Humble Beginnings

So, I am beginning this blog as a way to put a voice to all of the thoughts in my head...

It's 2:45 a.m. and I am still awake, beginning a blog? Strange, to say the least...but I am beginning to wonder what part of me is normal anymore. I have so much going through my head lately, and I just can't seem to rest. The original title of my blog was going to be ''the tired ramblings of another over-worked housewife''...but, apparently blogger.com thought that was too excessive and I had to shorten it...so now it is ''simply genius.'' Not quite sure where that came from, but it is very late/early and something strange was bound to come out of my head at this time of night.

So many people have told me that I needed to start a blog, so that they could further read my various incoherent posts. So you got your wish. This blog will be full of overly-dramatic depictions of my life with a three year old and a one year old, and too many tips and tricks in the kitchen. All of the things I love to talk about!

Random thoughts:

• always start bacon in a cold pan, if you are an individual that likes to pan-fry.


• if your not a pan-frier, try the oven out for a change. lay a sheet of parchment paper on your cookie sheet, and place your bacon on top of the parchment. bake at 350 at least 15 minutes. watch it very closely, as oven times will vary.


• i don't really love bacon...random.


• a couple of weeks ago i wanted to make a pizza and realized i didn't have any refrigerated dough. i then realized that i could make my own, duh...it hasn't always came out of a can.

Random Favorite Quote:

Warren Buffett is quoted as saying "should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.'' I understand he was talking about stocks and bonds, but I think this is such a wise quote. Sometimes the simplest solutions in life are overlooked, sometimes we need to change vessels and stop trying to fix various leaks.

I am currently wondering how I am still awake...so I think it's time to drift off to sleep (so that I can be awoken by Derricks alarm clock in 2 hrs and 15 minutes). Yay.

Until Next Time...
