I think this was the morning she ate a bag of chocolate.

Yup.

Then Ian and I had fun taking pictures of the hair cut he gave himself.

See how short it is?
Posing with brother will fix everything!

Then with me.......

Then brother, alone

Notice the tired confusion. Poor thing!

I know i should be in bed-but I need to share. The deoderent in my pits feels weird after a week of not.

So yeah, I made butter.

I whipped some heavy raw cream and at this point in the video, it just clicked. I mean clabbered, I mean churned into butter.

Its nice. Its raw. No one likes it but me.

Too bad for them!

I put a turkey breast in the crock pot today. So good!

What to do with ground beef?

We got some ground beef at a great deal $1.89 a lb.

Now, what to do with it? Mind you, I am not turning on the oven and the grill is about out of propane.

Last night I decided to make individual meatloaf type patties, potatoes baked in the crock pot and fresh steamed broccoli

First was the meat.

Notice the look of concentration! He is "reading" the part about washing your hands.

Next mix two eggs...

An orange bell pepper, onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and misc other spices.....

Then stop and take a pic of sister.......

I pan fried these on a med heat....

These tuned out OK, but hind sight, I should have chopped the onion and pepper finer.

I am glad we have ketchup!

Tonight?

ooh la la!

Hearty Southwest Stew.

• 2 lbs of ground beef



• 1 onion



• 1 can chopped tomatoes (I had whole stewed)



• 1 cup salsa (I used a can of rotel)



• 1 can of pintos ( I had northern)



• corn



• cumin



• garlic powder



• salt &pepper



• cheese for the top

Fry the meat and onion. Put everything in but the cheese after the meat is cooked!

I had to add some more water, and an extra fresh tomato. I let it simmer for about half an hour. It was so yummy! I served it with some rolls and butter!

There was no left overs!

I caved in~

I sprayed my yard and part of my house for bugs. Hopefully it will really work. So far I have found many dead crickets, a dead black widow, and some other miscellaneous ones like silver fish and ear wigs. So, only time will tell if the dreaded ones are gone.

Steve thinks I shouldn't talk so candidly about the subject. Maybe I shouldn't, but it is a part of the daily living in this house, and I do have to deal with them on a daily basis.

Maybe it would explain to everyone why part of my hair is missing? Or why I panic when I am on the phone with someone gasping "Oh no! Its near the babe!" When someone asks whats going on? Should I casually suggest "nothing" as I am exacting revenge on a seemingly indestructible creature? Or why I am manically laughing while I am flushing the toilet for the third time in a ten minute conversation?

No, I tell everyone in hopes that they, if ever in this situation, would get some comfort or maybe find humor in the situation.

I wonder what it's going to be next?
