When You Can't Sleep? ...Bake

Recently I have been suffering a bout of odd sleeping....I'm tired I just can't sleep. Then I fall asleep after a day or two of catnaps and sleep for 12 hours. It has mostly affected my life in a bad way, I am driving my family nuts and myself too.

On a recent sleepless night I remembered that my dad brought me strawberries and they were probably almost rotten. So what's a sleepless girl to do? BAKE!!!

I made this pie from Martha Stewart's website. It is a strawberry pie. It calls for 1 lb of strawberries but I was only able to salvage 1/2 lb from mine so I added 1/2 lb of blueberries. YUMMY!!!!!

Feeling the Itch

I am sooooooo looking forward to being in this place for three glorious weeks! As an added bonus Derrick will celebrate his birthday there and we have family coming to see the place for the first time.

You're Never Too Old to Need Your Mom

The other week I had to undergo a surgical procedure, and I was very nervous about the whole thing. My husband took me in for the surgery and was very supportive and had me calmish by the time I went into the OR.
Upon being released from the hospital my mom took over my care. She was so wonderful to come here for 2 weeks and cook and clean and care for my zoo! I could have never rested and gotten well without the reassurance that she had everything under control.

My Mom is AWESOME! I hope if my adult children ever need me I can be there for them like she is for me.

2011

Ended 2010 the same way it started, enjoying food and drinks with family and friends. My plan is to sit down this evening and make a list of things I'd like to accomplish this year. Looking ahead I see busy times! Some things thing I know will appear on my to do list is to blog more, get and stay organized, continue with our healthy eating plan and to exercise more. I also want to spend more time with family and friends so I am planning to host dinner parties every other month, starting at the end of January. It won't be anything elaborate as long as we have warm hearts and good conversation. I also have plans to have career coaching to help jump start my real estate business, looking forward to this for sure.

So stay turned....This is gonna be my Year!
