Today at work..

As I was passing the Meerkats on my way out of work today I over heard a woman ask her child if there was only one Meerkat and the child said "Yes, there is only one. The others are dead!" Of course all our Meerkats are not dead.. They just didn't want to come out today. I thought this was cute and had to share!

Update

Just a quick update on my niece. We think we know where she is and she has been in contact with my mom. My mom has offered her a place to live, but there are a lot of things that need to get cleared up. At least we know she is safe! Thanks for all your prayers and concerns.

Please Pray

My niece who is 15, ran away this past weekend. I've been told that she has been spreading a lot of lies about family members and friends. Lies that are hurtful and could get some people into trouble. I'm not sure if I believe that part, but I do know that she has been gone since late Friday night. My sister has already filed a report with the police and is putting up posters in their neighborhood. Please pray that she is found and returned home safely.

Thanks.

You Might Remember Me...

I use to post here often..

Yeah yeah I know I haven't posted anything in a really long time. Yet somehow I managed to gain 5 followers! Hmm.. Maybe I need to take month long breaks more often! Just kidding.. maybe..

I've had so much craziness going on lately. My goal for this blog this year was to post more recipes and less life stuff, but I can't afford to go out and buy stuff to bake something different every week.. My poor shiney new mixer is feeling very neglected!

For those of you who don't know, my husband is no longer working, and has not worked in quite some time. He is going to school full time to hopefully better our futures. He is doing very well in school and just got accepted to one of the local Universities!! But him not working has put a strain on our financial situation. During the winter at the Zoo everyone gets their hours cut. So my pay check saw quite a pay-cut! Luckily spring is almost here and that means more people coming out to see the animals!

I've started selling Avon to try and help bring in some extra income. I've had a few orders here and there, but its going very slowly! It can only get better right?!

The only other major thing that has happened since I last blogged, is the fact that I had a major blowing out with my sister. I'm talking about the sister that I pretty much moved to Texas for. No, I'm not going to go into details to respect her privacy, but lets just say I don't expect to hear from her ever again. Its been since the middle of Jan, that I last spoke to her. Her last words to me were to tell me where I can shove my perfect life.

So other than all that life is grand!

I'm thinking about doing another giveaway.. not sure yet.. Any ideas?
