The Purple Room -- My FIRST posted picture!

Cool color, eh?!!! This is one of the rooms in the house we're working on getting! : ) I like the color of this room.

This is my FIRST posted picture!!! I'm trying it out to see how it'll post!

Here we go!!!!!!........................

Our Offer was Accepted on the House we want!

So -- my husband is wanting to know what colors I want to paint over the RED and ORANGE walls! So I came here to look at the different colors that are on the "text color" pallet! : ) That's all I'm here for right now!!!

Later Gator! : )

I'm back! (after about an hour of looking at a wide range of colors!)

I'm leaning toward a DARK pink, or a soft, pastel pink, or a variety of shades of gray. Maybe a light tan or light brown.

We had fun trying out different things on the computer! We put a dark, dark blue up on the wall, and then put big, bright, yellow, glowing STARS all over the wall! That looked cool!

Also -- we kept the orange, and Kyle took a squared cross shape, where each end came to a point, and he dipped it in white "paint", and put that all over the wall, over-lapping each other, and that looked cool!

We painted the wall black, and a dark gray -- yuck!

We tried bright greens, turquoise blue-green and various shades of purples and blues.

Fun stuff!

But we're both "all funned-out" right now!

We'll play around with the colors another day!

We're done for now!

Bye!

WHAZ UP?!

This is whaz up! : )

We're house-hunting!

What FUN!

What JOY!

I'll be really glad when the right one comes along, and we're able to buy it!!!!!!

Until then -- I'll just sing the song, "Buying a house is fun to do....fun to do....to do, to do!"

My son sent me his grades for this past semester! FOUR "A"s and a "B"! : ) Yay!!!!! That was four computer classes and a music class. He got an "A" in his music class! : ) He's got only one more year of college to go, and he'll be graduating with a Master's degree!

What else............

Um -- I fell yesterday! BAM! Right into the post that holds up the "carport" thing here at our apartments. It was as if someone pushed me real hard into the post, too! I don't know exactly how it all happened, since it happened so fast. I was just going around the big ol' white truck that is parked next to our car, and I fell into the post. Now I have a big ol' bruise on my left upper-arm, and some other aches and pains in other places. But I don't think I broke anything.

I think that's all for now!

Have a good day everyone! : )

How to Blanch Broccoli!!!!!

Hey there, folks!

I bought some broccoli a few days ago, and today, I thought -- I'd better eat it and freeze it so that it doesn't go bad!!!

So -- I "Googled" "how to blanch broccoli", and I found someone's blog with how to do it!

So -- if you want to know how to do it, go to: http://mommylovestosing.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-blanch-broccoli.html

and you will be able to blanch your broccoli, too! : )

I loved the comment that someone left below her instructions -- they said that she heard that in order to get all of the air out of the bag, you should use a straw to suck all of the air out! I tried it, and it worked!

I've never blanched anything before, so I was very proud of myself for doing it! I felt like someone who actually knew what they were doing!

Enjoy your broccoli!! : )

Toastmasters, The Play, and Our House!

OK -- so....last Thursday, my husband was in a Toastmaster speech contest! He didn't win, but he did a great job! : ) I was glad that his Mom was here to hear his speech!!! : )

Then last Saturday was the play! AND our 11th Wedding Anniversary! : ) Yay!

It went well. It was a busy day. I was the prompter, so I didn't have much pressure on me, but everyone else had to get their make-up on, their costumes on and all of that. I took pictures while people were getting made-up. Everyone looked great!

We did two shows -- one for the kids at 4 p.m., and one for the adults at 7:30 p.m. Both went well! And in-between the two shows, we ate dinner and talked about the previous performance! It was fun laughing and making cracks about what people did or didn't do!

After the show, we had cake to celebrate one of the cast member's birthdays! Yummm! It was good cake!

And then, it was all over with.......

Now, we're looking to buy a house, and we're experiencing all of the fun ups and downs that come with the afore-mentioned activity! : )

We hope we're able to get it! I read in the scriptures today that Jesus said that if you believe that it will happen, it will happen, and that nothing is impossible for God!! So I believe it will all work out in our favor! I believe that the "impossible" will be made possible! : )

I think that's all for now......

Have a good day!
