I like to bake. I like to cook. Around the holidays, I really like to bake. I make a few different items … peanut butter blossoms, pecan tassies (but with walnuts), butter cookies, peanut brittle (easy microwave recipe). Up until this year, I made peanut butter cups.

I did it. I couldn’t wait any longer. Tonite I bought a laptop. :clap: :dancin: :G-roflol: I have been waiting to be able to do this for over a year. I ordered it from Dell. I configured it online but called to talk to a rep and order via phone. I just wanted to be … Continue Reading

I finally decided to just pick a new eye doctor and make an appointment. I really didn’t like my last one. He just didn’t seem helpful or that he cared. And I could only go on Friday’s, and it would have to be during work time. Not convenient. I decided to go to Sterling Optical … Continue Reading

Something comes along and knocks me back on my ass (good thing it’s padded so I bounce). :loser: I’ve been slowing paying off my credit cards … sending $200 a month to each to bring down the balance. If my calculations are correct, one should be paid off in May if I keep doing that. … Continue Reading

I thought it would just be temporary until they found office space somewhere else. Well … I was … Continue Reading
