OK I am going to try this again 
I had typed everything in and accidentally X'd out I was so pissed at myself that I needed to wait awhile to post again.
ANYWHO WOWSA 
I didn't babysit tonight. I needed the money but after last night I am glad I got a break even if it was last minute My picky eater was being a pain So what I had planned for supper went out the window kind of. DD had mac and cheese. I put BBQ country ribs in crockpot, I made hashbrown casserole, and cheesy greenbeans.
joanmary glad you got to go out for supper 
JUJU glad you are feeling better when I was going to post earlier you post said you weren't feeling to well and I said get some rest. I still think you need it. So get some rest OK
Knox Congrats on the huge cake order 
Good luck I am envious 
in away I want one but would be crapping my pants and hyperventilating (sp) at the same time But seriously We know you can do it so GOOD LUCK and we await future wedding cake updates And WOW I wish I could find a great deal on abed like yours 
I hope you can get it soo soon. And by the way we got a dusting of snow again tonight the offer still stands I will mail you some seriously So I can get it off of my front yard And where are our other friends 
I was wondering as well. Isn't one on a cruise though?? (glories) I hope she is having some fun
mkolmar I am trying to stay inside but it ain't working so good. I got stuff to do I am taking my reflux meds though cause I know I have the problem. And this med will help cure it Even if it isn't the culprit at hand. My chest still hurts and I am going to the doc again to get it checked out. My other DS just informed my she went to the ER on WED. for a tight chest and they did an EKG and it was normal. but when she took the nitro tabs she felt better So she has to go for more tests also. And she told me in no uncertain terms get my A$$ back to the doc. Since we lost my cousin recently. I am not going to take any chances. I hope you force the issue as well.
Just to let y'all know I'm feeling much better today. Still stopped up but not as bad. My head isn't splitting today.
glad your doing better juju!
OK where is dalt, ohara, monica and everyone else that use to visit on here!
Knox-glad you are not sleeping in the bed of the truck anymore Congrats on the huge order! You KNOW you can do this as much as we do...and if you ever forget, your personal CC cheerleading squad is here to cheer you on girl!!!
kay-how's your daughter doing with her pulled teeth?
Tonight was bbq chicken, smashed garlic butter taters and rolls for the kids. Dh is having a ham sandwich that's baked in a bread bowl with cheese, mayo, spinach and honey mustard in it. Sounds odd but tastes good....trust me!
Got an email today from the ladies who ordered the baked goods for their shoe store and they were very happy. pheww! That made me feel better since I always wonder. OF course I have to go tuesday and pick up some plates I have there and get paid, so maybe then they will change their mind .
In N Out Burger for late lunch
no dinner - just snackin'
OK was a wierd day. Kids mostly munched all day DD went to a B-Day party this afternoon. And DS is grounded so he is sleeping his sentence off (for skipping school with some girls in my car) And DH is working 7 days a week. So we usually watch the commercial show (SUPER BOWL) But he slept. I put BBQ little smokies in the crockpot and we all ate them when we wanted. DD ate some cereal and some applesauce. And DS made himself some sort of egg sandwhich 
( I get to clean the mess)
mkolmar DD is one the mend still kind of soft foods. And when her spacer comes in we will probably have some issues then as well. But she is a tough cookie so maybe it will be easy
joanmary You snackin to It is so much easier that way
JUJU glad you are on the mend but get some more rest OK 
You still need it
Today we had some noodle stuffed with cheese and had veggies with it. We didn't like it as you can tell. Oh well we ate it anyway.
Tonight my DD who is 6 wanted to make dinner. She made a salad with chunks of banana in it and mayo and then peanut butter cheese sandwiches on wheat bread. Ok, I served her food and the kids did take a few bites out of it but I made blueberry muffins just in case 
and they each ate 2 a piece.
DH and I are having oriental salad with chicken. I still need to go an make the dressing up though but thought I'd stop by here first.
It was 0 out this morning with a high of 7 today! and it's going to be -6 out tonight. It's actually suppose to be colder out tomorrow. aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! I'm not ment for the cold. I hope it's warmer where you all are at! Stay warm everyone!
TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN ASKING ABOUT ME & WORRING--I AM SO SO SORRY, never did i think about y'all worry about the because of the tornadoes...i didn't even know about them until saturday, i've just been busy decorating a baby shower cake, then i had to go to the baby shower (that's where i found out about all the devastation in central fl) after i left there, it was off to a family get together, then sunday was church...i did very briefly send out some e-mails to some friends sunday night, watched the BEARS lose the super bowl 
, so again i'm so sorry, i sure hope everyone is okay--BTW--monica is still alive (as of sunday that is) just hasn't been to the table lately i guess--so tonight was a quick supper of
mac & cheese
chicken nuggets
nothing special there 
Hey, Y'all!
