Are You in the Mood for Peanuts?

But Not Crackerjack...

When you think of the holidays, you also think of cartoons.  Especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas time.  Sharing your holidays with Charlie Brown and Snoopy is practically a tradition.  Woodstock too!  Then there are all the Santa Claus specials.  Hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner.  

"C is for Cookie!"

"That's Good Enough For Me!"

So being that we just ate a bunch of food for Thanksgiving, why is it that I'm thinking of cookies lately?  How about you?  Something sweet, something chocolatey, and definitely something gooey!  Yum!

Do you know what Betty Crocker did?  They gave us an awesome way to make cookies fast.  All you need to do is go buy your favorite cake mix, add in eggs, oil, and vanilla...  and there you have it!  Cookie dough!  Then you just stick them in the oven to bake and mmmmm...  Really good cookies!  

The Insanity of...

Black Friday...

Has just moved to Thursday!  So exactly what were you doing out?  I had a nice turkey dinner with my family and friends where we all contributed by making our favorite dishes.  And then I headed out to the stores to catch a deal or two.  I guess if you think about it, wouldn't you rather walk off some of the turkey and stuffing and sleep in on Friday?  Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving Day!

What Are You Thankful For?

Friends & Family

No, it's not a coupon.  So what do we call the holiday where everyone gets together to eat and sleep?  Thanksgiving, of course!  I am very thankful for the family that I have including all the new additions coming through.  I'm also very thankful for good friends who are there for you when the going gets rough.  At certain points in life you have to determine who your real friends are.  What's a frenemy really?  An enemy.  Not your true friend.  Use wisdom in who you are friends with because they do have the power to affect your life.

Have a Blessed & Happy Thanksgiving!

Lions, and Tigers, and Bears...

Oh My!  And a reindeer!

Observations...

Of the Animal Kingdom

I was at the zoo recently and saw the baby lions roaming around with their lioness mother.  They were licking each other every which way and I do mean every which way, if you get my drift.  So then they finally reach their dad who is supposedly the king of the jungle... except that he is very submissive when it comes to his wife who is the mother of his children.

The kids rush to the father.  He roars!  They run and hide.  The mother gets mad at the Dad who finally just sits morosely while his kids start biting his hair.  Interesting, huh?  It seems that having children is an adjustment no matter what species you are.  And mothers are always protective of their young.
