aww my son is soo cute

he decided to dance with me just now when my favorite song “you and me” by lifehouse came on the radio. is that not the sweetest thing ever. he dances pretty well for being 3 years old and 3ft 4 1/2 inches tall. he is such a gentleman, too. he doesn’t get too close to your body, but doesn’t back away so far you can’t dance together.


Mmm food..and recipes, too

You guys know by now how I love recipes and new gourmet products. I order stuff from BocaJava *gourmet coffee* all the time. Today I found a site with dip mixes and bags of nut mixes called Dippy Chick. Cute name, no? They have a wide variety of dip mixes and they do have a free recipe page which is what really caught my eye to start with. I am always looking for recipes!! I even have a trail of recipes that is ever increasing.

all dips stacked 4in

Then I found out that she is a mompreneur. That really got my attention. She started in her kitchen and grew to a company that has 60 stores carrying her products *hint hint ;) *
I am laughing now as I look through all the names of her products..Crabby Ol’ Beach LOL


< rant > tired of seeing this :

Interspecies relationships on children’s cartoons. Um HELLO how is a giraffe going to mate with a squirrel? A fox with a pig? and all the other nonsensical relationships that they purport on these kid shows and movies. There’s even a commercial with a centipede married to an animal. Cripes sakes! I know they have been doing this for EVER with daffy and bugs being in love with human women…pepe lePew being in love with a cat *altho he swears she is a skunk* … the wolf howling at the hot human gal dancing on stage.. whatever. I just think it’s overdone and confusing to young children. I already have to explain to my son the wonders of the Bible in a way he can understand *talk about HARD* … I’m not trying to go into why the animal kingdom is portrayed this way on television if it isn’t true.
MAKE MY JOB HARDER WHY DONT YOU!!!
gah

in other news i am tired of being clumsy…i burned another set of my beautiful stove burner covers yesterday…this makes the 2nd set. I am not a happy camper. the other day i broke the top
to my sugar bowl, but thank God elmer’s glue is so good at holding things together… and i keep dropping things. im an emotional mess and everything makes me cry. i don’t quite know what’s going on with me but it’s annoying as hell.


FAFSA help

Got wind of a site that gives you tips on how to fill out the FAFSA and get your maximum benefit. FAFSA online.com outlines nine secrets to filling out the forms for financial aid. It also features an audio walkthrough in MP3 form that will help those us who follow auditory cues better than just reading them online. There is also a step by step tutorial that shows you exactly what you need to put in each section. I have filled out the FAFSA myself a few times, and let me tell you how thankful I was to only have to do a renewal form after that. It was a harrowing experience for my parents and I who had never had to use these forms before. Wish we had this information all in one place then. At least I get to share it with all of you now!


EBAY love!!

You know I have to let you guys know when I find Ebay helpers. I have heard of different websites that you pay for in order for them to bid at the last second and take the prize for you, but I never figured I would need to invest myself because I am one of those people that will sit and eyeball the auction, refreshing every 2 seconds to make sure that I don’t get gypped at the last second. As my time on Ebay has become more limited, I have been looking into sniper programs more and more. Ebay junkies like myself will find value in this type of deal. Their prices aren’t terrible and you get a 15 day free trial to check out the service. When we get back on the Ebay horse more *like the closer we get to Christmas* I just might have to take them up on that trial offer ;)
