Perfect bean dip!

1 15 oz can black beans
small onion
1/4 bunch cilantro
4 cloves garlic
1 table spoon tahini
1 teaspoon cummin
2 table spoons lime juice
1 small tomato chopped rough or 1/2 small can of tomato

throw this all into the food processor. I throw one thing at a time starting with onion and cilantro.....

best if you let it chill for about an hour before eating but you don't have to do that.

The things you get roped into...

Jennifer called and ask me if I'd help with the PTO drive. All I need to do is a bulletin board for the 4th grade ( I don't even have a child in the 4th grade), BUT being the nice person that I am ( or sucker), I said OK. No good deed goes unpunished... Well, not only do I have to make a themed bulletin board I have to collect names and put them on this board at least weekly for six weeks...

Right now I'm trying to make a tiger. My theme is Roaring for PTO.

Oh well! After this I'm done! I'll go on field trips or supply snacks the rest of the year.

Getting ready for Halloween and Dead of the Dead celebrations!

This is the first Nichos I've ever made! I LOVE it! something new and unusual for my scrapbook suplies!

Need a change

New template! This blog needed a change! Going to try to focus a little more on scrapboking and crafts. A tad less on weight....famous last words since I'm sort of obsessed with losing weight at this point...BUT there is so much more to life than that!

Going to work on getting another blog going for Halloween! It will be with all Halloween ideas and tips for having a hauntingly good time! I'm so excited about this year! should be the BEST yet!!!

My most FAVORITE time of the Year!

It's starting to be that time of the year!!! When this girl's fancy turns to HALLOWEEN!

Today I start working on making my corpse for the Haunted house! Last year I bought a book of the web Corpses for Sale http://www.distefano.com/cfs.htm
They make the most realistic gore! I have all the materials to start the skull! I can't wait!

Day one will be painting. (Should I sent this in to Scrapbooks Etc. using scrapping material for other projects? LOL!) I'll be using my acrylic paints brick red, brown and green.

Wish me luck this is my first corpse! last year Jim built me a toe hugger coffin! Isn't he romantic? LOL!

Yo-yo

I found this on my old AOL blog:

I'm now 190.6 as of my last weigh in on Friday at Curves. I really rock! WOO HOO, for me! Today I got on my scale at home and it was 185. Helps to be nude and not eat any thing, LOL! Seriously, I am proud of myself. If I keep this up I'll be better than half way to my goal of 148 before Christmas then just 28 more to go.

THAT WAS SEPT 21, 2005 shortly after that I fell of the wagon in a slow slide back up to 229...fast forward to March 2007...

Guess I'm the queen of do over and over again! I'm pretty much at this point once again only difference is I'm going to the MAC not Curves this time, and my home scale is the the one reading 189.5...

I'm beginning to get those old feelings again about always watching what I put in my mouth, dragging myself to the gym... I Need something to snap me out of it! What's wrong with me? Why get so far and feel like giving up? Maybe it just hormones talking today. Any way I need a JOLT!

Dare I say it looks like rain?

It been HOT here. HOT doesn't really cover it. It's been like a bad fever around here getting to 107. We need some relief! It is usually hot in August in Tennessee but not like this ever in my memory. Pretty soon we're going to be doing a rain dance! I hate to wish the heat away because to tell the truth I've been enjoying it by the pool. I don't want Fall yet! But I don't want any more people to die of heat related deaths. The kids in one school science class baked cookies in a car that's how hot it is.

Feeling HOT, HOT, HOT doesn't cover it!
