It is a Girl!

My son and his wife are expecting a baby girl in June. They just found out the sex of the baby today. They invited me to the ultrasound. Can we say that today's ultrasounds are awesome??? Wow! It is amazing how much detail can be seen of a 9 ounce baby. It really is mind boggling. This whole process motivates me to have another baby. Is there anything wrong with having children 25 years apart? Just kidding.....hahahaha!

I'm Baking Bread!

Yes, I am trying to bake bread. Okay, I don't have a yeast infection or I am not laundering money. I am talking about the old fashioned mixing yeast and flour to create bread. It is Illinois in January so there is not a hot spot in the house conducive to bread rising. With my awesome problem solving skills, I decided that the dough should rise in the oven for 1 hour. With the oven preheated and then turned off, I am anticipating that the bread will rise. I will conclude this experiment later. Hopefully, I will be munching on homemade bread while doing so!

Disclaimer: This bread recipe is out of the current Taste of Home magazine. It is a bread recipe simple enough for kids to make. Hmmm...we will see if it is truly that simple. I have a Masters Degree and I anticipate difficulty in executing this recipe to the finish. If it turns out, I'll share the recipe.

Oh My Gosh, I Have A Follower!

I have been a blog stalker for over a year now. As you can see, I haven't leaped into the blogosphere with both feet. My posts are very random and (probably) uninteresting. Now I feel pressure to step up to the plate and produce. Can I do it? Hmmm...time will tell. I have so much to learn but I think I am willing to give it a shot. Keep reading and we will see if it works out!

My Husband Gave Me A Wife For Christmas!

2010 is promising to be a great year. My husband gave me a cleaning lady for Christmas!! How funny is that? Actually my husband gave me a wife for Christmas! Her first cleaning was this past Thursday. She did an awesome job. If my husband paid me $65 a week to clean, I would probably be an awesome cleaner, too. Oh well, after almost 30 years of me cleaning my own house...I deserve a housekeeper! Woohooo...yes, I am a happy girl with no regrets or guilt. When the husband does something this outstanding, I can just say,"Thank you and I owe you one!"
