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!

WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

It is hard to put into words what it is like to have a mental breakdown. Not only is it hard to try and describe what it is like, but it is hard to talk about because you fear how people are going to react to you. So many mentally ill people have to deal with the stigma attached to the words mental illness, and end up being treated like they have leprosy. While it isn’t easy to tell my story, I feel compelled to do so.  First of all, writing is therapy for me, but I also feel like it will let others like me know that they are not alone. Perhaps, it may even help family and friends understand what it is like to live inside the mind of someone who is mentally ill, and what it is like to have a breakdown. I have been hospitalized a total of three times due to mental breakdowns.  When I was much younger, they were called nervous breakdowns, I prefer the newer term. As for what it is like, I will do my best to try and explain. Believe me, if you have never suffered from one, you...

CHRISTmas Miracles Do Happen!~

Our family, tonight, was the recipient of a CHRISTmas Miracle. We were watching TV, the story of Mark David Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon, when we received a knock on our door. It was two of my nephews and a great nephew with two HUGE boxes. I asked them what they were doing, they said, "Delivering your CHRISTmas." It was so unexpected, I didn't know what to say. Nobody really knows the extent of how bad things have been for us lately. We have lived off of boxed mac and cheese mixed with tuna or Rice-A-Roni mixed with a small can of chicken. Some nights, we might have pasta, but without the meat. We have had egg sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. I have actually lost about 8 pounds, which I needed to lose, but I do not recommend doing it this way. I hugged my nephews and told them thank you. They told us Merry CHRISTmas and left. It was just that quick. When I opened the boxes, there were wrapped gifts. I did not have one gift under our tree for either of ...
