Ice Cream Cake
On my birthday I so wanted an Ice Cream Cake for my birthday cake. I got one too 🙂 My husband and my mommy love me!! They actually bought mine from Dairy Queen, however I ran across this recipe for an Ice Cream Cake and you can bet your bottom dollar that I plan on making this someday 🙂
You mean everything to me! Happy Birthday Wife!!
The Beautiful woman who is now my wife was born 28 years ago today. This woman often sells herself short, she doesn’t realize just how smart and wonderful and beautiful she really is. She is the love of my life, only god comes before her. I would like to take this opportunity to share a few of the reasons she is so wonderful.
She is beautiful.
She is Caring.
She is smart.
She is funny.
She is all about family.
She is a wonderful mother.
She is my best friend.
She is wife.
She is MINE!
And so to you my beautiful wife… HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I wish you MANY more, and I promise to try my best to make each and every one special.
Cowboy Butts
So I went to the Fortune Teller to see what my future held in store.
She said I’d meet a cowboy that’d make me fall to the floor.
I looked at her oddly and she showed me the cards
Then we moved over a couple yards.
She showed me her crystal ball and this is what I saw
A cowboy butt that stood real tall.
It sure looked familiar like I’d seen it before.
But maybe truly I’d seen it behind.
Guess I’ll have to ponder that for a while 🙂
**Happy Friday. Tomorrow is my birthday and my hubby has written a special post, I’m just not sure what it says. I promised him I wouldn’t read it until it posted 🙂**
True Love is…
True Love is eating all my creations even if they don’t turn out just right
True Love is telling me I’m beautiful even if I don’t agree
True Love is bettering yourself for our family
True Love is looking out for my dog
True Love is helping out my family
True Love is blowing off my temper tantrums
True Love getting excited over the little things with me
True Love is listening to me rant and rave when things don’t go quite as planned
True Love is calling me just to say I love you
True Love is pushing me to be my best
True Love is you, being you!

Well, Hellllllllooooooo all my fine feathered friends… Lol 🙂
As you can tell, I’ve had posts posting, but I haven’t been by to see you in a short while… Things at work have been extremely CRAZY! and when I come home at night, I’m pooped!
I worked my butt off over the weekend and found out that 5:45am does in fact actually exist. In fact I even took a photo of it to share with you so you knew I wasn’t crazy!
And in Southern Oklahoma, this is what mornings at 5:45am look like:
I spent both days doing a lot of this:
btw, I hate painting trim, with a passion! |
The weather down there every day, 102ish. My uncle said they’ve been over 100 degrees for at least 27 days now. The ground down there looks horrid!
That’s the color of ALL the ground down there and many fire warnings are out |
Look at crack in the ground, every fence was that way. |
My uncle said a lot of the Texas cattle ranchers are having to sell cattle because there is no grass for them. In fact at the NCHA Futurity held in December, they are worried about having enough cattle for the shows. It’s a huge concern. So I say we pray for rain here, let’s pray for rain for the dryer parts of the country, and let the wet parts of the country get a chance to dry up a bit! (You know, after all the major flooding)
So then to add to all that excitement of the weekend, my sweetheart had an appointment Monday morning and he needed a driver. I told him no problem and worked it out for a day of vacation. All was going good until I got called for jury duty on no other than Monday. I don’t mind reporting for jury duty but seriously, when I have actual plans like driving my husband to an appointment…. . So my mom agreed to take him for me. We got home at 10:30 Sunday night (after a long weekend of helping my aunt) and the trial had been cancelled so I was able to take him after all to his appointment.
He had to take some medicine to “numb” him 1 1/2 hrs before, and so sitting in the waiting room,
Oh I had a fun old time laughing my butt off at him. The medicine made him loopy (hence needing a driver). Along with watching Maury, Here are some of the cute sayings he was telling me:
He eventually moved it to his forehead |

Alfredo Sauce Mishaps – Take Two
So, Alfredo Sauce Take-Two… I’d love to flat out tell you this round went better, but maybe you should continue to read. {Don’t know what I’m talking about… read the first mishap}
This time around we decided to make our own Ravioli. I’ve seen Giada DeLaurentiis do this before, looked easy enough, right?
So first off decide what you want for your filling. We chose Hamburger & Ricotta Cheese with a handful of Parmesan. I needed the rest for my Alfredo Sauce so I skimped a little on the Parm…
So brown up the hamburger.
Once that is browned, dump it off in another bowl (or get another skillet, whatever) so it has a chance to cool. Meanwhile, start on making your Alfredo. Now pour your 1 1/4 cups Chicken broth into the skillet. This time pay attention, make sure to grab the teaspoon, and put 4 teaspoons of flour into the chicken broth. (more…)
Frrrozen Hot Chocolate
Here is this weekend’s forecast…
Can I order some rain? We’re burning up here people! I don’t mind the heat, I’d just like a little rain to add to our heat!
So you remember that movie Serendipity?
And that Frozen Hot Chocolate they ate in the movie. (more…)
