Very Random

No school today! Yippeee! I'm not sure why that makes me so happy today, but I am. And praying for no school tomorrow!

Funny thing about being snowed in ... we knew the snow was coming so we stocked up on groceries (way more than just bread or milk) so we wouldn't have to go out. We realized yesterday afternoon Hershey (the guinea pig) was out of hay. Hershey whines if he doesn't have hay. Mama can't stand to hear Hershey whine. So, we ventured out. I'm glad I did because now I know I can go out today because the main roads are fine. My neighborhood streets are covered, but even those are manageable.

So, I have a few things on my mind ...

1) If you have sent me a comment and/or email lately and are not hearing back from me, it's because I cannot respond to you. Some of you have asked me questions that I really want to respond to but can't. Your profiles will not allow me to. So, if this is you, please leave me your email addresses so I can get an answer back to you.

2) Anonymous commenters. Oh, how I love getting your comments. I sense that most of you are women I go to church with. Why, oh why, won't you tell me who you are?? Just leave your initials at the bottom of the comment or something hinting to who you are.

3) Yes, we made the fruit salsa with cinnamon tortillas last night. Delicious! I know for a fact I will make cinnamon tortillas often to store in a ziploc bag for my pantry. O has deep love for them. We used strawberries, kiwi and apples for our fruit. E doesn't like most fruits, but ate this. I told her afterwards what she was eating. I'm sneaky like that. Maybe I'll post this recipe later.

4) Possibly the most important. I'm looking for a bread machine. Yes, I could make it all from scratch but I am told a bread machine would make my life easier. And fulfilled. I am looking for easy and fulfilled in my life - ha! I'm checking Ebay and Amazon, but need some guidance. Any ideas?

5) O just snuggled up next to me and said the sweetest thing. She said, "I love snuggling with my Mama. She wouldn't snuggle with me all weekend cause she snuggled only with Daddy". For the record this is completely false, but it cracks me up coming from her.

6) Still going through old pictures and found some from vacation last Spring. Makes me want to plan a vacation ....

E is so beautiful. I have no ideas on a bread machine. I am curious, though.

I got a bread machine as a wedding gift 13 1/2 years ago and I have NEVER used it! For the right price it can be yours! LOL

I love fruit salsa...love it!! Funny how kids will eat things when presented in a different way!

Hope you find your bread machine. People who use them say they love them....I cannot allow myself to have one in the house. I am a bread LOVER....it would not be pretty!

I am going to have to have the recipe for fruit salsa and cinnamon tortillas sound to die for. Must have the recipe!

We once had a bread machine, but it was too easy and I was getting fat, so I gave it away!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog Deidre! I lost my link to your site when I had my blog redesigned and now I'm back to cutest blog on the blog. You're not the only one who got lost in translation, I'll get you back up there cause I've missed staying in touch with your blog. I'm with you, I'd love to be planning a vacation, I always get the itch in February:). Blessings sister!

I have lots of memories of very heavy snowfalls when I was growing up, but we were never snowed out or had a snow day from school - oh, you lucky girls!

Anyway, sometimes being anonymous can be to one's advantage....I love the new design of your wonderful blog, and the verse on the banner. I'm not sure how to word this, but I was going crazy trying to find out what translation you were using, and couldn't find the verse anywhere - until I realized it wasn't verses 4 and 5, but verse 45! My apologies for this small criticism of your blog...

And that's why I'd rather be anonymous...am I forgiven?

Have a great day! :)

Hi!

I happened by your site from the LPM blog. :)
I couldn't resist commenting on your bread machine search. I love to make bread and do so a few times a week. I started out with a machine and I think now they are all pretty much the same brand wise.
But what I found is that I really prefer using my mixer, a KitchenAid for making bread. I swear it is just as easy as using a bread machine, but I love the versatility of shaping the bread how I want it.
Either way, homemade bread is delicious!
Enjoy.

Blessings,
Michelle
