Molten Cocolate Cupcake

2011-06-30T17:40:00.000-07:00

Yum! I absolutely love these cupcakes!!!! So creamy, so... so... awesome :) Make sure you dont over-cook it, or it will just be a cupcake, and you dont want just a cupcake, you want a freakishly awesome cupcake!

1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars, cut into bite-size chunks
5 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 teaspoons flour

Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour or matzo meal until just combined. (Batter can be made a day ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before baking.)
Before serving dinner, adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with 8 extra-large muffin papers (papers should extend above cups to facilitate removal). Spray muffin papers with vegetable cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups.
Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and transfer
Garnish with powdered sugar and enjoy to your hearts content!

Ok, I'm COMPLETELY out of ideas. I haven't cooked in a while because, well, its summer. And dad cooks (grills, actually) most of the time. So if y'all get bored, send me a couple of recipes to my email. I am telling you, I am out of ideas. So, help me out a little please!

Dad's Sausage Recipe

2011-05-28T10:50:00.000-07:00

So, this recipe, is absolutely the best. Now, dad's recipes are very unique, because they are ALWAYS different every time without fail. So take that as a warning, as I'm guessing the measurements and all. Also remember that this "recipe" feeds 7 hungry people with a little extra. Hope y'all will use it at some point!

2 tbsp. salted butter
1 large red onion
2 tbsp yummy garlic :)
2 packages of turkey kielbasa sausage
4 tbsp. spicy mustard
4 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 cups of rice ( we use brown rice, but personally, I love white rice)
4 cups of hot water

Start the rice first. (You know, rice and water, heat up till boiling, turn down the temp, cover, until the water is gone)
While the rice is cooking:
Slice the red onion so you have these long, thin strips of onion. Melt the butter in a large pan, and saute the onions and garlic till the onions are soft and tender. Cut up the sausage, and add them, the Worcestershire sauce, and the mustard into the onions. Heat on low, about 10 minutes or until the rice is done.
"Slap on" the rice on a plate, pile on sausage, put a couple of drops of soy sauce (come on now, I don't care what else you put on rice, soy sauce goes on rice no matter what!) and enjoy to your hearts content!

The best Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER!

2011-03-23T15:00:00.000-07:00

This recipe, I have to say... Is one of the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've had. Not only does it have chocolate chips (of course) in it, but also peanut butter and oatmeal. What could be better?!
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. rolled oats
1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips

1: Preheat oven to 350
2: In a medium bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and egg until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into batter just until moistened. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoons onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
3: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges start to brown. Cool on wire racks for 5 minutes, then enjoy!

Caramel Frapps

2011-03-04T11:14:00.001-08:00

For the sake of those who like coffee, especially Starbucks coffee, here's a pretty darn close version of my absolute favorite:Caramel Frapp's.1/2 cup of extremely strong coffee. I'm sure that it would be 100% better if you had a expresso maker, but if you don't, make your own version of strong coffee.1/2 cup of milk or half&half. The half&half makes it a little bit creamier.1- 11/4 cup of crushed iceCaramel ice-cream toppingAdd everything in a blender, but the caramel sauce. Blend for a minute or two, you may have to add more coffee to make it go smoother, if you know what I mean. Then add caramel sauce a tablespoon at a time, blending, then taste until it's sweet enough for you. I have a serious sweet tooth, so I add 3-4 tablespoons. This recipe usually makes two tall glasses.Enjoy!

I thought that we'd always be together,
Never be apart.
You said that our love was made in heaven,
And you'd never break my heart.
But it got hard a long the way,
And our love began to stray.
Now I'm standing here alone,
With nothing left to say!
But where, where does our love go,
From here?
Which road do we follow
To find our way clear?
Where, where does our love go,
I need to know.
When will we finally find our way home..
And where does our love go?

Days gone by can't ever be recovered
Now they're all just yesterdays.
But the love we share, can be rediscovered,
Like a treasure cast away.
But the things we take for granted,
Some times disappear!
And the moment that they're gone,
You start wishing they were here!

