"More mud than blood here..
Coach Sean..
I see some much truth about life in this statement not just for a scrap upon the a knee during a soccer game. There are many times in life that its that it is just more mud than blood in a situation. Easily washed with soap and water if we choose to do so if a mental sorta a way.

Cofee-mate seasonal creamers...
I got mine at my local wal-mart this past weekend. It was a $1.50 for a 16.0z. I have to say, it was wonderful to have a cup of coffee that didn't cost me all my limbs.
Its not as strong as the starbucks but it does hit the spot for me.

Vinegar is my new best friend in cleaning just about anything. Seriously, ladies you don't need much of it to clean dishes by hand, use as jet dry in the dish washer, clean counters, and do windows. They never have looked so clean. i will post a recipe tomorrow for food and using vinegar. Plus, did you know that vinegar is known as a natural disinfectant. Unlike bleach base cleaners that germs get resistent too. The vinegar the germs aren't germ resistant because most people don't clean with it.
Try it...wash your dishes by hand, then fill the other sink with water and tablespoon of vinegar. When the dishes dry by air they will be streak free and sparkle.

Sunday Quotes..
is from me this week.
Jealously is just not an emotion that presents itself like an unwanted facial pimple in your thirties. It is a way we treat others in our lives. I have learned a lot about this word, this emotion, and the way it makes us look in the eyes of those around us.
It makes us look ugly, fat, unwanted, unloved, unkind, uncaring, without intrigity, and most of all inability to face ourselves in the mirror. Everything we strive not to be.
The last few days have been hell on me with aspects of family relationships. I have turned to the book "think like a lady but act like a man" by steve harvey, the house of night series by p c cast and daughter, and Kerrelyn Sparks books. Instead of allowing myself to get sucked into the vortex of the other person's jealous outrage or yelling spree. I have walked away. I have waited for them to be in a better frame of mind, and of course Karma. Its a .....I'll let you fill in the blanks at this point.
Even when confronted in a better mood this person in my life is in denial like the river the nile. I have determined that life will remain unpleasant until the life lesson this person is suppose to learn is learned.
I have learned to speak up with I feel this way about anything. Not just my displeasure in the situation but the feelings I feel and way. It has helped reduce the fire that is being kindled on the other side.
thanks you gals and guys!

In question...ducan hines new 100% whole grain muffin mixes that are out on the market.
Have you tried them? Did you know that they were out? Did they taste good? Where they easy to follow as in directions?
Talk to us about. I just found out they were out in a magazine called southern comfort or something like that..
What is it about my family that they have to infuse the southwestern area with southernbell oddities? It is not the 1800's any more. Its a new century and new way of thinking..keeping it real not hidden by a false facade.

Sunday Quotes..
It comes from the second book in the House of Night Series called Betrayed. From Page 33. I know this is a fictional book series but the authors have done such a good job at putting things in to words that I know that we all feel at sometime in our lives.
"Be authentic for air, faithful for fire, be wise for water, empathic for earth, and sincere for spirit"
I never thought that our actions could be associated to things around us. Its a refreshing prespective.
