The Simple Woman's Daybook Monday July 13, 2009

For Today...

Outside my window... the beginnings of another hot day :(

I am thankful for... air conditioning!

From the kitchen... squash & bbq pork roast...yum!

I am wearing... the same outfit I wore to church yesterday....black slacks and pink & black sheerish top...with new pink and silver necklace & earrings from Charming Charlies!

I am reading... Whatever my precious daughter tells me I need to be reading (ha, ha, ha!). The 3rd (?) in Adriana Trigiani's series "Home to Big Stone Gap"

I am hoping... for cooler weather?

I am creating... lots of things in my mind...just can't seem to put them in action.

I am praying... thankfulness for hubby's speedy recovery.

Around the house... little piles... here, there, and everywhere!


One of my favorite things... the laughter from my family.

A few plans for the rest of the week... shopping for just the right birthday gift for DIL, joining the local rec center and GOING EVERY day, Bunko, allergy shots & hair removal (TMA!!).

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...



Roxy gets a bath yesterday and it tuckered her out!


P.S. And she had nothing to do with the "Around the house" statement....

Hamburgers????

I seem to have a run on food blogs these days.....this is from the past holiday on the 4th.


Nice little burger sliders (you can order your own slider maker from Billy Mays <RIP> here).



Or NOT?? Look closer. These are cupcakes! For real! I got the idea from Bakerella and hers are much better than mine.

For the step by step instructions you can check her site out. The only difference in hers and mine was the "lettuce". She used green icing and I tinted coconut green and used it for the "lettuce".

Well, maybe there was more than ONE difference.....my kitchen afterwards?! Oh, and she served fries with hers....maybe next time...

Computer troubles

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called my favorite son-in-law, and asked him to come over.

He clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?

He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID Ten T error? What's that?

In case I need to fix it again.'

He grinned. 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error Before?'

'No,' I replied.

'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it Out.'

So I wrote down:

I used to like the little brat.

Whew! What a weekend~~

Late night project gone south...

Due to a loooonnnnnnggggg evening nap, we (Skippy {hubby} & I) ventured into a project last night after MIDNIGHT.... This was the end result and thus the answer to last night's question. "What it is??"



Did you guess strawberry jam??



Well that is what it was... We had somewhat of a run away porridge experience with it as when it began to boil it began to LEAP out of the pan.

Oh, what a delicious mess~~~

What it is??

Equivalents

A man climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough to talk to God.

Looking up, he asks the Lord, “God, what does a million years mean to you?”

The Lord replies, “A minute.”

The man asks, “And what does a million dollars mean to you?”

The Lord replies, “A penny.”

The man asks, “Can I have a penny?”

The Lord replies, “In a minute.”
