Are People Really This Gullible?

This ad popped up here on my site. I did a double take. First, that’s hardly 12 pounds difference. Second, since when did losing weight turn your skin color??ย  Hmmm…interesting.

Wicked Awesome Recipe.

Remember that pumpkin cake I mentioned a couple days ago? It’s really, really good. Really good.

Christmas is Next!

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and you enjoyed gorging! ย  The 2 pecan pies I made got overcooked a big, so I certainly couldn’t serve them to all of the family (Paul’s side) that came. Dh doesn’t like pecan pies, so it’s up to me and dd to finish them off…oh, the horror ๐Ÿ˜€ Since I had leftover pumpkin from the...

I’m Done!!

Wa-hoo, I’m done with my Christmas shopping!! Dh, the kids, my parents and dh’s are all done! Dh has his sister/bil left to do, but that shouldn’t take long. He likes to do his shopping on line; he hates the crowds this time of year. I’m sure there might be something to buy or someone that pops up between now and Christmas, but the...

Today should be a good one. We’re going to the mall to finish up our Christmas shopping then dh is taking the 2 older kids to Madagascar 2. The boy hasn’t been to a movie in the theater yet…we think he’s finally old enough (and settled enough) to sit through a movie. Plus, he loves the first one, so he should be attentive for...

Friday Funny.

In the hospital the family members gathered together in the waiting room, where their family member was gravely ill. Finally the doctor came in, looking tired and somber. “I’m afraid I’m the bearer of bad news,” he said as he surveyed the concerned faces. “The only hope for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It’s an experimental surgery, very risky...
