Meat Pies Gone Bland!


I thought that I might throw in a quick post about the recipe experiment I performed tonight in the kitchen. I am not too excited about the results.

I am in one of those "nothing sounds good to eat" moods lately. I am getting bored with most recipes I usually like to make. Being cut down to about 40 dollars a week to feed my family of four doesn't help much either. Doesn't give me a lot of fresh produce and different ingredients to use. So I decided to try something new.

Sweepstakes and giveaway problems?

I've noticed that you will get a 404 page not found if you try using my link on mobile devices. At least on iPhones anyway. Also for some reason I'm not seeing comments if I look at my blog on my computer, yet on my phone I can see one on the day three comment section. So lets do this, if you share my link on a social media site and leave a comment on any day's post,  then message me and let me know if you want to. ahume08 (at) yahoo (dot) com
That way you know that I know that you get at least one entry. 

Also the days I checked the links it seems as if the prize didn't change until around noon my time. So if you've clicked my link and it was the wrong prize, please check back later in the day. 

Ok. That's about it. Thank you all for reading, entering, and/or sharing. The more people that uses my links means the more opportunities I will have to host giveaways and sweepstakes from various companies. 

Also soon I will start doing reviews on various products and hopefully be giving away some awesome products! If you follow me on google+, twitter, Facebook, or plurk you will probably have seen me already reviewing products such as Lysol cleaners, dr scholl's inserts, garnier bb cream, and the like. I'm going to start reviewing on here as well. Hope you all enjoy this type of thing. 

Ok that's it for now. Don't forget to enter the sweepstakes and/or share my links to enter for the amazon gift card. 

Good luck!

It's Sweepstakes Time!!!! 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes starts......

Tomorrow!!! Don't forget to come back and click the link I will post tomorrow morning and enter to win the first day's prize of a $300 Shopping Spree!!!

                                                                   



That's right, just come back everyday and click the link I will post. There is a different giveaway every day in the month of August. The prizes include shopping sprees, electronics, appliances, cookware, baby items, even a laptop and a gazebo!!! And Much Much More!!! Wow! I wish I were eligible to win some of these myself. I would love the gazebo for my patio, the Apple iPad mini, or maybe the cookware since mine is about twenty years old! My husband would go crazy for the Xbox One or the PS4. (of course so would I) All the prizes are great and would be welcome!

Anyway, that's just a few of the things that are being given away the month during the Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes. What you need to do is come here every day and click the link I will post. That will take you to the sweepstakes. You must be a fan of Purex on Facebook to be eligible to win any of the prizes from the Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes (I just enjoy saying that, don't you?). Every day will have a new prize to win. I will let you know here what it is in the post and give you the link to click. Also at the end of this post is a nifty calendar letting you know what day has what prizes.

 If you share my link and the sweepstakes on facebook or twitter or other social media, then you can come back here and comment, letting me know you shared my link and with how many people, and then you will be eligible to win a $10 Amazon gift card. For every day that you share my link and comment on my blog that you did so, you will get 1 entry. So if you do so every day you will get 31 entries!  At the end of the sweepstakes I will assign the comments from all 31 days an individual number and use a random number generator to draw the winner so that it will be fair. I will post on my blog the name of the winner on September 1st. As is obvious, your chances of winning the gift card are totally up to how many people share and then comment on my blog posts everyday.

Any questions? Are you excited? You should be! Not only will you get chances to win $10,000 worth of prizes, you'll also be entering to win the gift card, and making me smile everyday by seeing all of you commenting and entering and, well, just doing what I love doing. Which is trying to win amazing prizes!!!

OK I will tone down the excitement level for a moment. If there are any questions, or problems commenting on my posts, please feel free to email me, message me, plurk me, or however you know to get hold of me. If you do not have my email address it is ahume08   (at)  yahoo (dot) com

I am sure you all understand the reason I typed that out weird. Don't want my email to fall into a spam bot hand :)

Now get ready to get out there and win some truly awesome prizes! Remember to check back here every morning for the new post. I will probably be posting it a little after midnight central time every morning just so you know.

Thanks for reading, entering and commenting. I look forward to seeing who wins the gift card on here! Good luck to everyone that enters the Purex 31 Days of Fun Sweepstakes!!! Yep that still makes me smile.

Who knits a blanket? I do!

Not a whole lot to report. I finished a cowl for my aunt. She sent me a pattern and asked me if I could knit it for her. I am not pleased with the end result at all. It was all mitered squares which I guess is a lot like entrelac. It used four colors for the squares. Every square I had to pick up stitches and apparently I don't do it right because it looks weird where I did. But it's done and I'll send it off to her and hope she likes it ok.

June 14, 2013

Wow it's been a long time!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I have posted. Not much has happened really. We moved to Texas, I found a job, I quit a job, now I'm staying at hone as usual. I garden, knit, cross stitch, read, and watch Netflix a lot.

Gardening here has been a challenge for me. The soil is a mixture of clay and sand. I'm starting to get some peppers growing but my tomatoes haven't even tried to bloom, much less grow actual tomatoes. Other people are already getting big fat green maters around here! My plants are still really small. I know the upper ninety degree weather isn't helping any. As for my indoor herb growing, I'm doing just as bad at that as I did back home in Indiana! They start to grow, get a few inches tall and stay real spindly, then fall over dead. I've tried watering more, watering less, more sun, less sun..... I just have no idea what I'm doing wrong!

As for my knitting, I've been working on several things. I've made some shawls, hats for Christmas last year, a baby blanket, and am currently (as in today and yesterday) working on a mitered square cowl and also a full sized bed spread/afghan thing. The cowl has me tense. I always wanted to try entrelac. Now I'm wondering why I ever wanted to. It's just not looking real pretty right now and oh my gosh the ends! There are so many dangling bits I'm going to have to weave in! Sigh!

Well I think I'll leave it there for now. I want to start posting at least once a month again, if not more often. I miss our weekly chats though. I'd post, you all would comment or email, I'd respond, I'd feel like I actually had friends! It's a pain to post from my phone though. My hubby ( still feels weird saying that sometimes even though our first anniversary is next month) is buying me an iPad soon, so maybe that'll help. Bigger screen and all that.

So goodby for now my ever faithful tanglers. Happy Crafting!
