*Like It or Not...This Is Me*

Well my nephew isn't here today, he had his echocariogram today.  We found out he has a hole in his heart and when he is 5 he will have a procedure(doctors' term) to fix it!  Also he has 2 valves rather than 3(don't know exactly what my sister was saying, but that is what I heard.  She was a bit distraught you know!  I am praying so much for his little heart to heal well.  Thus...poor little bugger.

Made my peppermint bark...mmmm it is good.  All great chefs MUST taste everything they make. lol  It is amazing how easy and inexpensive it is.  All I did was buy a 20 ounce package of almond bark and 2 pkgs canycanes(peppermint).  Melt the almond bark and crush the candy leaving some chunks and saving  some for the top.  Ok...when the bark is melted, mix in the crushed candy canes, pour onto a cookie sheet with either wax  or parchment paper and spread it out to about a quarter inch thick, sprinkle remaining candycanes on the top and throw in the fridge till firm and then break it up or cut it up.  EASY as 1, 2, 3.  I was price checking and for a pound of peppermint bark in our area is about nine to ten dollars.  I made 20 ounces for three dollars.  YAY for me!

Last night was the church school program.  Why is it they never have their shit together?  They were walking in and out like they were lost.  My kids weren't in it, it was only the 3 year olds through sixth grade kids(mine are seventh and ninth graders.  However, my wonderful son voluteered to help(part of his confirmation requirements) and he helped the kiddo in the wheelchair and he also did  reading.  He is so wonderful but still a spoiled brat! hee hee

SHELLY---No...Big Big Tittie isn't leaving us...just an extra cage laying around taking up space I don't have! 

So I bought this fabric softener I like...Downey Simple Pleasures Lavender/Vanilla, went to use it yesterday and it was all coagullated(?sp?).  That was so very gross.  I took it back and I guess alot of people were bringing them back because they were frozen on the way to the store.  That was so gross.

It snowed last night...enough for me to have to go out and shovel before I left.  I hate winter.  Didn't pay to shovel though, the wind blew it all back to where it was!  I hate winter.  Ok, I really don't but I hate shoveling!

Paid the water bill today.  I forgot to do that last week and they already put a note on our door for a disconnect.  Hello, a week late and you are shutting us off.  At least they let us know that we were late.  I completely spaced it out.

Been a busy night and morning, I had to keep going to the basement and relight the pilot.  I thought the jerk-ass guy had fixed it.  At least there is a 90 day warranty on his work.  He is usually pretty awesome, but whatever. 

Finally got my espresso cups and copper/glass pitcher I had bought on EBAY.  They are so nice.  I am going to display them when my kitchen is done.  YAY!

Well I wrote enough andyou all are sleeping so TAKE CARE...
