Stitch Fix is a personalized shopping experience!</div>

<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;">1</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Start by filling out your style profile - you will answer questions on sizing, pricing, color preferences, etc. You can also write notes about what you like and don't like (mine says "no tie waisted tops/tunics or boyfriend jeans). Make sure to link your Stitch Fix board on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> so your stylist can see what you like and what to send you! </span></b></div>

If you keep any item you will be credited back the $20. You should keep at least one item or you are basically giving away $20 for nothing in return. You will receive 5 items [made up of clothing, jewelry, and handbags]. You can always opt out of anything you don't want. Mine says no earrings/bracelets.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>3. Decide what you want and what you want to send back [in a postage paid envelope-no cost to you]! You have 3 business days to do so - try everything on and go outside your norm and comfort zone!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>You can change the frequency of your fixes and this is in NO way a subscription service that you can't get out of. You can cancel at any time. :) Leave plenty of comments for your stylist on what you like/don't like. I know some people are curious on the pricing, most items are $50-$100 range. You can even set the $ amount that you would like to spend or tell your stylist to keep things under a certain amount. </b></span></div>

First of all let me start by saying that I have been doing Stitch Fix for a few months, trying to find the best stylist...and I've found her! Ding Ding! I love you Emily!</div>

I do NOT claim to be fashionable although I love fashion. I am just trying to update my wardrobe with classic, nice pieces that I can use forever. My weight fluctuates so that's another thing I always take into account. I bounce between <a dir="ltr" href="tel:105-112/115" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">105-112/115</a> lbs. That may not seem like a big deal to most people but to me it is the difference between a 0, 2 or 4. I have all of the above sizes in my closet but lately I have been bopping around 107 lbs. I have a super long torso. So long that tops are hard to find that are long enough to cover my bum. :( </div>

Said no one, ever.My son has never been scared to use the potty. Honestly, he was just lazy and didn't want to <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">stop what he was doing in order to try to </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">go potty, so guess what? He hated it!!! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I screwed this experience up royally. I would give in and quit too soon. And trust me, kids this young are far from stupid!! </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">We had tried multiple times to potty train. I tried the Cheerios, the rewards, the underwear only for a day (eww), the clapping and screaming when he would pee on the potty, etc. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">He met all the "requirements" for all the websites stating "your child is ready when....he/she does these certain 10 things." One of them was waking up each morning with a dry diaper and I noticed around his 3rd birthday that he wasn't having any wet diapers during the night anymore. I </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">was also uber jealous of all the other kids in his class at daycare who didn't have diapers in their "buckets". My coworker said as soon as I was really tired of buying diapers I would make it happen and boy was I!!!!</span><br />
<div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Hmmm...I think it's time to try again. This time I wasn't going to give up. The Taurus in me took over.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I took everyone's advice. Every day when we got home from work/school the diaper came off and big boy undies went on. It was messy. He was pissed when I would make him go potty. He would cry and I would cry. I sucked it up and as a friend told me "you are the boss, not him." I stuck to my guns. He would play in his pee on the floor. He didn't care if he was wet. I was losing my mind.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This continued for about 5 days then bam, it happened. Just like that. He didn't want to be wet in his diaper and I wasn't caving and he knew it. I just had to stick to it and be the boss. </div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Mommy and Kingston both won. </div>

Here is my potty trained little man enjoying pizza for his first day of daycare with no accidents. That was 2 weeks ago and still going strong! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lesson? I think the reason that they fail sometimes is because WE fail. <br />
I gave up too soon. <br />
I wasn't trying hard enough. <br />
I was so concerned with the mess. <br />
I thought he would just "get it." <br />
I expected him to just do it without accidents. So it wasn't him after all. It was me. <br />
I was the issue and it took me a while to learn but hey, we got this! </div>

Drops the diaper. Drops the mic. Does a cartwheel!</div>

Place the potatoes into the baking dish, leaving some oil. Cook and stir the green and red peppers and onions in the hot skillet until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the baking dish. Pour wine and chicken stock over the vegetables and sausage, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently stir the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables together.<br />Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

