Month: August 2005

I have yet to make this but I can not wait until I do. The sound delicious. When I make them I will be sure to take pictures and post them for you all to see.

Oreo Muffins
1 3/4 Cups Flour
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 Cup Cold Margarine or Butter
1 Egg
16 Oreo Cookies, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix flour, sugar baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in margarine (or butter) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Beat egg and mil with wire whisk until well blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Gently stir in chopped cookies. Spoon evenly into 12 greased or paper-lined medium muffin cups.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Last night we had to go to walmart after Raven’s soccer practice to get 2 new back tires on the car. The old tires tread where completely wore off, the wire was almost showing! We didn’t get home until after 9 pm last night.

My stomach was so upset last night and it seems as if it still is. I think I might have a cold. My stomach is upset, my throat is dry and scratching, my nose is a little sniffy and my left ear is starting to hurt. I don’t get the sniffles, I get very bad colds that last for like 3 weeks at a time. I think I have a bad immune system.

The other day on Connected Coast to Coast (on MSNBC) Ron Reagan (whom I think just might be the anti-christ) was talking about the new Dukes of Hazzard movie and asking his guest if the daisy dukes shorts are going to be coming back in style. He then went on to say that if they do there should be an age and weight limit to them like nobody over 30 and over 140 pounds should be able to wear them. When he said that I wanted to reach through my television screen and smack him silly. What a jackass! If a skinny girl can show the whole world her crotch while walking down the road then so should a 400 pound grandma. This is suppose to be a free country no matter what size and age you are! And if Ron Reagan can continue to poison this society with his mindless dribble then overweight and over the hill women can continue to show off all there goods wither he likes it or not! So Ron Reagan go fuck yourself!

Well, I can honestly say that there is actually nothing for me to blog about today. I have 4 ebay auctions ending today with no bids 🙁 I am thinking about converting my domain (www.4everlasting.com) to a store for me to sell lingerie. I don’t know if I will or not. That would mean another business to add on to the 3 others we all ready have. Gives me something to think about. I need to make some money for Christmas, there is all kinds of things I want to get but I don’t want to use “our” money for Mike’s Christmas gifts. And I want to get my mom a tv with a vcr/dvd combo for her bedroom. That way she can watch tv in there without bothering my Nan. I think she would really like that.

I am working on some designs again. I don’t have them up yet but I will soon. Maybe I will try to sell some premade designs for like $10 each. Gives me something else to think about.

I think it is going to be time for a layout change soon.

Well look at that, I did find somethings to blog about.

I have some stuff going on right now and I really didn’t / don’t feel like blogging but here I am anyways. I watched Sin City the other night and then The Jacket last night. I liked Sin City better then the Jacket but they are both good movies. The best part about The Jacket was Adrien Brody. Raven starts school this Friday. We still haven’t got her a new pair of shoes for school. She can’t seem to find a pair that she likes.

For Halloween Raven wants to be Darth Vader. Yes, yes she is all ready planning for Halloween. Anywho, I found this great costume for London that will match Raven’s wonderfully.

It’s a Yoda costume! I think he will look so darn cute in it and will make a great Halloween photo for this year. For the past 3 years I have been dressing London up for Halloween and then I take his and Raven Halloween picture together. The first year he was Goofy and Raven was a Fairy, in 2004 he was a cat and Raven was a witch and this year Raven’s going to be Darth Vader and he will be Yoda! I think it will look great!

I think I got the problem with my site fixed, hopefully. Mike started his part time job at Toys R Us. He is working in the electronic section which he is happy about. Hopefully he has a good first day. I mess him all ready!

Well, my new glasses are still messed up. I can see better out of my old pair then with the new ones. So I called Sterling Optical and talk to someone there and had it out with her. Now they are saying that it might be the material that the lenses are made and that my eyes might not ever get use to them. So I am suppose to bring them back in so they can see what type of material is in my new lenses and my old lenses. And get my eyes rechecked by the doctor. Come on people! This will be the 3rd time he has examined my eyes in a month if he couldn’t get my prescription right the first time then more then likely he anit gonna be able to get it right this time. And I can not get a refund or even store credit. They can continue to string me along for a year and then I am screwed. So I have a $470 piece of crap glasses that I can not use. Looks like we are just gonna have to eat the lose.

