Talkin Back, Again

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” Dr. Seuss

Then just do do them. There, done. You don't have to do anything you don't want to.

I have not been skinny dipping.

ME: See you can answer tags when your answer is "No, I have never been skinny dipping." Some of us are not so quick with the No, I've never done that.

Oh, you're official now. The money is paid and there's no turning back. I'm praying for melted snow. Promise!

ME: Emily it is a beautiful day with lots of sun your praying worked. Keep it up so that we can get outside and train.

Just in case I haven't told you lately, I love "Talkin' back".
Keep it up, please!

ME: The one thing I don't like about blogging is sometimes it seems so one sided. 

Emily has left a new comment on your post "Registered! What Have I done?":

BTW, did you say y'all? I love it!

ME: Yes sometimes my dad comes slipping out. :) That and reading your blog probably has rubbed off on me. :)

At first I thought you were talking about Wendy then I started reading the story, you should have used the word eccentric (sorry if that is spelled wrong.) Funny story, Funny story.

ME: We have to be impressed with how strict she is about her diet. It is hard to be that disciplined. But ya I thought it was funny too.

Me, Myself and I has left a new comment on your post "The Health Nut!":

That makes me laugh SO MUCH.
hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa

ME:  :)

Mmmmm.... chlorine! That marvelous chemical that keeps nasties out of our public pools, stains out of our whites, and can purify water in a pinch.

I received a similar lecture from a "health nut" when I used mineral oil to preserve eggs. I had heard that rubbing fresh eggs with mineral oil will keep the eggs from spoiling for up to a year. So, I rubbed eggs, stashed them in the back of my refrigerator, and waited patiently. We tried one egg every month. As I coated 18, at the end of the year we had scrambled eggs for breakfast (I did do a sniff check to make sure they were not rotten). My friend was appalled, "don't you know how horrible mineral oil is? I can believe you would use it for anything."

Well, I have a few "fresh" eggs in my food storage.... know what that means??? CAKE!!!

ME: I have never heard of putting mineral oil on eggs. It really worked? Guess I know where I'm headed if there is ever a disaster. Willow has CAKE!!!

I LOVE READING!!!! I almost only read books that have been recommended or that I have heard a lot of talk on. My kindle shipped on Saturday, I should have it any day know, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I am so excited and I am not like this normally.
happy reading.

ME: If your Kindle disappears I just want to say for the record, "I have no idea what happened to it." :)

Emily has left a new comment on your post "Biking 45 Miles!":

How do you Twit on a spin bike? I've really got to learn this Twit stuff. I'm feeling so left out and confused.
Good luck tomorrow!

ME: To twit on your bike you park your bike right next to the sofa. Pop open the laptop on the sofa and twit away. It was lots of fun and I really enjoyed it.  I might have to figure out how to Twit once I get out on the road. Heck with the amount of miles I have to ride I just might come visit each and everyone of you.

The mineral oil totally worked! It was easy... rub eggs all over, place pointy end down, date carton, stash in the back of the fridge. After about 2 months, I cracked them into a seperate bowl and checked for spoilage before using them.

Terrible mother of the year moment... when our year long egg experiment was over, I made a scrambled eggs with the six remaining. I then fed the eggs to my sons. Why didn't I eat them first?... Someone was going to have to drive them to the hospital if the whole thing was a flop. Yeah, be glad I'm not your mommy.

All was well... the eggs tasted fine (yes I did taste them), and no one was taken to the hospital.
YEAH CAKE!!!!!!!!!!

In addition to cake, we also have mints, tootsie rolls, hershey kissables, and other candies. I am also working on storing the ingredients for hot fudge sauce. You know what they say, "store what your family will eat." Maybe I should have some real food on hand too....

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
