Lots going on

Work is always keeping me busy. When I'm not running the floors at work, I'm busy baking and playing with the computer.

No new recipes yet, although, there are some on the burner. Check out a few of the old standbys like Imperial Pound Cake and Zucchini Bread, since I've been making those lately to take to IC on Fridays with the St. Boniface crew.

More reviews and recipes are on the way...stay tuned.

No, I'm not dead

...just dead tired sometimes. Working as a nurse is not for sissies and they do physicals for a reason. Rehab nursing, in particular, is a physical endeavor. I'm not slinging patients from here to there...all the time, but I have noticed that I am tired when I get home at night more often than I have been before.

Thankfully, I wear good shoes--Danskos. You can check out a pair at ClogCentral. Some people say they're heavy, but they keep my legs from getting tired!

I've been lucky enough to see the St. Boniface crowd at IC in the last couple of weeks. Most everyone is doing well. A couple of people are ill, so keep them in your prayers. I baked zucchini bread and the one without nuts disappeared. (We put the walnut version in the freezer for this week.)

Well, here are a couple of interesting tidbits I found in some recent surfing. Enjoy your week!

If I could do it, I would. Beats cutting grass all the time!

Kids take on the lunch lady (from cnn.com)
No, no violence here. Just the power of the pen is mightier than the pea.

Think you're old? Don't until you check this out! Maybe they really need to go here.
