Rambly Bambly time.

Official CoverWorking on Witness to the Moon this week.

 

What do I have to ramble about today? My brain is a mess because I’m trying to do a bunch of things at once. My mom asked if I’d make some homemade bread and banana bread. Now I couldn’t make the traditional banana bread that I personally make because we have no sour cream so I made a traditional banana bread like most people make. For the regular bread, I made Challah bread. We love to snack on it. I don’t do the braid, I do a regular loaf. And when I make it, I dump everything into the bread machine, then turn it to dough cycle. My hands no longer can stand the kneading motions.

Here is a good (read: similar) recipe for the Challah bread that I make. I’ll try and get my own recipe up here soon. http://ift.tt/1YtS0nR

Sure, you can take the time to braid and do it all nicely, but I don’t. My method of cooking involves dumping everything into a bowl and mixing. haha Seriously. I really do that. I dump all ingredients for the banana bread into a giant bowl (I doubled the recipe so we could also have a loaf) and then mixed it up. None of that mix wet, then dry bidness for me. I ain’t got time fo that! Most of the time I do it now. Do it for my biscuits, cookies, etc., and I still get compliments on my cooking.

Had a heck of a time with my laptop working slow today so I’m surprised I got as many words as I did.

The story was fine, the laptop and programs kept hiccuping though. Drove me nuts. I’d have to pause and wait for it to catch up. Needless to say I issued the laptop a lot of very dirt “shape up or ship out” looks. Please don’t ship out laptop, I do love you. :D

Lucy gets spayed tomorrow.

You wanna send her some prayers and healing vibes, that’d be lovely. She is our 9-lbs Shih Tzu darling baby. Seriously. She has my brother wrapped around her little tootsies. Being so small we’re concerned that everything will go all right. It’s a normal procedure I am aware, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a concern. After her, the only one left to fix will be Cheyenne. Our black beauty. I’ll share a Lucy Goose (one of my many nicknames for her) photo –

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c...

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...
