Tonight, I met a friend for dinner. I thought I saw her pull into the parking lot and I kept turning around trying to see if it was her…but there was a big, fat purple dragon in my way!
This guy was a Goodwill find….and I had NO idea he was/is a Disney character!
I love Figment…..but not tonight. Ya old fatty!
I am a creature of habit. I really don’t enjoy getting pushed out of my comfort zone….I realize the good after the fact and realize I can handle whatever life throws at me….but in the middle of it….I hate it.
Yesterday, I was part of a baby shower for a very dear friend, bible study leader and former bride. I love this woman and it was an honor to shower her with love in a tangible way. It was a blast working beside other woman I deeply love to prepare for the event. Part of what we did to prepare was sign up for and make food. Well, this girl took FOREVER to sign up and was left with a food she’d NEVER made.
To say I was nervous/anxious/not happy about it would be a little bit of an understatement. Add to the fact that I had never made this food, quiche, was that it had to be made with a few dietary restrictions. Oh my goodness, I was a MESS! Even one of my friends, who helped prepare as well, had to say, stop stressing about it, it’s one of those “can’t mess it up” type foods! It’s a party! Have fun!
So I pulled up my boot straps, bought the ingredients and set up shop.
The kitchen was a tornado of preparation. When I had the mixture ready to go, it looked way different than I expected.
But I put the little guys in the first batch in the oven and hoped for the best. Afterwards, I had a mom and husband approved taste test, so I gained a little confidence. I finished making the rest and called it a night.
They were apparently a hit because I didn’t bring many home. And now, I have a new food to add to my list of “can makes.”
It made me think, wow…if I can do this…what other things do I write off because I think I can’t do it, but actually can….AND do it somewhat well?
What about you?

We HAD to go again to Dickey’s in Bel Air! If you like BBQ even a little bit, this place is amazing!
Ok, I’ve been SUPER excited to share the behind the scenes story of Bret’s Guinness World Record attempt. He’s written up a wonderful post, but there’s a problem….it’s like 8 pages long on a Word document. Instead of guessing how y’all want to read it, I figured I’d leave it up to you! Please vote and let us know which you prefer! I will say, that when I read the post, it brought me to tears. Bret did a great job of summing up the last two plus years and all the training that went into the attempt.
Living with my family has been great. It has saved us a ton of money and caused us to have a ton of flexibility with our spending. But there is a big downside….one that we miss especially now that Bret is done with his Guinness World Record attempt….
Ordering Domino’s pizza! Ahhhhh. We were watching Friends tonight and someone walked in with pizza and Bret was like, AH, let’s order pizza!…..oh….awww….right. 😦
So, since we can’t order pizza, we can remember a day when we had a TON of pizza…
Oh and chocolate lava cakes.
