Danger Zone!

Kenny Loggins... Eerie coincidence?

So, this picture was in a magazine selling items for Christians. All that i could think of when i saw this picture of what is supposed to be Jesus, was Richard Marx, with a beard. I showed my husband when he came home, and all he could think of was Kenny Loggins!

So, here we have a shepherd of the Danger Zone, Holding on to the Night?
sorry... couldn't resist.

Really, we need to stop trying to draw what Jesus looked like. NO ONE knows! And this picture is for sure ONE reason why. I mean, really... the guy who drew this pic could have very easily used a picture of Kenny Loggins for his "model"!

Just for fun, here is a pic of Richard Marx...

Here's a little "bit" for ya: 

One of my sons had to take a quiz on the Middle Colonies. 

There was a question where he had to type in the answer.

The question was: How would you describe a Quaker, and who was the leader of the Quakers? 

His response? Shaky, and William Penn was the leader of the Quakers in America. 

All i could do was shake my head and laugh...and re-assign the question! 

Hot! Hot! HOT!

We really like habanero peppers. Well, actually, we like to torture ourselves with hot foods. That being said, i grew habaneros again this year. they are one of the hottest in the chili pepper family. 

Yesterday i was slicing my peppers in half so that i could dry them in the oven. Like a good hot-pepper-cutter, i wore gloves. You know? the yellow kitchen gloves that are good for everything? 

The peppers were all halved and put on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Popped them in the oven, washed off the gloves, took them off, and went on with my day. 

Awhile later, my son was talking to me. I rubbed my eye with my finger, and BAM!!! Burn, baby, burn!!! My eye was on FIRE! The capsaicin from the blasted habanero went THROUGH my glove!!!!!!!! 

After a few minutes of furiously blinking, the pain started to subside. Poor Jey was standing at the sink with me saying, "I sure hope you feel better mom..." over and over. 

i don't even want to think of what would have happened if i hadn't had gloves on! 

The happy ending: the peppers are all dried now and ready for use at a later date!! 

Thankfully, NOT YET!

A friend sent this to me this morning. It was too funny to NOT pass on, though i am sure some of you have probably seen it on....... FACEBOOK ;)

Thankfully, it is not this bad!

A Reversible Confession

source

okay. i have a confession to make. I have just learned how to use a reversible belt. i am 38 years old.

About a month ago, i purchased a reversible belt for $20, instead of paying over $40 for two belts: one black and one brown. Feeling pretty good about saving some money, it never dawned on me that i didn't get how it worked.

Once home, i was playing with it, trying to figure it out. To my dismay, i realized that i must have purchased a broken one, because there was no way to turn the buckle part around to get it to flip. I sadly put it back in the bag, knowing that one more trip to the store was needed.

Later that night, i confessed to my hubby that i had to take my new belt back, since it was clearly mislabeled and was not reversible. With a smirk on his snerk, he took the belt, pulled the buckle a bit, and then, amazingly, twisted it around  (you can see how it twists in the pic if you are like me and didn't know)!

IT WORKED!

I literally stood amazed that he knew how to do it. He felt pretty good, and i had found, once again, a hero in my husband. He also saved me vast amounts of embarrassment, being that i didn't have to go return the silly thing. i can only imagine what the clerks would have said upon my exiting the store! 

i have lived for this long having no clue how reversible belts worked!

wonderful little things.

the strange part? almost every time i put it on (which is every day), i am still baffled at how cool reversible belts are.

Short trip to happy? YOU BET (~:
