I thought it would be fun to do a guestbook for those who come and visit my little corner of the world. It would be fun to hear from you, would you sign my guestbook? ~Shyloh~

Final day of the cleanse...

Yes, I admit...I am a quitter. Yesterday was day 1 of the cleanse. My goal was to go 14 days. It went well yesterday, and aside from being pretty hungry, we were doing well and going strong (in determination, not physically, lol.) Well, I woke up this morning and felt really really weak. I crawled out of bed and stumbled down the hall to the couch. I almost passed out on the walk out. I couldn't believe how light headed and faint I felt. I sat on the couch, and realizing I couldn't even sit up without nearly passing out, I lay down. I texted Jeff to see how he was doing and was thrilled for him, yet bummed for me, he was doing "great!!" He wasn't weak, wasn't faint and was only slightly hungry. My mom came downstairs a few minutes later and was a bit shocked by my appearance. Both her and Jeff kept asking if I was experiencing "normal" symptoms. I didn't remember seeing these symptoms in all the researching I've done, but looked it up again. It was not a symptom that anyone had experienced. My mom then muscle tested me to see if the cleanse was even beneficial for my body. She tested negative. Then she tested Jeff, who tested positive. After talking with my mom, Jeff and praying for a while. I ended up deciding that I was only doing my body harm (as not all cleanses are meant for everyone) I ate a banana, and decided I will still drink the lemon water and continue detoxing, but I'm going to have to eat something while on it. Originally I decided I'd eat raw foods and continue with the cleanse. But after talking with another lady who had just done the cleanse (and actually, she ended up in the hospital after finishing it) I decided to tailor it more. I'm going to continue eating small portions while drinking the lemon water. I will not eat sugar, white flour, no eating out and no processed foods. So, I am still going to be cleansing, only in a way that will help my body, not tear it down.

I feel so horrible for Jeff!! I spent a week researching it and we were both so gungho to start it, so I feel terrible to be quiting, while he is still excited to coninue with it. :'( Poor guy. But he's such a sweetie, he is totally encouraging me to not do the full on cleanse and isn't making me feel bad for quiting. LOL, I still feel like a horrible fiance though.

So anyways...keep Jeff in your prayers, for him to stay strong and keep on going. And also for me, to keep eating healthy and for the whole process to go quickly. :) thanks!

Master Lemon Cleanse...Day 1

Jeff and I started the Master Lemon Cleanse today. For those of you who don't know what that is, basically it is a lemon mixture (which we drink all day long--without eating ANYTHING, for the length of the cleanse) which cleanses you inside out. We are going to be on the cleanse for 14 days total. I've decided to try to post daily on how it is going. Soooo....

DAY ONE....

We are feeling very hungry and are craving any food we can think of or see...even mustard and pickle juice. (At this point...I'd even be willing to drink vinegar.) Our tongues are starting to turn white (which is the toxins in our bodies) and we've both had a mild headache and I've been freezing cold. We're excited that we're only going to do it for 14 days, since my original goal was 40 days. (Yikes!) Today has been hard, but it gets harder. Thankfully, the hardest part will be over in 4 days. If we can make it past the 4th day...we will be home free.

Please keep us in yours prayers throughout the week. And please...don't talk about food while we are around. LOL.

13 days to go...woo hoo!

Looking for Lemons...

This is by far the weirdest post I have ever (and probably will ever) post.

Jeff and I started a lemon cleanse today. (For those of you who don't know what that is....basically, we aren't eating ANYTHING while on this cleanse and drinking TONS of this lemonade tasting mixture.) So....this leads to the point of this post....


Does anyone have any lemon trees with extra lemons on it, that you wouldn't mind sparing? They don't have to be pretty, fresh, ect. I'll even willingly take the lemons that fall on the ground and are bruised.


Please let me know if you do have any. You can post a comment, or call (409-4581.)

Thanks guys!

...Another Job Update...

Here's the latest update on Jeff's job situation...

