RANDOM THOUGHTS.....

Did you ever wonder why we have such a hard time doing something we know we should?  Why not just do it?  Why do we play games with ourselves knowing what the end result has to be? 

I have decided that there are some things that no one can do for me and really they probably don't care anyway.  I have to do them myself.  I have to pull myself up by my boot straps and take control of the situation!  (the bad thing is I don't wear boots....but you know what I mean).  We have all been there at one time or another.  A real  "ah ha" moment when we realize we are responsible for our own destiny, you might say.  Although God is our ultimate authority we do have to answer for ourselves.

So, I say all that to say this.  I have made a HUGE commitment to myself to accomplish some things in the near future.  No, this is not a New Years Resolution and it probably isn't earth shattering to anyone but me.  But I am going on record as saying it is going to happen.  There!  As my mother-in-law used to say, "I've said it and I'm glad."

On another note, we are enjoying some spring like weather.  We have all had our share of the usual gunk that is going around but thank God is hasn't been as bad as some.  I attribute that to the fact that Jay'v and I pretty much just stay here all snug and warm and away from all the germs....LOL.  We will get out when the weather gets real nice and the germs are gone.

We are looking forward to the newest arrival of the Sherron clan within the next couple of weeks.  Carolyn and George are all ready to welcome baby Zara.  She can make her entrance just any time.  Her little pink room is ready and waiting for her homecoming.

It is amazing how different babies are.  Carolyn was my impatient one.  I had false labor from six months on.  I actually spent the night in the hospital twice getting the labor to stop because she was impatient to get here.  She was actually born 3 1/2 weeks early.  Zara is due in 1 1/2 weeks and  Carolyn hasn't felt much of anything.  That doesn't mean she won't go tomorrow but she sure has been a calm baby as far as that goes.  We hope that continues for Mommy and Daddy's sake.

The Sherron house is kind of in an uproar right now.  Charlie is between jobs for a few weeks so we decided to remodel the master bathroom.  These projects are always such a mess and always seem to run into unexpected twists and turns but the end result will be worth it.  Maybe I'll post pictures after it is all done. 

Does anyone need a recipe for homemade pizza crust that tastes just like frozen pizza....LOL.  Seriously, I love to make things with yeast dough and usually have great success but not this time. I recently bought a new cookbook that is all baking and mostly yeast dough and even though I have a good pizza crust recipe I thought I would try this one since it looked so good.  Well, the dough was so stiff even with not using all the flour that I just knew it wasn't going to rise good.  (and I was right).  This dough was so heavy and stiff I just rolled it out and made some cheesy bread sticks with it.  Wasn't so bad that way. Then I made my old tried and true recipe  and proceeded with my pizzas.  A lesson learned.  I don't usually make a "new" recipe when I have am having company but it worked out since they were running late and my recipe only has to rise for 15 minutes.  So, remember,  if you want a recipe to taste just like that old frozen pizza just let me know....I have it. 

Sorry this has been kind of rambling but I did warn you.  Now time to move some more stuff out of the bathroom so my own personal "Bob the Builder" can proceed with making a mess in order to make it beautiful.
