Batteries!!!
I need batteries!!!
For the camera of course, so I can show off my cards I made in Stamp Class.
I will not buy batteries at the store. Where my dear hubby works he can get them for dirt cheap. And I do mean dirt cheap.
And with Christmas coming up, everyone at his work is buying all the batteries. ugghhhh

Birthday card, and Stamp A Stack
My husbands niece turns 4 in a couple of days. She doesn't want to, she wants to stay 3! LOL
I put a card together for her. It's all pink and has a little bling (Stickles) on it. Perfect for a little princess don't ya' think??
I really enjoy going to this card class. I have only been to a couple. Can't wait for the next one!! :)
All products used are Stampin Up.
(The example for this one had a Christmas stamp instead of a birthday stamp. But I would like to send my uncle a birthday card, so I changed it.)

(a Stampin Up stamp was used on the middle image, Stickles on the cake and flower, everything else was purchased elsewhere or given to me)

Lazy day Saturday
Taking it easy today. No special reason.
Headed to meet friends for supper here in a little while.
Then off to a card making class. FUN!!
Kyle got a job at Lambert's, Home of Throwed Rolls. He has to wear a red bow tie, red suspenders, and a blue button up shirt. I think he likes it so far. I know he will like that paycheck!
Oh, those shirts need to be ironed. I dont iron. The only reason I have an iron is because I married someone that already had one. LOL When I buy a shirt/blouse/whatever, take it home and wash it, and it comes out of the dryer all wrinkley (how do u spell that??), back to the store it goes.
Ha! Yep! Back it goes.
Add that to my list of "about me" - I dont iron.
Hubby is washing the Jeep, and I hear a vacuum also. hmmm, maybe I should do something around here since he is working..................
:~)

Gorgeous Weekend
It was absolutely beautiful this weekend. I took a break from cleaning house yesterday, and sat outside and watched the goats. Then I didnt want to go back inside and finish! LOL My babies are getting so big. If you quit petting them, they head butt you. Funny!
I went for a job interview. They should be calling this week for a second round of interviews. *crosses fingers*
Got to get started on some paper crafts items I am wanting to make. Got to get out from in front of the tv though. We just have so many tv shows we like to keep up with now. And then on the nights we dont have anything to watch, I get caught up on housework. And the never ending pile of laundry. geesh!
I am going to try to manage my time better this week. And start eating better. Notice I didnt say "diet". Yep, just need to eat better.
Oh, and exercise.
The dreaded exercise. But got to do something. My time and weight are getting away from me. Oh and had another "episode" Saturday night. I do think it is gall bladder. ugh!!
Yesterday was hubby 41st birthday. His parents took us out to eat on Saturday. Yesterday, he smoked some ribs, yummy! Asked if he wanted to invite his parents, he said "i can only take so much of them". LOL But he got some things done around the house, then we ate, then some friends came over. They were in the area, and stopped to see the house.
Nothing much going on. I like it that way. :)

Personal
Following is a very personal post. If you dont like to read about guns and murder, dont go any further.
No need to comment if you dont want to or cant think of anything to say. I dont know what to say. Just hope that this man stays in jail for as long as he can. And pray that my husband, his sister and his parents will have enough strength to make it thru each day if parole is granted. Knowing that this man could be walking free, breathing fresh air, soaking up the sunshine while they have to go visit their brother, their son, in the cemetery, is very hard to deal with.
We had to drive to St. Louis yesterday. Well, actually, Pacific (150 or so miles from our town). My husbands brother was killed several years ago and the man that did it had a parole hearing yesterday. We are hoping he has to stay in at least 2 more years. Which will be the next time he comes up for parole. Could take up to 8 weeks to hear the decision.
It was a very emotional, stressfull day to say the least.
That man and his wife had been arguing all day. That man said his shotgun was loaded to go hunting. It was not hunting season. Of any kind. We think it was loaded to scare her. Or shoot her.
Andy was with "C", they were going fishing and had stopped at "C's" house to get poles and stuff.
They got to "C's" house and heard the arguing. "C" was trying to calm them down.
Then Andy got involved.
That man had the gun aimed at "C". Andy went to push "C" out of the way, so that his father wouldnt shoot him, his own son. That shot, that man, got Andy instead.
After seeing Andy on the floor, "C" seen that his dad was reloading the shotgun. He had shot the wrong kid. "C" got the shotgun and shot his dad.
That man survived. That man was charged with Manslaughter and Armed Criminal Action.
"C" got off with self defense.
Andy lost his life. Andy was 18. A life taken way too soon.

Another try at a recipie
Ok, I tried another recipie (if you remember, recipies and I dont get along, I know what I am not), and I think it turned out fairly well. Hubby wanted cheese on his. So, half of the pan has shredded cheddar cheese melted on it. Just put it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt cheese, and "poof" hubby is happy.
It's good to have a Happy Hubby. *smile*
I got the recipie from Alea over at Premeditated Leftovers and I used the "easy" version. She also posted how to make it gluten free. I didnt have any yogurt so I substituted 3/4 cup of sour cream for it. Both of my guys liked it, so it will be something that I fix again.
Easy Corn Casserole
1 egg or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 - 8 3/4 oz. can whole kernal corn, drained
1 - 8 3/4 oz. can cream style corn
1 - 8 1/2 oz. pkg. corn muffin mix (Jiffy)
1 - 8 oz. plain fat-free yoghurt
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stir well. Pour into a 8 x 8 greased baking pan. Bake at 350 for 40 - 45 minutes. If I am having a large crowd for dinner, I double this recipe and bake it in a 13 x 9 pan.
Enjoy!
