What's on my mind.

By Beth -

Yesterday we crossed a big milestone in our insurance adventure.  We got paid.  Very big deal. In order to get paid, we had to cross through the wilderness of downtown Houston in our not air-conditioned car in 103 degree heat, etc., etc.  We had other plans and brands this weekend also, and basically this is the first rested few minutes I have had at my house this weekend.  I am pooped but happy to have accomplished important things on our goal list. 

I made another break-through.  After our clothes were delivered from the cleaning company, I was determined that there was no way I was going to keep so many items that I haven't missed for the last month, in my house, to just take up space.  So last evening, after we got back from our adventures, I went to work unpacking and sorting.  It went much faster than i anticipated, and I now have 2-3 boxes of clothes and shoes to donate and a giant  pile of items that should only have been kept as rags to begin with.  I'm not quite finished, but I made a ton of progress, and I feel much better.

When I get a few minutes, i think i'm going to create a review blog.  Mostly, my deal is that when I have experiences with products or services, I generally have something to say about them, and I want the interwebs to benefit from my experience, but I don't really think that you, my farm and life friends, are necessarily interested in my critical review of every product i use or service i try.  So a sisters sort of site seems in order.

So. since i clearly don't have enough to do right now, i'm wanting to go ahead and create this new blog, but i'm having trouble deciding what to name it.  Any ideas?

I considered "Humble Reviews," but, let's face it, reviews don't really lend themselves to humility.  I thought of "Beth's List", but i'm sure I can be more original than that.

The Hard Truth

Does Beth Like It?

Can YOU Handle the Truth?

I just can't decide.  Not a good start for a reviewer/critic, I guess, but it is what it is.

I would love love love any opinions or ideas from y'all about my potential review blog's potential name.

Fire away, please.

Who are you?

I (and i assume pretty much anyone who writes about their lives and makes their writing available to the entirety of  the planet, via the internet) really appreciate knowing that people are reading what i write . . . and hopefully not scoffing. Because i am interested in having peeps read, i install things like statcounter on my blog so that i can see how many people are checking me out - and sometimes what they're reading and how many times.  What i can't tell, especially if you don't comment, is who you are and why you're reading. And maybe you don't want me to know.  That's cool. The other night, i got curious about an influx of new followers i see on my profile.  So i went to each followers profile to see what i could see.  But for most of you, there was still very little information. Bear with me, i'm coming to a point here. The point:  A few minutes ago, i learned that today, January 14, 2011, has been designated, by the influential authori...

Let's Break Bread

By Beth -

Let me start by saying that i am NOT an expert in bread-making.  I like to make bread, and my husband likes me to make bread, and i have messed up a lot of bread.  Also i have done a lot of reading and experimenting to learn how to stop messing up the bread. This i will share with you. Today i made basic white bread from a very old Betty Crocker cook book, and i took pictures for you. Every yeast bread recipe made with kneaded dough has certain elements to it, and the following very few tips can be used with any of them......no matter what the recipe says you should do. Tip #1, Take Your Temperature :  The recipe will tell you to take a liquid, usually water or milk, and dissolve the yeast in it.  Usually the recipe says something like "warm water," or "almost hot to the touch," or something else i can't properly decipher with my finger tips.  So i use a wonderful modern invention called a thermometer.   The two types of yeast readily available in th...

Ridiculous Ads for $100 Please

By Beth -
If you use Facebook, you may have noticed a vertical row of advertisements on the right hand column of your profile page that can be very entertaining. If you're not a Facebook user, please keep reading, i'll fill you in. Here's one of those ads: The heading reads "Women Born in 70s Look 25" . First of all, i take issue with that particular phenomenon being very miraculous, but let me know how this works for you. When i click on this link i learn about a middle-aged woman named Cara, who used to have wrinkles. Cara was 43 years old (NOT born in the 70s) when she stumbled upon a miracle cure for aging and wrinkles, blah, blah, blah. The most interesting thing about Cara is that she just happens to live in Coldspring, Texas. Can you believe it? I live in Coldspring, Texas! I have to admit that if i lived in say, Houston, or Spring, or The Woodlands, i would probably not have thought much about some random woman who discovered the fountain of youth coincid...
