Deep thoughts on a Friday, it can be done.

It’s always funny to me to come across someone’s blog and my blog name is in there.  SOUNDS LIKE TOMATOES.  It kind of sounds like an Indian name, doesn’t it?  Can’t you just picture me walking through an Indian camp, a fellow Indian calls over, “Sounds Like Tomatoes, go help skin that buffalo.” 
Maybe this is [...]

Tagged like a kid at recess

One of my new blogging-buddies has tagged me with a blog award! It’s called:

 
If you’re like me, you’re kind of cringing at the misspelling. 
Anyways, so because I’ve been tagged, I need to share with you six things about myself and then tag six other bloggers with this groovy misspelled award who I think are creative.  Then [...]

YES! I am number one!

This morning, my buddy Winn sent me some excellent news.  I am number one.  I’m not really sure what I’m number one of, but the important thing is that I am number one.  Have I told you I’m number one? 
She even took the time to make me a picture. 
 
It’s nice to be number one.

The Power, I am drunk with it

So last week, I issued a Bacon Brownie Challenge.  I seriously did not expect any takers.  I thought that I would have to break down and make the durn things myself.  But thanks to my good buddy, Sean, I shall not need to. 
Here is Sean’s report:
Bacon Brownie Update.
Like the Little Red Hen, I bought the [...]

3/4 Sickness

I have a condition.  A malady.  It could be a disease, although I don’t want to visit a professional to find out.  I call it “3/4 Sickness”.  What is this scary sounding affliction, you ask?  It has to do with crafting.
Let me explain. 
See, I like to do crafts and such.  I like to sew.  I [...]

A glimpse into my real life

The work day has just ended.  I am walking out of the back door of my office building, next door a woman is leaving her building.  We are heading to our cars in the parking lot.
ME:  Hey!  How ya doing?
LADY:  Fine, thanks.
ME:  The ladies at my work tell me that every time they see you [...]

For you bacon freaks out there

My husband thinks there should be a new diet that contains the magic ingredient, bacon.  I buy turkey bacon mostly, because it’s healthier.  It’s my way of negating all my calories from eating cake and peanut butter cups.  If only turkey bacon didn’t taste like eating an eraser. 
Anyways, I stumbled across this awesome recipe for [...]

The English are coming! The English are coming!

Last Friday, Emma, Ginger (my mother in law) and I all went with Emma’s 1st grade class to see the Amish in Tennessee.  Along the way, Emma confidently informed us that she thought we were half Amish, because we used to live in Tennessee. 
We arrived in Ethridge and, along with the rest of Emma’s class, [...]

Stickers

Spending yesterday home with my youngest kiddo who was sick was a glimpse into my distant life as a stay at home mom.  It was weird, reliving those days of not really looking at the clock, the days of no computers…just me and the kid.
But that’s not what I want to talk about today.  I [...]

“The futility of beauty” – thoughts from a cosmetically challenged woman

Sometimes I get to thinking about the futility of beauty.  I know, such heavy thoughts for 9:00 in the morning when I should be doing something productive like shredding paper. 
What started this think-fest was when I whipped out my handy dandy nail clippers and attempted to hack away at the talons that grow like weeds [...]
