Why Am I Complaining...Please Pray!

I've been grunting and groaning since last week because work totally sucks right now prepping for this Board meeting in Nashville I have later this week (thanks to stupid staffers who can never meet a deadline!).  Then the hubs got violently ill so I played nurse all weekend. Seriously though, why am I complaining?

I love when things are not going exactly my way God reminds me just how blessed I am.  A childhood friend of mine's baby girl has been having trouble breathing since last week. Bless her heart she's been in and out of the hospital and they still aren't sure what's wrong. Why am I complaining?

Isn't she the cutest thing you ever did see!?!

Please say a prayer for Miss Sutherlynn Grace's quick healing and for her parents!

I hope all of you lovelies have a fantastic week.

Dip Your Dressing

So I was definitely skeptical last week when Christin recommended dipping your fork into your salad dressing instead of pouring dressing on your salad, in her healthy eating post. Well, let me just tell you, Christin is one smart cookie.  This skeptic tried it out last night, I poured my light ranch into a ramekin, filled it almost to the brim, ate my ginormous salad and was amazed as to how little dressing I used.  I'm a ranch junkie and I swear and I don't even think I used one full serving {which is 2 tablespoons}! I wish I would have taken a before and after pic.  I'm not sure if it was because the taste is so strong when the dressing is dipped on each indiviual bite or what but I was amazed.  She claimed you'd save hundreds of calories and now I believe it.  My butt and thighs thank her!  P.S. - def check out livestrong.com.  Thanks Christin!

On a more serious note, I read a really heartbreaking post from darling momma-to-be Megan yesterday.  Please keep baby Cohen in your prayers!!!
