Everyone has been curious...

Helen asked in a comment (and I've recieved multiple questions verbally) about the "growth" on my mom's arm in the one picture from my previous post (the 4th picture).



The answer is: A Body Bugg.





Here is a little blurb from their website and a link (at the end) in case you're now even more curious!


It utilizes a patented process for interpreting calorie burn called "sensor fusion" developed by BodyMedia, Inc. This process involves collecting a range of body-data using multiple physiological sensors instead of a single sensor, which is what other calorie estimation devices such as pedometers and heart rate monitors rely on. It's this multi-sensor approach that enables bodybugg™ to "see" the wearer's context (whether they are sitting, sleeping, jogging, walking, etc.) that makes bodybugg™ such a reliably accurate device for calorie expenditure estimation.


The Physiological Sensors:
- Accelerometer
- Heat Flux
- Galvanic Skin Response

- Skin Temperature


The data these 4 sensors collect, in conjunction with the wearer's specific body parameters (age, gender, height, weight) enable the most accurate estimation of energy expenditure on the market today outside of a clinical setting. Click here for details.

With Kendra's express permission...

I just returned from my trip to California...I was able to see my family, which is a huge blessing from God (more on that later!) and of course the 80 degree weather didn't hurt anything either! :) Anyway, for now, here are a few pictures of The Newest Dixon's Wedding! I have Kendra's express permission to post these, so enjoy!

2:30 A.M.

I had 4 good friends over this evening...we made birthday cards and played Apples to Apples, and Mario Kart Wii, all of which made for an excellent evening!! I also had a cup of coffee...which is why it's 2:30 in the morning and here I am, wide awake, brain ticking away, surfing the internet!
I found a good Abe Lincoln quote:

"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business."
That's good adivce, no matter who you are, no matter your circumstances.
Well, now it's 3:00am...oh what to do next??