So where, where does our love go,
From here.
Which road do we follow to find our way clear?
Where, where does our love go,
I need to know!
When will we finally, find our way clear,
And where does our love go,
From here.

Longing for heaven....

A weary pilgrim now at rest
Hugs in delight his silent nest,
His wasted limbed now lye full soft
That myrie steps have trodden oft,
Blesses himself to think apon
His dangers past and travailers done;
The burning sun no more shall heat;
Nor stormy winds on him shall beat;
The bryars and thornes no more shall scratch,
Nor hungry wolves at him shall catch;
He erring pathes no more shall tread,
Nor wild fruits eate in stead of bread;
For waters cold he doth not long,
For thirst no more shall parch his toungue;
No rugged stones his feet shall gaule,
Nor stumps nor rocks cause him to fall;
All cares and fears he bids farewell,
And means in safety now to dwell:
A pilgrim was I on earth perplext,
With sins, with cares and sorrows vest,
By age and pains brought to decay,
And my clay house mouldring away,
Oh how I long to be at rest
And soar on high among the blest!
This my body in silence sleep,
Mine eyes no more shall ever weep,
No fainting fits shall me assaile,
Nor grinding pains my body frail,
With cares and fears ne'r cumbred be,
Nor losses know nor sorrow see.
What tho my flesh shall there consume?
It is the bed of Christ did perfume;
And when a few years shall be gone,
This mortal shall be cloth'd upon:
A corrupt carcass downe it lyes,
A glorious body it shall rise;
In weakness and dishonour sowne,
In power 't is rais'd by Christ alone.
Then soul and body shall unite,
And of their maker have the sight.
Such lasting joys shall there behold
As eare ne'r heard nor toungue e're told.
Lord, make me ready for that day:
Then come, dear bridegroom, come away!

He who began, this great work in you
Will nurture and lead, as he said he would do!
You have humbled yourself,
To his word you've been true
You've been willing to change, now what will you do?

Press toward the mark,
Strain toward the goal.
Press onward and forward both body and soul!
For the heavenly prize,
And for the look in his eyes,
And for the crown that will not fade away.
Forget things behind,
Reach farther ahead,
Oh, follow the Saviors example instead!
Count all gain as but loss,
And all loss as but gain
To know him all glory art all!

VBS!!!! WHOOO!

2010-07-13T13:51:00.000-07:00

Ah, VBS (aka, Vacation Bible School)! I love kids, I love the songs, I love the skits, games, and best of all, the plan of salvation! This year, I am a "Flight assistant" for the Apollos (5-k) Sigma (blue) team! Lol, I'm wearing blue shirts, blue hair bows, and even blue sparkly nail polish! (and maybe a few other blue things lol)... This year's theme is "outerspace", if you haven't guessed. Two years ago it was an Olympian theme, and they had a torch that they made me "blow out" on my b-day. This year, they probably WILL find SOMETHING for me to blow out this friday.... Anyway, dear followers, I have to go, my VBS kiddos are a'waiting!

Where is God?

2010-07-05T21:12:00.000-07:00

As our president is wasting money on useless things, as the oil spill keeps spilling, as the war in Iraq and Afghanistan gets worse, we start thinking politically and thinking of ways to fix this mess. First we start writing letters, sending emails, spending precious hours/minutes on the phone just so we can get few seconds talking to Rush.... Then we start having tea parties and groups, just so we can make our voices heard... Then we go to court, trying to defend our rights. Did you notice that something is missing? God. Jeremy told us the other day that churches were getting together to pray about the economy, but not once was the gospel mentioned. The other day I heard that people were in court trying to decide whether we should pray and say the pledge before every court meeting. The reason why we are here is because we wanted to be FREE to worship God, our savior and creator, redeemer and friend. If only we would put God first, praying before everything, but most of all, that people would see his light through us. We haven't appreciated God in a long time, our country isn't about Him anymore.Our pledge says "under God", but that doesnt mean anything anymore. We're lucky God doesn't send fire down and turn this land to ashes, like Sodom and Gomorrah. Instead of wondering what dumb thing Obama is going to do next, pray for him, that God will use someone to show His light to him. I believe God needs to be back in our lives, back in, our country,

To be faithful, not be faithful?

