Broiled Grapefruit Recipe

My obssession with red grapefruit continues. Although it is hotter than you-know-what around here, this is a yummy variation on plain grapefruit segments.
from recipezaar

1 pink grapefruit
1 tablespoon brown sugar

1Cut grapefruit in half (midway between the stem-end and the dot on the opposite end).

2Sprinkle brown sugar over grapefruit sections, using more or less as desired.

Grapefruit can be eaten as is, or broiled.

To broil, put halves sugar-side up on a cookie sheet in the oven and set oven on broil for a few minutes.
The brown sugar should melt and start to get crispy.
Eat immediately by spooning out the half-sections of grapefruit.

I'm not sure if this could help you avoid a colon cleanser, but I know that it tastes like candy.

Memories

I was going through some pic albums on the computer and found this one from winter time. The kids and Chris and I had just finished watching my nephews debut as a varsity basketball player, although he is only a freshman. At our old high school. We went to Taco Bell drive through. While we were waiting I took this picture. High school basketball, family and Taco Bell drive through with snow on the ground and frost on the windows. That's happiness.
I'll need some more ram in my mind as well as in my computer if my nephew plays varsity again this year. Can't get enough of a happy situation.

The Brilliance of Winnie the Pooh

If there is ever a tomorrow when we're not together . . . there is something you must always remember.  You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart . . . I'll always be with you. 

Sex and the City

Yesterday one of my best friends had her birthday. She invited a group of girlfriends to go see the matinee of SATC. What a perfect idea.
I was nervous about seeing the movie as I loved the series. I had also read some blog reviews that weren't too kind. I should not have worried!
I loved it. You laugh, you cry, you repeat. What a movie roller coaster. And as long as there were beautiful clothes and outfits to drool over, it would be worth the time and money. There was no shortage of high fashion. I wasn't looking for luxury watches, just out of this world clothes.

When I'm myself and not a sniveling, walking and talking embodiment of hormones, I do not cry at movies in the theatre. It has something that has worried me in the past, like I was defective or something, but no more. I soaked through kleenexes like there was a flood.
I'm buying it when it comes out to dvd. Heck, I might go see it again. One of these days I will make it to Fashion week!

Happy Summer!

Here are my two beautiful daughters enjoying a beautiful summer day. I hope you girls are all enjoying summer too.

HELLO ALL

Thank you girls so much for welcoming me to your blog ring. 

I spent a good chunk of time last night updating our new family blog with the latest and greatest on our fam. 

The very short version is I am married to Blake - who works in construction/fencing and is a musician. We have a beautiful little girl who teaches me more every day about grace, patience, a pure imagination and unconditional love. We are dog people! We have three. Samson, Joplin and Cash. We'll probably have more as time passes. 

Well....that's the short of it. I'll try and spend some time in the coming weeks reading posts and such to acciamate myself with this a little more so please forgive me if my posts are a little goofy at first. 

As my sweet Kelly told you, you can visit us at okiedokey.wordpress.com

ENJOY and Happy Thursday!! 

A New Blogger

I have a wonderful friend at the office named Angela. She saw the mini-calendar on my desk and started asking questions. When I told her about you guys, she wanted to join in! :) I helped her set up a blog, and I added her to our blogring here.

The two posts on her blog right now are test ones that I put up for her, but you can still have a look see and say hi. There is a picture of her daughter Layla eating a piece of the peanut butter and chocolate pie that I made a month or so back. :) LOL! It's an adorable picture of an adorable little girl.

So go over to her site and say hi! She's got a lot of things to share about new happenings in her life, but I'll save those for her to tell. :)
