New BABY!!

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to... Nope, don’t have this! Never will…

something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour... Nope, but I have a lot (enough) clothes

a youth she's content to leave behind.... absolutely!

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age.... definitely

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black bra... Uh, Yeah!

one friend who always makes her laugh ... and one who lets her cry... Josilyn and my Mom or Dad

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family... I don’t think I own a piece of furniture that was orned by my family….Oh Diesel’s couch. (Diesel is my dog.!)

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored... I have this covered minus the wine glasses – I don’t drink wine and even if my guests want to, I can provide a “cup” or two.

a feeling of control over her destiny… I’m working on it…I believe it’s up to God – if I do what he wants me to!

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…….

how to fall in love without losing herself…. Done that….my poor husband! J

how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship.. I have accomplished each of these things……MANY TIMES!

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY... Hmmm! Like for instance….??

that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents.. Oh but she’ll try….the nature of my parents mustn’t change! EVER! I love them!

that her childhood may not have been perfect...but its over... Sadly it is, and I vouch that it WAS perfect. I lived, I loved, I enjoyed every minute. I was treated very well! (minus the fact that I still haven’t been to Disneyland:)

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more... Oh I do

how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...  Unfortunately I know how to live alone – well with Linkin for short periods of time at least  {smile}

whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally... Should I name names?

where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table...or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing... Josilyn, can I come to your table?

what she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month...and a year... I haven’t learned this yet

My friend Mikelle gave birth to a new baby boy on July 26th. 6lbs 6 oz! How exciting!!! He looks JUST like his Dad. Look at all that hair! So fun!!

So I'm putting this at the very bottom because I know it's getting REALLY old but tonight I found the cutest little toad ever! He's the smallest one I've seen yet! Here's a few fun pictures of him. He was exciting!
What a sweet little guy, no? I just can't believe he was about the same size as a penny!! Crazy! I wonder if he's still a tadpole. Kidding. Oh notice the picture of him and the penny in my palm that there is a strain of pee up on my fingers. Yeah they pee a lot when you pick em up. Someone correct if I'm wrong. It may not be pee but some form of fighter liquid. ha ha ha! Cute guy. He's back in the wild. Hopefully safe. Because last night I was driving home from the store at night after a major storm and I almost ran over the hugest toad. I stopped and got out to look and saw him hopping along the street so I was happy again. Then I paid more attention as I continued to drive and noticed toads all over the place on the side of the road. Just frolicking around in the puddles. Then I pulled into our neighborhood and SMASH! There was a HUGE dead toad splattered in the road. I felt ILL! I made the mistake of stopping and rolling down my window for a better look. Not a good vision to have in your mind. I wanna throw up thinking about it.
I decided to start adding to my cooking site some more so tomorrow I will post a fabulous eggs benedict that I made tonight. If you are fans of eggs benedict (not many people that I know are...) then you will delight in this. Super easy and SUPER good! I loved it thoroughly. In fact my belly STILL feels full and we ate at 6:30. Wow that's unusual for me.
And my final subject tonight. I BARELY discovered that you can buy LORNA DOONE'S Shortbread cookies at the store (at least at our store). These are the cookies I enjoyed while staying in the hospital after having Linkin. Oh my they are sooo addicting and SOo good! Anytime of anyday! You should eat them. :) No I don't work for their company advertising. {smile}

Well, considering I don't have a kitchen table--you're out of luck. LOL! Eventually soon ,eh? That's awesome you have toads, I can't believe you hold them. They would creep me out, but I'm a wuss.

So, at the top of this it says "New Baby"... what are you implying? Or was this when you had Mikelle's slide show of her and Brock? Totally random, but I noticed that, and was like "what?!?"