2010-05-18T08:16:00.000-07:00

As we decide what on earth we should do with the rest of our lives.... It seems simple enough to choose a job that we will LOVE for ever and ever and ever and EVER! But, sometimes, us teens may loose our focus, the real, true reason why we are here, in this beautiful world. Is it just to improve the earth? Is it just to make a difference? Is it just to provide music that will soon end and will be forgotten? Why is it that we so easily leave God out of our lives? Most of us have loved our Lord Jesus Christ since we were 7 or 8. But when we have to decide, what will we choose? Will we choose something that will provide us for a while, then slowly fade away as years go by? Or will we be a faithful servant who will give up our dreams and lives for someone we love? Like we would like Him to, will our Lord say, "well done, you trained those darn horses to do what right! Good job em!" or, will He say what He said he would say? "Well done, ye FAITHFUL servant." If we truly love him, why don't we open up out palms and give Him the thing we hold onto, our lives. Give him the last key to your heart. Instead of just saying "thanks!" to the lady at Starbucks, give her a tract, show her that you care, that God really does care!

The Hope of a Tree

2010-04-06T11:26:00.000-07:00

Man who is born of women, is of few days and full of trouble.
He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
And do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And bring me to judgement with Yourself?
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
Look away from him that he may rest,
Till like a hired man he finishes his day.

For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
Though its roots may grow old in the earth,
And yet its stump may die in the ground,
yet at the scent of water it will bud,
and bring forth branches like a plant.

But man dies and is laid away;
indeed he breathes his last
and where is he?
As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up
So man lies down and does not rise.
Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake.
Nor be roused from their sleep.

Oh that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past!
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait,
Till my change comes.

Being Selfish

2010-03-31T06:38:00.000-07:00

(Larry) What I've learned...
Is being selfish,
doesnt pay
I tried it,
just the other day
I wanted to be happy!
I thought it was the way,
but it WERNT!
so now I know, just what to do,
before I think about me i'd better think about you
so send the message out
to every boy and girl,
there's no better way to make a really yucky wwwooorrrrllldddd!
Than being selfish,
doent pay
I tried it
just the other day!
I wanted to be happy
I thought it was the way
but it WERN'T!
WERNT WERNT WERNT
WERNT NO IT WERNT!
WERNT WERNT WERNT
slowly music fades out..

Always Will

2010-03-28T12:57:00.000-07:00

I am going to post something about the different religions in this world... Here we go!
Christianity .VS. Buddhism.
Christ~ 100% God, 100% Man.
Buddha~ 100% man, and nothing else.
Christ~ preformed miracles.
Buddha~ Did not.
Christ~ Talked about heaven and the glory of God.
Buddha~ Talked about suffering and being enlightened.
Christ~ Taught us that even your thoughts can be sin, not just actions.
Buddha~ As long as you dont kill, steal, or be selfish, you are considered a "good" person.
Christ~ Died for us, so we wont have to.
Buddha~ Spent so much time being "enlightened", that he didn't have time to realize that he was wrong the whole time.. and will have to pay for it.

CHRIST .V.S. HINDUISM
Christ~ Is 100% God and 100% man, He is a part of the Trinity.
Krishna~ legends of his life are lies which Satan created to discredit Christianity in advance of Jesus's birth.

I will do more later

Pet sitting!

2010-03-25T09:57:00.000-07:00

Just pray i dont wake up one morning to see every chair leg look like theres been a beaver party in the house... I'm sure Cricket will be thrilled with a yapping puppy in my room lol..

Just thought I'd put a pic up.. this one on the top is Lady 2 years ago on easter, (my friend Nikkis doing) lol..

The huge Cucumber....

