Breaking News!

By Beth -

I am subscribed, by email, to the news updates of a couple of different local news stations.  I receive an email once a day, from each of these staitons, that contains a list of daily headlines,with links i can follow if i would like to read "the rest of the story."

I also receive email messages if ever there is "breaking news," and i am mostly always disappointed.  Mostly at the apparent inability of our media to ascertain what sorts of "news" should or should not be classified as "breaking," or "news."

It has happened quite a bit lately, that I have taken note of the new meaning of news, which is most often an unsurprising continuation of a series of events we've been reading or hearing about for so long we don't really remember not knowing.

So, since blogging is technically part of the media, i thought it would be fun to share some breaking news with you.

Tonight's Breaking News

As predicted, my husband continues to not sleep and work on completing the remodel of our bathroom, which, if you remember, was the location of a small but meaningful housefire back in July.

As previously reported, said super hero is scheduled to leave town for the entire month of September and is working heroically, as is his manner, to fix for me a suitable arrangement before his absence.

I continue, every day, to be amazed by the goodness of God through all our "trouble" and thankful for the many blessings of which i find myself the ever-humbled benefactor.

During the course of the writing of this post, Hero Husband got some sleep, we spent some more money, and he continues to work tirelessly.  I expect to show you some amazing pictures in the near future.

Signing off now to listen to the beautiful rain.

Goodnight friends.

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...
