Yours & Mine

Yours & Mine. Mine & Yours. Mine & Mine. If you are married you know exactly what I'm sayin'. Wife & what the Husband thinks is his...ect. So here goes.

Two years ago we replaced the siding on our house. We went from a wood (painted red) to concrete (primer). In the past two years I have not given much thought to what color I wanted to paint the house. Seriously, not on the top of my to do list. Last Wednesday my dear old husband calls me while I am at work and announces that WE needed to pick a color to paint the house because he has hired the Amish to do it and they are coming on Tuedsay. (I pretty much hate to admit this next part) I'm kind of like my dad in the fact that it takes me a little while to get used to the idea of something and there are SO many paint colors to chose from and I have less than a week. A little stressful.

So on Friday, WE are getting ready to go to the paint store to get paint. I already know that I do not want a red house. So that at least eliminated one color section and leaves --oh about 100 more to sort through! On the way there the husband has decided, DECIDED!!!!!, he wants a blue house. I'm warming up to the various shades of green.

We walk in the door and the nice sales lady comes over to help us and all I can think is "Go away and don't rush me" After looking at several, and I mean several, options we have it narrowed down to a blue and a green. Yours & Mine. Somewhere between putting it on the house and taking a step back to look at the colors-- someone had decided they picked the green. Go figure. Let's say the blue is a "can not miss it" and the green is more of a "these people might have a slight sense of style" Living in the country we (I) strive for the second option.

All of the women reading this knew when it started that the story would end like this didn't ya? But that's okay because I got what I wanted--a green house. Life is good.


Bacon Chicken Wraps

2 chicken breast boneless, skinless
6 pieces of bacon
1/2 c. cheese-- any kind you want
4 T. monteal steak seasonsing (yes I know I'm using chicken--trust me!)


Heat grill.
Pound out chicken breast until 1/4 in. thin. Sprinkle each and both sides with seasoning. Down the middle of the breast place cheese. Roll up tightly and wrap with bacon. Try to cover the ends and the seam. Secure bacon with tooth pick. Transfer to grill--cheese will ooze out-- cook until done. We usually do around 400 for about 15 minutes TOTAL.

This is probably our FAVORITE summer supper. We love it. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

Happy Eating,

We have all of the party supplies in (yay) and I am going to mail the invites TOMORROW! I have decided I am going to make his cake. --yes I can make cakes--yes I enjoy making cakes (baking)--No I don't really have time for it, but that's gonna be changing folks. BUT, I can not unveil that surprise just yet. You'll have to keep checking back for that one. What I can tell you is that it will be a MAJOR change..... I'd better stop before I spill the beans, cuz I really wanna spill the beans and just can't quite yet. Soon I promise.

F.M.

Let me start by saying that I promise to blog more. (Once God gives me that extra day that I have been asking for...)

Last Saturday was the OPENING day of the farmer's market. We did not have any produce ready so we (read I) made baked goods...all new creations that sounded good. All of then turned out yummy. We (remember how to read that word) made chocolate-cherry muffins, mocha muffins, a coffee cake, and 2 honey bun cakes. Sold out of everything! I was completely shocked and amazed. Better than I could ever ask for.

I also made my homemade bath salts. This was the first time that I acutally sold them. Usually, I make them and give them as gifts... I sold all but 1 bath salt and was again completely shocked and amazed.

I think that I will start posting the recipes for one thing that I take to market each week. Also, if you are interested in bath salts and would like a certian sent/color combo, let me know =]

Why?

You might be wondering why- why blog, why "hot mess" momma, why living the dream? So I will start by answering these.

Why blog- It seems like something fun that I can do FOR ME!
Why "hot mess" momma (h.m.m) WELLLLL, I always say hot mess and usually hot mess applies to my life. A hot mess is something out of the blue, very chaotic, does not go together, ect.
Why living the dream- That is what I am trying to accomplish while roaming this Earth.

I live on a farm that consists of cattle, pigs, dogs, a cat, a husband- OPPS!, and a vegetable garden. Last July we added a baby to the mix. He is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. If you are looking for something sexy, it is not gonna be in here. The sexiest this blog will ever get will be dirty diapers and cow crap.
