It is not me and I have no idea what they will be selling. I have contacted them and have not gotten a response. I thought up the name of the blog back in 2008 and did quite a bit of research to make sure I was not stepping on anyone's toes at the time. I am a little irritated right now. <br />

I did eat one cheetos on Saturday. Accidents happen. So I have found something so awesome. Coconut milk creamer<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EG8CBdH_HaM/T076a_QD6XI/AAAAAAAACXU/McIjxh0yzn4/s1600/coconut%2Bmilk%2B.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EG8CBdH_HaM/T076a_QD6XI/AAAAAAAACXU/McIjxh0yzn4/s400/coconut%2Bmilk%2B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714780318742079858" border="0" /></a><br />It is so amazing. This will be a change that I will take with me for a long time. I have never been a fan of soy creamer but this is totally different, yay! I have been making some of the recipes from Pinterest, the most interesting have been the <a href="http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2012/02/easy-sweet-potato-veggie-burgers-with.html">sweet potato veggie burger</a> so tasty and filling.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-8917643495472085272012-02-18T14:09:00.004-05:002012-07-26T22:05:48.467-04:00Vegan for Lent<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O-Lv5Vzjct4/Tz_6rS8s0zI/AAAAAAAACXE/wFkipEotijM/s1600/Easter%2Bweekend%2B2009%2B056.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710558474256831282" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O-Lv5Vzjct4/Tz_6rS8s0zI/AAAAAAAACXE/wFkipEotijM/s400/Easter%2Bweekend%2B2009%2B056.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 313px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>I have made the choice to eat a vegan diet this Lent.<br />
<br />
I am doing this as a way to sacrifice and remember that I am so blessed, to reflect on life in general and think of others when I find myself wanting. I am not part of a religion that practices Lent but I choose to incorporate this tradition into my life and I am better because of it. I want to give up something that affects my life in a big way but I want to go into it prepared and ready to find joy in the process.<br />
<br />
For me this is a huge deal. I am a dairy fiend. I love all types of cheese, real butter and Greek yogurt. I am not a milk drinker but I am a fan of coffee with half and half so that will be a struggle from the start. I know there are soy and coconut creamers but both leave me wanting more. My first challenge will be coffee on Wednesday morning. <br />
<br />
I will miss bacon. I was a vegetarian for over ten years and bacon was my gateway meat back to a non-vegetarian diet. I will survive without beef, chicken and fish easily. Pork will be difficult. <br />
<br />
Honey remains on the approved foods list. It is my plan, my diet, my Lent so I get to make the rules. I try to stay as refined sugar-free as possible so to remain functioning, honey stays.<br />
<br />
I will keep updates of how I do on here. If I slip up, I will be honest about it. Last year I gave up sugar and it was very a difficult thing to do but I did it and only slipped up once. A co-worker brought kolaches in for everyone. It only occurred to me that I was eating sugar after I was midway through my second pineapple-cream cheese. I felt so guilty but I did not quit, I just got back on track.<br />
<br />
I have been <a href="http://pinterest.com/upcycledchic/thinking-about-trying-out-veganism/">pinning</a> recipes and reading blogs trying to become vegan savvy. I love <a href="http://vegandad.blogspot.com/">VeganDad</a>. I think hearty rib-sticking meals and complex salads will help in the beginning.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-25703437007397383522011-11-13T13:05:00.002-05:002011-11-13T13:10:03.947-05:00Creeps Me Out<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bvg0znC-xcA/TsAHMJd1jbI/AAAAAAAACV0/0nBmvPzqL4I/s1600/Cut-Toilet-Paper-Roll-300x225.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 225px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bvg0znC-xcA/TsAHMJd1jbI/AAAAAAAACV0/0nBmvPzqL4I/s400/Cut-Toilet-Paper-Roll-300x225.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5674543435767713202" border="0" /></a>It really does.

