NEW BLOG OPENS TOMORROW!!!
I am working on my last page right now and I think it's safe to say my new blog/website/whatever will be open to
My new home is called Pot Holders and Pantyhose. Once it goes live, this website will be directed to the new one, but in case you have it bookmarked, the new website is simply www.potholdersandpantyhose.com.
Most of the ramblings I have subjected you to on this blog have already been transferred over to the new one because I would hate for you to miss out on the wisdom I have imparted (ie Booger Etiquette).
See ya tomorrow!

My Life on October 20, 2010
The rest of the week... Heading to SLC this morning for several days. I'm glad I have a good hotel there and that it's so beautiful because I've been spending alot of time there lately.
I am wearing... a bathrobe. I really gotta go get ready!

Another Ornament Video
Remember when I posted how to make Quilted Christmas Ornaments last year? The weirdest thing has happened... people I don't know watch it. I suppose I knew by posting it on YouTube that it was a possibility, but I didn't really expect it to receive any attention. As of today it has been watched more than 7700 times and I get emails from all kinds of people because of it. Weird. One girl even tracked me down on Facebook to friend me! I made a second video this morning to answer some of the questions that people have asked. Here it is in case you were wondering, too.
By the way, watching and listening to yourself on video is seriously the worst thing ever.

Most Embarrassing iPod Songs
One of my quirky Angie things is that I am constantly writing myself
notes and making lists of silly things. I've done this for years and
years. Here's one I came across while I was desperately trying to find
something to entertain myself with after 2 hours on this airplane.
In no particular order...
1. Baby Got Back - Sir Mix A Lot
2. Islands in the Stream - Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
3. ABC - The Jackson 5
4. Dumas Walker - Kentucky Headhunters
5. Girlfriend - Avril Lavigne
6. Fly With Me - Jonas Brothers
7. Sexyback - Justin Timberlake
8. Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus
9. Spice Up Your Life - Spice Girls
If I was riding in a car with people I'm not completely open with (ie
work people) I would frantically forward past all these songs, or if
one of these songs comes up on my iPod while I'm sitting next to a
stranger on a plane, I black the screen out. But secretly, I love
these songs and I am totally rocking out to them on the inside.
Don't even pretend like you don't like them, too.
XOXO!

Another Crash
Someone just cut off my right arm. Again. I went through this once before, but it happened right as I was going on vacation. This time I have work to do and stores to visit. I overnighted my precious laptop to some brainy people who promised to fix her for me, but I don't know when she'll return. I'm just walking in circles, not sure what to do with myself. My fingers hate being idle. Maybe I'll take up knitting again? Or sculpting. Or taxidermy.

I Fought The Meatloaf And The Meatloaf Won
I really thought if I made it myself I could overcome my ridiculous mental aversion to it. And it started out just fine. First off, I cooked the onions with all the spices. I think the smell of onions cooking is scrumptious!
And then the ground hamburger. I used to eat it raw as a child. Sorry if that sounds gross, but it's something my Dad did and it really is delicious. Back then we knew exactly where our beef was coming from so it wasn't really that dangerous, now I wouldn't dare, even though I was tempted. Not to mention Jim would literally go into some sort of Howard Hughes breakdown if I did.
Here's where things started getting a little sketchy. I was okay with the different components, but once I put it all together, I wasn't feeling so positive anymore.
At this point I kind of went crazy and started laughing. As I was forming the loaf shape of my nemesis, I was grossed out and nervous and maybe on the verge of gagging so I started laughing instead.
But I cooked it and tried it. I ate a bite and hated it, then Jim made me take one more bite.
Then I threw it away and ate an entire plate of mashed potatoes and gravy and vowed to never, ever try meatloaf again as long as I live.
Number 7 - done.

♪♫ Happy Birthday To Me ♪♫
Today marks the 33rd year of my existance. I am still able to say I'm in my early-thirties, but I am fast approaching those mid-thirties.
And since everyone knows your birthday comes with a free pass to do all those little things you wouldn't normally allow yourself to do, I just ate five pieces of pizza and three chocolate cupcakes. Really.
So, this is what I imagine I will look like at 33 1/2.

Vacation - Seattle (The Space Needle)
I had only been inside it one other time 14 years ago. Seattle is overcast or rainy 90% of the time, so we could not have been there at a more perfect time. We had a clear view of Mt Rainier.
Check out these two.

Vacation Details - Day 2 and 3
Port Angeles is where Jimbo lived prior to moving to Missouri and meeting Moi. Because of that, he was like a built in guidebook and knew the best place to eat. When you are on the coast you pretty much have to eat seafood. It's like a rule so we ate a lot of it.
The next morning we boarded the ferry to cross the Straight of Juan De Fuca to get to Canada. It was very, very windy and chilly.

Lemon Pound Cake
Ingredients for cake:
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup vanilla yogurt
3 extra large eggs (room temp)
1 cup sugar
zest of 2 lemons
1/2 cup canola oil
Ingredients for glaze:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
In another bowl mix eggs, sugar, yogurt and lemon zest. I used low fat yogurt to try to save a few calories.
In a saucepan, bring the sugar and lemon juice to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is disolved. pour over the cake. I strongly suggest you do this over the sink or you will have a sticky mess.
