Another Day of Gratitude
Part of being able to love my "domestic duties" is my outlook on them. Yes, it does help that I have mild OCD which makes me despise clutter & dirt. Yes, it also helps that I like the satisfaction that comes with the sparkle after my home is in order. And yes, I am blessed to be fascinated by homekeeping books & experts. But mostly it is my gratitude for what I have. My family is so important to me, and I want to care for them in the best way, in every way, possible. I am grateful for the home we have, whether modest or luxurious. I am grateful for what our hard work provides our family. So that drives me to care for it in a way that shows my pride and

Monday Mama Ranting...
Somebody uncorked the bottle today. Now, normally no one has to wonder what I'm thinking! I am one of those people who lets it all hang out there, no matter what. You want to know my opinion? You'll be sorry you asked! But some things I've been able to just pass on and keep my thoughts to myself. Until today. I guess I've been bottling them up too long? Or else I have some other deep seeded distress that is making me redirect in this way subconciously. Who knows... but apparently I need to get this out of my system. 1. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PROTEST THE NEW RESTRICTIONS ON MAMMOGRAMS! Now they say that you shouldn't get them until you a

Sweet, Lazy Sundays
Not having a computer has put a crimp in things around here. I've been living through my cell phones, but it's just impossible to really function the way I like to. Yes, Blackberry has all the features that enable me to keep up to date on what's going on; my HTC Pro even allows me to blog as if I'm sitting at my laptop. But it's just not the real thing! I like the full size screen vs trying to squint at the small little square on a handheld; and even though the pda's have "Full QWERTY" keyboards, let's face it, no one's fingers are that small! So, needless to say, I am very grateful to have my dinosaur laptop back in operation tod

Bourbon Sauced Bread Pudding -- come on over!
You're all invited over to enjoy some with us! I'm making it right now... Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage 1990. Anthony Bourdain would propose to me after one taste. This was created based on the description my husband gave me of a good bread pudding he had in New Orleans before Christmas. But it was still a little too cakey for him. This one is gooey, ooey, and oh so sinful! My own creation. I'm not sharing it, just in case I make it big in the gourmet world! But I wanted to extend an invitation to all of you to come on over and share it with us. But I am posing this question to all of you: how do you prefer your bread pudding? There
