Do you know how many sets of clothes I have ruined with food and grease stains? A lot. I keep forgetting to put on an apron, or I remember and then tell myself I will just be careful. Umm, yeah. That works about as well as coitus interrupts works for preventing pregnancy. But then I had an idea: what about nursing scrubs? I mean, those things are like magic, right? Have you ever seen stained scrub clothing? And nurses come in contact with bodily fluids all the time. It’s a thought, right?
Of course, I know me. I can’t remember to put on an apron. What is the likelihood that I am actually going to change into a scrub top before I start cooking? Slim to none, until I run out of unstained shirts. Which, at the current rate, may be way sooner than I’d like to think!

Every holiday season my family and I watch Annabelle’s Wish on our direct tv special packages. It usually airs mid to late December. The story is about a boy who has gone mute and his favorite cow, who makes the ultimate sacrafice to help the boy.
The reason it is my favorite animated Christmas special is simple, I love the message. The movie teaches about unconditional love and how one persons unselfishness changes the lives of many people. So often in life we forget about unconditional love and how if we just gave up one thing the impact that it could have on another human life.
I am trying to instill good values in my children and they watch this with me every year and we eat cookies and have hot cocoa. I also use this movie to help guide us in giving to those less fortunate to us during the holiday season.
The movie has a great ending and it shows that when you help others without selfish motives that you will receive a blessing yourself.

I don’t know about your house, but at my house, the kitchen is absolutely the hardest room to tame. It’s not that I need tobacco odor removal austin or elsewhere, because no one smokes in the the house here. No, it’s just that as soon as I manage to actually get it clean, everyone wants to hang out in it. They want to chat in my kitchen. But they want to eat and drink and COOK in that clean kitchen, too! That means the kitchen is once again dirty! Do your people do that to you, too?
Here’s what else has happened in my kitchen lately: the oven has quit. I didn’t need fire damage assessment austin, because it didn’t go out with a bang or anything, it just gradually quit heating, pretty much at all. It does still function as a magazine dryer, though, since I used it in that capacity just this weekend. BTW, in case anyone ever leaves your favorite magazine out in the rain, it takes about 200 hours at 150 or so to dry out a couple hundred pages. They are crispy but readable. Just so you know.
The one thing I don’t meed for the kitchen: rug cleaning tips. I don’t want anything resembling a rug in that high traffic room. I do, however, want new cabinets, countertops, sinks, pot and pans. Also, wooden cooking utensils. Anybody feeling Santa-ish today?

During the holiday season, nothing is better than treating my family to a delicious, homemade fruit cake! While we were watching a program on our satellite television last night, we even saw an ad for an upcoming show detailing how to make a fruitcake! I could not believe my ears! Although the fruitcake I have made for years has always been well enjoyed by everyone in the family, I am estatic to view this show to see just how they make a fruitcake. It comes on next week, and you can believe my eyes will be glued to the television set that my husband got because of the “great Direct TV Sports Packages“!
A lot of people do not like fruitcake, and I do not know why. Maybe they have never had a homemade fruitcake to tempt their tastebuds! So many juicy flavors combine and come to life inside of a fruitcake. Each bite sends my tastebuds into overdrive, and I can never seem to get enough fruitcake! It is so good to eat! I get my fill of it and then some. As hard to believe as it may sound, getting to make my famous fruitcake is one of my favorite things about the holiday season!
