Apples

So my latest fad of snack food (in the quest to a healthier frontier) is apple and cheddar cheese. I slice up apples and buy cubed cheddar cheese and snack away. I know cheese is really fattening and a bit, well you know, so I don't want to eat to much of it. But it is SOO yummy. Even though cheese is fattening I have heard it is a good thing for you, so in moderation I am liking to eat it with my apples. I had heard of the combination awhile ago but never really tried it until recently. The thing with me is, once I find something I like, I use it so much in the end I don't like it anymore. Like a popular new song on the radio that they play 1 billion times (an exageration of course) and you end up turning the dial after it comes on for the 1 billionth and one time it comes on again. In conclusion if you are looking for a healthy snack, slice up a gala apple and pour some nice orange (fall colored) delicious cubes of cheddar cheese on a plate along with your crispy apple and fall into the arms of yummy goodness. :) My next conquest is to make the apple cheddar pie.

The gong show was funny, I really liked all of Megans skits. They were so funny. Seriously...man. She needs to do that more often. Morgan was worried about her voice because she had been kind of hoarse. Well, I don't think it mattered. Michael stole the show! I am glad he had fun, although last night I was a bit disappointed because Morgan and I had worked really hard on that song. God knew and He knew who needed what. Michael has suffered a great loss like we all have, so anything to continue to bring him out of his shell and build his confidence is a blessing. Although I DO want to sing that song again some point down the road, because as I said yesterday, it carries a great message. Bradley was so great last night, he impersonated Groucho Marks (did I spell that right?) and did a great job. You could tell how proud of himself he was. Last night, he looked the closest I have seen him looking to "the old Bradley" that I have seen in a long time. It was great! If you get a chance, check out mommas blog. She has posted more lately and has a new template too.

Tonight I need to get on the treadmill and start a baby blanket for a friend. The month of October is jam packed. This weekend is the only relatively free weekend, although I think the youth are playing football on Saturday. Next weekend I am either going to visit a friend, or doing the VLB fundraiser, not sure yet. The weekend after that is the craft show I am going to at a friends house. I need to get my candles made for then. I would like to have about 20 ready to sale. Also hoping Mom will send some cards to sell and that I can sell some of my dads honey I have at the house. I need to get the stuff that cleans wax off easily, cus it sure is a mess to clean up. The weekend after that I fly home. SHHHH. I am surprising my friend, she is having her baby shower for her first baby. I wanted to surprise her and see my new cousin, which my first cousin will be having very shortly. So the new baby will be my second cousin. My cousins and I are pretty close, so I feel more like an Aunt then cousin. Then the weekend after that is Ladies Retreat. Pray for me, that will be in a tough area. It is in the same area that Damon passed away. That place holds so many wonderful memories for me, but also is the place I lost my husband. So I just want to be okay up there. I want to go, because like mom says, sometimes the hardest things bring the greatest victories.

Well (I have noticed I use that word a lot), I guess I need to sign off.
