Another Linky Link:

This is a website that I've watched for a while, it's kind of like Flickr, but for food. AND, when you click on the image, it takes you to the recipe! You'll be SUPER hungry when you're done visiting Tastespotting because all the images are mouthwatering and delicious looking! Tonight I found a recipe for Carrot Cake Cookie Sandwiches, Baked Apricots with Almond Paste, Vegetable Enchiladas, and tons of other yummy looking recipes!!! Have fun!

Coupon Mania

Ok, so people are going coupon crazy. For me, it takes too much time so unless it's a great coupon like FREE I don't even bother.... So I thought I'd share this one with you... Malt-O-Meal Cereal Bags (Smaller ones) are 10 for $10 at Kroger which makes them $1.00 a piece. I found a coupon for $1 off here. So go get yourself some free cereal! Christian and I will be there tomorrow getting ours!

Usually don't do this

...but you have to check out this link. This is one website that you'll have to go and read EVERY post. It's hilarious! Basically, the author has put together very funny commentary along with cakes that didn't turn out too well. Hence the blog name Cake Wrecks. So go there, check it out, and tell me how you like it. :) I hope you find it as hilarious as I did!

I'm here, in case you were wondering...

I am still here, and alive. I've just been super busy... I know, not a good excuse, but that's all I've got. I can't believe it's been the beginning of July since I posted!
Here's a little of what I've been up to:

Christian's Brother visited us for a week so we headed to Fort Worth with him. We visited the Kimball Art Museum. (It's free!) These were some of my favorites:

Then we visited the Amon Carter museum. (It's free too!) It has all American artists. I really liked the silhouette of this statue.
They also had lots of western art. Can you believe all that detail is cast into bronze? Amazing!
Then to top of our truly Texan day we headed to the:
We ate at a cute little outdoor place called the Love Shack. They had a great band playing and we ate hamburgers and hotdogs. They even had a vegetarian burger! After dinner we headed over to the stockyard building for a good old-fashioned rodeo! Yee-Haw! (It was in this building. I didn't realize it was going to be air-conditioned...it was FREEZING in there!)
I will have to say, it's not a PG event by any means! If you have young children, I recommend the Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show. It's earlier in the day, and doesn't involve cowboys getting stepped on, and horses getting mauled. Yep, my rodeo experience was truly one of a kind, because I probably won't be going to see one again, EVER! (Yes, the previously mentioned DID happen when we were there....it was awful!)

One of the first bulls out of the gate was extremely MAD! Even after the cowboy fell off he didn't want to get back in his pen. They have other cowboys in the ring to herd the very mad bulls back into their pens. This particular one did NOT want to go and was charging everyone. One of the herding cowboys didn't get out of the way in time and his horse got a huge bloody gash down the back of his leg. Our entire half of the stadium was just in shock and we all had our hands over our mouths... They took the horse away to treat it. I asked Christian if he thought the horse would be ok and he figured they had a vet in the back to help out in instances like the one we had witnessed. I figured he was right and continued watching the rodeo, though I still felt really bad! Of course, about 5 minutes later the emcee gets on the speaker and requests that any veterinarians in the audience, please come as they needed help. (Apparently they did NOT have one on hand. Isn't that awful!) I will say that my favorite event was the cowGIRL barrel racing. That was very non-violent and fun to watch!

Anyways, these are the only non-blurry pictures I got.

I especially liked this one because you can see all the guys getting up on the fence to get out of the way of the angry bull! They are much more brave than me. Well, maybe brave, or maybe they don't have a whole brain!
So ends our trip to the rodeo. (It was really long too! The rodeo started at 8 and didn't end until almost 11PM, then we had to drive back from Fort Worth. It made for a long day!)
