Indian Summer

I have been off the blogging for the last few days.  My life gets so busy and I always throw things on the back burner never to return to them again.  I don't want my blog to die the same death as a million other new ventures in my life have, it would just be too sad!  I have had so many dreams in my life but I never follow through.  I don't know if it is because I have a mild case of ADD..or what the hell the problem is with me.  I am never short of things to say, so I will continue my blog as long as I have followers...and that I do!

I have been so frustrated over the last few days at how people are handling this election...which brings me to Facebook.   I do spend time on it everyday.  I enjoy reading people's posts.  They seem to think people really care if they are going to a pancake breakfast or to a big party or that they got really drunk the night before.   I would much prefer to read juicier tidbits than that!  But needless to say, I read all the posts I can get my hands on and I love looking at pictures.  Some are better than others.   Time has been kind to some and not so kind to some! (oh and by the way....can you please refrain from posting pictures of you posing for the camera....you are no supermodel!)  I love it.  And everyone else does too.....BUT....do me a favor and check your political views at the door.  NO ONE CARES what you think...and further, I bet if I sat half of these people in a room, they couldn't answer one question on why they are voting for who they are voting for.  We seem to have forgotten what it is to respect one another.  Each candidate is a human being, not a human whipping post.  So I commented on someone's wall the other day saying to let it alone...leave politics to the politicans..etc.  OH MY...you would have thought I killed his dog.  I had a million emails from his Facebook friends telling me off....and the words were not kind.  I can assure you of that.  What a joke.  Finally I just deleted him off my friends list.  I don't want friends who don't show people respect.  It is fine to disagree with people's views, but everyone is entitled to their opinion no matter who they are.  Get over it!

I am really high strung lately.  Everytime I walk out of the room, one of my kids has to follow me.  GEEEEZZZ....can't they follow their dad somewhere?  I am with them 24/7.  Shouldn't every hard working mother get a few minutes to herself during the weekend?  or is that too much to ask?  Anyway...I am working on reservations for the St. Chris auction.   My best friend is working on it with me too.  We spent over an hour on this damn spreadsheet.  I felt like I was back at work again!  Well, she did I am sure since she was working on it...I don't like spreadsheets--they give me vertigo.

Well, once again, I have a child tugging on me.   I have to get these kids to be before Sunday night shows start!  I will talk to you all soon.....

one last thing.  I tried a yogurt parfait today from Whole Foods....well, I am actually eating right now.  I am breaking Oprah's eating after 7:30 rule.  But for all you healthy girls out there....if you want to make one at home....just mix plain yogurt, honey, mint, and some fruit together and you have a really healthy later night dessert!  Sooo good.

My fish taco recipe is awesome and easy too.  I made them tonight.  I copied my friend who was having them :)  I use Cod filets.  very mild fish.  salt, pepper and a little chili powder on both sides.  I fry in a small amount of olive oil until done...then I use corn tortillas, fresh salsa and guacamole from whole foods...some shredded cabbage and I don't do the mayo sauce that is usually on them in restaurants....mayo=heart attack....have a good one :)
