What Did CJ Do On New Years Eve You Ask?




Why silly, she made fondant and baked a cake! It took 7 hours, yes, you are reading right, 7 hours to bake this cake. Well actually, making the fondant is what took so long. It is made from marshmellows and powdered sugar from what I understand. I was thinking, "Hope she cleans up her mess." She was so sore she could hardly move. Especially her wrists from mixing up that fondant, but her legs and feet too from standing so long.


You see what I have to put up with! She actually threatened me with fondant and I am totally innocent. I did nothing to deserve it. Really, I did not....no... really. Would I lie? ::susan grins evilly:: If she ever decides to make this again, I am going to be sure I am on vacation or something and you can come over and help her. She's actually considering culinary school. She loves that show, The Ace of Cakes, with Chef Duff.

The finished product? It tasted wonderful!~

Brice is finally home safe and sound. Thanks so much for the prayers for him!~

Happy New Year!~

Hi. It's Krissy. Sorry I haven't been by. It's been crazy. John's been sick a lot again. I haven't blogged about it or told Jland much because I didn't want to worry them. I got a remark from someone who said something like, "you all don't know the roller coaster you put us through." I felt so bad, so I decided for awhile I wouldn't mention if he got real sick again, and that I wouldn't mention the ups and downs if it was a roller coaster and he almost dies. I will just tell you all when it is all over, so nobody gets scared. Well here I am, he made it through after a few close calls. And he is doing just fine right now. Let's pray he stays that way. Why am I telling you all this? To say why I haven't had time to be to people's blogs.

Yours looks absolutely beautiful, by the way! And that cake your daughter makes is beautiful! You know, she could sell those and make money! That cake is professional looking -- I have seen them made for weddings like that, and they went for a lot of money!

Okay, gotta run. John and I are celebrating his birthday today, as we were very busy yesterday and didn't get to celebrate much. I am making him baked ziti and some other things. Then we'll have carrot cake and ice cream.

If you feel like coming by my blog tonight I will have a blog post done. I haven't posted in awhile because I have had trouble with Blogger. Looks like you have been doing fine. Your blog is absolutely beautiful. I am leaving you my blog address and the URL to the blog directory I am creating for jlanders in case you haven't already signed it. Please sign up if you haven't. Thanks!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MY LOVE!~

Thirty years ago today, October 7, 1978, I was in a white dress and veil walking down the isle to say I do to the love of my life, Donnie. Just months before, I had broken off an engagement with another guy that I had dated for probably 1.5 years. Donnie had also just been through a prior fairly long relationship where there had been talk of marriage. It is at this time of my reminiscing that I am glad that those prayers I prayed to God to be with the one prior to Donnie went unanswered. Donnie, too, had prayed and prayed about being with his prior girlfriend. They had planned to grow old and gray together and he was quite devastated when she broke things off with him, but you see, God had another plan… It started one night when my sister wanted me to go with her to her boyfriend, Melvin’s church to meet a friend of his. She was telling me how goodlooking she thought this guy was and how she felt we would be perfect for each other. I still wasn’t over my boyfriend, but I went along wit...

Tonight...

I have learned why I have pretty much become a hermit and keep to myself. I obviously don't have sense enough to socialize or be in public. I never seem to say the right things. Is there not anybody out there that understands me and won't judge me? Is there anybody I can talk around without fear of saying the wrong thing and being misunderstood? That knows me well enough to know I do not have a mean bone in my body, and that knows I am a good person, a person worth knowing. I am repeatedly told I get too involved. If I do, it's because I care. Why does that always have to be such a bad thing? We went to Wal-Mart today to pick up a few things. My son and daughter were with me. He kept getting on to me for getting in people's way. I was oblivious. They were getting angry with me. It sux to be sick and not have a brain anymore. I will be driving and have blank-outs. Notice I did not say black out, I said blank-out. Everything I know will just leave me, my mind just goes bl...
