Books. My collection of all things Donald Duck probably comes in second.

I usually use them twice but the second time around I add an additional scoop of grounds on top.

I think Christmas might just have been yesterday and I now have the prettiest,sparkliest rock on my left hand. {I love you,darlin}

HeH. Mine isn't so much a disaster as it is just flat out funny. I contemplated telling about mine or my sisters. I will save sisters for another day although I believe hers is way funnier than mine. I have an incredibly yummy recipe for a spinach and cheese dish that calls for Bisquick. I assembled the dish, baked it and served it for lunch. Did I mention that the X's family was over that day?? HA! Dinner went off fine. It was a hit. Later that evening I asked the X if the spinach dish tasted okay to him because I thought it didn't taste quite the way it usually did. He said he thought it had a slightly sweet taste to the crust and wondered if I had added some sugar to it. Nope. No sugar. I didn't know what it was until days later when I went to make breakfast. I discovered that I hadn't used Bisquick for the crust but rather had used pancake mix. bwahahaha! Once I open a box of mix such as the above I usually repackage it into a tupperware container to discourage bug infestation. I grabbed the pancake mix container rather than the bisquick. How? NO idea since the recipe for the pancake mix was written in my handwriting in black sharpie ON the pancake mix tupper lid. HA! So. If you ever have dinner at my house and the spinach cheese dish is slightly sweet...Well...Just be kind. My blonde intentions are always honorable. ;-)

When was the last time you bought new shoes? Did you plan to buy them or did they catch your eye and you just had to have them? What do they look like?

I bought my last new pair of shoes a few weeks ago when I was out looking for pink luggage. I saw a cute kicky little pair of black flats that looked perfect for a casual shoe and also for a plane trip. They have a strap that crosses over, loops through and velcros on the other side. Perfect for slipping off and on easily at Security as well as on the plane. That being said, the cute shoes did not enhance the plane ride whatsoever. {honey, can you just drive me back home?? ;-)}

I buy black loafers. When they get old, I buy another pair. I have several pair to bring to the cobbler once I find one to replace the soles. But when did I buy my last pair? How the heck do I remember that? They all look the same!

not having enough of a fire to make pizzas on the grill. I start by toasting the dough over a wood fire. We don't have hardwood for good coals here so it takes a lot of fire to build a good bed. Didn't have it. took forever to toast the bread.

about a year ago. I got them because I discovered they were on sale. They have the Vikings colors on them. After many years of sacrificing with walmart bargain basement knock offs it felt really good to get decent shoes on my feet. They are RBK's
