I am Happy Happy Happy...pretty much :-)

 I have made some really good friends over here. 

We go out, talk and sometimes laugh until we cry.

We all have a different story to tell and bring something different into our friendship.

Deb owns the Inn in town and is this free spirited woman who loves to smile.  Steven manages a resort outside of town and he never fails to make us all giggle but is right there when a serious conversation is needed. 

 I am secretly hoping the two of them will become more than just friends but even if that never happens, I will be content for all of us to continue as is.

Deb makes this amazing Peanut Butter pie and even though it is a "secret recipe", I hope to one day get her drunk enough to give it to me! hahaha

We are having a birthday party for Steven Thursday. He will be 42. Our friends at the Bar&Grill are hosting it.  It is nice to have friends in high places. *smile*

I do need to get my hands on a Cheesecake recipe.  It is Stevens favorite but I have never made one that didn't come out of the box!  I will youtube it!

I guess this proves you are never too old to make close friends.  Just got to open up a little and let people in.

Update!!!  They got together!... Then they broke up. LOL.. Oh, I still don't have that recipe. :o)

Cricut love...

Those infomercials really do sell poducts! LOL  I watched the one fo the Cricut Expession and just had to have me one.  I am not a scrapbooking type of gal but I cannot wait to play with vinyl.

Aaaaand if I just hate it, I have 30 days to decide if I want to keep it. 

 It is a win win situation.

I aleady have my fist project planned and will post pics after it is done....if my Cricut will ever get here.

Chip! Chirp!

Update!  I sent it back.  Turns out, I am afraid of crickets.. ;)

Goodbye Nirvanna

Nirvanna died today.  I loved that cat.  He lived 12 years and I think this solidifies everything about the past few months.
A chapter in my life has ended.  Going, going, gone.
I told Chelsea to tell Jack.  He will be sad.

My boys are all but grown now.  Logan at sixteen is quite the little man.  They are all such handsome young men and I couldn't be prouder of them.
When we bought Vanna home the boys were all so little.  So many years shared with him.

Rest in peace old man.  I am not sure what God's plan is for pets, but I hope to see you again in my Heaven.

I am tired of being harassed. You are insignificant to me. Troll if you must. I don't care anymore.

Where is the cable guy????

Day 27 of no cable.....

Suds in a bucket...

 I have about three pounds of Goat's Milk soap.  I have had it about two years now and back then decided that I wanted to make soap.  I was terrified to work with Lye so this venture did not last long.

Today I pulled out the soap.  Huge hideous mass of soap.  The perk is that when I cut a tiny piece off, it was so silky and felt awesome on my hands.  Cool!

So I am on a hunt to find a recipe (EASY) that I can convert these big ole chunky bars into liquid soap.

The easiest one by far that I have found is the one on buzzle.com:

How to Make Liquid Soap: Recipe #2

Ingredients Required


•1 Soap bar


•5 tbsp of Olive oil


•Water


Procedure


Here is a easy homemade soap recipe. Grate the soap bar. Now boil 1 cup of water in a cooking bowl or saucepan. Once it boils, add olive oil and grated soap to it. Mix the ingredients well, you can use a blender for this purpose. Heat the mixture again. Add about 3-4 cups of water, stir well and the let it cool down. Fill it up in the liquid soap bottles. You can increase the amount of olive oil if required. You can also add fragrance and colors if desired and mix well, before the mixture cools down
 
Tomorrow I have to be somewhere..busy busy LOL  So Tuesday I am going to see if I do not turn my soap into a gloppy gooey mess. 
 
Muah!
