Shifting gears - I need to do some personal updating:

I’ll start with my health.  I had my surgery this past Monday morning and it went very well.  My surgeon removed the cyst and organs without any leaks, nicks, or tears.  Which will be very helpful if the pathology comes back not so good!  By Tuesday afternoon I was on my way home to recuperate - our insurance will only pay for 23 hours of hospital stay. We also received 7 and 1/2 inches of snow that night - as well as hitting all time record temperature lows.  COLD, COLD, COLD!  It did take me a couple of days to bounce back from the anesthetic - but I am feeling a lot better today.  A big thanks to all my blogging friends who sent prayers and well wishes my way … I appreciate it so much!

I also need to do some blog housekeeping - in regards to Carnivals and Awards:

1. Advice for Women from Women ~ A carnival that included my post … A Frugal Living Reflection.  Click here to check out all the terrific posts.
2. Colloquium’s ~ Carnival of Family Life included my post … I”ve Been Thinking About What Suze Orman Said.  Click here to check out all the inspiring posts.