I'd give it a 3 1/2 out of 5. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIMl9nMzLpfqiIH7tUzTZRpgs51LYUbRmH70OC_3fizFWVEMNRdnqgFirUYrY9f4LFrhAdHdmK57bU47l9_8EsAlVUix2PqHKTWCKTpcQQZEVXnM1igyD4UMQFyV_Do2DsQTzf_-WjKcEY/s1600/photo+1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIMl9nMzLpfqiIH7tUzTZRpgs51LYUbRmH70OC_3fizFWVEMNRdnqgFirUYrY9f4LFrhAdHdmK57bU47l9_8EsAlVUix2PqHKTWCKTpcQQZEVXnM1igyD4UMQFyV_Do2DsQTzf_-WjKcEY/s400/photo+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697965769383724738" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOYM11tmK-Bx82KIOf5F_mUxEH9Ycgq-xyje_v7eacxENvgl8DueKs2KXH5QQRCtmzob3o6tnkOSbBKPrk0W5aGstG7BaVH9cbmZE73IwjpXEWpRy97r0G9pBG2yOvj3wrpc-dogTKFBx/s1600/photo+2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjOYM11tmK-Bx82KIOf5F_mUxEH9Ycgq-xyje_v7eacxENvgl8DueKs2KXH5QQRCtmzob3o6tnkOSbBKPrk0W5aGstG7BaVH9cbmZE73IwjpXEWpRy97r0G9pBG2yOvj3wrpc-dogTKFBx/s400/photo+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697965619630874050" /></a>Toni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673890764579378322.post-65941781943726044342012-01-15T11:10:00.004-06:002012-01-15T11:15:40.006-06:00Juice #1: Carrot Tang<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgHpWIvuPBtSxgybGRub9_tNmDn4KoK0DrPIjudTYQgrMxhC8VJZH4JzA0Eb_56xNgF90jfVaCZ_CSQm7yF6w3fRIT4L_KBHKvN4Lu3UYuU5Sy2f8xlKiu9C07Ct6YIVA6ALIa2fosMfQ/s1600/carrot+tang.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimgHpWIvuPBtSxgybGRub9_tNmDn4KoK0DrPIjudTYQgrMxhC8VJZH4JzA0Eb_56xNgF90jfVaCZ_CSQm7yF6w3fRIT4L_KBHKvN4Lu3UYuU5Sy2f8xlKiu9C07Ct6YIVA6ALIa2fosMfQ/s400/carrot+tang.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697908148599832594" /></a><br />My first juice with my juicer!

Of course that explains me perfectly! I'm always so tired and never have energy so I figured I'd give the old Doc a shot. In this show he talks about how none of us eat right, shocker!!! lol!<br /><br />Halfway through the program Alton Brown comes on and introduces the way he lost weight and kept it off by eating healthy foods. He explained exactly <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/alton-browns-superfood-list">what foods we should have daily and what foods to completely avoid.</a> It was very interesting!!! <br /><br />We've been giving his little lists a shot and I'm feeling better about my food choices.

So yummy!!!<br /><br />Ingredients:<br />1/2 cup cold butter<br />1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® oatmeal cookie mix<br />1 egg<br />1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)<br />2 teaspoons grated lemon peel<br />1/4 cup lemon juice<br /><br /><br />Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.<br /><br />In large bowl, cut butter into cookie mix, using fork or pastry blender. Stir in egg until mixture is crumbly. Press half of cookie mixture into bottom of pan; bake 15 minutes.<br /><br />In small bowl, stir condensed milk, lemon peel and lemon juice until thick. Spread over baked crust. Crumble remaining cookie mixture over top. Bake about 25 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until set. For bars, cut into 5 rows by 5 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.<br /><br />Tips:<br />You'll need 2 medium lemons to get 1/4 cup juice.<br /><br />Cut bars into bite-size squares and serve in mini paper cups.<br /><br />Use fresh lemon juice for the best lemon flavorToni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673890764579378322.post-43803488005937590442011-03-23T20:26:00.007-05:002011-03-23T20:52:35.635-05:00Allergies....i'm sick of you.

