Yum!

Tonights supper is bacon and cheese covered grilled chicken, with tomato, wrapped in romaine leaf.

My inspiration is the low carb menu at Cracker Barrel. Theirs is sans the tomato and romaine.

Mr Digger wanted his on Texas Toast--- I complied ;)

And while I was cooking someone found the cereal cabinet and helped themselves to cheerios!

There Comes A Time

When you have to let go.

This post isnt for me. Its for others (and one man in particular) who have a hard time letting go, and moving on. Sometimes we have to cut people out of our lives to make our lives what we want them to be. Their purpose in your life is over, and its time to walk away.

1) You can spend your life in one of two ways. You can always be the victim, or you can learn to be the survivor. The choice is yours, and yours alone. When you choose, you have to own that choice. As a child who has grown to be an adult  you can not continue to blame your parents for all their failings. Your failings are now yours. What you do with them will matter, ultimately only to you.

If you plan to continue to take the victim route, dont be surprised when you lose friends, and sympathy from those around you. 10 years later, people are tired of the same excuses for the behavior, the hatred that fills your life, and that inability to be a normal functioning member of society.

Your parents aren't the ones out there applying for jobs, and not getting them. You are. You are your own person. Society has a realm of acceptability, things like gauging and multiple facial piercings are not currently in the realm. 

2) Forgiveness is not really for the person who has hurt you (whether real or imagined) Its for YOU. When you forgive what has happened to you, you set yourself free. You are able to stop dwelling on it, thinking about it or letting it haunt you every day of your life.

I know where you learned to play this role, and I am sorry you had to grow up in an environment that taught you to behave this way.  You come by it honestly, but its up to you to overcome the victim mentality you have learned from the greatest victim of all time, and be something more. Life is not constructed of what other people have "done to you" Its built from what you choose to do about it. 

Help! Ive been sucked in------

Drawsomething by OMGPOP games.


I currently have 18 people Im playing with, more than my last round of Words With Friends.  It started out with me just wondering what people were talking about on Facebook.... one thing led to another and off I went to dig through the app store, in search of, Drawsomething.

Did I plan to download it? Umm yeah, really I did have every intention of downloading it, but I never anticipated that I would wind up playing with so many people and impatiently waiting for them to complete their turn.

I guess this is how fads are born :/ I am not a follower dammit!

Ruffled Homecoming Dress

My friend Jess asked me about a dress she found on Pinterest...  So I went looking, and after checking it out (and the 2 blogs it was associated with) I decided to give it a go at making it for her. Their Navy homecoming is 7 months out, so I have plenty of time right?

Giving credit--- first Heart Break Kids Blog for the American color themed dress and then  Tidbits--- for her original "pattern".


WRONG! One of the other girls from the Zone has homecoming in 2.5 wks... she asked if I could make her one as well! Here we go!

I bought a few items (since I didnt have a lot of red white or blue teeshirts laying around ;) ) and Started on the first one today. So far so good...

Is it half full or half empty?

My plate that is.... This morning I had to make a trip to Owensboro, 60 miles to the north for an 830 appt.

I took lil dude to school... Got had and made it 3 of the 7 miles north towards my house when my truck decided to overheat.

Couldnt happen yesterday, no way! I limped home... Made it into the driveway when it died.i hope beyond hope the engine didn't blow. Ran got the Tahoe and realized my truck is blocking the driveway. By some miracle from God, it started... Pulled it into the yard and took off.

30 minutes late, made my wait to be seen short.

Now jetsetting from one end of the sate to the other... 120 miles to make an 1130 class. I may quit while I'm ahead and just stay home!

Pillowcase Dresses

Everyone makes them... I see them all over Etsy, all over Facebook, all over the place.

So knowing I can create my own, I refuse to  be sucked into buying them for $20 or more, plus I have this really cool new embroidery machine and I can deck them out in awesome designs!