Gah! I dropped one of my chocolate cheesecakes in the freezer this evening. It was hot out of the oven and PllllLLOOOOP! Right down the dang'd door of the fridge/freezer. What a MESS! Gah! My neighbor lady had ordered 4 cheesecakes for her bunko (?) group and that was one of them....
JUJU: Noodle with cheese? Hmmmm....tell us more! I'm glad you're better--I know how it is to be "down."
KOLMAR: We were toasty warm today---our HIGH was like 28. Morning wind chills of like 7. 
And fruit with mayo is the coming thing...
DALTONAM: We're glad you're ok, Girl! And we know Monica is hiding from us! lol
KAYCHRISTENSEN: Nothing like some snack-all-day-kinda-food!! Loves me some of those lil' smokies, dude!!
JOANMARY: What is In-N-Out? We don't have those here. Is it like a 7-11? We don't have those either... 
Tonight was:
Ranch pork chops
Pasta salad (love!)
Corn
Pomegranite tea...(mix brewed tea with Pom Pure juice!)
--Knox--
knox - In N Out are burgers and fries. It is fast food made slow. They make their own fried, etc. My husband says it is better for you than MickeyD!!?? I have my reservations.
Salad with pork (I know - weird choice of meat but it was what we had leftover). Actually made some ribs for later in the week when we have company.
Tara - glad you are ok.
Hey yall. I am here. I have not been here cause of no reason. I am real soory I am worrying (sp?) yall. We (Mom & I) are remodeling the house, mostly the upstairs bathrom. So its been interesting to say the least. We are having EVERY wall including the ceilings painted. So that means that we have to move EVERYTHING except the furnature. I have to move ALL my cake stuff & there is a TON of cake stuff.
Last night I made hamburger steak on the George Froman Grill, green beans & Galrlic Crossants....yumm-o
Knox Sorry about your cheese cake.
mkolmar- that sweet about your daughter wanting to make dinner.
butterflyjuju I hope you feel better SOON! I have migranes so I know how you feel. Get well.
Yall I will chat with ya later
Love you all
Have a GREAT day
Good evening yall.
I had hamburger/vegie soup w/ cornbread for dinner tonight.
Were is everyone
welcome back ladies
School for the kids was cancelled again today, of course I still had to go to school The weather is so cold out that almost everything is getting canceled. (but my college--other colleges canceled but NOOOOOO not mine!) I'm really wanting to go!
Tonight was natural hot dogs for the kids with cheeze-its and pizza I made in school today and brought home fror DH, he's also eating a can of pineapple right now. (and peering over my shoulder as I type this )
Glad you are all safe and doing well!
Knox--the noodle with cheese thing was a packaged thing we got. The name was really long and the package is long gone sorry.
Tonight was:
Baked chicken
broccoli with cheese
pickles.
WOW!! The former replies page actually popped up for me tonight--on THIS page! (Like it's supposed to.)
What a DAY! Got off at 2:00 and then we went to look at a house that a lady wants moved off her property. It was MADE FOR MY CAKE BUSINESS!!! Older home, but HUGE. The "pantry" is the size of my small bedroom. Custom cabinets everywhere for cake pans/stuff. Kitchen you could park a Volkswagon in. Perfect place for a built-in double oven. Beautiful cabinets. A doorway in the kitchen, a doorway into the pantry, a doorway into the dining room. That way--if someone wanted to pick up their cakes, they wouldn't have to see the whole dang'd house--just pick it up and right back out the same door!!!!
She only wants $50,000 for the whole thing, including moving costs. I just have to find some land for it to sit on, and talk the Old Man into selling this house. This was his Mom & Dad's house, they bought it new--so there's a lot of sentimentality there. Probably won't happen, but I'd be a happy girl if it did happen! A girl can always dream, I reckon.
JUJU: I absolutely love pickles. Just about any kind! Bread & butter (homemade) are my favorites with dinner!
KOLMAR: Try to stay safe and warm. That kind of cold can literally freeze your airways BEFORE you know it. Seriously!
MONICA: How's the remodel going? Lucky! I love hamburger soup. Or just hamburger. Love, love love me some hamburger!!!
Tonight was bbq from my little favorite place. Good grannies, they've got the best ribs. Mmmm. Make you smack your momma--lots of smoke flavor. They use hickory to smoke it all day. Don't git no better'n nat, y'all!
