wow...

I stumbled upon some more interesting cuisine today in the creative room.



This was Mei Fun, from China Chef, with a little kick from some Taco Bell hot sauce. I promise I won't post any more of these because they are actually starting to gross ME out.



That is one thing I never want Aunt Sharon to share...her FOOD.

What NOT to get me for Christmas

Going through some of the donated toys for the Christmas outreaches I noticed something strange about this one...

Yes, my friends...it POOPS!


I believe it was called "Trainer Barbie" and comes fully equipped with a pooping pooch. Please, don't get me wrong. We are very grateful for ALL of the toys donated . But this one is almost as good as the "Potty Putter" from the Elevate garage sale, last year.

Russian Delicacy?

You may be asking yourself, "What is this disgusting looking concoction of food?" Well, dear bloggers - meet my friend Katie.



We have been friends for a long time. Since 5th grade, actually, when I saved her shoes, and life, in Mexico. Ask her about it one day - she would love to share the story. She's always sharin' a story, thats why we call her Aunt Sharon. Aunt Sharon also has very strange eating habits. She blames it - and everything else - on being raised in a foreign country.



The other day, I stumbled upon Katie making this interesting dish. It consists of processed lunch meat, taco sauce (which she will put on anything) and pepper-jack cheese. I almost threw up. Then she microwaved it! The one thing I knew was that I had to share this with the world. Enjoy -

Get ready - I'm back.

I know...I'm sorry. I promised myself when I started blogging, that I would never have one of these posts. But here I am. I have been a blog bum the past month or so (or two). Things have been so crazy - but I wouldn't want it to be any other way. I LOVE what I get to do and the people I get to do it with. Life is great.

Pics will be coming soon (still working out the picture issues with the new phone) and I will return to the blogging world. It's on.

Pre-game starts at 6:00! See you there.

Africa

Africa

I have been doing some research on Social Justice organizations and every time I come across an organization that deals with Africa, I find my heart wanting to leap out of my chest. As I am sitting here reviewing these websites, fighting back tears, I came across some of these statistics that I thought I would share.




I came across another statistic today that really hit me hard. In Mozambique, if the spread of HIV/AIDS is not reversed, life expectancy will drop from 50.3 to 36 years of age by 2010. Thats less than 3 years away. Wow.