Living in South Louisiana this time of year is a nightmare for me. :( I've tried everything...benedryl, Allegra, Zyrtec, nose sprays, Chlortabs, neti pots (which help a ton), and any other allergy medicine you can think of. The only thing I have not done is have allergy testing but that's definitely in my future! Neti pots have been a great relief except that when I use them too often I get ear congestion so I can't use this method daily. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to tree pollen......especially Ligustrums! Thanks to every Tom, Dick and Harry for planting these in your yard...almost every allergy sufferer is allergic to these trees!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpXL0t6MsFbFXgnfuPCOzJMDsVDRInQCjOJ_PU8BIXPcPIZbVAO7FaDQDKyUospPmd_qoJybV3PAsfUd1GnpYcA36u_Id-Rmo93Bnl4Pt36vAwsXYnu8XgI91jVSN3lNHgJo44BUWa0-KU/s1600/ligustrum.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpXL0t6MsFbFXgnfuPCOzJMDsVDRInQCjOJ_PU8BIXPcPIZbVAO7FaDQDKyUospPmd_qoJybV3PAsfUd1GnpYcA36u_Id-Rmo93Bnl4Pt36vAwsXYnu8XgI91jVSN3lNHgJo44BUWa0-KU/s400/ligustrum.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587452995497970850" /></a><br /><br />We went to Drug Emporium yesterday and found this stuff:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizSKCmqlyJbtNNozZ5Xgc1AtWlGBlPWPymbZe6al3HdZILXKyV_wH5tyDDdqk3PkW-01J8ltyiLRb1Lsmukiu6KU7T2ERIIBrXtPGv1UtcrnkbnNE5n59Skwj-g09NhDr1WPd42WhpYkL7/s1600/allergy+drops.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizSKCmqlyJbtNNozZ5Xgc1AtWlGBlPWPymbZe6al3HdZILXKyV_wH5tyDDdqk3PkW-01J8ltyiLRb1Lsmukiu6KU7T2ERIIBrXtPGv1UtcrnkbnNE5n59Skwj-g09NhDr1WPd42WhpYkL7/s400/allergy+drops.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587451869189523250" /></a><br /><br />I decided that for $9 it was worth a try and so far it's worked like a charm...for the past 28 hours. It's a sublingual drop that tastes like vodka (check out the alcohol content on the label) but not half as bad as swallowing Nyquil. I haven't had any side effects like I do with every other allergy medication and especially NO DROWSINESS!!!! yay! I'm crossing my fingers that this little bottle continues its magic! I sneezed once today instead of 40 times like usual. I even checked the pollen count and saw that for the next 4 days it'll be in the "very high" range. The next few days will prove if it works or not. I'll update later! I hope this post can help others with allergies. Maybe this product can help you too. :)Toni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673890764579378322.post-35980621214315271622011-02-27T18:47:00.006-06:002011-02-27T18:52:36.077-06:00My favorite dress of the night...Oscars 2011worn by Scarlett Johansson.<br /><br />What a great color choice!!!

