She Who is a Little Excited About This New Endeavor

One of my sisters-in-law is celebrating her birthday this week. I’ll refrain from telling you her age to preserve my own well-being. But I will say she is the same age as my second brother who is two years younger than my oldest brother who is twenty years younger than my dad who is 40 years older than me.
Got all that? Great!
Anyhoo… the point of all my rambling this morning is to share a link to a fun cookbook I purchased for Debbie’s birthday.
The Cowgirl’s Cookbook by Jill Charlotte Stanford is a great little cookbook especially if you are into cowboy or western lore. That would be the reason I purchased it for my sister-in-law in the first place. You can find the book at Amazon for $9.95.
In addition to some really fun recipes, Stanford has awsome quotes, tidbits of information and stories about cowgirls on each page. There are also a bunch of great photos included.
If you know someone who likes western memorabilia, collects cookbooks or is into the history of the women of the west, this would be an excellent gift.
She Who Is Now Oddly Craving a Cold Sasparilla

It’s National Chocolate Milk Day!
Woohoo!
As completely insane as this is going to sound, I’m not a big chocolate milk fan as far as drinking it straight up from the carton.
But I do love chocolate milkshakes.
And chocolate milk frozen in a cup (and a popsicle stick or spoon and you’ve got your own fudgesicle).
And poured over Nilla wafers (don’t ask, just try it!).
How do you like your chocolate milk?
Enjoy some today – it does a body good!

Yesterday was one of those days. You know the type… when you wonder why you ever bothered to drag your sorry self out of bed because that was the beginning of the descent into non-stop not-fun drama.
Ever have one of those days?
Phew… I’m glad there are a few hands raised out there.
My day started with me trying to gather up all the trappings I feel necessary to drag out the door with me on my way to work. In juggling the plunder, I inadvertently hit the panic button on my key chain which set my car alarm blaring at the early morning hour of barely after 7. I’m sure my neighbors and their out-of-town guests were thrilled for that rude awakening. Especially when it went on for goodness only knows how long because I couldn’t hear it until I actually opened the door and stepped outside. Sorry, Jennifer!
Arriving at work, I found my computer had been attacked by evil trolls and refused to boot up. I think it is the same set of ruthless, wicked minions who have invaded the phone line at work. So there I sat with no computer or phone which is pretty much like tying my hands and putting a blindfold on me for the day. Which was a great way to train a new assistant. The village idiot has got nothing on me considering my discombobulated state yesterday. The poor girl will probably turn tail and run while the running is good.
After blundering through the day by playing musical computers, and not getting half as much done as I had on my to-do list, I arrived home only to find Captain Cavedweller had his own disastrous day. To top it off, he pulled in the driveway to find our garage door wide open (evil trolls are on the move, I tell you!) and an army of the tiniest ants I’ve ever seen swarming over our kitchen counter. Thankfully, they had not yet found my stash of peanut M&Ms.
Ah, so there was the bright spot in the day. My M&MS made it through unscathed.
She Who is Glad Yesterday is Finished and Done!
