Secrets….

July 13, 2008 – 10:49 am

Like all good secrets I can’t hold on to this one for much longer. I am going here!! I know I can’t believe the tickets are going for THIS much. Well I blame some people in this. First there is Val. She got the tickets for us. She actually got hooked on the books after I got hooked on the books from this person. I never heard of the book until her post recommending it. And then I read the first 30 pgs and I read the book. I waited and bought the third. Got my neighbor’s husband hooked and now we are all waiting 20 days until the next one comes. Can’t believe we are actually going to LA no kids and no hubbies. WOOT WOOT!

Luckily it is the last book in the series so I don’t have to wait for the next. I have to find a new series.

French Toast

July 13, 2008 – 8:37 am

Some days it is really nice to be excited to be awake and cooking. I have a french toast recipe that made me jump out of bed this morning and get the breakfast on before the Band went to work.

Cream Cheese filling

1/4 Cream cheese softened

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

and two table spoons butter

Bread

Coating mixture

3 eggs

1/4 cup milk

and a smidge of sugar.

Spread filling over one slice bread. Place another piece on like sandwhich. Then dip outside in coating. Set in Skillet with butter on Medium High. Brown Both sides.

YEAH DID I MENTION THIS IS HUGE HIGH IN CALORIES AND FAT. But if you add fruit to the dish it makes everything seem healthy. Placing four rasberries in the middle of your toast is awesome. Also covered in fresh strawberries, blueberries, or

I may need to jump out of bed 17 times in a row followed by 50 situps, 25 push-ups and some jogging.

The Dishes…

July 9, 2008 – 11:49 am

They could be about three feet tall by now but they aren’t cause they are DONE. And I only have one load to finish and the laundry is DONE. Then there is the catching up with my former person inside of me that I know hangs out in here but I just haven’t been able to find. You know that person who is carefree, happy, and doesn’t give a rip about what anyone thinks about her. YeaH I am in there I just keep finding that I do care and I am moody, and sarcastic, and down right mean to the people I profess to care about most. So what happened this week?

PMS

Yeah it started out with a migrane on Sunday that made me hurl my guts out everytime I lifted my head. Then I got two INJECTIONS. One in both cheeks! Man am I sore. If I knew that was what they were going to do to me I would have just stayed home an hurled my guts out. One of the shots was for the vomitting. I just thought I had the flu that was going around. NOPE. Migranes SUCK! I slept for almost 13 hours straight. Then some more. And some More. Again, migranes suck!

Well then I have been in this awful, foul mood. It has been like a bad smell of rotting coleslaw settled on my little patch of grass by a tree with a fawn eating on the medow. And I am sick of smelling bad coeslaw….. wait that may just be my car and the slaw we had on the fourth of July. I’d Better go clean out my car.

Anywho! We’ll see what goes on this week! Maybe aunty Flowina could come early so I can get out of this RUT!

The air outside.

June 24, 2008 – 2:11 pm

Ok we are having bad air days this week. We are stuck inside. The fires that are raging in Northern Cally are really makeing the sky look like a bad 80’s nuclear day after movie. It is weird to have everything look like evening time all day. I would like some breathable air. It just gives me a big head ache. The kids are keeping entertained by "treasure hunts" and indoor fun.

I am just ready to get back into the POOL!

A Shout out…..

June 24, 2008 – 1:58 pm

There are somedays that I love a good chuckle. I got an email and it took me back to the dating era of my life. I am glad to have graduated that epic in my life. But here is a shout out to all the single ladies still out there.

I think somedays this is true for the married women of the world as well. But the good days balance it out.

‘A heart is not a plaything
A heart is not a toy
But if you want it broken
Give it to a boy.’

Physical fitness

June 12, 2008 – 4:37 am

1975 Schwinn Ten speed Suburban style. That is the name of the new addition to the bikes in the family. I have been riding to the local store and back for things like milk. We were at 4.45 a gallon yesterday. The van is being put down for a couple of days. My legs are going to be rock solid by the time summer is through.

We also got Pool passes to the local city pools. There are four. We should be tan by the end of summer too. There will be plenty of sunscreen so we don’t pick up a healthy dose of skin cancer.