It's quick, easy and tastes so good. <br /><br />Here's the recipe:<br /><br />1 fryer, cut up (or a bag of chicken thighs or breasts)<br />1 envelope dry onion soup mix<br />1 can cream of mushroom soup <br />1/2 can water <br />1 stalk celery chopped<br />1 bell pepper chopped<br />1 tablespoon kitchen bouquet (I use more because I LOVE the flavor and the dark gravy!)<br />chopped onion tops (handful)<br />chopped parsley (handful) <br />optional: onions...i love love love onions so i added 2 small chopped ones to this recipe! <br /><br />Heat oven @ 350 degrees. Spray 9 x 13 baking pan with nonstick spray, place chicken in single layer. Season to taste (if you like things spicy, this is the time to add a little cayenne!). Combine remaining ingredients together in a bowl and pour over chicken. Bake for about an hour and 15 minutes covered. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes and Enjoy!Toni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673890764579378322.post-36773634562371047682011-01-16T15:26:00.008-06:002011-01-16T15:47:54.033-06:00My first sewing project: Mccall's Pattern M5544; Dog hoodie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN8i9rbXd2s1YEvU6dAPHvLwRbcW3BF7VGouicExWNgkQupU7U6hBa2ekWeAH0UcjYIGdXXVVkYEozfut-IYVvegDCQAh7O1BsuN9-qhwswKIIGG0AARunyEHVM-utE9JTKHY0KI9IUWkV/s1600/mccall+pattern.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 336px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN8i9rbXd2s1YEvU6dAPHvLwRbcW3BF7VGouicExWNgkQupU7U6hBa2ekWeAH0UcjYIGdXXVVkYEozfut-IYVvegDCQAh7O1BsuN9-qhwswKIIGG0AARunyEHVM-utE9JTKHY0KI9IUWkV/s400/mccall+pattern.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562898905916083650" /></a><br /><br /><br />I picked this pattern up at Hobby Lobby one day while the McCall's patterns were on sale for 99 cents. The paw printed fleece was in the clearance bin for $3. I've been wanting to get in to sewing for quite some time and knew this might be the perfect starter pattern. It is really hard to find dog patterns for a 50 pound pup! I could have used an extra inch or two but it still fits him. With my wonderful (experienced) mom helping to guide me, I finished this today!!! It is much cuter than I imagined and am going to tinker with the pattern and materials on the next hoodie now that I know what i'm doing. <br /><br />Don't be fooled, Koda is quite thrilled....really.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCSmnAlEO7ybQ-4V6MYJcPf7vPVs9OOkiS5sizrjTzIiKy-18bCLqciY0WZ0rJwWtOx8kAsvmSKAu_w_LFTAvqL7VWz6UVhHx6BesiCE3gywrlfrXKrO66sMbumK0y3FpPN1SLGd1dHkU/s1600/photo+1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCSmnAlEO7ybQ-4V6MYJcPf7vPVs9OOkiS5sizrjTzIiKy-18bCLqciY0WZ0rJwWtOx8kAsvmSKAu_w_LFTAvqL7VWz6UVhHx6BesiCE3gywrlfrXKrO66sMbumK0y3FpPN1SLGd1dHkU/s400/photo+1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562900542072589746" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRoSoHPOBAD3ehcW0q1QvfKRcSizj1DmpPP4ULVUDdmLv-Hk5mEZRO2-U1ifOkw4UNbzrpYtVUuL9d_BEASTvro6s7OHpOIy8Ena-gA7CHL8GyFwt2ksO5IMoq4gQLcnbdZooNPIrvWU8/s1600/photo+3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKRoSoHPOBAD3ehcW0q1QvfKRcSizj1DmpPP4ULVUDdmLv-Hk5mEZRO2-U1ifOkw4UNbzrpYtVUuL9d_BEASTvro6s7OHpOIy8Ena-gA7CHL8GyFwt2ksO5IMoq4gQLcnbdZooNPIrvWU8/s400/photo+3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562899238089466866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHwDLsH91aLHG1czJ7rXeDUZ2t9RwiepwE0T0kzCs2yPDMlhcrxjrWDoAtng0ooJJKGtB9BOhgzACZPjFt_H2LuP5bh6hla6OMaA-WRgyi6AtX4N_q4oyl3SbPZu61i7a27WeelgFnUFQh/s1600/photo+5.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHwDLsH91aLHG1czJ7rXeDUZ2t9RwiepwE0T0kzCs2yPDMlhcrxjrWDoAtng0ooJJKGtB9BOhgzACZPjFt_H2LuP5bh6hla6OMaA-WRgyi6AtX4N_q4oyl3SbPZu61i7a27WeelgFnUFQh/s400/photo+5.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562899043907498706" /></a>Toni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673890764579378322.post-56491267900091195532011-01-02T14:14:00.002-06:002011-01-02T14:16:33.442-06:00Funny Video of the day, Aussies are silly!Koda is always obsessed with water (except for when he gets a bath, go figure!).

Bake for 15-20 minutes (I baked for 16 minutes using the convection feature on my new Smart Oven) on a greased baking sheet until lightly brown.

