Discs N Taters and Gallery Test Two
Friday I managed to make a pot o beans. I mixed up a few different varieties heavy on the Cranberry beans. I soaked them over night so I was pretty much committed to making them. I started with adding a splat or two of mustard and then a tad of this and that. While I was looking at the counter I spied the bag of dried cranberries we had picked up at the fruit stand – ummm – cranberry beans and cranberries – made sense to me. So I grabbed a hand full or so and dropped them in.
Taste, and taste again. Hummm, these sure would be great baked! Added a bit of molasses and cooked them down. Popped the Dutch Oven into the electric oven and baked them. Ok, not to toot my own horn but they were delicious. It has been awhile since I have gotten the old Dutch Oven out and made a pot so I was pleased.
This evening we used them in our taco’s. It was an interesting taste. Sweet baked beans and all the usually taco fixings. I was rather skeptical at first putting sweet baked beans in a taco but they were not all that bad – not super great but tasty.
I sat down late this evening and made another video. Sometimes I just come up with some silly hair brained idea that I think might be funny or entertaining. If nothing else it give me something to do.
So here is the video:
Ok another try and another test trying to find a good plug-in that will allow me to place to photo galleries in one post. Since the last update of WP the method I had been using stopped working. So tell me what you think of the method?
This should show only the ducks and geese
this one should show only the Gulls

This week I have not school. Yipee! Spring Break. Ok, I admit it does not ring with all the excitement it did years ago. No wild parties, no crazy aimless road trips – just another week.
I decided to organize my little room up here. My dad painted the dresser my friend gave me and it’s empty drawers just begged to be filled. It never ceases to amaze me how much crap I can accumulate.
Circles? don’t forget to go boom, boom, boom.
Life is full of beginnings and endings. Perhaps it is really a circle without begging or end. I don’t really know. Great fodder for the brain to dwell on.
The past few months have been full of beginnings and endings. We watched the kids exchange rings on the beach. So full of expectation, innocence, belief, and excitement. The knowing, the automatic assumption without thought really that life is good – the harbinger of youth. A beginning. I miss my reckless youth.
A few friends have left us here without them too. Is that an ending or a beginning?

How I think – is my though process different than the norm?
It dawned on me that I process information like a logic tree or something similar. Then again I can get stuck in a major do loop 🙂

I spend a lot of time reading blogs and such. Lately my brain is not functioning in top gear. It seems after all the changes with blogger many blogs seem like one big run on sentence to me. Long paragraphs if there are paragraphs. In my news reader many of the words are stuck together. (In my reader manyof the words are stuck together). I then head for the site as I have enough troubles taking it all in as it is.

“Firework” Lyrics
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards,
One blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
6 feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
‘Cause there’s a spark in you
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make ’em go “Oh, oh, oh”
You’re gonna leave ’em goin’ “Oh, oh, oh”
You don’t have to feel like a wasted space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it’s time, you’ll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go “Oh, oh, oh”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make ’em go “Oh, Oh, Oh”
You’re gonna leave ’em goin’ “Oh, oh, oh”
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through-ough-ough
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go “Oh, Oh, Oh”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make ’em go “Oh, Oh, Oh”
You’re gonna leave ’em goin’ “Oh, oh, oh”
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
