about me

Did you know that you can type in the degree symbol ° by holding down the Alt key and typing 248? Go ahead try it, I'll wait. Cool eh?

Just a note to anyone making my recipes. If you have taken pictures of them, please feel free to post them right away. I love seeing what others come up with and want them all posted. Thanks!

I CUT MY HAIR! It's awful. I hate it. I am glad my hair grows back fast. I like the color though. Just awful. Ugh.

I am a pierced and tattooed SAHM. I am also very glad to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I see His blessings in my everyday life. I am married to the love of my life and we just passed our 7 year itch anniversary.

I am a Junior Girl Scout Troop Leader, just started. This should be so much fun. All 3 of my girls are in Girl Scouts in one way or another.



I am also very involved in our Celebrate Freedom ministry. It is a God centered 12 step recovery program. I am the worship leader, although the 5yo thinks I suck and should sing "Twinkle Star" and "We Will Rock You". I'll have to see if I can work that into the rotation.




I have 4 children at home - 11, 9, 7, 5. My oldest son is 12 and has severe autism, and he lives with his father. I also have a baby boy - Furrynando. I think he gets the most attention.





Philippians 4:13
I have fibromyalgia and I also have quite a few back problems. I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart

My star system....
5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks!
4* = Very good, but needs 'something'.
3* = We ate it, tried it anyways.
2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead.
1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it.
I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over.

My Blinkie Collection:

Favorite Foods:

My favorite restaurant? The one I go to the most would be Julie's Cafe. It's a down-home cafe, no frills, and kids eat free on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I guess they weren't planning on my troop. 6 people - 15 bucks - priceless

I'm one to make a meal out of the appetizers. I love hot stuff and will try almost anything once, maybe twice to make sure. I've been on a mean buffalo wings kick lately. I just keep telling myself that all that capsicum is good for my pain.

My most famous dish is my deviled eggs. The inlaws and outlaws seem to ask for it at every get-together. They also love my pork ribs, sausage egg skillet, fried potatoes, ... come to think of it, they like all my homestyle foods.
