**Of course "resolutioning" is a word. My spell checker just doesn't know what it's talking about. It's a word. I made it up just now.
I don't like making New Year's Resolutions. I don't think I've ever made a serious one and attempted in the slightest to keep it. I'm a procrastinator and would way rather not set myself up for that kind of failure! But...After some dragging of my feet and rolling of my eyes...I guess I'll turn my gaze inward and see if I can find anything that needs work or ch... Continue reading ...

Well, we survived our Christmases. Yes, we had 6. Yes, it was a blast. Yes, we are exhausted! Christmas Eve took us to my grandparents' house during the early afternoon. Stuffed and laden with presents, we left there to make a quick change of clothing at our house and then head to hubby's parents' house. 
Once the kids had ripped into their scooters and other toys, we were off to hubby's big family Christmas. The food at that one is unbelievable. Seriously, the family is big but, there is alwa... Continue reading ...

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas! I'm gearing up for a day of reluctant cooking and baking while I'm nursing this dang cold. I'm hoping I'll wake up and feel miraculously better! We've got 3 days filled with 6 Christmases so I'm excited and already tired. With fun times for the holidays and big plans on the home front, I'm stoked for the coming weeks. Merry Christmas from Texas Y'all!

Totally doing my Not Me Monday post on Sunday night! Once it's Monday, head over to MckMama's blog and see what everyone else is NOT up to. 
I did not drop a container of laundry detergent on my foot at the grocery store. Said box did not land with it's corner in the skinniest and most sensitive part of my foot. I did not almost cry at the checkout. I did not have to hobble around and wonder if it was broken for the entire day and night. (feeling better now!)Snappy did not get the candy sp...

I found a new blog the other day (and then found his wife's blog so I'm doubly happy) and am jumping on the bandwagon of a new meme(if that's the right word). Feel free to join me, head over to This Daddy's Blog and check it out, leave me a comment with a link to

of it on the top of the most sensitive part o... Continue reading ...

I posted this in a thread over at Blog Frog and after I got going I realized I had so much to say that I wanted to share it here as well! Wordy? Who me? Never!Jessica wanted to know how to handle conflicting beliefs in the family. Not just religious beliefs but, thoughts on Santa and other things as well. Here are my thoughts...
I think that while Christmas is technically
a Christian holiday, it is and has become more of an American holiday.
Meaning, I know plenty of people that aren't religio... Continue reading ...

Not Me Monday
Whew! I haven't done a Not Me Monday post in a while. You can check out other bloggers and what they have NOT been doing in the MckLinky on MckMama's blog.I did not miss the concert I have been planning on going to since the first time I saw the commercial months ago. It's not like it was a Daughtry concert. Not like the opening band was one of my favorite bands. Not like it was something I've been looking forward to for months! I certainly did not cry every time hubby and mother-in-law texte... Continue reading ...

Some of my favorite bloggers have teamed up with HP and Blogher (gotta get on board with that!) and are giving away a new HP TouchSmart computer! Oh my gosh, I want one of those so bad! Seriously, the state of both of our computers is waning. Between my business, obsession with blogging and reading them, TRex's need for playing on PBS.com and my need for Netflix on my computer locked by myself in my office from time to time...well, a new computer would be amazing!Check out these blogs to see ...

I really wanted my next post to be something meaningful. Something well thought out. Something possibly profound. It's not like I procrastinated until 1AM the night I'm going to update the blog or anything. Sheesh! Would I do that? Um, no way! That's not why this isn't a deep post!
Um, I, uh, really wanted to share this recipe! Yeah! That's why!Soooo, here's my super profound and meaningful recipe for y'all! I make this ALL the time. Really. Every other week. Sometimes once a week. It's so ea... Continue reading ...
