I found out something about the Irishman last night that could be a deal breaker, he does not love the movie Red Dawn as much as I do. How could anyone not love that movie, it was on last night, I kept randomly yelling Wolverines, it was greatness. I learned a lot watching that movie, in case of an invasion we should take to the mountains, we should all have hunting clothes and know how to use a bow and arrow and rifles. Also the stealthier the better, oh and ride a horse, we should all know how to ride a horse.
So, today is the 2nd day of the new year, so far I have kept several of my goals, I have read the bible every day, I have started a plan to read the bible through in a year, I am going from new to old. I have read the bible through several times in my life, I feel I need it now. I have also done research for some upcoming shows, we are going to have some great Conversations, you will not want to miss these. I have also begun getting back on track with my weight issues. I was doing so well, I looked so good, and then boom, I sat by Kay. I know you are wondering why would this derail you, well let me tell you, she is a baker. Of epic proportions, amazingly good sweet things, at first I resisted, she will tell you this. However, the day after day of, “taste this, doesn’t this smell good” got to me, I grabbed that fork and tasted. Well that is all she wrote, we all know I am a sugar addict, so off the wagon I went, in a huge way.
But I am here to tell you, back on the wagon I go, Kay has been told this, we now work different shifts, I love you Miss Kay but you are evil with your sweets!
I have not had an exciting week, just cooking my 15 bean soup, taking care of Jeffrey and Alex’s cats, as they are skiing, that is about it. Oh and being so sad that the Irishman does not love Red Dawn, still cannot get over that.
I did set some goals this year, to have better eating habits, to read the bible through and to be fiscally responsible, those were my biggies. Also to go where God leads me, I have to be honest, this radio thing, it is the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life. I feel like I was born to talk, thank you Shanon for giving me this opportunity to talk with you!
Ok people that is all she wrote, I am getting off of here, starting my day and being productive.
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a safe and happy new years eve, I was asleep before midnight, so I know I was safe!
As you all know I have had a long love affair with coffee, it continues today in a big way. It may come as a shock to all of you, that although I love coffee I have never invested in an expensive coffee maker. Until now. I saw a Cuisineart coffee maker that I fell in love with, had to have, so I got it! It grinds the coffee beans and makes the coffee all at once, how amazing is that! You have the option to use already ground coffee or you can use the fresh coffee beans. This morning I have already finished one pot of freshly ground coffee bean coffee! I think I am in love, the coffee maker is courtesy of Alex’s Christmas present to me.
Yesterday we tried the Twisted Root hamburger place everyone has been raving about. Well let me tell you, it lived up to the hype, wow, that burger rocked! it was perfection and I am not a big hamburger person, but I will be going back to this place. It was so big I could only eat like a fourth of it! Well worth the price and well worth the trip, we went to the one in Fairview. Love that place as well, will have to go back with Elizabeth Anne and make a day of shopping and lunch. They have amazing shops and lots of stuff to look at there.
We also went to Grapevine to the British Emporium, another well worth the trip scenarios. We found the Irish sausages I am in love with, American sausage just cannot compete. I can’t even begin to describe the flavor, it is just smooth, American sausage tends to be gristly, but this is not. I am in love!
We also went to the movies, we saw Sherlock Holmes, it was good, I love Robert Downey Jr, he is just greatness, loved the very last scene. Will not spoil it just in case you have not seen it.
We had a whole day of running errands, from the Apple store to Costco to the afore-mentioned happenings, it was our anniversary and it was a simple day.
It was nice, we hardly ever get to spend the day just running around and being slightly carefree.
I am making my 15 bean soup today, which only Elizabeth and I love, I don’t know why, because it rocks. It is a tradition that I make on New Years day, Elizabeth comes and takes half, then we feast, for a while. She told me yesterday she has been craving it, me too Elizabeth, me too. It is cooking as I write this. I hope everyone has a great day, a great start to the new years and a great year.
