Easy Now
I'm really into hot tea. I am especially into tea that helps me out in some way or another. I love Celestial Seasoning's Sleepytime Extra tea before bed. It contains Valerian and Chamomile which put me in such a great mood and helps me fall asleep. I recently discovered Traditional Medicinals Organic Easy Now Herbal Tea for stress and tension at Kroger in their organic section. This little tea bag helps me stay sane. I am pretty high-strung to say the least and Easy Now really works for me. It even helps tension in my shoulders. I love Easy Now...
The neighbors with the toilet in their front yard
This morning at around 8 a.m. someone knocked on our door. I hate when people knock on my door. I feel like I am forced to answer it because my car is in the driveway. I hate that. So I looked out our bedroom window and I didn't recognize the person but he apparently knocked on the door then took 10 steps backward. It was odd. My husband answered the door. When he got back in bed I asked him what that person needed and my husband said that the man just wanted to make sure he could have our...
I try to avoid small towns in Alabama
This past weekend (11.20.09-11.22.09), a small group of my friends and I went camping at Dismals Canyon located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Northwest Alabama. As a general rule I try to avoid small towns in Alabama. I am not defending or explaining myself on this matter. But my husband and I were invited on this particular trip and I decided what the hell a. I loved camping as a child and b. I have been to Dismals Canyon a couple of times when I was younger and I thought my husband would really enjoy seeing Dismals...

The happiest girl in the whole U.S.A.
When I was little my mother would wake me up every morning by singing the lyrics to the 1st verse of this song by Donna Fargo. Old country music stars make me happy. I wonder what my husband Ben would do if i woke him up by singing something like this... It would probably scare him, especially if I was wearing a dress like hers. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We are going camping at Dismal Canyons in Alabama this weekend. Lets hope I make it. Good morning' morning, hello sunshine Wake up sleepy head Why'd we move that bojangle...
These are not cookies…
After my Pecan Pie Disaster, I wanted to redeem myself and I had previously signed up to bring a dessert to my Porch Swing Media meeting Sunday night. I make cookies all of the time but what didn't occur to me is that I usually use frozen cookie dough or a mix. Once again this recipe came from my Southern Generations cookbook.
Backyard Composting
(This post is my response to Amber Oswalt's recent comment:
Hey! I want to start a compost pile! How can I do that?)
Kirby(my roommate) used wooden pallets and chicken wire to make it. We put in leaves, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea bags, any table scraps (except meat) and the pumpkin I carved for Halloween. We usually keep a bowl in the kitchen and empty it into the compost bin daily. Oh and my friend Danielle added worms to our bin, which maybe is the most important part....How Not to Bake Pecan Pie
I blame my recent marriage for my sudden need to cook. Maybe it is because of all of the sweet kitchen appliances, cookbooks and fun bowls we received as wedding gifts or maybe it is because I promised my then fiance that once I was done planning a wedding I would start cooking more. Whatever the reason, I have been trying to cook and mostly sucking at it. Everyone keeps saying, "You will get better" or "it takes practice." I appreciate my friends trying to encourage my new hobby but maybe I'm just meant to bring the napkins and forks. Side note:...
Unfriend is the 2009 Word of the Year
While driving home after work and listening to NPR, I heard that Unfriend is the 2009 New Oxford American Dictionary Word of the Year. I admit that it makes me feel sane to deny a friend request when I have no idea who a person is or when I deny a friend request because I am not friends with that person but i am not sure that I have ever unfriended someone. It also makes me wonder if I have been unfriended at least in the social networking world. Shouldn't the Word of the Year be a positive word instead of...