2010-02-23T17:13:00.000-08:00

Ok, after Holly asked if I was going to plant any cucumbers this year, I had to laugh... Heres the story...
In spring of '09, mom and I started a garden on the side of our yard. We got a large tarp and a bunch of different soil stuff, and mixed it all up on the tarp, and stuffed all of the soil into the garden. We planted herbs, veggis, and flowers. Soon every thing was growing beautifully....untill mom decided to pressure wash the house. The chemical the guys used soaked into the soil and KILLED ALL MY PLANTS!( Except one tiny cucumber plant..) So we say, "well, we can always plant more!" So we do. but because the chemical was in the soil, NOTHING GREW BACK! Grr... anyway, long story short, the one cucumber plant had a small cucumber on it, and thru out the summer that little cucumber grew. But mind you, not long, very short, about 6 inches long, but about two inches in diameter, or taller than my middle finger! This thing was HUGE when I picked it! I was so proud of it, I didnt want to cut it... but i did. I took a slice and...BLAH! EWW! GROSS! it was really bitter! *Sigh... Anyway.. Moral: Presure wash your house, before you start mixing and planting a garden!

Garden Ideas!

2010-02-19T10:57:00.000-08:00

I need a lot of veggis and herbs... on flowers I need like 3-4 vine ish ones, my want-a-be theme is purple and yellow, maybe some pink or orange... but any flower is great! Thanks!

American Idol

2010-02-03T19:06:00.000-08:00

Have you ever seen that show? I think the only funny part of that whole show is the auditions, the really BAD ones! Lol, you know, the people that are so bad, that they are soo funny? The people who are so bad that they think they're good? lol, anyway... why do people idol other people? All of us are unworthy sinners! we cant idol someone because they can sing, dance, or do some funky thing.. We need to make Jesus the one who we want to be like, since he's the perfect one. We need to want to be perfect!Live to be perfect! I sure cant wait until I'm perfect, and in heaven, when people see me as being me! I will KNOW when Im in heaven!

Diaring~Journaling.

2010-01-09T17:18:00.000-08:00

In my small group in TX, we are talking about journaling, and surprisingly it is very interesting! If you journal, you can look back in life when you're older, and see what God has done for you. How He got you through this and that, and even though all seemed in vain, hopeless, or dreadfully wrong, in all those times, you can see that God was there, and he was taking care of you. And if you're older and have kids, and you start journaling, its not to late to start! Start journaling so that when you are gone, your children will read how God took care of everything in your life! I encourage you guys to start a journal-diary. I have, and I can allready see what God is doing for me!

~Taking Heart~
When I have lots of questions about what to do in life later on, I tend to take a walk. Yes, a walk. When I take a walk, I tend to talk to God. (so if you drive by and see me walking, I'm most likely just talkin', hence the title of this blog.) Out loud and from my heart and head, so i have to focus on what I am saying, so my mind doesnt wander off. (haha, yes...my mind tends to do that, a lot, to often, maybe to much, oh dear, why am I putting this info on my blog?! haha... dont take notes... please... lol) ignore that people, literally..haha.. anywho, what ever works for you with talking to God, please do it! God does want to know his children people! Tell him whats on your mind and heart! Please!

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

2009-09-14T13:52:00.000-07:00

Day one: getting started! love
love is the first fruit of the spirit, and to learn about love, we must go to the love chapter!

1 Corinthians 13!
⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. ¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. ¹²Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

soooooo, if you look at the first few words " love is patient" so tomorrow, I will try to be loving, by being PATIENT! please do this challenge with me, it may be a blessing! Have fun!

K-bear and my bithdays, and memories.

2009-07-13T18:43:00.000-07:00

Well, my birthday is coming up soon....July 16th, and Karli's birthday is the 15th. I remember when Mom told us about Karli, it was on Christmas of '06 I think.... She had put a verse about God making a baby in the mothers womb, and put it in a small stocking, and hung it up with the others. My grandpa and grandma where there, so mom told grandpa to read the verse. After he read it out loud, he said "Your pregenat?!" lol.....and sadly, I started crying. ( the tears where because I was selfish, and didn't want to share my room with 3 other little girls.) On my 11th birthday, mom had Karli the day before, and she was still in the hospital. So I HAD to MAKE my very favorite pie,(Gone to heaven chocolate pie) and light my own candles. ( that birthday is now known as the saddest birthday of my life, cause mom wasn't there, not because I had a new sister.) But, I can't believe how much karli has grown, and I love her very much, (so don't get the idea that I hate my sisters! cause I don't!) Well, got to go, sorry I haven't been posting, been busy. (someone seems to come to look at the house every week, thankfully!) Bye!