He just called me while on his way home from his multi-tasking test. He said it "went well," and feels like he did good. It was a 2 hour test which covered a lot. He said some of the test was really easy, some of it was super hard. They will call him in 2 weeks to let him know if he gets the job or not.

Here are the latest statistics:
100 people were invited to the orientation.
40 people were called to come back and take the multi-tasking test.
Only 6 of them will be hired.
He has a 15% chance of getting this job.

(That's better than his last percentage (6%) )

But he still needs a LOT of prayer.
Keep praying!!

John 14:15

It is perilously easy to imagine that we love God, because we like the idea o God, or because we feel drawn to Him. The only valid test of love is obedience.

The Shoe Box

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. 'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.' The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?' 'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

Prayer Request Update...

For those of you praying for Jeff and I, concerning Jeff's job opportunity, I thought I should give you an update on where we are right now. Yesterday, the company he is trying to get a job through called him in reference to the orientation he attended last week. They told him he needed to come back down next Monday to take another test. Jeff was ecstatic (as this means, he's progressing and getting closer to possibly getting the job) but also a bit nervous. He's got to take a Multitasking test...and Jeff can't multitask--no guy can multitask properly. (No offense Sweetie!! You're a waffle...it's not your fault!) So, if you could all just keep him in your prayers this week and especially Monday evening, that would be awesome! We're both so excited that he was called back, and we hope very much that he gets this job. Any prayer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Please pray...

Here's the update on Jeff's job situation that I mentioned in my last post...That day, after I had finished blogging, Jeff called me to tell me that the supervisor had just called him and invited him to the job orientation. (This in itself was awesome, since they weren't inviting anymore people to the orientation!!) The orientation was on Thursday evening, and we were both pretty nervous. 101 people were invited to this orientation (Jeff being the lucky 101st person.) They shuffled the people through in groups of 24. They walked through the building (if I haven't mentioned this...he's trying to get on as a 911 dispatcher), took a test and each person had a one on one interview. Jeff had a "ton of fun, and really enjoyed himself," plus he knew several people. (And the gal who did his interview, happens to know his sister...who happens to be an EMT) So, hopefully, he's got some help on his side. Here's where the prayer comes in...they are only hiring 6 out of 101 people... He's only got a 6% chance of getting the job. Please pray.

Update on Life...


I guess it is about time I should post another update on life.

The family is well. Nobody has been sick for a while. (Watch...because I just wrote that, someone will come down with something in the next few days. Lol, I shouldn't even joke like that.) Shylie is growing and amazing us daily. She is so cute and so smiley. Poppet and Lolly have become crack-ups! They are always together and always getting into trouble! (And always tattling on each other! lol)Though they fight and bicker a lot...they truly are best friends. Lately, Lolly has become so animated!! She's become an avid story teller and is very detailed in facial description. She's very entertaining. (Next time you see her...ask her to tell you about dinosaurs. Ask for details, as in: "Are they scary? What sound do they make? How do they act?" It's very cute.)Um...what else?? I think that is about it for latest family news. (Oh!! I was wrestling with Shannen the other day...he begged for mercy!!! WOW!! Shannen has NEVER begged for mercy before!!)

I just started working on my final test (again) for my master herbalist course. I've been "working" on it for months now. "Working" meaning...work on it faithfully for a week or so, then drop it for a few months...then start "working" on it again. It is 360 questions long and very hard! I'm half way through it, but it still feels like I will be working on it forever. But, I've vowed to get it done and over with so I never have to worry about it again. It's such a drag to have hanging over my head! For those of you who don't know, it's a CMH course (Certified Master Herbalist) I've been working on it for a little over a year, when I finish my final test I will be a CMH (certified master herbalist), CMT (certified muscle tester) and I will be certified to teach the course. I could use my certification to get a job at a health food store, become a natural "doctor" (don't know what they are called) and I have a few other options. Basically, it's college at home. But I don't plan on doing any of those options. My goal when I took the course was to use my knowledge to benefit my future family. So...lucky Jeff! He gets "Vitamin C and B-12 soup with sauteed zinc and mashed melatonin" for dinner every day of his life. (Of course, on special occasions, I'll make him "Creamed Clary Sage and bbq-ed Licorice Root with a side salad consisting of Horsetail, Corydceps and Fennel with a Pine and Peppermint Essential Oil dressing.) Ha, ha...I'm totally kidding. (Don't worry sweetie, I'd never do that to you.) By the way...you can't saute zinc, bbq licorice root, nor cream clary sage. They were just the first few things that popped into my mind. LOL. When I started this course, I hadn't met Jeff yet, and my plans were to take another CMH course that covers more and possibly go into Midwifery. But now that I'll have a husband to cook and clean for in a few months, I'm not sure if I will continue in my education on the subject. We'll see. I guess I will probably have enough free time to study, plus, I'd still be doing it at home, not at a college. But anyways, that's all I have to say on this subject.


