Ustream has changed their layout. I don't like it!

I don't like the new layout. I used to be able to find shows that I wanted to watch with the scrolling bar. Yeah, it might not have been that effective but I was used to it!! Dang. :(

Fourth of July, Recipes and Canada Day

So I get an email from my sister wondering what we are doing for the 4th. I figured we'd clean out my mom's garage and get ready for a yard sale. She's tired of looking at all the rest of my stuff that won't fit in my apartment. So, we have this great lineup of activities. I bought some fireworks... so we are going to have our own little program, and I plan on playing my kid's favorite CD along with it so maybe it will seem like this big awesome thing. Not to compete with Miley Cyrus and the Stadium of Fire 2008 @ Lavell Edwards Stadium... but I can't afford the tickets! So we will do our own and I'll dress like Hanna Montana. Kidding. I can't afford to go anywhere, either. My mom heard that by December gas will be $7/gal. I was talking to a girl at work and she said she might start digging in her backyard for oil since gas is so expensive with no relief in sight... and it reminded me of this:

So if anyone has suggestions on how to survive with the rising costs of energy, I'm all ears.


I have a great recipe we'll be doing this week for The Brownie Show, so please make sure and tune in. I'm always up for trying new things, so if you've got a brownie recipe you don't dare try, or one that is your favorite that you'd like to share, please send it to me and we can include it in a future episode.

I'm also looking for pasta recipes to be in a new show. Please send your favorites!

Questions? Comments? Feel free to write.

PS: Happy Canada Day. I ate pancakes & Canadian Bacon with maple syrup while humming O Canada. Friday, I will be singing all US patriotic songs. Move over Shania. Watch my stream, you might catch me making a fool of myself! (There's a copy at the bottom of my blog)

What should I do for a second job?

I'm wondering how in the world I am going to make ends meet. Gas has gone up so high, and I have a V6 engine. I'd do anything to trade the thing in for some little 4 cyl.

I am also thinking of going back to school, but I don't know what courses to take. I am having a hard time with my kids as it is, I'm away from home too much I think.

Enough rambling for 1:30 am I guess.

Oh, about the Brownie Show.... We've had some things going on here lately that has made it so I haven't been able to stay up late making brownies. But we will be doing it this weekend, we are making Rocky Road brownies, so mark your calendars!!