vacation

2009-06-08T12:20:00.000-07:00

Vacations are wonderful things aren't they? We're in Florida right next to the beach! The sand is so white, water is so clear and warm, and the sky is blue, just beautiful! Can you believe that the sand is little tiny pieces of shells? The sand dollars here are as big as a dinner plate! There are huge conk shells although I haven't seen any yet, you have to go in the early morning to find them though. I got to go, I'll post later! Love,
The Super Baking Girl

PRAYER

2009-05-19T08:33:00.000-07:00

Here's a little poem about prayer, by: Super baking girl.

~Enjoy!~

Pray where ever you go
pray without ceasing
pray in times of peace or woe,
pray when your spirits are high or low

Pray for those you see
pray with out ceasing
pray, for you and me
pray for those without glee

Pray for those you hear
pray without ceasing
pray for those without a tear
pray for those without ones, so dear

So, would you pray?
pray without ceasing?
will you pray, whatever men may say?
Just remember,think of God, instead of what man may say.

HAPPY EASTER!

2009-04-12T16:45:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter everyone!
~He has risen! He has risen indeed!~
Our church had a sunrise service, at 7:00, and we were crazy enough to go, and yes, with the girls. So...we get up at 5:30, and thankfully, I had time for coffee. (yes, I drink coffee, I have ever since I was 3, mom needed a coffee mate to go to Starbucks later on when I was older) And sadly, I did not get ready and off the couch until 6:30. I want everyone to know that my family are night owls, and not morning people! ( I like my bed and my sleep!)

Marching Band

2009-03-24T08:22:00.000-07:00

Left....left.....left right left.......Left....left......left right left....Left.....left....left......left right left....Band.....halt! Band....parade rest! Band.....ten hut (Hit!!) band....horns up! ( a small flute foot goes flying through the air,flutist can not pick it up).....mark time mark! Left.....left....left right left.

Those are the commands of marching band...oh.. and by the way.. the small flute foot flying through the air was mine. The foot is the end of the flute, and mine doesn't want to stay. So it stays on the ground until the march is done. While we are in attention, you CAN NOT SMILE! ( which makes it hard not too.)I don't think I have the coordination to do marching while playing! Maybe Marching Band camp will help some.....

This summer is going to be VERY busy! There are 2 marching band camps....each 1 week, one in May, and one in July. We also have our first parade which is 2 1/2 miles long in July.Then mom wants Jeremy to go to a christian camp, then we want to go to the Wilds again....because that was so much FUN! (while doing school through the whole thing) And in the fall, we (the marching band) have to play in parades, and football games. And Dad comes in October.

Thing that just make you smile #II

2009-02-28T08:48:00.000-08:00

Well, the other night I didn't get much sleep, because my cat...(gerrrr) kept biting my toe, licking my face, and redoing my hair, at 2,3, 5,6, and 7:32. (and a couple in between). Then Zoey, was looking at one of her longer bangs that was hanging straight down on her nose, so she was cross eyed. Oh! And last week, we went to Sweet Water Park, and took a 5 mile walk with Brooke, Holly, and Amber. During the end, Amber was skiping BACKWARDS, singing, "We're off to see the wizzard, the wonderful wizzard of Oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (she's a goofball) If we sucked out all her energey, and gave it to the whole world, the world will be bouncing of the walls of heaven! lol.

2009-01-24T09:08:00.000-08:00

The night my dad leaves, he goes into the girls room to say good bye to them and to explain everything, and Abby was exited to get a "flat daddy" ( which is a picture of the dad on a big piece of cardboard) and Zoey was all sad that daddy was leaving, it just hit her after a month and a half of us telling her, and Karli had not a clue what was going on. Then I, Jeremy, mom,and dad stayed up till about 2 am having a family time, just talking. Then an the way to GA, we stayed at a hotel, we were trying to sneak the bird in..... but the desk guy caught us and my mom would have to pay 25 Dollars for Blizzard to stay inside, but my mom talked the guy into 15 dollars. ( Lady and Cricket stayed in the van). And at dinner that night my mom started crying, I started crying, we all were a mess! But any way, just pray really hard for us, will ya? What has happend this month that "just make you SMILE???

