Silver Screen Suppers

Grr!  As some of you know, cowboys are my weakness…  I had to wear my cowgirl boots to work on Friday in an attempt to lasso some Texas Cowgirl Spirit.  I had an “emotional gust” on Thursday, some might call it a TANTRUM.  Where did all that fury come from?  Haven’t seen that in a [...]

It is pancake day and that means tomorrow is the beginning of Lent.  This year I have decided to give up MEN for Lent.  40 days and 40 nights without men.  Do you think I can do it?  I think I can.  To be honest, although it may seem from this blog as though I [...]
