Addictions

Have you ever had an addiction to something that you used to purposefully keep you from doing what you should be doing? My current addiction is Word twist on Facebook. It is a great game and quite franklyit is much better than all of the cleaning and organizing that I should be doing.

In the past I have used reading, solitaire, tv, big projects, detail organizing, errands, and the list goes on and on, as things to do to keep me from what I should be doing. I look at what I have ahead of me and dread every second of it. I then find something that I find a better or more fun thing to do and I do that instead.

So, like I said, the current thing is word twist. I broke everybody's highest score and blew everybody out of the water with a whoppin' score of 106. I consider myself the Phelps of wordtwist. Yep, I got the oplympian sensation as I scored higher than anybody else by 10 points. Hee hee. :o) I really probably shouldn't be proud of this because it proves that I have been on the game way too much, but I am going to take my accomplishments where ever I can find them.

Nice Olympic sensation. After you broke my high score on Word Twist I kind of felt like the French team that lost to Phelps and the Boys. Thought I was all that...then you quietly came up and blew me away.

I've never tried Work Twist but I can relate to wanting to do anything but clean house. I'm telling everyone that dust is my new art medium.

Oh man! I thought I was doing good by having a high score of 100! Of course, I've also only played it about 10 times. ;) I am just like you! I was halfway through the dishes and now here I am....

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

Mmmm, Chocolate!

I have said before that I love photography. My other love is children and my favorite thing to photograph is children. I love capturing their innocent moments. My kids have gotten pretty good at ignoring the camera although Rachael taught Jillian how to say cheese (when the camera was pointed at her) when she was still a baby. Last night I made homemade brownies. They were so good and so easy to make. Of course the kids got to lick the mixing spoons. Since I have so many kids they have to take turn on who gets to lick the spoons though. This time it was the older kids turn. Jillian, being the baby and totally spoiled, still got a utensil to lick. She was so adorable with the spatula that I had to grab the camera.
