Gab and Blab

Move over Willy..

I recently ran across this video and found myself having enormous cravings for chocolate - gee I wonder why! But there was more to it. The way the video is edited makes the viewer feel as though they are there, experiencing the chocolate sensations.

Here’s to many chocolate bars!

Please leave a comment if you can relate..

Many thanks,

We have a running race in the family to see who can be the oldest and still get carded by the grocery clerk. I think one of my aunt’s rung in at around 36 (before-botox). So last weekend I was at the 7-11 and the guy rang up a six pack of beer, eyeing me carefully. I was busy fidgeting with the ATM card, too busy to notice. He awkwardly asked me if he needed to card me. Needless to say this made me instantly happy and I said coyly if you think you need to. I’m sure in his mind he was wondering what the heck is up with her, but being 40 the idea of being carded sounded like a good idea to me! He finally ended up asking me how old I was, stating that I didn’t look a day over 35. HA. I’m not so sure that was a compliment to go from do I need to card you to not a day over 35. I told him that had he carded me, it would have made for a fabulous story to be sure and tell everyone - including my mom!

I have always loved just about all things symbolizing life on the ranch; cowboys, cowgirls, boots, hats, riding, horses, cattle and the music! Mix it up with another favorite sport - ice skating and I just about fainted.

Now I just want to know if this thing is for real and if so, where?! I love it and think you will too. Let me know what you think!

I would call myself an enthusiastic cook when it comes to working in the kitchen. It is not something I do everyday but when I do, I like to really go to town! We had a house full of kids this Summer and when it came to cooking, we had to think what are the kids going to like. Who doesn’t love pizza? I surprised myself, as well as everyone in the house with just how easy making pizza from scratch could be.

The first step was finding the right recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 (.25 oz) package active dry yeast

It is evening and you have a fabulous dinner on the table that carefully balances every corner of the food pyramid. What would go more perfect than a nice glass of wine. Sound nice?

Opening bottles of wine in our house has turned into some sort of adventure, ranging from the ever so satisfying pop of the cork to running like a madman to the bathroom for a large towel.

The reason? The wine opener of choice.

Success

I came across this test and found it really effective. It almost reminds me of when I was a child as well as when the hearing bus pulled up at school.

Please note: forwarding to friends at the end will forward in Norwegian.

I searched high and low to find the lyrics to this song. This is a piggyback song based on the tune of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I remember my mom singing this to us when we were little and I would beam in delight, just wondering where this mysterious hero of a guy was.

Randolph the handsome cowboy
…had two very shiny guns
And if you ever saw them
…you would turn around and run
All of the other cowboys
… used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Randolph
… join in any Cowboy games

This video of Audrey Landers singing Yellow Rose of Texas brought back bitter sweet memories. Great memories of when I saw my sister as a little girl up on stage, singing with her friends at the local church. Not so great memories when I realized I had the hairstyle.
