Monday Morning News

Good morning all! You gotta love this morning heat in texas. It's only 8:20 A.M. and I'm on
the patio with my coffee and already sweating. How is a girl to enjoy that? :)

The video: first, thanks to ALL that have voted so far! We are currently in 3rd place and we have until July 31st so we are shooting for 1st. Remember, you can vote 1 time a day, everyday. (I'm just throwing that out there, ha!)

So what's been going on? Last week was really busy. My dog may be getting closer to residing at the Griffin house. I had a home assessment to see everything I may need, specific to the house and how cool is this: I really will have a partner in crime. She can help me carry in groceries, bring me my purse (however, I was informed of a 5 pound weight limit) and even laundry. The list goes on and on.

I'm going to look at my hand prosthetics tomorrow so I can give you better update. This process is really fascinating. I'll give you the scoop this week.

Annoucement: I have something very exciting to share this week. I have a few things to do today and tomorrow but will share with you as soon as I can. Sorry to tease but just keep checking!

The Egg: I learned something this weekend. Little Matthew and I were making cupcakes this weekend when we realized we had a little issue. One ingredient: egg. He is not a fan off eggs, almost like me and liver, so we looked at each other and thought, how in the world is this going to work as he didn't even want to try and crack it...heaven forbid the egg get on him!

So, I discovered that you don't need fingers to crack an egg. WOW, I held on for dear life as I turned the egg on its side and started to tap it on the counter to create a small crack.

The crack allowed me just enough of an opening that I could set it in the container we were using to cook and push to release the "gooo". It worked, without breaking the shell into bits. So funny how you can feel like such a kid again but I was on an internal high for about 2 hours.

There are days that I feel as if I am 5 again because of how such a small step can make me feel. But, darn it, I made cupcakes and cracked an egg this weekend! I'm headed out to visit my surgeon and spend the day with my hubby. :)

Have a wonderful day!

Love,
Jen
