In Praise of Butter

Butter makes me happy. So simple, so plain... yet it gives so much joy. Is there anything butter can't do?

Side note: If you stare long enough at the slice of bread in the photo you can make out the face of frosty the snowman (or the Kool-Aid Man... not sure which).

I'm Back, Baby!

I know , I know! Too long between posts. Here are my top excuses for not posting in such a long time. Feel free to add your own as well.

1. The sun was in my eyes.
2. My dog ate my blog.
3. I didn't know it was against the law.
4. All the other kids weren't doing their posts.
5. I tripped and fell.
6. I have post-partum depression.
7. I got lost on the way to my computer.
8. I have been held captive by Al-Qaeda.
9. It's that time of the month.
10. Stranded in the Alabama Blizzard of 2006

Redneck Christmas

Christmas with my Mom and 3 brothers always comes the week after. So we exchanged gifts Dec. 31st at my brother Tim's house out in the country. (that's him in the photo)

You might be experiencing a redneck Christmas if it is possible to have fresh goat meat on the holiday menu.

BTW- No goats were harmed in the posting of this blog. ... and .... No glue guns or glue sticks were given as gifts this year. (socks, DVD, and some money... thanks, Mom)

Happy New Year!
