I am so sick and tired of people thinking I am stupid. If it isn't my ex husband, it is my mother. The next person who tries to make me feel stupid I am going to go off on them like there is no tomorrow. No, I did not complete high school but I passed my GED with flying colors. I did very well in school and in college. No, I didn't go to class half ( Read more... )

Last night after a lot of stalling and out of frustration, I started and finished a headband. Not just any headband either, a genius headband. And let me tell you this sucker is awesome. I should have stopped when I was originally going to but it was so fun to make I kept going. Nothing that a little embelishment won't take care of. It is a little ( Read more... )

Thoughts and ideas fly through my head like bats flocking out of a cave for their dawn feast. 2 things have stuck with me for as long as I can remember; food and crafting. In 2016 (hopefully we'll have a small business friendly president by then) I will be opening up my very own restaraunt but until then (since I am paying a self employed tax ( Read more... )

I got invited to a very close friend's wedding last month and I am more than likely going to go. Ok scratch more than likely and insert "come Hell or high water or no job" into that last sentence. There is a HUGE problem though, half of the people he is going to invite freaking hate my GUTS! They remember me from 10 or so years ago and they don't ( Read more... )

I was browsing recipes online looking for something to do with a boring old sirloin pork roast in the crock pot because the house is hot enough as it is and I didn't want to make it even hotter with an oven running for a few hours and found one that seemed easy enough and I had the ingredients on hand. I read the reviews and they were either 5 or 4 ( Read more... )

I try to be a happy person, in fact I am trying to find ways to be even happier. I am doing what I can to get right with the Lord and the people that have made an impact on my life that I have lost contact with/wronged/shunned and anything you can think of that is hurtful. Do you want to know the hardest part? Trying to let things go, the past ( Read more... )

Well folks, I must say it turned out great. It was dense and unlike anything I have ever tasted before. It didn't have that boxed cake sweetness or fluffiness but it was definately moist. The rum icing was good too even though I was out of heavy whipping cream and had to use sweetened condensed milk instead. I will definately make this cake again ( Read more... )

A while back I watched a fantastic (in its own right) movie called Julie and Julia. Because I am not original or creative to a degree in my own thinking, I am following the idea of the basis of the movie. If you haven't seen it, I recommend watching it but if you have seen it and still are questioning what it is exactly I am meaning, I am going to ( Read more... )

I have not really had a problem with the battle of the buldge because I have always been relatively thin or average. I think I put on some extra pounds a few months after Erika was born but I quickly lost it without diet or exercise. As I am getting older I keep hearing about the slowing down of our metabolism after 40. Even though I still have a ( Read more... )

I had a not so rare case of the munchies so I went downstairs to the fride and got an apple out. I bit into it and it was refreshingly cool yet unrefreshingly BAD! I don't know if it sat in the fridge too long or what but it was not crisp and brownish on the inside. So my mom tells me to throw it outside for the squirrels to eat. We have a family ( Read more... )
