My Crazy things...
These are a list of things that I like that others might not like so much or may even find a little strange:
1. Hot dogs with cream cheese inside the hot dog.
2. Drinking buttermilk.
3. The smell of my cat, Abby's, breath.
4. The sound of my boyfriend snoring.
5. Staying up all night.
6. Cheeseburgers cooked in lard.
7. Eating lemons.
8. Not taking a shower.
9. Having my butt scratched (not that I've ever had this done before, mom).
10. Putting parmesan cheese on popcorn.
Now you do 10 things!

Heart Attack Grill...
Stephen and I went to a place called the Heart Attack Grill a few weeks ago and it was crazy. They do not serve anything healthy. Not the best place to go if you are trying to lose weight like Stephen and I are. It was a place we had seen on TV and had wanted to go for a long time. We did not eat all day and decided to head over and eat. We both managed to each eat a double bypass and a few fries. It was very good and now no burger compares to that greasy unhealthy heart stopper. It is too unhealthy to go back anytime soon or even this year but it was quite an experience. If you are over 350 lbs you eat a for free. They have a scale to weigh you in and the "nurse" that waited on us said there are a lot of people that come in over 350 lbs to eat. Crazy. Please watch the video.

Joseph's Birthday...
So today July 3rd is my biological son, Joseph's, 10th birthday! I think of him often but especially on this day and think about the horrible pain I went through 10 years ago but also how wonderful it was to see his beautiful face. His cute little fingers and toes made me smile and his hair was long and dark brown. The nurses put his hair into a little Mohawk, it was adorable. He was the most precious thing I have ever seen and nothing has ever come close. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I miss him very much. He has the best parents and the life that I wanted for him. He says that I am "The best birth mother in the whole entire solar system, that he loves me, and that he can't wait to meet me!" I couldn't ask for anything more when it comes to a birth son. He is wonderful and happy. I do wonder what he looks like but I bet he is a looker and will be a heart breaker when he gets older. What a sad day for me but I am a proud birth mother and I realize that I am one year closer to meeting him again. I made cup cakes in honor of him and may watch the video tape I have of him when he was a baby. I also take out his baby blanket for a few days. I am sure he is having a fun day and getting spoiled. He loved the presents I sent him and I hope he gets some other good presents! He knows why I gave him up and is thankful to me. I am thankful to his parents for telling him such great things about me so that Joseph and I can have such a loving relationship.
From Gods Arms to My Arms to Yours
With so many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure
if I can ever hope to trust my judgement anymore.
But lately I've been thinking, 'cause it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.
(Chorus)
And maybe you can tell your baby,
when you love him so, that he's been loved before;
By someone who delivered your son
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.
If you choose to tell him, and if he wants to know,
How the one who gave him life could bear to let him go;
Just tell him there were sleepless nights; I prayed and paced the floors
And knew the only peace I'd find is if this child was yours.
(Chorus)
Now I know that you don't have to do this,
But could you kiss him once for me
The first time that he ties his shoes, or falls and skins his knee?
And could you hold him twice as long when he makes his mistakes,
And tell him that he's not alone, sometimes that's all it takes.
I know how much he'll ache.
This may not be the answer for another girl like me;
But I'm not on a soapbox saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings and I'm trusting God above,
And I'm trusting you can give this baby
Both his mothers' love.
(Chorus)

Pet Peeves....
All the pet peeves I could come up with in 15 minutes:
1. When drivers hold down the horns longer than necessary.
2. Being flipped off.
3. Being tailgated.
4. People that talk over other people. Interrupting
5. People who tell their kids to "SHUT UP" because they're crying. Have you heard of hugging your child?
6. People that walk off without their kids saying good-bye because their kid wants something. What if someone took off with your kid, idiots.
7. People that come to America and expect us to speak their language.
8. People that can't speak correctly.
9. Telemarketers.
10. People that pull in front of you and then slow down.
11. Cashiers having inappropriate conversations with coworkers whilst helping you. Like they are cool.
12. Waking up early in the morning.
13. Lastly, when people don't change the toilet paper roll when they use the last of the toilet paper.

This is a guest post from my sister Kimberly...
When I was in Arizona visiting April, I ate all of her angel food cake. So we went to the store to get another one, and I ate that whole cake too. In one sitting. So here is a tribute to my sister and her delightful angel food cakes that now will always be a part of me.

Facebooks Farm Town...
You start with a blank farm and a few coins. Then you plow some fields to prepare for the planting. Plowing a field is free. If you want to start planting, you go to the store and buy seeds. Seeds have corresponding number of days to grow and be available for harvesting. Some seeds take only one day to be ready for harvest so you have to get back to Farm Town in the next day to harvest your crops, otherwise, they will wither and die.
You make friends and you can send gifts of trees or animals to them. In return, they will give you trees or animals too. It is a blast to watch as your farm transforms and a blast to buy things for your farm. You can visit your friends fields by making them neighbors and do work on their field to make money. You can also hire people to do your harvesting and that also makes money for you or you can be the person trying to get a job. Try it, it's so much fun!!!
