Creationism or Evolutionism???

By this, I would be talking about food. Is it a creation, or did it evolve from something else? I was making homemade biscuits this morning for my precious mini-me, and realized that the gravy I was going to use had spoiled. So, with some ideas, I made different toppings for the biscuits. We had them buttered, topped with grape jelly, and dusted with cinnamon and sugar. Not at the same time, of course. My ex-in-laws used various foods together to make "odd" combinations, such as lettuce with whipped cream on top (yeah, I know!). If you have an odd but tasty topping for biscuits, please submit them, we have plenty left to experiment with!!!

Weather!

Weather is a great photo op. This one I took today before the storm started, and I submitted it to Weather Warriors (weather.com) and it is currently displayed at Hood County News (hcnews.com).

Happy Birthday General Granbury

I know, it's been awhile. This weekend we visited the rides at the annual General Granbury's Birthday Celebration. We didn't spend much time, but knew the kids would be disappointed if they didn't go at all.

I am told that the slide was "EXTREME, DUDE!"

(I hope so, at 4 tickets per child)

Grand Spring Ball

Christian recently went to a ball held at Pecan Plantation. It was for his Cotillion class which, has helped him learn proper etiquette and taught him to dance!!! My favorite part is getting to dance with him--we've done the waltz, the foxtrot, boxstep and Cupid's Shuffle! Someday he will thank me...right?

Angela

This would be my daughter, 5 going on 16.

Paraskevidekatriaphobia

Can anyone say this as fast as my son can? This term means "the fear of Friday the 13th". Can you believe this has a name? Apparently almost 17 MILLION people suffer from it, and businesses lose hundreds of thousands of dollars from it. My mother was born on Friday the 13th, and hence she has NO problem with it. Well, all you superstitious people out there, there is one more of these this year--in November. Smile!

Yeay!

I just found out that Dog will be going to a good home. That makes me so happy and relieved!! It's raining today, and it's cold. I thought the cold was gone, but SURPRISE! LOL Tevin asked me yesterday for chili for dinner tonight. I had told him that chili is a "winter" food, that it was too hot for chili. Then Robert came home, and I relayed his request. Robert, too, said it was too hot for chili. Then this morning, I wake up to the thermometer reading 44!!! I guess we're having chili tonight!

Dog

I am a sucker for animals, specifically dogs. I can't stand those ASPCA commercials that show animals in cages or that have been abused or starving with those sad songs in the background. I have to change the channel before I cry.

My father in law passed away in November, leaving his dog, Dog, behind. He's really old and a great companion for a single person. He's not real patient with kids or other dogs. My brother in law took him in, but now he's moved and can't keep him. We have been trying to find him a home. Where he is at now, the people are going to call Animal Control today to come pick him up. It is a sad day. He won't last long there, and will probably suffer the same fate as his previous owner. Life just seems so unfair and cruel it just makes me sick. We already have a wonderful dog, Sasha, who would probably get eaten by Dog because she is utterly annoying and craves constant attention! Not that I can handle another animal on top of 3-4 kids and a husband...

Clueless

Okay so I'm new to this whole blogging thing. I have been inspired by a special friend in my life who is SO CREATIVE...her blog kicks butt! But I will try this and see how it goes, see how many people I can entertain. :)