--Knox--
Dang guys I swear I posted last night. We had spaghetti last night.
Welcome back Monica and Daltonam I am glad eveything is going great.
Daltonam I heard of the devastion and wondered where you were.
Monica didn't know what was up with you. Hope the renovating will go good for you.
mkolmar You know your school is always the last to close. Just because. That is what my teenager says Me wants SOME PIZZA PLEASE I am still craving Pizza Hut. Sorry and I hope your weather gets better as well. I know we are DOOMED When is SPRING going to get here
JUJU Glad you all are on the mend. And don't you love trying new box foods and they stink
Knox WE ALL DREAM BIG THAT WOULD BE MY DREAM A HUGE HOUSE I COULD DO MY CAKES IN AND NOT LEAVE MY COMFORT ZONE I could do my cakes at 2 in the morning if I need to and I do I hope you get a great Valentines gift. YOUR DREAM HOUSE OH PS I HOPE YOU WIN THE LOTTERY. That is what I would need SERIOUSLY I REALLY AM IN YOUR CORNER. YOU GO GIRL Maybe he can see your dream
Gotta post QUICK--(roll call at 6!)
I just wanted to mention: It's a HOUSE--not a trailer. I thought the post made it look like a trailer, but it's an actual house. HUGE. BRICK.
Anyone know anyone who's ever moved a house? Any thoughts? Scares the bajeebers outta me--I dreamed about it being all torn up last night! Gah!
--Knox--
Knox I am laughing at you cause you are looking at this house cause is "cakeable" that is SO funny to me because I would do the VERY same thing Good luck to you I am not sure about that moving a house thing. Wonder if it causes the house to crack at the foundation? That would scare me. ANyway I really do not know much about that stuff so I will shut up 
The remodeling is going great. They are really doing this in a hurry. A good hurry. No piddling around. The painters come Monday. I am worried about my INDOOR cat Hes 11 & never been outside. What about Paint fumes?
THank you all for the well wishes
Edited to say I have no idea whats for dinner tonight.
KNOX--you can move a house that has a wood floor system in it, i've seen it done before...they tore all of the bricks off & all preparing it for the move, then bricked it again or whatever after it was where they wanted it.
KAY--north florida
last night was micky D's & i got in a fight with them--cold fries 'P' me off!!
way to go knox!!!! go on with your cake-able house....now for convincing the DH that might be another story.
Dalt--cold fries are always gross!!!
Monica-good luck on the remodeling.
My dad brought over pizza and cinna-sticks so that's what we had...healthy huh?
We had ham and cheese sandwiches, kosher dill pickles, broccoli and cheese, and pringles.
Hey yall...
I went to the Doc today. (Tara I need to call ya about it). After the doc (5 PM) I went to get something to eat cause I had skipped lunch. I went to Wallys. Its a home cooking restraunt. I had hamburger steak & french fries. Man was it yummy!!
Then I had ramen noodles when I got home.
I think am still hungry
Oh my goodness, I know it has been since at least a page in the 80's since I have stopped by the dinner table to join you guys.
December just flew by with birthdays, holidays, and company coming to visit. Then the beginning of January I got laid off of work so you would think i had time to be on here more but I have been trying to find another job and then a family member is going through a divorce so my BF and I are spending more time with the kids....
Phew... So to get back on track. Glad to see everyone is still here and so many new faces (although I will admit I did not go back and read all 30 something pages LOL)
So tonight my BF and I went out to eat with his sister and her kids, his dad, and my parents. So there was a variety of food at the table-local Italian restaurant! 3 different pizza's, a meatball sandwhich, and a couple of great pasta's
LEILY'S BACK!! PARTY TIME!! EXCELLENT!! 
MONICA: Hope you're doing ok!
JUJU: More pickles, dude! Love some pickles, now you've got ME wanting some!
KOLMAR: Yep! Convincing the DH is the obstacle, alright. I have had dreams for the past two nights about the crazy house falling apart into a hole...wonder what that means? Like maybe I don't believe in it? Hmmm... 
Was reading up on the moving a house type thing, and DALTONAM is right! They DO tear off the bricks first! (smarty...)
Tonight was:
Meatloaf
Mac & cheese
Salad w/homemade ranch
Water
Cheesecake
--Knox--
Hey all! Monday was Chili, Tuesday Spaghetti, tonight leftovers.