Between work, working on the new house, and moving into the new house I am missing everything fun. I missed the county fair, the state fair, I have not made caramel apples or turkey chili. I have no fall decorations except at the shop and we are all "Falled up" here. Usually by now I have already made pumpkin pancakes and a few mini loaves of pumpkin bread. I cannot find any Oktoberfests around here. I am whining, I know but gosh darn this is my favorite time of the year. I will let it go. It is not like this is the last fall ever. <br /><br />I will just have to make up for the loss at Christmas. I am pretty excited about the holidays this year. I will not have to travel 1800 miles to spend time with my family. I will not have three weeks off in the month of December either but work is different here and I am not nearly as stressed out. I know they are coming up to my house for Thanksgiving and maybe I can convince them to come up for Christmas too. It will be my first year home in a very long time so maybe my sister will let Santa come to my house. We shall see.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-27736551866144254482009-10-08T13:16:00.011-04:002009-10-08T14:47:13.349-04:00100th Post and I Bet Leaves are Fast TalkersI slept at the house last night. On an air mattress because I was too tired to drive to my grandfather's. It is one of those thick comfy mattress but it was still uncomfortable. My bed has spoiled me.<br />What about this weather? Cold, warm, rain, sun, a little bit of everything. The leaves are really starting to fall from the trees but sadly there is no fantastic color display. In Northern VA I would be speechless for a week when the leaves were at full color. Bright orange, red and apricot trees were everywhere. I always thought they looked like the warm glow of lamps in a cozy window. When the leaves began to fall there was this amazing smell everywhere and they would whip around you as you walked down the street like small tornadoes. Even the most mature person is tempted try to catch a handful. I imagined the leaves saying "Oh hello! Happy Fall, always go out in style, I like your scarf, gotta go, in a rush, OK bye!" I bet Fall leaves are fast talkers. I just realized that this is my 100th post. Shoot, I was going to do something fancy. Oh well....Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-13295928813957725732009-10-01T11:15:00.004-04:002009-10-01T15:53:48.097-04:00Blah Blah BlahHere is a little bit of what is going on. Today I have sanded and painted two very large planter boxes that we will use for the plants at the Chickasaw Festival Meeting. It is a pretty big deal and we get to do all of the stage plants and silk arrangements. This place has been filled to the brim with large plants and it has been lovely. I am now working on a few more mums. I really enjoy my job. I think I have said that before.<br /><br />I am working on the house and yesterday I even unpacked a few boxes in the kitchen. It was like shopping but I loved everything and it was within my budget. The day started out very cool and then in the late afternoon it became very warm and muggy so the house felt stuffy. After the sun went down I went out and sat on the porch. A cool night breeze and the faint smell of a fire in the distance made the porch a much better place to be. After about thirty minutes I realized that the only sound I heard were animals and an occasional passing car. No sirens, no planes, no <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">helicopters</span>. There was not the constant hum of the cars on 395. It was so peaceful.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-30056311520620636082009-09-29T17:07:00.003-04:002009-09-29T19:15:59.195-04:00Chicken Sauce and VegetablesThe town I live in is the Capitol of the Chickasaw Nation. The annual Chickasaw Festival is being held this week. It reminds me of a sweet moment when my son was three. My husband was Navy and was deployed to the Mediterranean for six months so we stayed with my parents during that time. I had told my son about the festival and we talked about the Native American culture and I explained that we would be going to the parade and to see all the exhibits the next day. I often videotaped my son and sent his father the tapes with him telling his father about the things we were doing. I was videotaping him and said "Tell daddy where we are going in the morning." my son replied in a cheerful voice "We are going to the chicken sauce and vegetables!!" He is now sixteen and I can remember that little phrase like it was yesterday.Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-24326235665535254282009-09-28T18:30:00.004-04:002009-09-28T21:12:12.904-04:00Fall DecorationsI cannot find any of my fall decorations and it is making me so annoyed. I can picture the box that I packed them in. I have seen them since I got here, so where are they?<br />I looked back at the <a href="http://countrygirlcitychic.blogspot.com/2008/09/fall-decor.html">fall decor post</a> from last year and it makes me so sad. I want to put the fall berry wreath up on my half finished house front door. I want to put out the "poison" candy jar. If you have seen my fall decorations could you buy them a bus ticket home? I will happily send you the money.