I’m trying to distract myself out of a full-blown panic attack. All of my videos have disappeared from my computer AND YouTube is showing that I only have 9 videos on my profile!!! However, the YouTube videos that I have embedded on here are still present, so they are still somewhere in cyberland. I have no idea what happened to all the ones on my computer though. Josh was able to find some of them somewhere else on the computer (I think they are all the Iphone clips.)
The primary purpose of posting today was to share a severely adorable clip of Sim and I conversing. However, YouTube won’t let me upload, saying that the “server has rejected my file.” NOT THRILLED WITH YOUTUBE RIGHT NOW!
So, instead I will have to post what’s been on my phone lately. When I posted about making my own yogurt, I said that I was going after a copycat Jimmy Dean recipe. We hit the sausage jackpot! It’s a great recipe, the ingredients are all easily available, and pork is cheap here, so we’re thrilled! I whipped up 2 lbs of pork sausage and made breakfast burritos with most of it. I kept some aside to make biscuits and gravy for Josh one of these days.
So I think I made 25 of them, threw them in the freezer, and now the kids can just nuke them in the morning. It’s so great and I love knowing that they are getting something hearty for breakfast. I could be an extra on The Walking Dead in the mornings, and I used to just mumble something about toast to the kids. Now I can still walk aimlessly around the house, mumbling, but the kids know not to listen to me and just have a burrito!
However, the don’t last long because Josh often gets the late-night munchies. He even used the homemade yogurt as a substitute for sour cream the other night!
This guy enjoys his hearty breakfast too!
My orchids are blooming! This is sitting right outside of my window. They only blooms once (maybe twice) a year, and require zero maintenance, so I’ve been enjoying these plants for 10 years now!
I caught Simeon and Daddy in a sweet little snuggle the other night.
What goes right along with a post about flowers and babies and burritos? A big ol’ lizard who was crossing the street when I pulled into our condo the other day. I wish Deacon and Caleb had been with me. They love critters!
Ugh, we have another super-typhoon headed our way. They are saying that this one is trying to be as devastating as Yolanda last year. In Tacloban, the hardest-hit area where they are still recovering from Yolanda, they are evacuating and praying that the typhoon changes course and loses intensity.
