Loving all My Personalities…Group Hug!!
ByGenXBratMy son thinks I have several people living inside me… and not all of them are sane. He’s probably right…but as I’ve explained to him, as long as they all keep communicating with each other we’ll be fine… =)
I’ve always had people telling me I’m crazy. Not in a “call the men in the white coats” kinda way. It’s more of the “I can’t believe she just did/said that!” kinda way.
I think I’m just not willing to give up my inner child. And as an adult, you can’t make me! š …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
ByGenXBratMy wish is that it’s completely green and pure gold for you (and that you don’t get pinched)! š
You know, I remember getting dressed in green and going to the St. Patrick’s Day parade as a kid, but we just don’t do that anymore.
So, for those of you who celebrate by going out to have a few green beers⦠Cheers! (to you AND your designated driver⦠hint, hint) š …
Whoever Said There’s Such a Thing as a Good Break Up, Has Never Had a Broken Heart
ByGenXBratYep. My heart is broken… and I don’t know if it can be fixed.
I’ve been with the same man for five and a half years… and he walked out of my life last night. Without going into a lot of detail about the things that led up to this, I’ll just say that it’s tough integrating families from different backgrounds and different cultures.
Can things be made better? Well, that depends on a lot of factors. Some that I can control, but most that I can’t….
Cracking Open Raw Nuts Should be Easy
ByGenXBratI know it’s not Christmas yet but this crossed my mind last night when I reached for the raw pecans I have on the counter. You know the ones. The kind you buy at Christmas that come inside their shells. They’re usually mixed together in a great big bin that your mom keeps telling you to stop playing in.
Whenever mom brought these home, she’d put ’em in a big bowl and throw the nut cracker and picks into the bowl with the nuts so that we could actually get the shells off and eat them. As far as I knew, that was the only way to get to the good parts of the nuts.
Well I just got re-edu-macated last year by a short little Mexican lady that my sweetheart calls mom. …
Budget BBQ – One of My Childhood Favorites
ByGenXBratMy mom used to make this when we were kids. And while she always told us, “I never said I could cook, I just said I could keep us from starving!”, this was always a great meal. And to think, it came about just because she needed to stretch her food budget… and a pound of ground beef!
Nowadays I make it with ground turkey, but that’s just a personal preference. But since it’s such a simple recipe (the best kind in my book!), I wanted to share it. It’s certainly nothing fancy, but it’s delicious, healthy, and can really help you out if you’re looking for great family meals on a budget.

Because I’m more like the moon than the sun…
Me too. Always a night person.
