Should that be figured in to the price? or make whoever bought them be responsible for getting them back to their church. As it turned out, the pews were sold locally, and we didn't have to worry about the extra expense after all. Honestly, I wish I had bought one of the smaller ones. Our Youth Director laid claims on one before the church building was even sold, and she recovered it, and it is perfect in her office in the church. A place for people or kids to sit when she is at her desk. ]]>Making Them Workhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/28/making-them-work.htmlPrairierose2008-08-28T01:44:43Zdiet pills, I get lost in that fantasy land of "oh how I wish". I know there is a lot of bad publicity about diet pills, but as with any wieght loss medication or tool, it is only as good as the effort the person taking them put in. If you make your mind up that you can do this, and you make sensible and wise choices, then the added tool of diet pills will be successful. But if you go into it thinking they are a quick fix, and they will do all the work, while you sit back and continue to eat as you have done in teh past, and not exercise, then of course they are going to fail. It is you who failed, not the pills.]]>Luncheon Baby Showerhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/28/luncheon-baby-shower.htmlPrairierose2008-08-28T01:31:39Zunique baby gifts the mom and new baby recieve. We have a baby shower coming up at the church this Sunday. The ladies organizing it have decided to have a Luncheon Baby Shower -- so besides the usual cake and punch that you will find at a traditional baby shower, a lunch will be provided as well. Even though this is her second child, a baby is such a precious thing and should be celebrated. And bring out the gifts. Should be a fun afternoon. ]]>Fulfilling A Promisehttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/28/fulfilling-a-promise.htmlPrairierose2008-08-28T01:20:03Zhorse supplies or transportation to get the horse there. He just needed to fulfill his promise and come riding into the parking lot -- on a horse. He did a great job, and the kids loved it. ]]>Finding The Right Toolshttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/25/finding-the-right-tools.htmlPrairierose2008-08-25T04:29:07Zweight loss pills, or a Weight Loss Surgey, or a well known program that millions have been successful at, it still up to you to make the right choices. You can have surgery and have half your stomach removed. But, if you don't make healthy choices at your meals, then the weight you lost will return. I wish I had been more motivated when my doctor had prescribed pills for me. They worked, but then I had to push the limits, just a bit at first, and then a bit more and a bit more, until they weren't effective at all. But that was my fault. Not the pills. I'm embarking on a whole new WL venture, and I am determined to make it work, and be successful. I just have to. I can't continue on like I am now. 'Nuff said.]]>Stick To The LIsthttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/25/stick-to-the-list.htmlPrairierose2008-08-25T03:32:02Zpimple cream, or deorderant -- or God forbid that I would ask him to pick up some kind of feminine product.

I crave the strangest things, and right now, it is Sonic ice. No pop. No ice cream. No additional flavors or anything else. Just. Ice. We have an ice maker that also crushes ice, but it just isnt' the same. I'm sure the people at Sonic just love me. 27 cents. And I stop there a couple times a day. However, before we went on this "fast food strike", they got our fair share of business, so I don't feel bad only spending 27 cents. This "fast food strike" doesn't stem from anything they did or anyone else. Its just that I was spending a good portion of my paycheck of lunches for us. So, these last couple of weeks, we have bought microwavable things ahead of time(pot pies, pizzas, shrimp alfredo) for just a couple dollars a piece, and I am saving a bundle of money. But. Nonetheless. I hope he remembers to spend 27 cents on the way home!]]>Looking Into The Futurehttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/10/looking-into-the-future.htmlPrairierose2008-08-10T02:42:59Zfutures broker instead of a grain broker. I know he would like to be able to look into "the future". He is always second guessing whether or not all of his drivers will be driving. He gets loads all set up for the week, and inevitably, one (ore more) will be sick, or have "my mom is in the hospital" or something. Life goes on, and he has to make constant adjustments to what he has set up. Everything can fall apart in the blink of the eye, and its back to the drawing board to what 14 drivers will be doing for the next few days. . , ]]>A Major Improvementhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/8/a-major-improvement.htmlPrairierose2008-08-08T01:31:46Zportable fans. The camp had fans, but it just helped to have a personal fan blowing air directly on them. But now the dorms are air conditioned, and that helps a lot. They still spend alot of time outside and they don't have the luxury of a/c 24/7. But, it is definately a major improvement from the years passed.]]>Not That Easyhttp://prairieedge.squarespace.com/journal/2008/7/28/not-that-easy.htmlPrairierose2008-07-28T02:36:46ZFenterdren or some other weight loss pill is what I need. You would think that when your mind says "no" -- that no would mean no. But then another voice says "oh, just one more bite. You don't want to waste all that food". And thus, yet another battle of the mind pursues. You would think it would be easy. A matter of mind over matter. But, it just doesnt' seem to work that easy. ]]>
