You made me snort I laughed so hard.
And Kat, if your middle name ain't Louise, it will be now on this thread.
I can't wait...
OK so my middle name is Laura and the only carnitas I've had are from the reheatable section at Costco. I'm ready for my lashing.
Sign me up for lashings too!
Hmmmm.....
....Preferably with WHIPPED cream.
Morning from WDW, everyone! All is well down here, I just thought I would pop in and say howdy. CSR does, in fact, now have complimentary wi-fi. That is so nice! Anyway, here's a picture from Beaches and Cream for you
Good Morning!
Kathy Louise!I hope you're feeling better.
I have made pork carnitas in the crock pot and it was great. I have not looked at the recipe from the Texan website so I think I must.
I lost my whole train of thought...ugh! I am not feeling well the past couple days. I am really tired and have started peri menopause so I am a bit out of it. Not sure if its my lack of thyroid or what. I am learning to deal.
Lindsay, great picture! We love Beaches and Cream, especially the no way Jose!
Dinner tonight is TJs carne asada, rice and tossed salad.
I have a roaster chicken out that I will dry rub to cook tomorrow. I am trying to clean out the fridge, freezer and pantry. I buy too much stuff!
Have a great day all! I will try and BBL!
My kids bought me the IPhone and that made all the difference for me, They are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Holy Smokes! I am so glad it is over! Our entire area looked like a war zone. 100' trees snapped in half, huge limbs spanning the roads. Wires hanging and strewn all over the roads and lawns. A lot of trees seemed to just break in pieces, split down the middle of the trunk. We are lucky that our guys know how to handle the carnage, we still would probably be in the dark. The crews were forced to bypass streets that had too much damage on the lines or the streets but ours was cleaned up. One neighbor is an electrician so he took care of all the houses that he could and then showed Buddy and Dan how to reattach the lines to the houses where they pulled away. He had called the power company first and they said that he was not supposed to do it but "no one would be there to check". he called after so that they knew what was done and to know it was safe.
Brian used his excavator to haul the piles of branches off the street and to the landfill. Our other neighbor cut all of the trees and limbs on his side of the road so between them all we were in decent shape. He and Dan had plowed the roads in our little division to clear what they could before the town got here. It was crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 ft of snow in October at our house.
I have been following all of the FB posts each day about what you all are thankful for and I must add mine.
I am first thankful for Buddy. Our entire time during this mess would have been a different experience if not for him. I also am Blessed with the best family and friends a woman could ever wish for. I never needed to ask for anything, my children and their spouses were there first. Except for my bread meltdown they were ahead of me. There was no way they could have known that my little house would have 20 people in it on the day after the storm so my provisions melted fast! I now have so much I am eating Fr toast every day
My neighbors also are like extended family supporting each other! We were not the last to get power but are among the last yet there was no Smitching and moaning like some other communities. I think it is because everyone helped each other and I am Blessed to live here.
I never did figure out how to post here but I followed and you all are awesome

This made me laugh too and cringe a little. I can hear my meme calling me by my whole name.
The years go by quickly, Mama! Cherish every one! We missed you!!!! Kat- I was constantly thinking of you, Sheryl and the rest of my Southern Coastal friends this week. I have no idea how you all do this year after year. I have said that I am not afraid of winter storms and I am not. After the last ice storm that caught us all unprepared i generally am ready. That one left me without power for 6 days and at that time we had no generator so we had nothing. My family never lost power so we were able to share their hot showers so I was okay. This one was different, it was a freak early storm and our trees were nto ready. They were covered with leaves and they had not frozen through so they were soft. That is why everyone was affected so badly, and that is how I wondered how you all do it. It is one thing to have options but another when the entire area is a mess. Once again, I am in awe of you ladies down there, I would nto have the fortitude to do what you all do every storm season
Dinner is out. We have to vote so we will meet Marisa and Kady at the pizza shop.
I hate all of the paperwork! I'd rather just be seeing kids! 
ok, my mind stays in the gutter more than half of the time, and for some reason while I was on the train this morning, these just hit me the wrong way....
I can't believe the ordeal that you went through! That sounds like a total nightmare! I really like living in Southern California. I don't think I could handle things like being without power, and roads being blocked by fallen trees!What makes a donut a "Texas" donut?
Happy birthday, Jacob!
Yay!
It will be nice to have you back!
WFD? Probably McDonald's. We are going to try and get Fran out of the house and to band this evening. It will be her first time out of the house in about 12 days.
I couldn't handle that! 
I can only blame this nagging backache.
