Did you know that you can type in the degree symbol ° by holding down the Alt key and typing 248? Go ahead try it, I'll wait. Cool eh?

Just a note to anyone making my recipes. If you have taken pictures of them, please feel free to post them right away. I love seeing what others come up with and want them all posted.

Also, I am VERY slow to return Zmails. I'm sorry, but that's just how I roll. I will of course answer you if you have questions, but it might take a day.

Thanks!

I am a pierced and tattooed WAHM. I am a Sr. Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay. I LOVE IT! Have you had a free Mary Kay facial?



I am also very glad to say that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I see His blessings in my everyday life. I am married to the love of my life and we've been together about 10 years. I always follow the rule of Faith first, Family second, Career third. Since I've had those priorities in order, everything has fallen right into line.

I have 4 children at home - 12, 10, 8, 6. My oldest son is 12 and has severe autism, and he lives with his father. I also have a baby boy - Furrynando. I think he gets the most attention.





Philippians 4:13
I have fibromyalgia and I also have quite a few back problems. I was supposed to have a spinal fusion surgery Sept 08, but the insurance declined at the last moment. I cannot think of many people out there having elective back surgery, but you never know. I haven't been pain free in over 10 years. But... I do get to park really close to the doors at Walmart
UPDATE:
I had my surgery! Oh thank God I can walk and sit and do so many things again. I finally have life to live!

My star system....
5* = Awesome! Totally rocked our socks!
4* = Very good, but needs 'something'.
3* = We ate it, tried it anyways.
2* = Yuck. We ordered pizza instead.
1* = Terrible food. Terrible instructions. Cat tried to bury it.
I try not give anything below 3 stars. I might just leave a comment instead. If it really aggravated me, then I will definitely leave a lower star rating. I will always explain in my review how it went over.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite restaurant? The one I go to the most would be Julie's Cafe. It's a down-home cafe, no frills, and kids eat free on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I guess they weren't planning on my troop. 6 people - 15 bucks - priceless

I'm one to make a meal out of the appetizers. I love hot stuff and will try almost anything once, maybe twice to make sure. I've been on a mean buffalo wings kick lately. I just keep telling myself that all that capsicum is good for my pain.

My most famous dish is my deviled eggs. The inlaws and outlaws seem to ask for it at every get-together. They also love my pork ribs, sausage egg skillet, fried potatoes, ... come to think of it, they like all my homestyle foods.
