When did you order them Nelle?! lol

We ordered our dresses for my SIL wedding in like I dunno August? Or September....and we got them like 2nd or 3rd week of January. The lady told us, that they don't ship, make, or do ANY dresses in the month of December...cus the majority of ANY bridesmaid dress you get comes from China...and December is Chinese New Year...they don't work. Which means they don't ship either!

 Ah....tis a good day. The rains are gone, the yard is dry enough that the septic system works, and I am off of work. My wife is not happy though- I told her last night we'd need to drop the car off at the bodyshop Monday, and I'd bring a rental car home Monday night. As usual, she didn't think hubby had anything to say worth listening to, and just nodded "u-huh" and continued on her merry way. She called to remind me to come pick her up in a bit- she took the car over today. And they went ahead and started, so she can't get it back. Thus- she is car-less for her weekend off. All because she was too busy to talk to me.  :biglaugh:

And I have baked the blackberry swirl cheesecake and have it cooling- looks awesome.  :fork: And finally in sharing- I received a call from a good friend who is police chief of a small town nearby. He's like a brother to me, and is Bro. Papa's youngest son. He is currently out of church, but I know God is working on him.. Anyway, he wants me to come work part time for him on my days off. This is an answer to prayer in several ways- 1) It'll give me an excuse to be around him more often, and thus church WILL come up, it always does. 2) It'll let me be a real cop again occasionally. I've been going nuts at my fulltime job, because strangely enough I miss real police work. What I do at the capitol bears no resemblence to police work other than carrying a gun and wearing a uniform.  And 3) an extra $350 to $400 a month will definately be appreciated in my budget. And he told me to work the hours around my schedule- like friday after dropping Chey off, I can patrol, write speeding tickets, and generally have a blast, without interferring with church or my fulltime job. :clap: :clap2: And an added bonus- Bro Papa's BBQ stand is in that little town, and it is open on Fridays.... :fork:

So you admit that cops ENJOY writing us speeding tickets?    :noo:

Thanks guys.  I am trying to learn. I started out knowing nothing about health. I feel like the Lord threw me into it to help me.  The more I learn, the more I feel like it's wisdom God intended us all to have. I grew up microwaving everything from a can.  Aside from the occasional bisquick pancakes or drop biscuits.
It really is a journey.  I want to be more Christian than American.

I grew up with a mom who was very health-conscious, but with the way the info has ballooned in our world during the last few years, even she has been finding out stuff that she never knew before. And while I'll never know as much about being healthy as my mom or MY, I DO want to feed my family good food, and not use chemicals in my home (hate those cleaning agents and stuff - it's no wonder I used to have breathing problems when I'd clean the bathroom!) and be good a good steward of the health and resources God has given me.

Seriously, My, that chat on the phone a couple weeks ago REALLY helped with the diet issues I'm currently dealing with. Just knowing about some other flour options and whatnot was really helpful. AND... my cousin in Portland sent me some home-ground flour (3 difference types - pea, rice, and quinoa) for me to try. Thankful, 'cause buying it locally was looking like it was going to be crazy expensive. :o

Just finished reading Rasmus and the Vagabond to the boys. They really liked it, and the ending surprised them. Yay! Love it when I can surprise them with something. Sometimes they're just too smart. ;)

Ruby - in reference to making something special for your hunny...you could hand make some love notes to put at the bottom of his lunch each day!

Jenn - I leave him notes in his lunchbag fairly often, so I'm not sure it's special anymore. *lol* Maybe I need to rent a billboard. :cool: ROFL! Right. He'd shoot me. With green goo. Or spaghetti sauce. Or something.

I take that as a compliment.  Adina seems like a pretty amazing Godly lady. ☺

I did end up being able to get groceries.  Now to put up my clothesline and start some seedling plants.  NO WEEDS this year.

Who wants to put together a puppet stage and sew curtains for me?!

SippinTea

I don't think I'd be much help on putting together the stage, but I can definitely sew curtains.  :cool:

I can't believe I'd ever say such a thing as this, but....I wish you were here to whip them up for me. lol  :P

LOL.. it's as simple as it gets.  Suprisingly hard to make tight actually though.

I made a new meal (from pinterest) and it was really good!  It was Mediteranean Chicken/Pasta.  Last night I made cheddar squash casserole and it was good too!  Another pinterest recipe. 

I tried a 2 ingredient lemon bar recipe.  I thought the entire can of lemon filling was too much so I didn't add it all.  I should have.  The angelfood cake puffed up too much.  It still tastes great, just not what I was trying to accomplish.  It had rave reviews though. 

Also, I bought Teff flour.  It's from the world's smallest grain?  It's supposed to be healthy though.  And I found quinoa spagetti pasta today for $1.69 for 10?oz. !  That's a deal for GF.

Cheese, Cheese, Cheese... I don't have to BE there to sew them for you, you silly piece of orange and yellow mold. All you'd have to do is send me the measurements of the frame. Really. Simple as that. :)

Been sewing like a mad woman today. Tomorrow I really must catch up on housework. Ugh. I'd rather be sewing. *lol* Or cooking. Or something.
