There’s nothing worse than having your phone ring constantly. It seems that your phone just won’t stop ringing! I know It’s happened to me before. Perhaps this same annoying 1-800 number keeps calling you. You answer and find that it is those annoying telemarketers! Whatever they were trying to sell My Mom used to always tell them, “Nope, sorry” and hang up the phone. You don’t have to keep getting these pesky telemarketer calls! Log onto AnnoyingCallers.com to look at why and who might be calling you from that certain number that keeps popping up on your caller ID. Then you can finally see about stopping the constant calling from those annoying telemarketers. We all want peace in our home and a ringing phone can cause unwanted stress espically from a number you don’t know. If you have more than one annoying caller you can also look up others on the AnnoyingCallers.com website.

I’m still a child at heart when It comes to cartoons! I will sit and watch just about any cartoon even now! What can I say? I’m a sucker for cartoons. Speaking of cartoons, have you heard of the cartoon called The Sproutwells? It’s about a veggie family who is just trying to fit into a human world. You can catch The Sproutwells on YouTube!

In this clip the Sproutwells get a new pet named Fido! I have to say Fido is my favorite. What can be better than a veggie doggie? Haha! Check out the video for a little laugh or atleast a bit of amusement. Feel free to show off the Sproutwells video on your blog too! Once you’ve done that go to freshfunds for more ripening ideas! With fresh funds you can eat Chiquita and Fresh Express products to save money and get reward points. With these reward points buy awesome products or bid on items. I would personally bid on the Wii fit for myself.

I was just reading about Hurricane Gustav and Louisiana. They are getting everyone out of there – which is awesome. BUT. Some people are actually wanting to stay? Ummmm. Are you out of your mind??? I told Brad about it and he said there would be NO doubt that If we knew a hurricane was headed our way soon we would be OUT of there! Use *COMMON SENSE* people! You want to live? Yes? You like your life? Yes? Then leave town when a hurricane is said to be headed your way, duh! My biological Mom lives somewhere in Louisiana so I hope she can get somewhere safe If she’s in the path of it.

Here in NW Alabama we might get a bit of Gustav’s wrath somewhere between Monday and Wednesday. It’s said that we’ll get tropical storm like winds, rain and possibly even tornadoes. Eesh! I really hope everyone on the coast in Louisiana and Mississippi can get out of there before It hits. Please call your friends and relatives If they live along the coast to make SURE they know what’s coming their way.

I need some cheering up =( Just so frustrated. I wish Brad could get a job NOW. Yeah yeah blah blah they all say the time will come BLAH BLAH. I mean what If that time is half a year? UGH. Just want to bang my head against the wall.

GRRR. I also want to see Mom. Christmas will be a year since I’ve last seen her. It would cost us about $200+ between gas, food and etc to go visit her. Also, we managed to get all our bills paid but Brad might have went a little negative in his bank account. Hooray!

I just want to crawl in a hole and hide.

I was born in Louisiana and definetly have cajun in my background. I really love spicy, zesty foods and espically shrimp. Any kind of shrimp will do just fine for me! I try to get shrimp whenever I can. My favorite though would have to be fried shrimp. I tend to get a lot of that when we eat at the Chinese restaurant here in our town. The coconut shrimp is also very, very delicious. Speaking of shrimp, there is a great shrimp and andouille cassoulet recipe by Chef Brian Landry who is also from Louisiana! You can check out his great recipe at Great American Seafood Cookoff. Please stop by www.GreatAmericanSeafoodCookOff.com and see the other recipes in the cook off and cast your top vote of the 5 and you can enter to win a trip to good ole New Orleans! I know I’d like to take a trip back to New Orleans where I was born. The shrimp and andouille cassoulet sounds absolutley delicious. It has sausage and Louisiana shrimp in a white bean casserole which makes my mouth water. With Louisiana shrimp you can’t go wrong with such a fresh great taste from domestic seafood.

Why not try out one of those top recipes for yourself and experience a new taste! Who doesn’t love delicious food?? I know I do!! Who knows what you can whip up in the kitchen when you really get to it. Sometimes I’m really in the mood to cook up a big meal. I still need to get more recipies from my own Mom to try out some of her more famous dishes so maybe I can keep the tradition of that meal going. Recipes are great to keep going in a family so It can be passed down generation after generation.

OK. If anyone comes upon this post, please respond. I’m interested to see everyone’s responses. I hope you won’t turn your eyes away from this post but to respond and share.

Are you religious?
If so, what religion are you?
Do you believe in God?
Any comments on religion?

I’m not trying to bring on a debate, just interested in others religion in general. Don’t think I’ve talked much on here about my religion. I used to not be very religious. I believed in God but that was as far as I took it. Brad has opened my eyes to religion and I am very thankful for that. If you don’t know this – Brad and I recently were baptized and converted to Mormons. I’m very open about religion now and hope that everyone is happy in their choice of religion because you should follow what you find in your heart is best. If you haven’t found a religion as I hadn’t (my family is baptist but I wasn’t brought up going to church so I didn’t really know much about religion or anything) then you must research and search your heart but If you don’t try you won’t find what you may need to bring you the most happiness. I hope I don’t offend anyone with this post on religion but since I have found religion It has made a very big positive impact on my life and I wanted to share my joy with you. Thank you If you read this post and I hope that you will search and search well for a journey that will lead you in the best direction.

UGH. Just want to rant a little…. money is evil. So very evil. I just wish the world didn’t totally and utterly revolve around money. Brad still hasn’t heard from any of the jobs he’s applied for and he’s applied for quite a few. He’s applied for the nursing home, Subway, the various plants in town, meter reader and I think a few more. We can’t keep going like we are.. something needs to come up. I’m trying my best to get more work online so PLEASE send out positive JOB thoughts for us. Ugh.. I do not like this at all.

Stupid money..
