I love people. I really do. I my rant & I my rave, that does not mean I have malice in my heart or pen. It was brought up to me by someone I hold the counsel of very highly, that I had said somethings here that would hurt others. I want everyone to know if you feel that way just tell me & I will retract the statement & make a public apology if you want. This is my soup box in a way. What I say here I hope to inspire people not hurt. Also you know anything I say here I so would say to your face & its nothing I have not said to your face. That is the type of person I am. I am not one to pull my punches & I don't expect others to ether. I want honesty. I need it if we are to have a relationship. I am not always going to like what you say, I may even hate it, but in the end I will respect you more if you hold your grown & tell me. I will also consider what you say. But then again I expect the same back. I have lost many people in my life because I was too "honest" with them. I am sorry I am not good at sugar coating things. I never have been & never will be. I am sorry if I am too honest for you. That's my point of view, take or leave it. Tell me I am wrong & explain, don't just go off in a huff & brewed about it. That does no one good. Anyone that knows me knows I am this way, you can also ask me anything & I will tell the truth about it. Lies never did anyone good & hurt more then help. (I am still working through the whole Santa & Easter bunny thing, what does bunnies have to do with Easter anyway?) Please, if you have issue with anything confront me, don't think there will be repercussion if you do. Well I can't say there will be none but we will both feel better & understand each other better. (N. This is not anything towards you. You made your point, I was just trying to get others if they have issue to come forward.)

Now that I am off that topic,  & on to others. I was playing Clay in WII bowling & I so beat him by 40+ points. Ya & he so beat me at golf. Who ever came up with the idea if gold was drunk! Wack the ball, walk a foot ball field, wack the ball, walk a foot ball field,then try & get it into the little hole. Ok, so I have made some impressive shots, LOL! I made a 36ft shot to the hole with the help of the pole. Clay quit the game after that. :D He still calls me the queen of impossible shots.

I am on my way to losing the 55lbs I need to lose. I am down 2lbs from this weekend. (Scrubbing till you fall over will do that.) I have been trying to make healthy food choices too. I made veggi bean soup today.

 
Ingredients:

• 2c. black beans (Or any dried beans you have soaked over night.)
• 4c beef stock ( You can make this dish vegetarian by using veggi stock instead)
• 1.5c Celery
• 1.5c Carrots 
• 1TB of diced ginger root
• 1TB Worcestershire sauce
• 1TB Soy sauce
• 2C cauliflower
• Chili flakes to taste (remember this is going to cook for 5-6hrs in a crock pot, so it will get spice the longer it cooks.)
• 1/2teaspoon of salt 
• 1/2TB of black pepper
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 cup chopped onion

Combine all ingredients, including beans in the cock-pot & heat on low for 5-6hrs.

Serve with sour cream & sharp cheddar cheese. Really good the next day baked into a Sheppard pie.
