FOTC Friday and Recipe Vote

Since I spent so much time on my soy post, today's is gonna be short, sweet, and to the point.

Flight of the Conchords "If that's what you're in to"
[NOT appropriate for the kiddies- but hilarious, as usual]



Hahaha, ok now that's out of the way :] This week's recipe vote!

Breads :]
1. White Amish Bread [perfect for the amish butter I got this week, YUM!]
2. Black Olive Foccacia
3. Green Irish Soda Bread [...ok, it's not really green, but there was a theme going with the colors, lol]


The workouts are starting to get tangible, and I can feel the difference in my body, but I'm gaining weight? Ugh... Anywho, I have a consultation with my chiropractor on Monday to see what I can do about my diet...though I'm not sure I'm doing anything wrong. Frustrating.

Tomorrow's post will be all about Lily's booty...well, diapers anyway ;]

FOTC Friday and Recipe Vote

Still a lot going on here.
Today I drove Eamon to work, then started to drive to Plano to show some flowers to a shop there. Halfway there, I figure I should give her a call, just in case. She says she's interested but today isn't good...so I turn around.
I get to Southlake and try to sell to a few of those fancy shmancy baby boutiques there. The all want those tacky silk flowers with rhinestone centers. Every last one of them. It's so stupid. I felt super discouraged on the way home. However, once I did get here, I found that I sold some flowers this morning on Etsy, so that was great.

Last night something that I have been contemplating over for a long time laid really heavy on my heart. There is a passion that I have that I think needs to be put in to action. I'm afraid that I may be "unqualified" or something else. But I feel so in love with this, that I hope it's one of the desires that the Lord has placed on my heart for a reason.
I started working a little on that today... I sent an email to one of my friends who already does this asking her if she would mind if I started to. I hope she says no. The next step would then be to talk to a wonderful couple to see if they would be interested in helping me out. I really hope it works... But untill I get a definitive answer, I can't really talk about what "it" is. So, stay tuned I guess...

This definately has cheared me up though :]

 First and foremost,
one of the two [overdue!] friends I have been waiting on to have her baby [both surprises!] had her TEN POUND, NINE OUNCE baby boy this morning at home! could not be more excited! I woke up in little intervals all night and this morning to keep praying for her, and to find out she did SO great is just so awesome! Congrats Scott and Kate!
[Stephanie, you're next!]

Ok, so I've decided to add a new feature on Fridays. Flight of the Conchords Friday's. Flight of the Conchords are a hilarious comedy troupe from New Zealand that have a show on HBO. We rented it on Netflix and have seen all of season one and can't wait for season one to come out. SO every friday, I'll try to post something related to them, until I run out of material!

Last on the agenda this morning, recipes :]
I want to know what you wanna see on the blog this Sunday. Here are the three contenders for this week:
1. My Hummus recipe [waaaay better than that Saba crap]
2. my Chewy chocolate chip recipe
3. My Spank-a-pita [formally Spanikopita] recipe

leave me a note in the comment section and see if your recipe wins!
Voting open til Sunday morning, and the losers will get a second chance in weeks to come!


and now the always hilarious, mildly inappropriate, oddly attractive
