5 facts



1. I don't have one of those Feedjit readers on my site because I KNOW me, I would obsessively check it. In fact, I sometimes check a site quickly and then re-check just to see if it shows I have been there. And sometimes I check people's sites simply to find out how many times I have been there. Sad, but true. I stalk your Feedjit......

2. When I try to leave feedback on blogs, I never ever get the letter verification correct the first time! I swear they are so HARD. Sometimes I don't leave people feedback because of it.

3. I avoid blogs that have music. Nothing against the blogger or the music...

4. I haven't shopped at Walmart in over 6 months, and I hope to never step in one again. I will pay higher prices elsewhere, and that is something I can live with.

5. I like to make Cinnamon Streusel bread for friends and claim it is homemade when it is actually from a box. Sad? Yes, it is .....

5. I used to do something similar when I worked. I'd say something was an old family recipe, and in a way, it was...

Old Family Recipe:
1. buy box.
2. open box.
3. follow instructions to the best of your ability.

This old recipe is very versatile and produces everything from brownies to mediocre pad thai (our homemade is much better)to delightful key lime bars. And my family has been using this method as long as I can remember.

Now, if I say homemade or from scratch, I really mean it... but the "old family recipe" may be totally deceptive.

Welcome to my world.
