You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained |
 The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |

So, apparently You Tube has lost its fascination for me! Hello, random quizzes!
Sounds like me.....uhh, at least some of it...
What Erin Means |
 You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. |
The FLU...
has raised its mallet-like head in my house. And hit me with it. HARD. I spent all day yesterday in bed...poor Kiernan spent the ENTIRE day pretty much hanging out in my bed with me, watching various videos on our little portable DVD player. I did a lot of sleeping, or trying to sleep, because, really, the little blue dog that so fascinates Kiernan is truly capable of melting MY brain. And frankly, my head hurt enough already...thank you very much!
I am feeling a LOT better today, although I am definitely not 100%. I think a lot of my recovery is due to Makeshift Mama's Cold Remedy. Check it out!

FUNNY!
My friend Ken sent me this you tube video on my facebook account! I thought I'd share it with you!
What Were They Thinking?
Yummy Hamburger Soup
Okay, I LOVE hamburger soup. There's just something about it that makes it seem so "homey". It's awesome to have a pot of this simmering away on the stove for dinner on a busy winter night. I like to serve mine with fresh bread or biscuits...or, sometimes, to make Sterling really happy, cheese toast!
Here's the ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
4 cups water
1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 medium carrots, sliced into thin rounds
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed into small chunks
1 medium to large onion, chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 beef bouillion cubes, or equivalent amount of beef base
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 tsp dried oregano
2 cups or more of sweet frozen corn
In a large stockpot, brown beef and drain well. Add all ingredients except for corn, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or so, until your potatoes and carrots are fork tender. At this point add your corn, and cover and simmer for about 10 minutes until the corn is cooked.
Eat and be REALLY happy!
Uganda 2008
(You may have to click the space above this message on the left had side to get the widget to pop up, and you may have to click "read" twice to get the listings of bloggers participating in this program.) Compassion International sent this bunch of bloggers to Uganda to blog about conditions in Africa as well as the relief efforts brought about by Compassion International through child sponsorship. PLEASE take a moment and read some of these blogs....all of them truly are great, and will make you really stop to think about what our responsibility is to others on this planet. The bloggers are back now, so scroll through their blogs to see their blogs written on location in Africa. It will break your heart...and hopefully start you thinking about what you can do to help.

The 30 Day Sex Challenge...
Oh yes, it's true. Now even the church is telling all us married people to get busy!
30 Day Sex Challenge
Maybe this could be the cure for the "Februaries" I've been experiencing? It's possible if I can stop laughing long enough I MAY find out.
I told Sterling he'd someday find some meaning in religion!

Speaking of chocolate...
Here's a recipe form Sandra at "Full Bellies, Happy Kids" for a dessert that looks AWESOME. And totally NOT in my Points range for the day:( (Scroll down the page until you get to "Triple Chocolate Mess".)
Triple Chocolate Mess

A DNA Test May Be In Order....
because my daughter actually said to me today, "I don't like this cookie...it's TOO chocolatey". I looked at her and thought...WHAT? Who is this kid? Certainly she CAN'T be my daughter! 'Cuz the great craving/love/desire/addiction to chocolate runs strong through my family. Even in the guys. Oh yes, it's not just us ladies, the men are affected too. Just ask Kiernan....who is already the world's youngest hot chocolate junkie. Or my grandpa who LOVES chocolate, and is the happiest guy in the world upon receiving a nice box of chocolates for his birthday/christmas/valentine's day/whenever. It's a serious genetic inheritance. Of course, I guess Kamryn COULD take after her daddy...who really doesn't care much about chocolate, but the whole IDEA of it just leaves me shaking my head in absolute disbelief.
Good thing she looks just like I did as a kid, or I would be SERIOUSLY concerned.

Ahhh...the problem is...
FIXED! Yay! I never did get an email back from said internet security company yet, but wonder of wonders, blogspot addresses are again coming up as normal blog pages. WHOO HOO! This whole thing was FREAKING me out! So, back to your regularly scheduled blogging!

I've been tagged....
by Heather over at Life As We Know It. Yes, it's a "6 Things You Maybe Don't Know About Me" meme....and since I don't have a ton of friends who I really KNOW who blog...don't worry, I'm not tagging anyone else! But, hey, if you're reading, and you want to....consider yourself tagged. Just link back to me and leave me a comment somewhere telling me you did it, ok? Here goes:
1. I'm Canadian. Nope, I'm not a US citizen, although I am a legal permanent resident.
2. I paid an enormous amount of money and jumped through approximately 400 hoops to become a legal resident of the United States. I can honestly tell you that immigration paperwork is confusing and EXPENSIVE.
3. While I love the United States, and realize it has been VERY GOOD to me and my family...I still miss Canada.
4. I also miss perogies, cabbage rolls, ketchup chips, Smarties, coffee crisps, our family farm, seeing my parents and sisters whenever I want to, horses, ski-dooing, tobogganing at Durston Hill, ice fishing, ice cold apricot brandy that has been chilled in a snowbank beside a roaring fire, moose meat, curling, Clear Lake, the Duck Mountains, Riding Mountain Provincial Park, and the Boulevard bar packed full of people I know. And some I wish I didn't.
5. I LOVE to fish. Immensely.
6. I despise beer. Even the Great Canadian beers...unless they are mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with tomato juice. Then...beer's pretty awesome!

A clip of my favorite Canadian show...now being shown here in the US on WGN. It is my desire to get you all hooked!MUUAAAHAHAHAH!
