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.

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.

That makes me laugh SO MUCH.
hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa

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." :)

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....

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...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...
