New recipe site

I'm an avid reader of The Pioneer Woman's website, and today she launched a new recipe site called, Tasty Kitchen, which I'm already in love with. I'm not a huge cooking fan but I love browsing recipes & finding new things to make. The site is extremely easy to navigate & I look forward to using it more in the future.

In other news my neighbor had to go down to the police department & file a report against her step son. This is the neighbor who's husband just died & we're watching their dogs. It's a mess & her step son seems to think he has the right to take whatever it is he thinks he deserves from their house and sell. We're watching who goes up and down the hill to their house. If we see anyone without our neighbor or a friend of hers we're supposed to call the police. I just know this isn't how he'd want his son to be acting.

Memories.

Some memories fade,
Others slap you in the face
When you least expect it.
I lay here remembering you
When I should be sleeping.
I'll never forget your
Laugh, smiles & zest for life.
You left us to soon,
Still we grieve,
8 years later we mourn,
8 years later I still remember
Your laugh, voice & love of gardening.
I wish I could see you one more time,
To tell you that I love you & miss you every day,
How dad will forever have a piece of him missing, a hole that no one can fill.
Mostly I wish for more time.
If only that were possible...

Lemons in life.

As the clouds clear,
I see you.
The you I've seen,
before.
What happened?
To the past,
the way it was.
I laugh,
at myself
for thinking another
way,
at you
for being another
way,
at life,
for showing me the way.
In the end,
I'm here,
strong
&
loved by
amazing people.

Things on Tuesday.

Loathe:

* people who need you to be there for them but won't reciprocate.
* texting and getting a one word answer. we're not neanderthals. well maybe you are.
* blogging as of late.
* cancer.
* cancer.
* did i say cancer?

Love:

* YOU! The only person who's sitting out there in internet land right now reading this & is 100% sure this is meant for you. You are the one & only person time & time again I can count on to not give me one word text responses. To genuinely care. To listen to my random psycho babble. To pick me up when I fall, help me dust my arse off, & laugh with me for tripping over the hole in the first place. The one who can take one glance at me, stop whatever it is you're doing and ask me what's the matter. Who can figure out by a text message that I'm upset. Who can hear my tone over the phone, even tho I'm trying desperately to cover it up, that I'm upset. For you, I'm forever grateful God put you in my life. In my very dramaful, crazy, ridiculously clumsy life.

Epic Fail.

I didn't take any pictures yesterday. None. Zero. Nada. I was not in the mood for people for one and for two it was hot and muggy & I just didn't want to lug it around. Yesterday was one of those days where the littlest of things could & would set me off. I'm tired of people's drama & ignorance that continually ruins EVERY holiday. If people would just use a grain of their common sense things would go a whole lot smoother. Unfortunately as dad says, "You can't fix stupid". Happy Sunday.