I never took my eyes off the screen (unlike the first 2). I could have watched the movie and not read the book and never missed a thing. My advice? Skip this book and watch the movie instead. I'm looking forward to Breaking Dawn (the last movie)! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYt6SoSAGNkpMhRWQH-lLD5PP9Z0FZxDYqEwD7xf9SwgB9gSQpOC2oxlLH2KgwSRI16vqGgxbuXBGi1j5LCNX3eTcSgqMb1rrYS0tpRM3EzqNSRZeCgZlLSc22gHOOv5TWEDRMe7QO8WBV/s1600/kristen+stewart.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYt6SoSAGNkpMhRWQH-lLD5PP9Z0FZxDYqEwD7xf9SwgB9gSQpOC2oxlLH2KgwSRI16vqGgxbuXBGi1j5LCNX3eTcSgqMb1rrYS0tpRM3EzqNSRZeCgZlLSc22gHOOv5TWEDRMe7QO8WBV/s400/kristen+stewart.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552158282276732802" /></a>Toni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673890764579378322.post-63510876566627146962010-12-19T07:28:00.000-06:002010-12-19T07:28:00.158-06:00Movie Review: Drag Me to Hell<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIXnOcjad46_TmRX6kPamTC8Co93WH5SdeVR4zSBUICskh5IFfabPbu5HgG9a_UH3pVByfSrM7uFy59MbYdLxdc88f-9SII3l3v_xYY4UO7XSrhoIRFIj_cKOv8DVY8kuNFpkY5xPuZYp/s1600/drag.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIXnOcjad46_TmRX6kPamTC8Co93WH5SdeVR4zSBUICskh5IFfabPbu5HgG9a_UH3pVByfSrM7uFy59MbYdLxdc88f-9SII3l3v_xYY4UO7XSrhoIRFIj_cKOv8DVY8kuNFpkY5xPuZYp/s400/drag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552152860652031170" /></a><br /><br />I have to say that I definitely thought this was going to be a cheesy scary movie but ended up being impressed by the surprisingly comical and gross parts! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDInOA9bGMBc2W0JcoUH1fU0nIdpaLMzdB4066qa4Sgy14wH4bAsOICcycNpyGg5VBRRF9vKCdscRn_GOZfPP0BJVmADQvJp-3E3-aRGNQhgVY5a0t1ChBVVEXWFj8Z2aaOXKeeDs3uF-p/s1600/drag+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDInOA9bGMBc2W0JcoUH1fU0nIdpaLMzdB4066qa4Sgy14wH4bAsOICcycNpyGg5VBRRF9vKCdscRn_GOZfPP0BJVmADQvJp-3E3-aRGNQhgVY5a0t1ChBVVEXWFj8Z2aaOXKeeDs3uF-p/s400/drag+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552154751195712850" /></a><br />It all starts when Christine Brown, a loan officer, denies this old creepy woman for an extension on a loan on her home. The old woman gets angry with her and puts a curse on her by grabbing a button off of her coat (silly, i know). The curse follows her around and a demon tries to take her soul and just when she thinks she's finally beaten it let's just say...the shit hits the fan. It was so much better of a movie than I thought and I actually watched it twice. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_0JgLXyvAp06x3RF5RfQ16HqLsZIHfFGlsmFWAkwn4XND7gXdOr5HU4j9Y8kvE4AHUROTvyPOoy0w6DIbPvc7xLu66L_eRXp4GcV64782ePwQwQwKF2_I9N4kN9AOldP-0xKu8ScfXo4v/s1600/drag3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_0JgLXyvAp06x3RF5RfQ16HqLsZIHfFGlsmFWAkwn4XND7gXdOr5HU4j9Y8kvE4AHUROTvyPOoy0w6DIbPvc7xLu66L_eRXp4GcV64782ePwQwQwKF2_I9N4kN9AOldP-0xKu8ScfXo4v/s400/drag3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552154953831885762" /></a><br /><br />I won't ruin the ending but I have to say that the part where she's in the rain digging is by far my favorite part and if you watch it, you'll appreciate the comedy.

Add rotel and cream cheese until all melted together. Serve with chips or triscuits!

He was the founder of Kid ID, a child identification card that I believe will help save thousands of children in the near future. I am truly saddened by his death and feel it so unfair that someone chose to take his life. I will always remember his smile and his welcoming heart and feel truly honored to have known him.

He's introduced me to some really yummy things and one of them being my favorite cookie (tied for first place with Quizno's Snickerdoodle for $2 each, ouch!) the Pepperidge Farm Sannibel Snickerdoodle is my #1 fav! It's moist and chewy with just enough cinnamon and at about $4 a pack I consider that a much better deal than at Quizno's! Move out the way Oreo, there's a new cookie in town. <br /><br />Warning: You must have milk with this product! ;) I consider that a good warning.Toni Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00818159832894257183noreply@blogger.com0
