Random Thursdays

Missy from Dakota Recipes invited me to be a blogger on her recipe blog! So here is my first post... Twice Baked Potato Soup. Go there and enjoy!
I've got too much stuff in my house...

We picked up the projects from the county fair last night. It's all done. finitay. over. and. out.

BTW: I got a red ribbon on my dress that I sent in. I'm a little nervous now to show that at the state fair, so I won't. Maddy is thrilled, because now she can wear it to my nephews wedding in a couple weeks... Got some good advice on the comment sheet and know what I'd change when I make that particular dress again. Got a blue on my hat. They said to use interfacing to stiffen it. I did! Obviously not a heavy enough weight tho... Oh well. I like it.

Getting geared up for the State Fair. Have to drop off my entries on Saturday. Have to decide exactly what I'm going to submit... and iron. a.lot.

Wow! Last night's Bible study was interesting! We don't normally talk about dinosaurs in church...

I think I've hit on the right thing to get my lawn ant mountains in check. We stopped at Lowes and picked up some powerful stuff. I had tried all the hot water in the holes bit and when I was spraying for weeds one day, I was upset with them and sprayed a bunch of that down the holes too. That just made them tougher and angry. We'll see what this stuff does... The mountain, and trust me it is..., doesn't look too active this morning. We may be onto something here... They may be plotting revenge of course.

Since I have a July birthday and since I signed up for a birthday club at a certain chocolate shop... I get a free box of chocolates but it's only for a shop in Des Moines. Luckily I have to drop off my state fair entries this weekend anyway, so I'll be swinging by to get that! I doubt it will make it home... Me and chocolate have a thang.Lost 3 lbs without trying. Not sure if it's because I haven't had any overly salted popcorn lately or because I'm dehydrated... We'll test that theory when I hit snack time today... It's probably a combination.

Hair cut day! and boy, my bangs know it!

I used bleach to get rid of my ants. Yes, the grass is dead and it's not good for the environment, but the ants are gone!

Congrats on your blue ribbons and your birthday box of chocolates! We had ants in the kitchen. Then my husband sprayed. Now they're in my upstairs bathroom! UGH! I hate anything with over 4 legs! Gives me the heebeegeebees! I'm heading off to look at your soup!

Frances said...

That soup recipe sounds delish! I want some...right now.

Hope you get rid of the ants soon. I hate ants.

WOW! You have a ton of stuff going on at your house! I got tired just reading about it.
And if you think you lost a few pounds because of salt, maybe that is what is wrong with me! I never thought of that! I've been dieting and not losing anything. But I did start drinking diet pop and I know that has a ton of salt. You should sent me a bill!

congratulations on those ribbons; of course now I'll have to consult the ribbon chart because I can't remember if the red or blue is "higher"

Me and chocolate are in a pretty serious relationship too!
