Fortune Cookie...

Fact:
a good Chinese Buffet can "hit the spot" and quench your hunger in a way no other buffet or fine food establishment can.

Question:
is it because of the food, the freedom to eat as much as you like for one low price, dirty as many plates as you possibly can or is it the anticipation that at the end of the meal you will receive a cookie which contains your fortune??

I believe it is the fortune...as of yesterday I received the greatest one of all:

"You are the master of every situation."

What better fortune or better yet- destiny! can you possibly desire?! And yes, of course, I licked it and stuck it on my forehead to proudly display and gloat to my husband... and many others who passed by us.

I bought a FAT maker...

(Yes, I'm having a bit of a blog identity crisis...but I'm overcoming it. I have been less than satisfied with my backgrounds lately so I'm changing...again. I think I like what I have right now...I'm sure some of you do also. The previous pink was a little too much!)

So you are thinking "what does she mean by 'FAT maker'?" Since we live in America and better yet the great state of Mississippi it could mean many different things like: Stock in McDonald's, broken exercise equipment, or a baking cook book with lots of pictures. In actuality it means I bought a "Bread Maker"!!

That's right, now your saying to yourself as your mouth waters "ohhh, yup I hid mine and told my husband I lost it after our first year of marriage and 10 extra pounds later." We are expecting a slight weight gain. We feel the savory aroma and taste of hot fresh bread is worth the price of larger love handles! So far I have been rather successful with the loaves (thanks to my friend Amy) only one bad loaf out of about 7.

I think I may post some before and after pictures of Johnathon and I in about a month or two and we can compare what level of damage the Fat maker has caused.

Chow for now!

Its official we are.....

....the anticipation of those 4 little words.....

We Are Cable Free!!

You can get off the edge of your seat and scoot back now. I know what all you readers were thinking...those 4 words that end in BABY! For your benefit; however, maybe now that we don't have cable and we are spending more time with each other, staring into one another's eyes over dinner rather than the TV you just might get what you wish...

Anyways, I'll keep it PG...No cable has been wonderful...did I mention no internet too!! That's right, other than our cell phones at home we are cut off from society and the rest of the world. We have discussed branching out and getting the news paper...we shall see.

Now for those of you who are concerned about season 7 of American Idol I'll have you know I have thought long and hard about this...I will just have to go to my mom's to watch it or if you live near by you can invite me over and I will bring food.

We are reading more, praying more, actually doing the laundry and mopping the floors! Amazing, I know! Our toilet has never shined so bright!

So good-bye giant magnet of time wasting...you no longer have a hold on us!!