<br />What a crazy five months it has been. I am ready for a little bit of boring. I appreciate my old apartment more now than ever. Knowing the location of nearly all my things was something I took for granted. I will enjoy finding a place for everything. I will put the seasonal items in neatly labeled boxes and smile every time I look at them. I will do all of this in what I call "future perfect world". I have a lot lined up in my "future perfect world". A lush tiny English type garden hidden in the back of my property, Fall dinners under my big Pecan tree on crisps nights and we will eat butternut squash soup out of pumpkins, an imperfect white picket fence surrounding the front yard with heirloom yellow (drought resistant) roses growing all over it. It all may not happen, but isn't it lovely to think it might?<br />Yesterday, I took off the ugly aluminum screen door and painted the front door before I remembered to take a picture. I keep doing that. How will you know how fantastic the house looks unless you see the before picture?Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-87830594860076924302009-09-21T00:00:00.000-04:002009-09-21T18:48:26.491-04:00Introducing Mr. Weenie B.<div style="text-align: center;">Here he is all healthy and posing <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z-RDIYBfkXo/Srf9jGtXGEI/AAAAAAAAB9Y/wdpecbh1-d4/s1600-h/DSCF4277.JPG"> <img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z-RDIYBfkXo/Srf9jGtXGEI/AAAAAAAAB9Y/wdpecbh1-d4/s400/DSCF4277.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384050659082836034" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is the sweety all sicko<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z-RDIYBfkXo/SpGX5LJ5LGI/AAAAAAAAB84/4yz7SYw8CXo/s1600-h/poorbaby.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Z-RDIYBfkXo/SpGX5LJ5LGI/AAAAAAAAB84/4yz7SYw8CXo/s400/poorbaby.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373242838932335714" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z-RDIYBfkXo/SpGX56uDA9I/AAAAAAAAB9A/twuun6m_bVQ/s1600-h/poorbaby2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z-RDIYBfkXo/SpGX56uDA9I/AAAAAAAAB9A/twuun6m_bVQ/s400/poorbaby2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373242851700442066" border="0" /></a></div></div>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-44160564185753277342009-09-11T22:31:00.008-04:002009-09-12T10:21:53.996-04:00It Just HappensI am blogging along daily and everything is grand, blog ideas come at me like crazy and then I have some big change in my life and my brain just shuts down and goes into survival mode. This time has been of all things a puppy. Yes a little dachshund has entered my life. He found me, I swear.<br /><br />I was driving back from a lovely afternoon of walking around Lowes (that would be a grand time to me these days, Starbucks and Lowes...Woot!) I am driving through a little town and this thing runs straight at my car and I can tell it has no sense at all. People let their dogs wander around here all the time and I never stop, but this time it was different. I stop in the middle of the highway and put on my flashers hoping I am not killed by a semi while trying to save this little beast. He runs under my car and I call him, "Puppy!, Puppy!" I scoop him up and set him in my passenger seat and drive to the side of the road. I see him and think, he is a darling dog someone has to be missing him. I go to the local convenience store and give them my name and number and they take his picture and then I leave...<br /><br />I get to my town and begin to really look at him. He is a very sad creature. Skin and bones, covered in ticks and fleas, ear mites, uncut nails, and I bet he has worms (he had worms). I decide that he found me and that he needed a good home. My home, I guess. I am a dachshund person which makes everything even more weird. Is there a list for Dachshund puppies that name all of the people that might want them? Do they have some type of Ontstar that notified him that I would be driving in that exact location at that precise time? I wonder, but then I realize that he did not learn to fetch or sit when I met him so I think he might have lucked out or he had friends helping him out. I really have no idea. Anyway it goes, he is here to stay. I named him <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/39/75002206_5964d882a8.jpg">Weenie Beenie</a> after a hot dog place near my old work. I call him Weenie B. pictures are soon to follow.<br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span class="on" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span>Alihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07948807741317969065noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342699775100266982.post-89829112052440858052009-08-19T18:17:00.002-04:002009-08-19T18:27:19.740-04:00Remember The Rain BootsIt has not rained once since I got them.
