Where did I put my brain?
Posted by: justasimplecountrygirl on: 07 Sep, 2008
I’ve had the worst time this week remembering things, including the password to my blog account.
On another note…
When I was a child, I had a mind like a steel trap. Mama learned the hard way never to promise me anything. The words would barely leave her lips and immediately I became a pint-size [...]
Simplier is not always better
Posted by: justasimplecountrygirl on: 21 Aug, 2008
My grandmother taught me that in cooking (and in life) simplier is always better. This recipe seems to be an exception. Though it’s lengthy in ingrdients, each flavor compliments each other . I haven’t thought of a name yet. Any suggestions?
½ cup brown sugar (packed)
½ cup white sugar
½ cup margarine
1 [...]
Cookin’ and “Chasing After Aprons”
Posted by: justasimplecountrygirl on: 09 Aug, 2008
Like a bad penny, I’m turning up again. A couple of weeks ago we journeyed to West for a cook-off. I got 8th place (out of 26 entries) with my Turtle Cheesecake. Tickled me to death because I made the recipe up the night before and hadn’t even tasted it. Risky huh? Life’s about taking [...]
Catching up
Posted by: justasimplecountrygirl on: 19 Jul, 2008
Nope, I haven’t vanished like a bad magic act, been kidnapped by a band of swarthy, sweaty, half-naked pirates, or fallen into an abyss. But this has been the busiest summer I’ve had in a long time.
My house has seen as much business as a Motel 6 (because of friends and family), and every day [...]
Save your sanity and your dough

Along with the rising cost of living, there’s something else that’s rising–my blood pressure. Where I live, the housing market is taking a nose dive and good luck trying to buy gas for under four bucks. I remember when gas was under a dollar. Back then I thought that was an [...]
On my soapbox
Posted by: justasimplecountrygirl on: 03 Jun, 2008
The nationwide events in the past month has left me shaking my head.
When I began telling people Robert was autistic, I knew there’d be consequences, and there has been. Individuals I’ve known for years have stopped emailing, stopped calling. Some have given the excuse that they feel uncomfortable, they don’t know what to say. I [...]
Love conquers all

No. That’s not a Siberian Husky doing a Poodle impersonation. It’s our dog Blue recovering from his surgery.
Two weeks ago, Blue walked Seth to the bus as he normally does, but this time as he was crossing the road to come home, a speeding car hit him, smashing his femur through the pelvis [...]
All I Ever Wanted Was a Dog

Names have been changed to protect the not so innocent.
When I was a teenager, I had my life planned out. I’d drive a sports car, be a vet, and own my own horse racing stable. I never planned to be a mother.
Mama thought differently. “Embrace motherhood,” she’d say, ‘it’s your destiny and it’s so [...]
Woot!

This past weekend (Sunday) I competed in the bake-off at the Buda Country Fair (home to the Weiner Dog Races) and got this:
Now, the reason I’m doing a happy dance is because I baked two bundt cakes, a couple batches of cookies (that’s what won me second), and two loaves of bread in this, all [...]
I knew what kind of day it would be when I opened my laundry room door one morning and found my cat doing the backstroke in two inches of water which covered the entire floor. Sloshing past sodden undies (escapees from the clean clothes basket) and plucking an angry kitty off my ankle [...]
- Big_Dave_T: My memory started slipping long ago. I'm careful at work to document everything in writing, since I won't remember what or how I did anything a week
- justasimplecountrygirl: Hehe. At least they were clean. :o)
- much more than a mom: Amen to the memory- I totally have that problem. So funny about your polka dot underwear!