Oh, and been super busy as we (pretty much) adopted a new daughter! Dd has her first "very bestest friend", a girl from her class, and the girls have been going back and forth spending the night for the past couple of weeks. 48 hours apart and they are both bawling, 48 hours together and we still have a difficult time separating them! It's been baking, crafting, painting, the works here, and I'm loving it! Took them to the mall for dd's birthday trip, and a trip it was! Two 5 y/o girls, each with money to spend AAARGH! Chinese for her birthday dinner tomorrow. Oh, and we all survived the first slumber party. TGI OVER!
wow Zmama you have been busy. You are a brave person too taking them both to the mall, I would have lost my mind probly. (or what ever little is left)
Tonight was italian breaded chicken with mac n cheese for the kids, oreo ice cream too. (my DD doesn't like oreos though so now I'm making homemade hot chocolate ) I'm making cajun chicken pasta tonight for DH and I. (of course I already ate a piece of breaded chicken though so maybe none for me!) I have to make an apple coffee cake for tomorrow for DH's breakfast and my MIL will be 63 so I need to make her either a choc. mousse or choc. coconut burbon cake.
Have ya'll ever noticed how much mac n cheese is always mentioned on here
well we almost had mac n' cheese tonight but i was thinking ahead and put something in the crock pot mid afternoon.
it is called Quick-Fix layered Chicken Casserole. It took me about 5 mins to put together in the crockpot and oh boy does it smell good. Should be done in about 1 hr so I will stop back in and let you know how it is.
It is boxed scalloped potatoes on the bottom, then layers of Frozen vegetables and chicken breast tenders along with some other seasonings and then a soup/water mixture poured over the top. I hope it is good b/c I will definitely be making it again with how quick it went together.
Yall I am feelin like poo I came home from work early.
I have Mac & cheese, Sweet potatoes & Crossiants from Williams Sonoma.
I think I am going to go lay down.
Hey, Y'all! Took the day off from work today. I had to go to the cake supply and HOBBY LOBBY to get cake stuff. Gah! It wasn't bad at all, but the MONEY you can spend on cake stuff just gets me every time.
I've got a mocha-ganache cake for a birthday due Saturday night, and a bad-ass package-ensemble cake due at 12 on Saturday. That's all well and good--no problem. BUT----BUT---The lady who's ordered the package cake (the badd ass cake) is one of my DS' sub-teachers. He took a book of my pics to school one day, and she CANCELED her order with her regular cake lady and ordered from me. (I told her I would gladly make her another cake someday, and to keep the order with the other bakery owner. She didn't listen, obviously.)
She tells me, "I've only got $75 budgeted for this cake. Even though I certainly know your time is valuable, and this cake is very labor intensive. Your work is so stunning, and if you could help me--I have so many people with so many cake orders for you!"
The cake she wants is indeed labor intensive. It's a 6 inch 3 layer hatbox on top, with the big loopy bow on top. Then a tiny draw-string purse next to it, another 4 inch hatbox and a small package. All of that on TOP of a 9 inch round. I'm going for the "pile of ladies' boxes/packages" look. I know y'all know what I mean. Whatever--I'm maybe breaking even on this one. Not by much though, maybe a few dollars. But in the spirit of getting MORE business in the future--I'm doing it. Normally--I'd charge about $200 for this cake group--and I'd get it.
Now---why the long narrative, you ask? SHE'S DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY BANANA-SANDWICH!! She's called about 3 different times--in the idea of getting everything "just perfect." She's E-MAILED me like 5 times!! She's asked for a PICTURE so she could show her family!!! She's asked about table decor'!!! She's made it explicit as to the flavors!!! She's asked whether I used box-mixes or scratch!!!
I could go on & on... Let's just say I'll be EXTREMELY glad when Saturday's over.
Ok. My rant is over now! THanks for listening, y'all! So glad to have my cake girls around the table.
ZMAMA: You're a better woman than I am. Lawwwd. Habb. Merseh. I'd eat a valium the size of a MOON PIE if I had to deal with two giggly little girls in a mall! They're only little once, though.
KOLMAR: I'll take some of that chicken, Girl! And your DD doesn't like OREOS?? Doh! What happened to her? (joking) That's rare, though; a child who doesn't like Oreos.
LEILY: That casserole sounds really good. I'll take some of that too! Get it here quick, so I can have a lil' bit of everything good at once!
MONICA: Get over the crud, Dude! Get better quick.
TONIGHT:
(something easy--I'm already baking & squirting.)
Fish sticks & fries
--Knox--
We had ribeye steaks, fried potatoes, and green beans.
Man I am so tired today. Don't know if it's the after effect of the flu or what. I've struggled all day to stay awake.
