John David's Photoshoot

John spent time with his awesome friend Rachel a couple of week ago & they had fun doing a JD photoshoot.  Rachel took the pics & JD edited them.  I think they turned out great.

I love that they did something so cool and creative!

Seven Years

I saw a commercial that mentioned that the product was for people 50 & over & I thought, "I'm going to be 50 in no time!"

I'm 43.  Seven years!  I'm was worrying about my fifties, and I realize that I'm not even living my 40's.  Part of that is because of my gastroparesis and bi-polar/anxiety, but part of it is just me.  Doing nothing.  Hiding instead of living.  It's safer this way.

I've started a daily journal and both there and here I'm going to explore ways that I can live my life instead of wasting any more time.  Anyone else out there feeling the same way?

One Of Those Moments!

While yelling at the TV last night about how much politics sucks, I paused to say I felt sorry for my mom because my dad would be yelling at the TV about how much politics sucks.  Eeeek!

Gorgeous Free Earrings!

Who doesn't love something free?  Especially if it's free & really pretty, right?  Well check these out!

My picture doesn't do them justice, but they are the prettiest little diamond like earrings & come in a fun heart shaped box.

Want your own pair?  All you have to do is go to Diamond Earrings.  No the're not real diamonds, so I'm not sure why the web-site is called that, but they really do dress up any outfit!

Best Ever Kool-Aid Play Dough

My boys are way beyond the play dough age, but I miss making this for them & playing with them.

Kool Aid makes each flavor smell great, especially the grape, lime & cherry.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 (1/4 ounce) package Kool-Aid
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons oil

Directions
1.  Mix dry ingredients, add wet.
2.  Knead until smooth (careful - it's hot!)
3.  Grab your cutters and rollers and play away.

Store in a sealed container, freezes well if you want to make ahead for holiday gifts.

Monday Moanin'

<a href="http://screamingmimitoo.blogspot.com/2010/11/monday-moanin.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z78/mikerin3/Premades/MondayMoanin.png" /></a><br />


Time for another Monday Moanin'.  My hope for Monday Moanin' is to get all of the crap out there on the table so hopefully we can move on with our week.

Grab a button & play along!

1. The insurance settlement came in for our car, not nearly enough to get another car.  At least we're done with the insurance company.
2. I've got to go to my Dr. this morning.  He's a great doctor who spends lots of time with his patients, but you have to wait at least an hour past your appointment time.  If he wasn't the only person I've found who could control both my gastroparesis, and my bi-polar, I'd leave him in a minute.
3. If I hear that Train song Hey Soul Sister on one more commercial I'm going to throw something.  I like the song, but the commercials have ruined it for me.
4. We ran out of candy last night for Trick or Treating.  I left Chris in charge of buying the candy & can't complain about it though.
5. I can't find anything that I can eat.  I can't force down food that I don't want, I throw up.  My brain keeps telling me that I need to eat, but nothing is working.

Today is the start of NoBloPoMo, so wish me luck!