Jeff and I are still working out; he's lost 10 pounds so far. I've lost...2 pounds...on a good day. (WAAAA...) We're trying a new approach. Instead of walking, we're calorie counting and brisk walking/jogging. My daily diet consists of: Breakfast...Granola bar. Lunch...granola bar. Snack...nuts/cookie, pretzels--no more than 140 calories for snack. Dinner...I allow myself to eat 700 calories for dinner. Then, I usually have another small snack before bed. I'm chewing a lot of gum (which supposedly is good to do while on a diet, because it keeps you from eating) and drinking a lot of water. So ya...walking a lot, recently jogging, and doing a lot of sit-up competitions. ("Who can do sit ups the longest"...usually he quits first, but he's done the most...so, actually, he probably would be considered the "winner.")

I've been feeling a little discouraged lately, and I think I've exhausted Alyssa with prayers to add to her "friend prayer request journal." LOL (I do appreciate it, Lyss!) I know a lot of what has happened lately is happening for the good, but it is still disappointing in the present time. I will fill you all in on the details, so that whenever you think of Jeff or I, you can pray a quick prayer for us. 1st off...Jeff needs a better paying job before we can get married. Right now, because the job market is so horrible, this is a very tricky thing. Everyone needs a job right now. He recently had a job opportunity, which he has been pursuing aggressively, but found out today that the hiring is closed. :( Though there is still a slight possibility that God could work a miracle and he could get the job. If he did...it would be awesome! It's a great job, pays well, and he could retire at this job. If he doesn't get this job...then it wasn't God's will. But we will most likely have to postpone the wedding; until he gets a new job, we can not afford to get married. So I have been very stressed and bummed about that.

We are both trying to save up so much money in so short of time! We need $3,000 for our honeymoon (which we still haven't decided where it will be. We can't come up with any perfect ideas) we need $5000 for a house downpayment or an appartment downpayment. Pluse, we need a $1000 emergency savings in our account. (Yikes...talk about stress!...we need $9,000 dollars in 6 months.) Not to mention, we'd like to buy a couch now (to put in storage, just so we have it when the time comes, and so we don't have to have a blowup couch when we marry...lol.) and we have a list of other things that we won't be getting for bridal shower gifts nor wedding gifts that we'd like to start getting now.

On top of all of that, my hours at work have been cut in half due to the econonmy. (Such bad timing!!) I came home crying, lol, but my parents were trying to encourage me. Possibly, this is the Lord answering my prayers. Jeff and I had already been talking about whether I will keep working when we get married or not. Right now, the Brooks are trying to sell their house, and I told him when it's sold, I'd like to quit. (I don't want to drive to Modesto twice a week for 4 hours of work.) So we had already decided that if they moved, I'd just quit and take care of our home. But if they stayed, we hadn't yet decided what I would do. When I came home that evening, we both realized that maybe this is the Lord answering our questions. I went out the next day, looking for another part time job, but was turned down everywhere I looked. My mom and I talked that night and she asked me to take a week and just pray before I get another job. I agreed, and though my week is not up yet, I already feel a peace about just staying still, and not getting another job. I make enough to pay my bills and have a little extra "mad-money." I might not be making enough to put a ton into savings, but the Lord provides enough for today, and will provide for tomorrow-when tomorrow comes. So right now, I'm just trying to trust in Him, He knows what He is doing...and it's all for the good. Jeff and I talked about it on Saturday and both agree that I should sit still for a while. Our goal, is to just make sure that even if I continue working after the wedding, that I don't make so much that we start depending on my income, and rely on me working.

