Tip Thursday

When adding contact numbers to your cell phone for a person or place you call the most, enter an A, a space and finally the name or place of the contact.
When I open my "Contacts" the list looks like this
A Amie
A Eric
A Mick.
It is so convenient to have their names appear right at the beginning of the list rather than searching for them alphabetically.

Happy Birthdays

Happy Birthday Eric!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!

Kristen had a birthday last week. She also had gifts to open.

I made a scrapbook for them to share.
I've been downstate since last Thursday. Did you miss GEL-Oh?

Tip Thursday

The shadow at work & avoiding being on the blog.
The fourth time we've, you know what I mean by "we", painted the door. The first time it was taken off the hinges for the painting.
I've learned a lesson with door color. The tip for Thursday, always go darker, much darker than what you think when choosing a color for an exterior door on a home.

Is it SPRING yet?

You say tomato....

I say, I have a favor to ask.
In the March 2009 issue of Country Living there was an article on pincushions. They showed the below jar filled with red tomato pin cushions.
A jar filled with red tomato pincushions would look great on display in my kitchen. I currently posses 2, only 2. So, if you are at a garage sale, Salvation Army store, the Jewish Women's Thrift store in LA, etc, etc & see any for sale, please think of me. I will gladly pay you back.

Sports Saturday

It was a great sports day on Saturday. Mike, Terri, Mick & I watched both the SU basketball and football teams win. The basketball team played a great game. They need to keep it going now that the tournaments are starting. You are wondering about the SU football teams win? We watched The Express. If you haven't' seen it. Go out & rent it. I LOVED it. It's based on the life of Ernie Davis & is a very inspiring story. I also tried a new recipe. I would defiantly make it again.
It was fun to make!
I would not make clusters the next time, I would keep each grape on it's own. I also used fat free cream cheese & lite mayo. Trying to keep fruit somewhat still good for you. I also only made half a batch. You could even cut that in half if you wanted.
If you ever do make the recipe, let me know what you think.
