I am one of those people that almost NEVER goes out to eat... I cook dinner every night and take my lunch to work every day. It's kind of a necessity when you are feeding teenage boys cause you can't afford to take them out to eat and still pay the bills! AND, it's much healthier, especially if you cook everything from scratch and don't use pre-packaged, processed foods, which is what I try to do.

I have been more than patient... and I'll admit, I am NOT a patient person. At first, I tried the attitude... "this too, shall pass"... and it hasn't. Then, I thought... well, at least the humidity is low, so it's not too bad... NOT. Oh, and "at least I don't have to nag the boys to mow the yard"... well, that doesn't fly cause the weeds are still growing! And now? Well, I'm just a little fed up and I think it's time for some drastic action.

I don't usually go for the "sounds too good to be true" stories, BUT, this one might be worth a look-see! Researchers have found that adding dessert at the end of a protein rich breakfast can actually help you LOSE weight. In the study, two groups of overweight and obese people went on diets where they ate the same number of calories every day, BUT one group ate a modest breakfast and the other group went all out with a high-calorie (600), high-carb (60 grams), high-protein (45 grams) meal that included a DESSERT!!! Something like cottage cheese and eggs on whole grain toast, 8 ounces of low-fat yogurt PLUS a fudge brownie! In the end, the dessert group actually lost 38 more pounds per person than the no dessert group!

We all have trouble finding the time to be healthy, right? And excersize is usually the first thing we put off when we are short of time. I know, I've been a single mom of two boys for 11 years now and it is TOUGH to find time for me. Then, I found a workout that I think really does work... it makes perfect sense and I can fit it into my schedule. I have reccommended this to all my friends... most think it's too good to be true, but, if you do try it, I think you'll find it works. Here's the basic info:

Hard to believe, I know, but I'm about to do something I've never done before... be a judge for a parade! It's the 22nd Annual Old Fashion 4th of July Parade and Celebration! A friend of mine is on the board and asked if I would be a judge... there are pastries involved... and so I said YES! It really sounds like a fun time, but am I qualified? I mean, how do people judge those things? I'm just hoping there's some sort of manual involved...

Lately, I've found myself complaining that there is nothing to watch on TV... it's all reruns!!! Then I remember that I cancelled cable... then I cancelled satellite... then I bought antennae for my televisions and now I can only get network TV. Kinda like BEFORE cable? Do you remember that? Back when there was only ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS and you HAD to have a big old antennae attached to your roof... or in your attic... to watch TV? Well, now, you get TEN channels! It ain't so bad... and the picture's a whole lot better than it was before digital feeds.

Wow... it seemed like we went years without any major concerts in the Springfield area and now? The country stars are coming out of the woodwork and showing up at our front door! Thanks to the new JQH Arena, we've managed to attract some of the bigger stars, beginning with Carrie Underwood a couple years ago... guess she had so much fun she's coming back this October! Alan Jackson, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Lady A... and the list goes on...

American Idol is losing viewers BIG TIME! And, guess who is rubbing their noses in it? Dancing With The Stars! They had 4 million more viewers than American Idol last week. Now, I usually like Dancing with the Stars, but the past couple of season's have been getting harder for me to watch... I get bored with all the behind the scenes stuff... just dance already! Anyway, I tend to just record the show and fast forward thru everything but the dancing and the final scores. I guess that counts, though, I am watching the show...

Looks like OVER is the new catch word in country music... Miranda's new song is called "Over You"... her husband Blake Shelton has just released his latest, called "Over"... and now, Kenny Chesney has a new song from his yet to be released album called "Come Over"! And I'm getting OVERwhelmed by the word OVER!

Another great event has come and gone for the year... Tapas & Top Hats, saluting Remarkable Mothers in the Ozarks was a wonderful success, raising over $48,000 for Camp Barnabas! The meal was delicious - totally created by the talented Camp Barnabas chef... no caterer needed! And the tribute to the 10 Remarkable Mothers brought tears to everyone's eyes. Kate Gosslin was a wonderful speaker and answered our questions with grace, humor and humility. If you missed out, then make plans to attend next year's event AND be thinking about a remarkable mother you would like to nominate.

I've known about Camp Barnabas for years, but am only just now beginning to understand the major impact it has on the children and families it serves with it's remarkable camping experience for kids with disabilities... Camp Baranabas gives these children a chance to feel normal, to experience a summer camp "just like everybody else"... and to challenge themselves to participate in activities they never dreamed they could do. BUT, they don't stop there, they also serve the siblings of these special kids.

You know, I can't think about Valentine's Day without thinking of Woody Justice... he and Justice Jewelers have helped us "Save The Men Of The Ozarks" each year by providing beautiful jewelry to give away for 18 hours straight! Well, this year, Woody's not with us for Valentine's Day... no funny, heartwarming visit to the station, no little gifts of gold-trimmed roses for the morning show, no booming laughter... and I miss him so much!

Into the new year by 24 days and I'm thinking we should either be well on our way to making those resolutions a daily part of our lives OR we should have just given up by now! Why do we try to make major changes in the dead of winter, anyway? People think they're gonna drag their behinds out of a nice warm bed, an hour early, to make themselves do something they certainly don't enjoy! Or, just when there is so little daylight, lots of cold weather and a definite need for some comfort food, you think you're going to eat like a rabbit? How silly is that! I'm thinking that we should save the resolutions for Spring instead of shooting ourselves in the foot during the most depressing time of the year... Gee, I think I'm channeling Andy Rooney!

My mother used to tell me, when I was a kid and impatient to grow up, that I would regret my rush to adulthood... that after you get there, time moves at the speed of light! And as you get older, still, you simply blink and it's a new year! Well, as you might have guessed, I have decided that she is right... another year, or was it two? has passed. And I can barely remember what happened! I look at my children, reaching major milestones this past year... one off to college and the other driving... and I am amazed at how they went from babies to THIS! Seems like yesterday that I was lamenting over all the feeding, diapers, cleaning and sleepless nights... and then I blinked, and they are men! (Still making messes, but, men all the same). It reminds me of Trace Adkins song, "You're Gonna Miss This"... and it's so true... we miss our lives because we are too busy looking forward instead of enjoying the NOW. So, here's my New Year's Resolution... and my wish for you, too... may we slow down, pay attention and live in the Now Moment... there's so much joy here, if we just sit still long enough to notice. May your 2012 be filled with wonderful moments, and may you notice every one! Happy New Year!

December at KTTS always means Christmas Crusade and this year was no exception. We've been asking listeners to sponsor needy children for Christmas for literally decades... and no matter how tough the times, you always come through! This year, 855 children will receive something under the tree all because somebody cared enough to say "Yes" and share their abundance with those in need.

Okay, I don't enjoy putting up a Christmas tree... so sue me! My sister thinks I'm some kind of Christmas Nazi or something! In order to put up the Christmas tree, you have to move furniture around to make room for it... then, you have to vacuum because there's so many dust bunnies where the furniture was that you haven't vacuumed in a year... THEN, you have to drag the huge box that the tree is in out of storage, up the basement stairs and assemble... takes forever and kills my back. Then, drag the big box of lights, ornaments and assorted tinsle up the stairs, too... THEN, you have to decorate it... untangling lights and taking all the ornaments out of their little boxes... get out the step ladder and make a million trips up and down, hanging everything just right... then, clean up the mess you made and vacuum AGAIN... HOW can that be fun??? THEN, you just have to turn around and do it all in reverse in a couple weeks!
