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...

We had a wonderful holiday week and weekend. Thanksgiving was filled with family and food and both were rather enjoyable. We're lucky that our families live within an hour of each other and stagger the meals. My family does lunch and hubby's family does dinner so it works out wonderfully for us! Of course I forgot my camera. You know what? I didn't even mind that much. Sometimes it sure is nice to just enjoy the day. And we did just that. My mom took this quick pic of Snappy and me and I looo... Continue reading...

I lived in fear for over 15 years of my life. It wasn't abuse or even a
tangible object that held me captive. I struggled with anxiety and
panic disorder for over a decade and it ruled my life. I
remember my first panic attack. I was 7. At that age it's not likely
you know what's going on and it's impossible to explain it. I remember
trying desperately to tell my confused father what I was experiencing.
I would feel that frustration for a very long time.By the time I was in my late teens I ha... Continue reading...

A recent thread on Blog Frog got me thinking about destiny, serendipity and pain in the butt moments in time. I've thought about this a lot in my life. Is there desitny? Is there fate? Do things happen for a reason or is it all just random coincidence? After years of life and pondering, I truly think that everything happens for a reason. Everything.The toilet overflowing.
The tree on the windshield.

We had such a good time this weekend!Saturday night hubby and I got to go out on date night. It's been so long that we'd seriously forgotten what it was like to go somewhere without the kids! We went to see a fantastic play that my dad was starring in and had such a good time. The play was wonderful and it was so nice to do grown up things and see my brother and sister in law. The kids had a blast in our absence. Hubby's cousin's wife (and my good friend) came over and stayed with them while ... Continue reading...

So, I think today might be the last day of smoking for hubby and me. I'm not doing any fruity backflips over this. I've been smoking for almost 15 years. I know. That is really terrible. The only times I have stopped were when I was healing after appendicitis and during my two pregnancies. I honestly don't think it's the nicotine that I crave so much as the habit and going through the motions of smoking at certain times. It's a very normal thing in my life. I'm not thrilled to give it up. Yes... Continue reading...
