Had a Dry Spell

I've had a bit of a dry spell as far as blogging goes. Not much to talk about here on the home front. The weather's been crappy so it's been keeping me in but that's suppose to change tomorrow so "Watch out world! She's about to make a re-appearance!" Cameron is suppose to pick up the transmission for his car today. It's going to be nice to have him up and running again and not borrowing my keys all the time. I've actually been considering a scooter. They seem like a fun little machine and would save me a ton in fuel costs. I bet it would pay for itself in one summer. I think I'll start doing my homework and see what I can find. I can see it now, my kids will tell me how "gay" it is to have a scooter and then the minute I buy one, they will be fighting to ride it and I'll never get them off.
I made a fresh strawberry pie and a rhubarb crumb pie last night before hitting the hay. I'll take them to work with me today to feed the troops and keep their spirits soaring. My supervisor's son is graduating tomorrow and she's having a big BBQ at her house afterward so she asked if I would make her a batch of my specialty "Hot Pepper Brownies." They're a real toe curler...so I made a batch of those last night too. I wonder what the neighbors think with all these bakery smells coming from my place at night. Maybe I should take the screen out of my kitchen window, create a drive thru of sorts and get a cash box......Hmmmmm...... LOL!!

Playing Nurse Maid

I'm home today cuz Gracie was up all night yacking with her porcelain friend. I don't know what got into her but I'm pretty sure it's all out. Yuck! So I'll be playing the role of nurse maid. I wish I could remember that hot nurse's name from Emergency (a show from my child hood). That's who I am today....If I have to do it, I'm gonna do it in style and be hot darn it!

I'm being tempted


This week 3 people have told me I need to go into the catering business. One said I should come up with a business plan and send out feelers to different loan officers to see if anything may be feasible. I have the perfect location in mind but am scared as hell to even think about it. I wouldn't want to cater but I'd love to have my own bakery/sandwich/bistro/specialty kinda place. Please God send me a "Sugar Daddy." Tee Hee.......

If Ya Can't Stand the Heat

I've spent the entire weekend cooking or basking in the sun. We've had gorgeous weather for the first time in forever and it just happened to be on the weekend when I had two potlucks and a baby shower to make food for. Wish you were here Dougie....we'd have fun in the kitchen whipping up the latest tantalizing dishes!! So after the chocolate covered strawberries and triple cheese and veggie platters have all been consumed and everyone is tucked into their respectful cupboards.......I guess I'll get back to my regular 9-5 then hit it again next weekend. I have a graduation party on Saturday, another Sunday early afternoon then a dinner Sunday evening. I love this stuff..it's what makes me the happiest, playing with my food! Happy Monday all!!

Love my Anklebiters


I just have to tell the world how much I love my kids. They give me headaches and sleepless nights, joy beyond compare and heart hugs. I can't imagine the planet without them. Have a fantabulous weekend!!

Testing the Waters

I'm taking a test today for possible employment with USPS. Federal bennies!! Wouldn't that be better than chocolate mousse on a hot PMS day? Keep your fingers, toes, butt cheeks, and everything else crossed for me.

Meet the Neighbors




I moved a couple months ago and now that it's spring, I'm starting to meet the neighbors. Here are a few pix of them and their families. They are an amicable group....no loud parties, noisy cars or knocks on the door asking for a cup of sugar. I couldn't ask for a better flock of friends.
