When You Rearrange The Letters

My husband shared this with me recently, and I thought it was great, probably because I love words. Rearrange the letters of the following words or phrases to come up with new words.

DORMITORY = DIRTY ROOM

PRESBYTERIAN = BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER = MOON STARER

DESPERATION = A ROPE ENDS IT

THE EYES = THEY SEE

GEORGE BUSH = HE BUGS GORE

THE MORSE CODE = HERE COME DOTS

SLOT MACHINES = CASH LOST IN ME

ANIMOSITY = IS NO AMITY

ELECTION RESULTS = LIES-LET’S RECOUNT

SNOOZE ALARMS = ALAS! NO MORE Z’S

A DECIMAL POINT = I M A DOT IN PLACE

THE EARTHQUAKES = THAT QUEER SHAKE

ELEVEN PLUS TWO = TWELVE PLUS ONE

AND FOR THE GRAND FINALE……………..

 

MOTHER-IN-LAW = HITLER WOMAN

If you have a mother-in-law, I hope this isn’t true.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

 

A Watched Pot Never Boils?

Whoever said “a watched pot never boils” has never made peanut brittle!

The stuff boils and boils for a good 20 minutes before it is done, and then comes the fun part. You add a little butter, baking soda and salt to the mixture and stir like crazy. Then you rush around like a mad woman, spooning the mixture into pie tins as fast as you can so it does not burn, because it’s still cooking in that hot pot. The results – stronger arm muscles, a wonderful aroma that fills the air(providing you haven’t burned it) and something that makes a good fundraiser for the cooler autumn months. I have heard some firmly attest also that the golden streets of heaven are really going to be paved with peanut brittle. Sweet!

 

There’s Hope For Me!

I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m not the spoon either.

 

I Hope You Break Out Today

What Is It?

What is this blurry mess sitting in the pot on top of my stove? Would anyone like to take a guess? I’ll give you a hint. It’s not edible. So you won’t be forever wondering, I’ll let you know what it is in my next post. Bye bye for now!

 

I Fly Through The Church With The Greatest Of Ease….

There has been a whole lot of renovating going on at our church lately. We are in the process of getting ready to knock out a couple of pillars in the sanctuary to make room to install some pews. My husband and son were down at the church last night taping down this stuff on the carpet. I think it’s called Masonite board or something like that. I’m definitely a dumb blonde when it comes to things related to construction. Anyway, my daughter and I went down to the church last night to bring them something to eat. While we were there, Paul showed us how cool it was to be able to slide across the Masonite board in his socks. It kind of reminded me of the Slip and Slide (that ruined our grass)that we had when the kids were little. I told him I wouldn’t mind giving it a try, but I did not have any socks on my feet. He suggested a way I could try it – sit down on the board and he would push me across. I just had to try it, and Jen decided it would be one of those “Kodak moments” via my cell phone camera. Renovations can be kind of stressful, but it’s nice when in the midst of it all, your inner child can have a bit of fun.

 

A Most Dangerous Dessert

I got this recipe recently through an e-mail and tried it today. It’s perfect for two people to share or 1 person that really has a chocolate craving. We put whipped cream on top of ours, and they were very good.

Cake in a Cup
Or 5-Minute Cake
Ingredients: 4 T. flour 4 T. sugar 2 T. cocoa 1 egg 3 T. milk 3 T. oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) A small splash of vanilla extract 1 large coffee mug (microwavable)
Directions: Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.  Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired, or just add cool whip or frosting and eat out of the cup.
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night

My daugher Jen tagged me to do the following game. I figured since we are related, I’d better respond. Here goes.

1. Pick up the closest book next to you.
2. Open it to page 50.
3. Go down to the second paragraph
4. Type in the first 4 lines.
5. Tag 5 people.

Here is mine:  I just happened to have a songbook next to me, and page 50 is Onward Christian Soldiers

Like a mighty army moves the church of God

Brothers we are treading where the saints have trod;

We are not divided, all one body we;

One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.

I now tag the following people to participate in this little game. If you decide not to, I will still love you.

The Heavens Just Opened!

This morning, I was scurrying about getting ready for my 8:15 a.m. session with J.T. Running a little behind schedule, I decided to leave my hair down, pulled back in a scrunched pony tail instead of wearing it up as I usually do. The weather here has been extremely yucky for the past few days with lots of rain and strong winds. Even as I was preparing to leave it was pouring out and the winds were quite gusty. Five minutes before I was going to head out the door, I was going through a mental checklist to see if I had everything I needed – cell phone-check,reading glasses-check, car keys-check. It was then that it happened. My cell phone rung. It was the office. I picked up the phone, and it was the office administrator. I was informed that my client’s father had cancelled the session for this morning. The heavens opened! I almost pinched myself to see if it was real. Whenever a client cancels with less than 24 hours notice, we can still bill for the first hour, so even though this 2 hour session was cancelled, I can still bill for one hour. I went and finished my Bible reading for the day(which I had started earlier this morning but didn’t finish), and now I’m sitting here dry and untouched by the wind typing this glorious post. Thank God for last minute pleasant surprises!

 

Good Old Medicine

I am feeling about as spiritual as a cucumber, and I need a break from heavy duty posts, so this one is going to be lighthearted.  It does us good to laugh, and I even have Scripture to back that up.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs 17:22

One thing that my family and I really enjoy are puns. A couple of weeks ago, my son was online looking at puns and at times laughing hysterically. He began to share his findings with us, and it just turned into an evening of great mirth. I’m going to share some of the ones I really liked, saving my favorite for last. Go ahead and smile and laugh today. It just might make someone else’s day too, and it increases your face value.
