Sugar War!

According to my no sugar counter it has been eleven days since I last enjoyed yummy, yummy, yummy sugar.  

I miss it, I miss it soooooooo much.  I'm pretty sure that I am only a day or two away from having sugar filled dreams.  

I have already started planning my plan of attack for my Thanksgiving no-sugar day off.  After asking the opinion of many friends (who really don't care but are kind enough to pretend to care) what I should enjoy on Thanksgiving.  My favorite answer came from my boss.  

Yes, even my boss has to put up with stories of my no sugar life.  

Sad, I know! 

She suggested I don't go into a diabetic coma by over doing it.  

Who me? 

Over do it? 

She must be thinking of someone else. 

Don't you think? 

She suggested that I take a tiny sliver of all the pies and enjoy a few delicious bites of every kind.

Did you hear that Sharonda? 

A tiny sliver of ALL the pies.

As in many, many, many pies.

Remember when Zaron said he wanted the whole counter filled with pies?

I second that motion...

I third that motion....

The vote carries a whole counter filled with pies.

Of course I can't bake them, to much temptation.  So get baking girl.  A WHOLE counter full.

Why aren't you agreeing?

Ok, blog world my sister-n-law won't make me a whole counter of pies.  Do you think that is fair? Don't you think she should want to make me a whole counter of pies.  Isn't that what family does for one another?

Hey, more no agreeing.

Hummpph!!! Fine!!!  

So what kind of pies would you fill the counter up with?

For me, not real-fruit pies, I'm not big on them...

Traditional pumpkin pie.

Oh, and the not-sot traditional pumpkin & cream cheese pie that my sis-in-law makes.

And "oreo" pie. I was going to make it last week... unfortunately the Oreos got eaten before the pie got made....

And, just to make your mouth pucker, lemon pie made extra sour with condensed milk & fresh sqeezed lemon juice. My Dad likes this one so sour that not even whip cream can calm it down.

Sorry. I really don't think this helped your no sugar diet. But it did make me more excited for Thanksgiving.

I say strawberry. Sure it is the wrong season... but a nice strawberry pie is the best!

One year we had a house full of friends for Thanksgiving. My mother offered to make everyone's favorite pie. She figured that since they weren't with family, she would make them feel as homey as possible. For her, that meant pies. Lots and lots of pies. That year our 21, yes 21, guests requested 19, yes 19, different pies. It was a GREAT Thanksgiving.

Oooooh, okay maybe ruhbard. It is out of season too, but you only get thatone day... you might as well live it up with a nice tart ruhbarb pie.

Yes, I do know that suggesting ruhbarb nearly qualifies me as an octogenerian.

19 pies, 19 pies for 21 people. Doing the math here that means that there was almost enough pies for everyone to have they very own with very little sharing. Hummm...Did you hear that Sharonda you wouldn't want us not to feel "homey." With our numbers you would only have to bake 10 pies. :) Come on....please...

Pumpkin pie is my favorite. My mom always bakes a banana cream pie for Clint, yes he gets a whole pie. He is kind of spoiled. I don't like baked fruit though, like apple or cherry. Just seems unnatural to me. Don't much care for the chocolate pies either. I know, I am very weird. My favorite dessert is Raspberry Jellow Pretzel dessert. Sounds weird, but is oooohhhh sooooo gooood!

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...
