Peanut Pie
My father is from the south, Georgia to be exact. A place where three things are king when it comes to food, watermelon, rice and peanuts. I love watermelon and rice, I hate peanuts. Two out of three ain't bad. But because I know peanuts are relatively cheap I made sure my kids would love the ground nut. Today I will provide you with a recipe I have kept in my head for years. Let me say this recipe would be delicious with some dark chocolate ice cream, do not try to watch your weight with this one.
Ingredients:
Serve warm with chocolate ice cream.

SALE!
Advanced orders for Christmas are now on sale at my two websites, http://www.donotdisturb.etsy.com and http://www.tutusuite.etsy.com see websites for details.
Husband wanted
Okay, so I used to find it charming that my husband had NOOOOO clue how to fix anything. But now I just find it really frustrating. I mean he knows how to hang dry wall, better than most professionals, and he can fix the fiberglass on his surfboard...but that is the extent of his "man knowledge". My father had no clue either but he would try, after 37 years of marriage he can do just about anything, but Jefferson, what can I say, if something breaks he will just walk out of the room, he won't even tell me until I encounter the offending object myself, WHAAAT?
So the toilet in his bathroom broke....the bathroom I remodeled....it hasn't flushed right for 2 weeks. I won't call a plumber because Jefferson spent $800 on playoff tickets. I REFUSE to pay a plumber. So what does he do????NOTHING, he didn't even plunge the toilet, I did. He wouldn't snake it I did. When nothing worked he just came back to my bathroom. The plumber told me the next time this happened it would cost me $400, because he would remove the toilet. WHAT!!!! $350 to remove the toilet, haha, for 3 screws really? So I went to the bathroom and remove the toilet screws then I had to wait for him to come pick up the toilet, then he asked me to help!!!! UGHHH can you tell how frustrated I am/was. Then he gets mad at me because Iwas testy, and abrupt, does he not understand that yes, I am/was a tomboy, I had 2 bothers, no sisters and I have had to fight others my entire life so yes there is this masculine side of me....but I am SICK of being the one to fix everything.....I have a running joke that every time something in my home breaks that I strap on my "member" and get to work (Don't be alarmed I have the sense God gave me to keep this to myself)!
WANTED: Husband that isn't afraid to try to fix something, anything, including dinner! Will jump right in when a child cries in the middle of the night, comes up with great solutions for night waking, sleep walking, and puberty!
Doesn't think dishwater is battery acid, willing to grocery shop and STAY IN THE BUDGET, if fact must know that his budget allows him to shop at Ralph's and Albertson's, not Wholefoods and Gelson's. Knows which end of the toilet brush goes into the toilet, in fact must know what goes in the toilet and what goes around it! AND just like the current model must LOVE laundry, but unlike the current model must be able to put it away!
Necessary qualifications: MUST BE MUTE!
This position does not include sex, no benefits at all!

A little about me
This is from my other blog, it might help you to understand me better. Yesterday I was really feeling the need to run away. I have been major stressed, working on a publication, dealing with serious PMS ( I experience some serious irritability to the point that if I was my client I might medicate or hospitalize ; ) and just having some doubts....For those of you who are Christian, I have been under serious spiritual attack, for those who are not life has sucked a bit in the last few days. At any rate I did run away sort of, I went to visit a girlfriend who herself is going through some stuff, it really put things into perspective for me. she has absolutely no support right now, going through a divorce, opening a new business, etc. It helped to be alone with her (I like to think it helped us both). It helps to talk to someone who doesn't think that motherhood is the greatest thing she will ever accomplish. Certainly motherhood, and marriage are some of the greatest gifts God has ever brought me, but sometimes it helps to be able to spill the beans that this is probably the WORST job I have ever had. I swear if I worked on the open market and there was this much whining and complaining, and CRAP to clean up I would quit! This is not the first blog I have written that tells it like it is but it is the first one I have put my name on, LOL. Certainly for me anyway, the fruits of my labor are some of the most talented, self-assured, loving and empathetic individuals you would ever meet, the level of communication in our house surpasses that of many households (hence the whining and complaining, where else can you feel that safe!). But good God sometimes I want to scream. At any rate, I can feel my hormone level dropping and today I am less likely to beat you up if you tick me off, so I wanted to leave you with this......Don't ever feel guilty if you don't seem to enjoy the job as much as everyone else, I'm good at it, I just don't always care for it. It is okay to enjoy your own company, and to say it out loud! It is okay to enjoy the company of others and if it helps to pretend to be somebody else. My relationship with God puts it all into perspective.....I know he loves my but I bet sometimes he gets sick of me too (and my whining and complaining, LOL).
Swankified!
For those of you who have seen the musical wicked, you must know that word. swankified is what Carter did ti my dining living room area. Shear genius that talented group of carpenters, I love it, and them. I can't post pictures here but I will say it is wonderful. You will have to tune in to the show to see the handywork..

Mixed Messages
The title is the only thing I could think of to describe my perspective. I love to cook, sew, craft and create. I love to read to write to travel and to eat. I also love all of those things to be different, unique and luxurious baby! So what better way to describe my crazy mixed up style but to call it mixed messages. Check out my Etsy store, http://www.donotdisturb.etsy.com an Eclectic collection of luxury items, I am currently having a Sale on holiday pre-orders. My kids also have a sister store, http://www.tutusuite.etsy.com, I guess they have caught the designing and creativity bug from mama!
Today I am getting ready to redesign my living room. A popular television show is redesigning it for me I should say. They are dropping off the paint this afternoon and I am scared to death! What if they do the room in purple, I hate purple. What if its royal blue....Lord what have I done????? Well I will post before and after pictures here for all to see and critique also stayed tuned as to when the show airs on HGTV.
See you tomorrow with a great no - cook pasta sauce recipe !
