My Little Sister

My Little Sister is 13 and as much as I love her she’s already driving my crazy. I am afraid that she’s growing up WAY too fast. I may have to start cleaning the shotgun already. I was hoping not to have to until at least 15.

She wants to be a fashion designer and plans on moving to New York when she gets old enough. She plans on becoming rich someday and I wish her the best. I don’t know how to advise her or anything. There is 11 years difference in our age. I seem old to her I hope that someday we will be able to be close but I am just not sure how that will happen. My only bet is to just be there for her and help her if she should ever need it.

I don’t know how to help her to become the person she can be especially since I am not even sure of what kind of person I am going to be yet and I am 25. I once did see the future of all three of us  well off (mine from selling a couple of books) and visiting but I am not sure about that possibility anymore.

She has been calling me all the time lately. I am not sure why. We don’t talk much when she does call. Perhaps its because she’s just lonely. I am not sure.

Anyway I had better get back to doing the dishes….

Another use for a Journal

I found another use for one of my journals. I am using it to create a recipe book of the recipes I want to keep after having made it (with my variations of course). I wont add the ones that are already in one of my cookbooks. In the cookbook I will mark in my own adjustments. I mean the recipes I find online or a family member gives me.

But I wont add the recipe to the book until it has been tested out. They wont be organized but oh well maybe if I get enought it wont matter. Any way I am going to mark the date that its added as well as what catagory it belongs in.

Maybe these recipes will be passed down from generation to generation.

Good luck cooking.

Old fashioned living and frugal tips

Sometimes I wish that I could go back to the pioneering days. I am like how they were frugal and helpful to one another. They were two busy to cause trouble. Well at least most of them.

Some day I plan on having my own farm and ranch and will need to know the way things used to be. Heck it wouldnt hurt to know them now.

So i am looking up ways to make money go a little further. So I am doing most of my own cooking. Or at least I need to start. I wish we still had chicken so that I could make everything from scratch but I find that right now its not possible. However for now I can do what I can to ensure that things stretch a little further then normal.

Like making chicken and dumplings and constantly adding more dumplings in order to make it into at least 3 days worth of meals. And it constantly tastes better and better.

Anyway if anyone has any oldfashioned frugal tips let me know.

Adopt a Cat

Well about a week ago we adopted a stray cat.... Well more like she adopted us.We named her Peaches. Cueball died on the 18th and we of course were sad cause we had him and his older brother since they were born.

Yesterday we open the front door to see Peaches along with 2 kittens. And today she brought us another one. And we dont know if she's gonna bring us more or what. They are adorable kittens it seems as if we have 3 little replacements for Cueball. I havent got a clue what we are gonna do with them but right now they are to young to leave their mother.

Officially Summer

Well schools out for the summer down here in AR. So that means its no longer spring. I have no clue what I am going to do this summer. Probably not much of anything.

This weekend was Crawdad days in Harrison. Before long it will be county fair time. I really wish that we could go but I dont think we will.

I also cant believe that our 7th anniversary is in 16 days. I wish we could celebrate but its not possible with Jesse's ribs... You know I think his ribs are ruining everything. Oh well I had better get used to it.

Makeup for May 19, 2012

Well here is day 1 of my wearing makeup everyday. I am keeping it somewhat simple. I am even wearing Dark Vanilla perfume. I love the smell of Vanilla. I also have Chery Vanilla and Vanilla Fields which I LOVE!!!

Making a home

In less than a month Jesse and I will be celebrating our 7th anniversary. I cant believw that its been that long sometimes. Other times it feels like its been forever.

Yet in all that time we have never had a home. We've had a house but its not the same thing. The thing is I dont know much about having a home instead of a house. The only time i have ever felt like I had a home was when My Brother and I lived with our Grandparents for a little over a year. So I am gonna try and remember what it was like then and incorperate that into our home life.

I really need some ideas of how to turn a house into a home.
