Whats in your Kaboose?

So I felt the need for something new recipe wise in my life. I discovered a great site that not only has some unique recipes, but TONS of other information... even better if you have kids.

Kaboose.com

Mango & Roasted Cashew Salad.

I don't have the cashews, but this looks like just the type of dish that can be good & perfect to take to parties, bet no one else shows up with it! I have really been on a mango kick lately. I just want to lick the screen! ...but I won't, I promise.....really, I won't. :)

When does it get easier exactly?

So its been one month. A month since out of no where my life changed & my dreams were crushed without warning. Thankfully I'm just dealing with the pain & not an actual divorce. Still I get the raw emotion that can lead to anger.

Still I don't know if I will ever get to the stage these ladies are at....

DIVORCE CAKES

Oh yeah, there seems to be a market for these things out there.

aw..... the cuteness factor went WAY up in here

Some days you just need a remind that all is not wrong in the world. There is hope for the future & man o man is it cute!



BABY ANIMALS... need I say more!

Yeah that last one is little me many, many years ago. I would be willing to bet that kids now days don't get to cuddle big cats! Lol...

the Laaaand of the Looooost

Well I was surprised by my boss with a 1/2 day off work paid today! I come home & find out from my dad that there is a Land of the Lost marathon on the SciFi channel. He remembered how much I liked it as a kid & had to call to let me know.

So I started watching & sorta remembered the show but still certain things were bugging me.. like names & why they were stuck there. So I googled.

Want more info on it? You know you do since Will Ferrell has an updated movie version coming out soon, no doubt that is the cause for the marathon!

Also while looking on YouTube & reminiscing on old TV I came across this lil gem...



....now go brush your teeth or you will never get that jingle out of your head! :)

WHAT did you say that the web address was?

Oh think before typing...

We all do it, but sometimes when we just pick a name - be it screen name, website name, whatever, it just doesn't turn out as intended.

These gave me a chuckle.

Oh boy...someone I'm sure is wishing they had thought things through a bit more!

Oh land mills...

Oh family photos.. some are memories, some are precious & some...well...

They end up here.

um... maybe you might want a change of pants....BEFORE THE PIC!

Bird brain...oh yes more talking birds

Victor seems like a bird after my own heart. Maybe even yours....


Course....he also slightly creeps me out.

Ding dong.. DRINK

I think playing games like these show my age a little....
especially when it comes from a coffee blog!


the House Hunters Drinking Game!

& for those of you who just can't wait... I think you can find episodes on Hulu!

My Budgie Boys!

So I MADE today be a good day.

I was determined. I derseve a good day. So I let the birds meet finally! Had to share... so a link of self promotion!

Birds of my Heart
Bongo is my blue bird of happiness & Bijou is the lil romeo that keeps me feeling needed around here!
I am so lucky to have these two goof balls in my life. They are just the best!

We all fall down..

No clue.

Sorry. Still dealing with the insanity of everything that has happened recently & thought I would share another insanely pointless link....

Tower of Bears.

Stop & Design the Flowers

I have wasted waaaaay too many hours on today's site since finding it late last night.

Nope its not a game, more of a virtual art project.

You can make unique flowers, then save them for anyone to use. I know sounds sorta bording, but trust,....it has a zen like quality about it all. :)

So go, make a flower that is all your own.

Cool Beans

Don't ask me.... I have no idea.

Smash these screaming beans!

All I know is I cracked up laughing at these poor lil beans. Oh the randomness of everything online is just too much sometimes.

Now I'm craving baked beans for dinner, yet don't think I can look at them the same way again.

Insulting

So call me childish, call me angry, call me what ever you like. Need help?

Try today's link, the Insult Generator!

You may begin calling that jerk that cut you off in traffic such things as a Dung Riding Hamster Gurgler!


Some of them are hilarious & some are just odd, but I can pretty much bet that they are original & things that you would never have thought of otherwise!

Cinco de Mayohave another?

So not really in a festive mood myself, especially for a holiday that doesn't seem to be about much other than drinking tequila drinks or mexican beer & packing every mexican restaurant slam full.

However, a twitter from Cake Wrecks, did make me smile & wish I had a cup cake!


Oh there are more! More styles to bring the dulce feista to your boca!

Maybe I will treat myself some time soon.

May the Fourth be with you

Yup its Star Wars day...



I adore this lil one's take on the movie.

odd couple

Just an example that love can exist in so many ways.

Cults cut deep

...ok I'm ready to feel better. Unfortunately today doesn't seem to be the day.

I spoke with the ex (ug it hurts to even type that) & we ended up just getting into it. He still claims to have loved & still love me & want my friendship, yet still doesn't see how I can be a part of his life in the future as a girlfriend or wife.

I've heard of cold feet, but his created a whole new polar ice cap. Doesn't help that he has this new church to back up his insecurities. No matter what, it all boils down to he didn't have any real faith in our relationship, our future or me.

I keep wondering what I could have done differently to encourage him or show my support that we can live happily admist the differences. I keep wondering how I can get him to realize what he is doing by ditching his friend, his dreams & retreating into a place where is focus is just on the church & his relationship with god. I know its (& should always be) important to keep that relationship strong, but I don't believe it should be the ONLY relationship.

My belief is love, real love is rare & truly a gift from the almighty - however you perceive it to be. No good can come from destroying it out of fear.

Anyway... enough of my emotional release.... on to today's sites.

Healthy Faith VS UnHealthy Faith - Judgement of other's beliefs that vary from your own is not healthy.

http://www.howcultswork.com/ - Cults also try to cut you off from your friends and family because they hate others being able to influence you. A mind control cult will seek to manoeuvre your life so as to maximize your contact with cult members and minimize your contact with people outside the group, especially those who oppose your involvement.


I promise I will get back to the fluff. I just need to get this out of my system & express it somewhere. I have hope that one day, my ex will find a way to real happiness.

I'm the stuff that got left behind

So today....I am all over the place. One moment I'm optimistic thinking we can work it out, the next I'm throwing a pity party for myself wondering why I wasn't enough, then I get pissed & just want to celebrate that I escaped a life with this guy. But the reality is my heart is broken & nothing but time will heal. The anger is just my best defense at the moment.

Hopefully I can do something good with the energy.



Like these people...

Today's site gives gals (& guys) a place to unload the leftovers of the relationship that is no more. Make a little cash from the pain.
