Sweetie Pie



It was literally the easiest recipe ever! I can't take credit, I found it online somewhere. Google is just the best...I swear I ask the most rediculous questions and it never judges me. For example, with this recipe I typed in "Fast, low fat, graham cracker crust, peach pie". And lo and behold. Thanks, internet.


Frosty Peach Pie Supreme

1 cup peach (fresh, frozen peaches sliced and divided)
16 ozs yogurt (peach)
8 ozs whipped topping (thawed)
1 graham cracker crust (8 inches)
1 Finely chop half of the peaches and place in a bowl.
2 Stir in the yogurt.
3 Fold in whipped topping.
4 Spoon into crust.
5 Cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.
6 Refrigerate for 45 minutes before slicing.
7 Top with remaining peaches.

Pocket Full 'A Sunshine



There are so many things about today that make it a good day....or a bad day.

Isn't it funny how so much depends on our attitude? For example, today could be a VERY good day based on the following:

1. It's huge. It's hot. It's the SUN. Seriously, it's supposed to reach high 80's today!
2. I don't have to work today. PTL too, because it's the Lord's day!
3. I have worked out in some fashion for the past 6 days, and my muscles feel deliciously abused.
4. I have all (or, ALMOST all....see below list) day to do whatever I please.
5. I don't have homework or nursing classes tomorrow!
6. I am wearing a sundress.
7. My sister and brother-in-law and there kids (including my godson!) will be here in less than a week!

And now, the cons...







Well, I started writing them out, and there were only 2, and it made me feel better to just erase them.
Yes, attitude is key.

119 min

.....why couldn't it just be 120 minutes? Why do all movies seem to hover at 93, 119, or 126 minutes? So-119 minutes. 119 minutes is how long it takes for movie characters to meet, fall in love, (possibly break up or have a couple kids too), and then end up together. Ok, so not every movie involving men and woman (which seems to be most of them), begins, endures, or ends like this. But lately I have been thinking how slow my love life seems to move. And by love life I mean the life that I mostly am just trying to figure out if it exists, or if it is just in my head. In the movies things move to progressively, so assuradly, and so predictably that most of us gripping our popcorn in "suspense" can call all the shots. More than once I have found myself frustrated by the slow passage of time. Yes, poor me, led astray from reality by the big, bad Hollywood....and poor you, subjected to listening. But this is not, in fact, a useless rant. As a matter of fact, it is simply an observation of my unrealistic expectations, and a lament of my beautiful, wonderful, impatient, and often utterly unreasonable feminine heart.

Adieu

If we did not have goodbyes.....we would never have "i miss you"'s. If we did not have goodbyes....we would never be able to look back and be grateful. If we did not have goodbyes....we would never have reunions. If we did not have goodbyes....we would take people for granted. If we did not have goodbyes....we would not learn who we truly need. If we did not have goodbyes....the heart could not grow stronger.
