Well, let’s see…. To answer your questions Debs - I took the Lion post down because no one posted recipes — so the Lion was sad and still hungry. But I didn’t post recipes either, so shame on me!
If you want a whole host of smilies, including the laughing smiley, go here.
So how’s everyone doing this weekend? I think I’m finally getting the cold that I’ve been trying to get for a month now - or maybe that means it’s finally gotten me. 
I spent the whole afternoon traipsing round the mall trying on Ball Gowns. I thought I had my dress, but reconsidered. Way too much cleavage for a Southern Baptist. 
I bought another dress today, and I LOVE it. Don’t worry, you’ll see it when the time comes. Oh, and I had the thrill of trying on AND zipping up several 14s today. They weren’t quite ready for the public eye- but at least I didn’t look like a stuffed sausage!!
Let’s see… after the gown hunt ended, I went to the Clark’s store and got some shoes. Even my feet were fat before - I couldn’t fit into many of the cute styles. Now I can try on everything! I got a really jazzy pair of black ankle boots and a pair of brown clogs. Both of them have, like, two inch wedge heels - so I get to find out what it’s like to be average height…almost.
Now I’m absolutely exhausted and I really feel like I’m getting sick. The kids are off to bed any minute now and the hubby and I will watch more of our current addiction…Combat! It’s a great WWII show from the early 60s. I almost love it more than my husband does! Netflix has it if anyone wants to check it out.
So what have you been doing?
Can’t wait to see the ball gown!!
We had an exciting weekend of sorting through the girls winter clothes and lots and lots of laundry!!

Watch out for the “krauts”. We watched that all the time when we were growing up. Little did I know that I would end up marrying a full-blooded German. Just one of life’s little twists.

Yeah I’m a solid 50% German myself. But the other half is British, Irish and Cherokee…so I’m your typical American mutt.

*ahem - clearing throat* Somebody has traded shopping for food… just sayin’
My shoulder feels better, btw… I can move my arm again. Got a cortisone shot in the shoulder and a horrid anti-inflammatory that made me feel really weird so I have NOT taken it today and have felt pretty good. I think I will just take ibuprofen since the swelling has gone way down. It is tendonitus (msp???) btw…
Thanks for prayers and talk to you later.

I can quit anytime I want!!!!
I’m not denying anything. But in my defense, I will say that…um…well…I can’t say that I NEEDed the shoes, but it has been a few years since I got my trusty Land’s End mocs -and my tastes have changed. I just want to be hip and cool and look good - is that so wrong?

Speaking of hip and cool… We got to church today and the couple that had given us tickets to the concert got to spend a bit of time with Mercy Me after the concert and brought JoNathan a little “momento” from the concert. You know the list of songs they post on the stage for the sets they do? Well, JoNathan now OWNS that!!!!! Yes, he got the one and only set sheet from Mercy Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
