Adding New Recipes over at The Country Girl Cooks and Talks Money

I’m in the process of adding new recipes over at my other blog The Country Girl Cooks and Talks Money. Hope to see you there. Putting up some really good stuff today – the printable version and the photo “how to” version (most of the “how to’s” will be up later after my nap).

Batman….We have a problem!

Robin’s down! According to my father, our patio door is a bird killer. The other day he was sitting in our living room watching tv when he heard a “THUD THUD” against our patio door and this is what he found.

Does it make me a “bad” person that I’m posting about the untimely death of Robin? I can’t really decide.

Movie Numero 7 ~ Mr. Holland’s Opus

I haven’t done a movie post in a little while so I thought that I would introduce my readers to another movie that I think you should see before you die. The movie I’ve chosen this time around is Mr. Holland’s Opus. AWESOME movie!

Richard Dreyfuss plays Glenn Holland who is a professional musician who would like to spend more time working on the piece that he is composing, so in 1965 he takes up teaching music at a local high school. Little does he know that there won’t be very much “free time” as a teacher.

In the beginning, Mr. Holland is frustrated that he is unable to connect with his students, but over time he becomes very successful at his profession. At home though, he is struggling with with a major “issue” surrounding his son and struggles through the years to develop any kind of relationship with him. When the music program is cut after 30 years, Mr. Holland wonders what, if anything, he really has accomplished in his life.

Just some randomness from my little ADD mind

Yesterday I posted that I felt a little bit out of place here in the bloggyland….Lot’s of mommy bloggers out there. Some of the blogs that I visit are written by mom’s and I love them….I’m just a little bit out of my “element” I guess with really little kids….It’s been a while since I was a little little kid and my youngest cousin is 11. Thanks for all the encouraging comments on my True to Life post yesterday.

I’m going to try to start posting more than one post a day…so keep scrolling or check out the archives if your coming here via a specific post. This post itself will be my third post of the day…I’ve done Tasty Tuesday, and a tag so far. Later, probably after my nap, I will be handing out an award and posting about another movie on my list….I haven’t done one of those posts in a little while.

I lost a follower sometime between yesterday and today. That makes me sad…I’ll get over it though….I’ll find out who my friends are right?!

Going to sign off for now.

True to Life part 3

I feel sort of out of place here in the blogging world. A lot of the blogs that I visit or have visited via my comment support group SITS seem to be more “mommy” blogs. Sometimes I feel that when I comment on a “mommy” blog that when they come to visit my blog and find out that my blog isn’t a “mommy” blog they don’t leave comments. I’m not knocking “mommy” bloggers….Hey that’s totally AWESOME to blog about your kiddo’s….I just feel left out, cause I’m not a mommy.

Have I mentioned that I hate feeling like it’s me against the world? If I haven’t I do….A LOT. Right now….It seems that the world is winning instead of me…I hate that even more.

Have I mentioned that I’m jealous of my mom’s new DSLR camera? I want one too…Just can’t afford it.

Have I mentioned that I love blogging about my “problems?” It’s definately cheaper than therapy.

to be continued…..