Our monitor still hadn’t come in yet and it has been way over 10 days so I called up the company and talked to them. Come to find out that they forgot to put the order in! So we have to wait another 10 days for the monitor to arrive. If they remember to order and ship it out.

The guy from Window World came today to measure the windows. We are getting 6 windows put in. The 2 in the living room, 2 in the downstairs bedroom. 1 in our bedroom upstairs and 1 in Raven’s room upstairs. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks for the windows to come in. I can not wait! I just released how pathetic that sounded. I can’t wait to get new windows? Boy am I getting old 🙂

Comic legend John Cleese is to undergo surgery on his colon to alleviate diverticulitis – and he plans to auction the parts of his anatomy surgeons remove on his personal website. The Monty Python funnyman and actor, 65, jokes with fans in a statement released on the internet that he developed the condition, which is prevalent in older people with a low fiber diet, because of his “gluttony”. He even takes the joke so far as to suggest parts of his digestive system will shortly be available for his most dedicated fans to purchase. The statement continues: “The cure is to have the bit of the gut that has all the little pockets cut out. A very nice surgeon will be doing this. The infected bit which has been cut out by the surgeon will be offered for sale on the website in the next few days. Proceeds from the sale will be divided between JC (John Cleese) and the very nice surgeon.”

Hopefully Mr. Cleese will recover quickly from his surgery and be making us all laugh again in now time.

Yesterday we went to Walmart and I got Stephen King’s Everything’s Eventual book. Well actually my mother-in-law bought it for me (Thanks Karen :)) It’s a collection of 14 of King’s short stories. I started reading it this morning and so far have read 3 out of the 14 stories. I would love to read them all right now but want to space them out to make them last longer. Stephen King is by far my favorite author. I have read most of his books, not all but most. And as usually, I am enjoying this book immensely.

I am still having trouble with my new glasses. I stopped wearing them and went back to my old pair. I have better vision with my old pair. The people at Sterling Optical do not seem capable of handling my prescription. So as of right now I’m up a shit creek without a paddle.

Mike starts his job at Toys R Us on Tuesday. It will help to bring in some extra income to help get our house fixed up and since it’s only part time he will still have a pretty good bit of free time. Also on Tuesday the guy from Window World is going to come over to measure our windows. Hopefully it won’t take long for the windows to come in. I can not wait until we get some new windows instead of the old falling apart, painted shut windows we have right now.

Within the next couple of weeks I am going to be working on some new muffin recipes. Hopefully I can come up with some taste treats. If I do, I will be sure to post them.

You all have a good weekend!

Sorry I haven’t blogged for a couple of days but I am still trying to get the problem fixed with this site.

Tomorrow at 11 am Window World is suppose to give us a estimate on home much it is going to cost to replace some windows in our house. Hopefully it will be reasonable.

I got approved to run the Matlock Fanlisting and the fanlisting for the relationship between Nate Fisher and Lisa Kimmel Fisher from HBO’s original series Six Feet Under.

I have the Matlock Fanlisting up and running. Go visit it and join!

Raven had her first soccer practice of the season yesterday. She has moved up to U10. Which means bigger fields, bigger goals and harder work. Tomorrow is another one of her practices. Her team has 2 coaches and 2 assistant coaches and they all seem to be pretty darn good.

Sorry my writing isn’t that good tonight but I am tired and just trying to get this entry in so I can go to bed.

Well, I got the new lenses put into my glasses yesterday. It seems like this prescription is the right one. Hopefully. I still never found out exactly how they messed up my prescription. They never told me but everyone one at Sterling Optical and the doctors acted all weird like they where hiding something.

The repair guy came this morning with the right part for our fridge. Everything seems to be working fine now. The plus side is It didn’t take him long at all maybe 20 to 30 minutes at the most. The minus is we are out $103.88

The back of my ears still hurt. I am hoping I get use to these new glasses very quickly. And I am planning within a month to go get fitted for contact lenses. It will be so lovely not to have to deal with glasses. With contacts I can do all sorts of things with out worrying about my glasses getting bent :).

I am having problems with my site. I have not a clue what is going on but hopefully I can get it fixed soon. So cross your fingers!
