Hubby is taking his CCNA cert today. He is convinced he will not pass. He has studied like crazy, but he's convinced the sheer volume of knowledge needed to pass will be his undoing. I think he'll pass, maybe not with flying colors, but as long as he's one percentage point above the fail line, that's all it takes!!
His boss has talked with him at length, and basically there's no pressure on him, like they won't give up on him if he doesn't pass it on the first try. They just want to see him actively pursuing it. And his boss also told him that the money is just sitting there waiting for him. Now if that's not a motivator, I don't know what is!!
Update on my grandma - she is doing as well as can be expected in such a situation. She wakes up every morning asking where grandpa is, and yesterday was the first morning she did not cry when told he was gone. So I guess that's progress. My aunt is working very hard to be there for her, but also to help her meet other ladies at the place she's at, so she can maybe make friends.
The memorial service is in two weeks. Sounds like the whole family is going to be there, which is nice.
OK, next one on the K-cup train, the box will *finally* get out today. So sorry for the delay!!!
Ema is doing good. She's still waiting to see the endocrinologist and she starts work this week, against my advice (but then she DIDN"T ask for my advice
*snip*

very glad to here about Ema too, praying her appointments go great for her...
We had wanted to stay over night but we are have problems with the renter we sublet the basement apartment to so we will have to evict him in the morning. Talk about people who take advantage!
Microwave is bothering factor for me too, but couldn't control its usuage
Sonic Ice People: I read online that Sonic sells bags of ice for a buck. One place said they were 8#.
People are going aha over the sonic ice, got to google..
kay... on the tenders, i would say a few things:
1. make sure tenders are narrow pieces and on the thinner side. if you have a very chunky pc of chicken, flatten it some before using.
2. i am assuming you are not using frozen chicken, but just chilled chicken from the fridge. if you are using frozen chicken, thaw in fridge, don't microwave cos when you microwave it, it already cooks the outside some and that will make chicken tough.
3. my oven has been running hot, so what i do when cooking things often is i will put pcs in a baking dish, cover the dish with foil and cook at an oven temp 25-50 degrees less than what the recipe says. then once the chicken looks almost done, remove tent, and broil each side for a 1-1.30 min to brown. done.
essentially, what it sound like is that the recipe oven temp is too high, so the outside gets overdone, but doesn't allow for enough time for the inside to heat through and cook through. lower temp, longer time, and some tenting should fix that problem.
OV butter - love, love, love the unsalted butter.
i also tried horizon org unsalted. i find the OV unsalted is great where you want buttery flavor - sauteeing mushrooms for example. The horizon org is more neutral, no strong buttery smell or taste, so it's much nicer for baking as well as for cooking with in recipes that call for butter. i stocked up on horizon when they had a big sale at WF pre tgiving about 2 bucks for a pound it worked out to be. before that i had a bunch of ov unsalted when that was on sale. keeps a while in fridge so that helps.
Been usiing OV butter for some years now, but $4.99/lb and would be able to use $ off coupons ,so basically $4.. have to find good deals on it..
waiting for march month, so OV website resets its coupon page..
looked at the amazon page, looks like they have pretty stainless steel bakeware, never knew about them before untill GT pointed out...
we are having asparagus, bella mushroom, onion w/ beef stir fry for dinner tonite.
asparagus- will be eating more. saw on the dr oz show it's one of the best veggies for you
mushrooms- very good for you
onions- anti-oxidants
beef- b/c we had shrimp yesterday. shrimp, chicken, pork or a combo works fine too.
hmmm, it's flank steak and i could dump some marinade in the bag the reynolds vacuum bag it's defrosting in and then broil it. nah! we eat more veggies if it's in a stir fry for some reason. and one less pan to wash.
Morning. I'm already running behind.
Ank- I will be praying about the baby situation.. I pray she changes her mind and saves that little baby.. I have told DH many times that if I knew a person and they were thinking about abortion, I would offer to adopt the baby. Babies are such a blessing
Gator - the torani doesn't add color or creaminess... just sweet and flavor. You would still need cream, half and half, etc.. I use cream and then add whatever flavor I am feeling like for the moment. I can't do my coffee unless it is very light in color too!

next up: frosting flavored with syrup

Is that a pretty good price or is this something you've ever found at a lower price? SIL goes through it quick, apparently they use it for a lot of stuff like you're describing.
Meesh: I think that TM4D is the person to ask for a fondant recipe.
*snip*
Marshmallow fondant recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mars...etail.as
If adding color to the fondant add it in when you add the water and vanilla....and make it a tad darker than what you want your end color to be since the adding the powdered sugar will whiten it some. Use gel food coloring for the best color....not those little liquid ones. Otherwise I follow those instructions to a tee.

Would the clear vanilla work?

We make it like this a lot:
Blanch the asparagus for 2 min. Remove from pan and sauté minced garlic and butter or margarine, add asparagus and finish with bread crumbs. Sauté for 5 minutes or until al dente.
YES! you can buy Sonic ice from Sonic. It's usually like $1.29 I am not sure how big the bag is but it's pretty good sized. We buy it all the time. It's the only ice I will use...yes that's picky!
Toots- I am soooooo glad you love the consignment pages. I
It's nice to have a steady income coming in but I miss my daughter so much these days. There was a post that said if you don't have to work to keep a roof over your head or food in your families mouth you should stay home with your kids. I totally agree. I wish I could just quit. We don't NEED the money but it's nice to not have to struggle so much. I don't know what to do...

I worked full time when my youngest 2 were little and it was hard but necessary.. Then with the last 2, I have only worked one or two days a week.. But, I am starting to feel like I need to work more because there are so many things we need some extra money for..
Currently, I work one 12 hour shift a week. and DH is home that day so my DD doens't stay in day care or anything, just home with daddy.. I am considering accepting a position which will require an additional 8 hours a week.. I didn't want to take it at first, but I am thinking about doing it now.. The extra money will be helpful because we need another car, and I have one teen in college/driving and will have another next year..
The only down side is that once you get used to the money coming in, it is very hard to go back to not having it in my experience..
but, I do agree.. If you don't really need the money, nothing is better than being home with your babies.. I am so blessed that with my 3 year old I was able to not work at all for 4 months, and then have worked very little since then.. My SIL has my nephew in daycare and he gets sick all the time. I have offered to watch him, but they think we are too far away and want to keep him at the school he goes too.. They will have another baby this summer, and I am sure she isn't making too much after she pays daycare for 2 kids.. I have encouraged her to consider taking some time off just to see if they can make it without her income for awhile.. But, she does love her job and I guess that is okay too.. Every person is different. I have some friends at work who told me they didn't want to be stay home moms.. they like working and being at home with their kids all day would drive them crazy! One lady actually leaves her son at daycare until closing, even though she gets off before that. Said she needs time to run errands, make calls, get on the computer before she gets him.. To each his own I suppose
Anyway, here is the headboard I want to make. I've already got my door picked out, just waiting for someone with a truck to help me get it home. 25.00 for the door and about 20 for some trim and I think it will look nice.

When Mini Thrift was little I worked nights and weekends so I could stay home with her during the day and family would watch her when I was at work. She started daycare at 3 years old as I had to switch to a full time position during the day.
I do miss working and using my brain and the adult interaction. If I went back to work it would be something part time during the evenings/weekend...but that would mean my shopping time would be compromised.

It would be nice if times were different and the economy were different so that parents could afford to stay home but always know this...your little one loves you and the time that you do have with her is the best time for her so don't beat yourself up