SAD DAY

2009-01-03T11:37:00.000-08:00

My father is going to Iraq for a year for the first time. We are all lucky that he has not gone 3 or 4 times, instead we move. My dad will be leaving some time between the 14-19. We will all be very sad to see him go, just watching him pack his army stuff made me cry! 2010 will be a joyous year for every one! This year will be kinda weird, because dad is leaving, we are moving to GA, then moving back to TX unless dad gets transferred to VA then we would just move from GA to VA. So, yah, my life is kinda CRAZY!!!!!

A NEW YEAR, 2009

2009-01-01T11:27:00.000-08:00

1/1/09. This new year has finaly come. Here's what I am going to change in my life this year:
1; Read my bible every day.
2; Help my mother as much as I can.
3;I will do dinner every other week.
4; Try to have every characteristic a Christian should have.

A CHALLENGE FOR EVERY ONE.
When you read your Bible every day, find characteristics that God wants you to have, like Mercy, kindness, love, truth, ect, write them down on index cards, and keep one in your pocket for one day and show every one the character by doing it. Change cards every two days,
Example, show love for two days, then show mercy for two days, so on and so forth. try this for a year, who knows, it might change your life!

Having fun with God.

2008-12-13T10:15:00.000-08:00

Some times I like to go out and think about God, like how little I know Him, how He can possibly forgive millions in one day, (including me) how He made every color, cloud, rock, river, animals and human-beings. How He made the wind to blow seeds to new lands, to blow old leaves to make room for new leaves. How He made rain to water seeds, grass, and trees. How He made rocks to set up a firm foundation, to keep the sea from crashing down upon us, mountains to keep us from knowing what's true and false about Noah's ark, so we have to decide ourselves. Every small detail is so important that we will die without all details. How long will we brush it by, thinking that we are so smart? We are so behind our heavenly Father so we will never catch up. Not even Solomon take on God in a "Wise contest". Will we ever learn?!

GRANDMA NAN'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH-FUDGE.

2008-12-03T10:17:00.000-08:00

2 squares of semi-sweet chocolate,
1/2 c milk,
2 c sugar,

In Loving Memory of June.

2008-12-01T11:05:00.000-08:00

Our June died last night. For those who don't know June, she was Jeremy's SO CUTE rat. What a way to start the holidays! ( I was sadder than Jeremy,I think.) Why can't Lady die?!

I Got Tagged

2008-11-08T10:29:00.000-08:00

Here's my few facts about myself before we get to the ?'s.
1) I love to experiment with food, my dad does the same thing,, it never tastes the same! One time he tried to make some thing like Mexican rice, he made rice, and then added tomato sauce and paprika and some other things too. That was not his best mix.

2) Unlike Jeremy, I love parakeets! ( meaning Blizzard) And Blizzard says "Hi" to every one!

3) Also unlike Jeremy, I am not good at salt maps, sad to say. We had to make a salt map of Europe, and after a while Jeremy had to mark where I should mold the salt dough! Poor Jeremy.

4) Cris Rice is my ultimate favorite singer. My MP3 player has only two songs that are not from his album. so you can see I like his songs.

5) This is dumb.

6)Texas Tech is mean.

I am going to ignore that Jeremy.

Ok these ?'s are from Jordan.

Poll

2008-10-28T17:10:00.000-07:00

The reason to the poll is;
I say no, there can't be a time machine because you can't contain God, and making a time machine, you go back in time, ( or forward) you'd have to make God go back too. So give up your theory, that you can change the past,, its not going to happen!

Texas

2008-10-06T19:34:00.000-07:00

As most of you know, I live in Texas now. I like it a lot, because it has a lot of big space, it has the most wonderful animals in the world, horses (of course!) And I have my own room and bath-room, our neighbors really like to decorate for Halloween and Christmas, ( I know about the Halloween part,because they've all ready started, but they've told me about Christmas), cows are every-where, and it is a new place.