So I'm not really sure what the Lord is trying to do right now. Whether he is just trying to teach us to trust Him, or if He is trying to speak to us. We have a lot of decisions to make: whether we should postpone the wedding (it'd be postponed until March or June 2010...and I would be SO crushed), our job situations, and all these other little things we are trying to sift through. So if you could all just pray that we could be very sensitive to his voice and hear him above all else, that would be great.

Oh, yeah! And we just found out today that his cousin (who lives in Washington) is pregnant...and due August 14th. (If he gets a new job, we are planning on an August 15th wedding.) The reason we had to wait until August was because his sister Jen (who lives in New Hampshire) is pregnant and due middle June. Now, his cousin is pregnant. So...we're also trying to decide if we should postpone the wedding until September 12th (providing he gets a job) for his cousin. LOL, if we plan the wedding around all pregnant family members, we'll never get married.


So...on a happier note...Jeff is buying a new car. (He's down at the car dealership right now, negotiating with the dealer.) So, we're praying that the Lord works this situation out. Debra (his mom) is moving next week (Jeff is moving with her) and I will be helping them move. I'm looking forward to that--to be able to help her and spend some time with her. I've recently topped my tpying speed (it was around 80-90 wpm)...and now I am a fluent 100+ words per minute typist (with less than 8 errors)!! How many wpm can you type? I called on a apartment today and got all the info on it. We are getting excited about finding an apartment or a house. (Our goal was to get into a house, but since he will be getting a new job, we probably won't be able to get into one, as you need anywhere between 6 months-3 years at a job before buying a house, and he will only have a few months at a new job under his belt no mater when we are able to marry. So while we are still hoping for a house, it's looking doubtful.) We're thinking we'll officially nail down a place in July, and Jeff will move in early August before wedding. But, if we postpone the wedding, we'll wait a little longer before we get anything. We are still working on our pre-marital counseling book. We are half way through it, but we haven't met with Pastor Steve yet. So, we need to start doing that soon. And finally, on Saturday (Valentine's Day) we are going to San Francisco with my parents. We're going to spend the day walking around and then go out to dinner. That will be fun!

That's all for now, hopefully the length of this post will redeem my lack of blogging. :)

10 Things you should NOT do during an interview

Here are 10 real-life mistakes that illustrate what not to do when you sit down for your next interview:

1. Candidate answered her cell phone and asked the interviewer to leave her own office because it was a "private" conversation.

2. Applicant told the interviewer he wouldn't be able to stay with the job long because he thought he might get an inheritance if his uncle died -- and his uncle wasn't "looking too good."

3. The job seeker asked the interviewer for a ride home after the interview.

4. The applicant smelled his armpits on the way to the interview room.

5. Candidate said she could not provide a writing sample because all of her writing had been for the CIA and it was "classified."

6. Candidate told the interviewer he was fired for beating up his last boss.

7. When the applicant was offered food before the interview, he declined saying he didn't want to line his stomach with grease before going out drinking.

8. An applicant said she was a "people person" not a "numbers person" in her interview for an accounting position.

9. During a phone interview the candidate flushed the toilet while talking to hiring manager.

10. The applicant took out a hairbrush and brushed her hair.

Warning about Doctors!!

Doctors...


(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.


(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.


(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.



Statistics courtesy of U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services



Now think about this:


Guns:


(A) The number of gun owners in the U.S. is 80,000,000. (Yes, that's 80 million)


(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.

(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .000188.



Statistics courtesy of FBI


So, statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.



Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'


FACT:

NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.


We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!


Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical help.
