Tids-N-Bits 5 & OSB week-4

Well, it was a nice long weekend. As you know by my previous post, I stayed close to home all weekend. I did take Zander to the park on Monday and looked like a stalker taking dozens of pictures of him while trying to keep him from killing himself.

I made some apple butter this weekend. I was going to post the recipe on this site....but then decided not to! What? Simmer down.....I have a better idea.

I've been thinking a lot about my Aunt since she passed away last week. It made me think of my Grandma too....well, I think of her pretty often anyway. I need to do a post on her because she taught me so many things....I want to write it down so Zander knows how special she was. I was talking to my mom about getting the apple butter recipe and she was saying how many other recipes we had from Aunt Jean and from Grandma too. So, I thought I would contact some cousins and Aunts and see if they wanted to contribute any recipes as well.

So, hopefully, I will have the new recipe blog up soon! Yeee Haaaw!!!

OSB Update: Well, I've been a bad girl....I didn't exercise over the weekend. Although I did try to eat better (except for when my Mom barbecued and made brownies for dessert)! YUMMMY!!!! So, I gained/lost 0 lbs!!!! Yep, no change from last week. I'm gonna say that some of this is due to building muscle....as some of you stated last week...muscle weighs more than fat! I'm gonna go with that. The reason I say this is that my thighs are less 'flubby'......yes, I coined a new word - flubby. You can use it too if you like.

flubby (adjective) - Combination of chubby and flabby.

Last Thursday as I was driving with my parents to southern MO for the funeral, gas was $3.29/gal. On the way back that afternoon, it had shot up to $3.49/gal. I'm sure this was because we were heading into Labor Day weekend and the government has taken enough of our money yet. Swell!!! Seems fair!!! Jerkwads!!!

I watched the premiere of 90210 last night. It was okay. However, I won't be able to fit this into my fall schedule. I enjoyed the premiere of Prison Break more.....which I won't be able to fit that into my fall schedule either. However, I found out one of my FAVORITE new shows is back!!!! And I'm soooooo excited!!!! Can you see me jumping up and down? Really? Cause the floor is shaking!!! It starts next week: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!!!! I loved that show when it aired as a midseason replacement last season due to the writer's strike. I was worried they wouldn't bring it back. But I think it has a cult following....kind of like Buffy did back in the day....and I'm on the bandwagon for this show too!!! Wooo Hooo!!!

I also get suckered into watching America's Next Top Model every season. I apparently like watching a 'deer stuck in the headlights'. It's so fierce!!!
