1.What were you doing ten years ago? I was at The University of Texas finishing up the second semester of my sophomore year. I had just broken up with my highschool sweetheart about a month ago. Thanks to that, I was a TON (literally I think) thinner than I am now. Ahhh - the good ole days. I was learning how to be a single college woman!

2. What are five things on your to-do list?
1. Finish/start Christmas shopping
2. Laundry
3. Shop for Thanksgiving
4. Decorate for Christmas
5. Pack to go to Houston to have this baby!

3. What are snacks you enjoy? Too many to name - I especially love french fries, flavored coffee creamer, candy, chocolate, and ice cream!! Mmmmmmm .... and thanks to the lovely DASH - something fresh.

4. What are the places you have lived? Nebraska; Cali; Kingwood,TX; Kentucky, Austin,TX; Germany; Oklahoma; and Utah

5. What are five things you would do if you became a billionaire:
1. Build our dream house
2. Pay off the student loans
3. Vacation, vacation, vacation
4. Hook the fam up with some extra cash
5. Donate - anything with kids and reading; helping women

Now, I tag Judith and Steph. Copy the questions, and post your answers, ladies!!

FYI

Thanksgiving needs to be celebrated by all - even in utero. Baby diet will resume as soon as all green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pie is gone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Aside from September 15, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! What could be better, family, friends, and amazing food!! Do you know what makes Thanksgiving extraordinary? An excuse to eat:



And especially made into:



Jusband needed some for his early Thanksgiving celebration (Lucky! That's the only downfall of living so far from family - only one Thanksgiving around here). He picked up the supplies so I could make it nice and fresh for all his work friends. Except he bought cream of mushroom soup ... ROASTED GARLIC. Don't get me wrong, I love garlic probably more than French's Fried Onions, but I am glad that dish went to work with him!

But at least we know for next Thursday.

Done, done, and done

Lion, Talon and I have all been vaccinated against the swine! I am just hoping and praying that it won't adversly affect Benton Baby #3!!

The Glorified Cheese Grater ROCKS!

Awhile back - May - I was debating whether or not to go with the PedEgg . I, of course, procrastinated all summer long and finally, moving into November, broke down and made the purchase. Acutally my jusband did ... guess that says something about my feet, right?

I just have to say that it is FAN TAS TIC or TAN FAS TIC (love you Whitters!). My heels have never been better and the price was right. Although I did miss out on the fabulous foot/calf massage that usually comes with a pedicure.

A picture is worth a thousand words

mostly because I have NO idea what to say about this.

Can you name the superheroes?

This is some art work from one of my favorite artists!






I am Wonder Woman, so these artist renderings of some of my favorite pals are spot on! Can you name the superheroes?

REWIND

Yesterday Lion had the day off from school, which would have been nice, except my head hurt so bad I couldn't see straight. He and Talon spent the day catching up on a 9 weeks worth of day time television that they had both been missing out on. While they were watching some thing I DVRd because you know I can't have the watching YoGabbaGabba or Barney, Talon tried to fastfoward the commercials. After Talon stopped, started and almost deleted the show, Lion quickly grabbed the remote. Lion decided to give his little brother a remote lesson. He said - this button is for play, this button is to fastforward, and this button fastforwards backwards. HA! They crack me up!
