Facebook........
So this week we are talking about the lovely net working site called facebook..... Or as allot of my friends call it "facespace"! When it comes to this topic I have mixed feelings! Do I have a facebook account? yes I do, Have I canceled it ever? yes I have a few times, only to come right back for more!
When I think about when I first joined, I was excited to connect with classmates from high school and cosmetology school I hadn't talked to in years. Then I had just had my third child and wanted to show her off. Well in the last five years allot has changed, my career, my marriage, my friends, I am going to school, and all my kids are in school. I think about what I use it for now and I think to myself, you should really get rid of it! Just think about it, I talk to my closest friends on the phone or through text and if something important happens to family or a close friend I am notified through phone. So why do I have this sight... Probably like 90% of other people to stalk the people we don't care for, look at pictures and be nosey... especially for those of us that have ex's! Now you can think what a weirdo, I would never do that, but come on that is totally what it is for! Think about how many marriages were ruined because of curiosity... "Where is my long lost love and what are they doing" I don't totally agree with how people put there life out there for the world to see, along with what ever else they did over the weekend in a drunken blear! Or if families put there loved ones pictures out there with swim suits on and god only knows whom is looking at them! The more I am writing about this the more I am thinking it is time to get off facebook! Does it really add positive substance to your life?

Valentines Day
Well another Valentines day is coming around the corner... To some that makes them think I wonder if my other half will remember, I wonder if I will get flowers, jewlery, chocolates? There are some that are single, and think they will just stay in for the day/night and pig out on ice cream or a favorite bottle of vino, just to get through it, without having to see all the happy couples! I have often wondered what the average person spends on this holiday? Flowers go up in cost, you can't take your loved one to burger king on Valentines day, it has to be spendy and romantic, or when she tells her friends they think he is cheap and doesn't care...
I myself look forward to this holiday, I have every year.. Well maybe not every year, I can remember a couple when I was alone. This year I am looking forward to Valentines day, I not only get to spend it with my children but my best friend, the one true love of my life. It may have taken us a while to get here, but it was something we always new was meant to be. For me this year I could care less about the flowers I am usually spoiled with, or expensive dinner, I am just thankful I get to spend it with my Valenitines!

Grandma~
As I look through my recipe box for my grandmothers famous
cookies. I can remember as a kids
walking from the family farm up to grandmas on a Saturday morning. I would get there and there she was neck deep
in flour in her kitchen. Saturday was
always her baking day. She would bake
pies, cookies and the weeks worth of bread.
The smells that filled the house could be smelt outside, apples,
cinnamon, chocolate and bread dough filled the air. My grandma was the glue that kept our family
together. She made all our holidays
special and you never thought once about missing it because of something else
going on. I think we all tried to be
better people when grandma was alive, never wanting to disappoint her in
anyway. When she passed on there was a
speech gave that I will forever cherish talking about my grandma and the type
of lady she was. How they seen it carry
on through her kids, grand kids, and great grand kids. What an honor I thought to have that kind of
effect on so many people. Every day I
strive to do better and remember what she would have done.
