Yep... i know!!

I really should get on here an post more than once a month! lol! So... this will be my second for this month... i think! ha ha!

Here are some pics on our day out on the town in the big city of Tulsa! We went 'n played some mini golf, went to Ci-Ci's pizza (though I don't know why I didn't snap any pictures), and afterwards we went walking around the mall! btw... the mall here is 3 stories! I am used to a mall not much bigger than maybe 2 Super-Wal-Marts!!! Mall walking can get tiring real quick when a mall is three stories and your not a big fan of shopping!!! YES>>> I did say that! I don't care to shop! I hate trying on clothes! I like to walk, look, and that's about it...'n I don't want to do that for long, but we had a good time as you can see!












silly girls @ ICING
one of the clerks was really nice and was even helping them pic stuff out to take pics in, but don't go to CLAIRES ... you aren't allowed to take pictures!!! :( bummer!
We left!


Ok... totally looks like she's picking her nose!! rofl! 
think she was heading up to push those glasses up... I hope!! LOL!



I did happen to snap this one @ CLAIRES before they told us to put up our cameras...


one of our new friends from Tulsa! 

Would you believe we met her on our last cruise, and as fate would have it 
she happens to live here about 5 mins away from our hotel/home away from home!!

I could't resist playing around w/this photo a bit... It was too cute!


I like the end result!

Fast Kitchen Tip for the Busy Moms

Ok. I don't know how to embed this, so you will have to click on the link.

It's one of the quickest methods I have ever seen for peeling a potato! I am going to try it myself as soon as I go get me a sack of potatoes!

Of course that means home cooked fries for the kids! We don't get those very often! We typically avoid frying, but ...oh man... I have been wanting some like crazy! Before the cruise, my Aunt & Uncle were in the hotel room right beside us and she made home cooked fries almost every night! She's a fast peeler b/c she has been making home fries for years! Nothing beats her french fries! I know... I know! A potato is a potato but some love goes into these fries! I had a total nostalgic feeling when I popped one in my mouth! Then I felt totally guilty having never made home cooked fries for my kids! I've thrown frozen ones in the fryer but I've NEVER peeled potatoes, sliced 'em, and fried 'em for them! But again... I typically avoid frying all together...which means my kids only get fries occasionally from McDs!

Now... go quick peel them babies (like the video shows) 'n get em fried! Don't forget to pray over them!!! That's the most important part!!!

Have a glorious day and remember God in all that you do!

Finally....I have Internet Again!!!

I was so discouraged getting back from the cruise and settling into our new "home away from home" to discover we have some very poor internet here. The other place was flying. The kids could watch old cartoons and such on NetFlix, I could upload and download just about anything with ease, and we were pretty much in Internet heaven! LOL!
This place is hit and miss. It might as well be dial up. There is absolutely no NetFlix use b/c the shows rebuffer about a dozen times throughout! I tried to upload a cruise video and well... nothing happened! It showed 1% uploaded for about an hour and I went to bed! The next morning I had no Internet and didn't have Internet for almost a week until they reset their server!
Fun! Fun!
Anyway... I did manage to get my pics of fb but haven't put any here. I am giving it a try now. It will probably only be a few b/c I am sure it will take forever to upload. I'll go for a few scenery shots of Isla Roatan, Honduras... to peak your interest! Maybe you will come back for more in about 3 days when the next photos load! rofl! jk! I hope it doesn't take that long!!!















Whoop! Whoop! as us Louisiana'ins say! I am so excited! I was able to load more than one or 2 photos! Anywayz... these are just of Isla Roatan, Honduras! We were on the Pirates, Birds, & Monkeys of the Carribian excursion. I have lots more scenery pics from everywhere we went as well as beach shots, cave tubing in Belize, my son's fishing trip in Belize, boats, and what have ya! So...just give me some time, and I'll get another batch of pics up here! k!  :)
