Why I Heart Huckabee

Filed Under Current Events, Featured, Politics, Social Action, Video, news | 7 Comments

You may have noticed that toward the bottom of my sidebar I made a little I heart Huckabee button. Yes, my official endorsement for both the republican nominee. Risky for a girl with a mixed political readership? Perhaps. But hopefully you don’t just read me for my politics :)

If I could take 8 minutes of your time this video should explain pretty well why I love Mike Huckabee. Many of the main issues I care about our touched on. To get further information on any of the topics you may have questions about (such as “fair tax”,) Feel free to click my I heart Huckabee button and learn more. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this video.

Drug & ISLAND Withdraw.

Filed Under Featured, Trials & Tribs | 8 Comments

It seems we have hit the ground running since we have been back. I committed numerous typos yesterday, forgot attachments, ran into walls, and lost my train of thought on several occasions. Days like that really annoy me, but in hindsight I have to laugh, right? As long as those flubs do not result in major consequences.

In addition, I have been withdrawing from my night medicine. This medicine slows my brain down so that I can sleep. My body gets tired enough but in contrast my brain likes marathons! Despite the wonderful benefit of this medicine, the time has come to get off. I’m afraid withdraw is not being especially kind. Read more

The Year I Would Change.

Filed Under Christianity, Featured, Friends, Trials & Tribs | 13 Comments

If I could go back and change any year of my life and any of the things over which I had control, it would be that first year at Taylor University. It started out okay, but somewhere along the line, I lost my mind. Everything in my life, except some of my good friends, felt completely unstable.

Ellen DeGeneres Another Victim of those Pet Extremists

Filed Under Entertainment, Trials & Tribs | 9 Comments

I’m sure many of you have heard about the crying diatribe emotionally delivered by Ellen DeGeneres on her morning talk show. Many have differing opinions on her overwhelmingly passionate speech.

Here are my 2 cents and personal story.

Legally, she was not allowed to give away the dog. Personally, I would have probably reacted the same way she had. I can personally attest that because of my experience over 5 years ago with Happy Tails in Franklin, TN I will never adopt an animal from a related shelter. I love animals. My husband does even more. We give great homes to them. When the boys are old enough for a dog we will add it to our 2 cat animal house.

The day I went to get a precious kitten from Happy Tails for my finance (JJ) who was busy at a gold tournament, I found that I was not able to “surprise” the other parent of the animal. I was “evil” because I grew up in a house that he “declawed” and found myself in the middle of a lecture including illustrations of what “declawing” does to cats, and yes it was sad. Thank God they use lasers now. THEN as I departed holding back tears they informed me I would never be a fit parent.

I went back to my car, called my friend debb, wept and ranted, then decided they were not going to get away with that. I found the Pet Nazi herself as she was about to leave for lunch. I was teary eyed but firm. I told her she had no right to judge my parenting. That I was a kind animal lover with a huge amount of nurturing tendencies. I went on but no longer remember what I said. She backed down and asked me to go pick an animal. I told her I would not only never return, but I would make sure everyone I knew that wanted to get a pet there would go elsewhere. I told her what she was doing was probably out of a good heart toward the pet but had no regard for human beings.

These people need to learn to have a heart for real people and not just animals. Compassion for animals is great, but to trump people, as if people are the enemy? That is plain wrong and I would argue slightly insane.
