Where has the time gone?

How is it that it is already the last half of January? Where has the time gone? It seems like it was just Christmas. Of course, it could be that I have been sick since Christmas and haven't left the house. I got some reading done and some stitching done. But I still have all three of the Christmas trees and all the Christmas decorations still up. One year I left the tree up until March. I imagine I will attempt to undecorate my house this weekend.

Did you make resolutions for the new year? I decided that this year I would improve my baking/dessert skills. I have attempted some thumbprint cookies that are similar to the party cookies we get at the local Bake Shop. I was not impressed with my version LOL This past weekend Jenna and I made a chocolate cake from scratch with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cream cheese frosting - both from scratch. It was AMAZING! I have been pouring over Pinterest to see what to bake this weekend. Do you have a favorite dessert you make? Tell me about it and I might try it :)

Until next time...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am." Oh. my. gah. I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls! Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great. There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down. It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue. It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well. But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

weekly meal plan for July 24, 2023

Hello, friends! I'm back with another meal plan for this week. When I got on the scale Saturday I was back down those pesky 3.5 pounds I've been losing and gaining since May. Let's see if this week I can get passed them. I did learn that I will have to be more diligent about what I eat when we travel home for the weekends. I did not count carbs on either Saturday or Sunday. I did make low carb choices though. So, here's the plan for this week. Monday - fried pork chops and cabbage. This was Billy's request. Tuesday- ground beef stroganoff and mashed cauliflower. Wednesday- shrimp Alfredo. Spaghetti squash for me, noodles for Hubs Thursday- meatballs and marinara. I'm going to eat mine with a salad on the side. Hubs can have his on bread or over noodles Friday- eating out on way home again. This time I'll make a better choice than last Friday. Until next time...

Until Next Time...
