevent liver disease and parkinsons. Forever we have been made to feel guilty for all of these. Ugh! I'm over the guilt, just stop with it. Enjoy th sleep, drink and gossip people, in moderation of course... :)

Watched Biggest Loser last night, I like that show but its sooo long! Like maybe an hour would be good. Also watched teen mom. Watching that show, makes me know I made the right choice so many years ago. The sweet babies are tossed between teen parents, and grandparents. Every child deserves to have a stable home as heartbreaking as it is for the mother, it is the most selfless thing she can do, let go and know that your child is getting the best of everything. Rick's bday was yesterday and I reminded him his birth mom was thinking about him. Maybe someday before it's too late, he'll find her. She let him go and he has had such a wonderful life and upbringing with unconditional love from Midge and Bob. I know she would be so happy for that. Lauren and I know that we are truly unique in the fact that our relationship is so special. We know that most don't turn out like this and we know that 23 years ago, the characters in the story were all placed there by God. It's amazing to look back on the prayer service with Fr. Mike and the blessing of the baby clothes that were sent with Lauren. Each piece of the puzzle and the story finally fell into place four years ago. Knowing Lauren and her mom and dad and sister is truly amazing and I know that she had an amazing childhood with parents who were truly committed to loving her no matter what. Adoption never means not loving someone, it really means loving them so much that it hurts.
