TweetDeck for PC

TweekDeck - My newest obsession. Perfect for 10-20 distractions per hour and never getting any work done. On the other hand, it's great for staying on-top of what's what and who's who and since I'm just now getting into this Twitter thing for work, I'm loving how simple it is to view multiple searches all at once. The other day I was watching Celebrity Apprentice and decided to plugin a search for #celebrityappentice in my TweetDeck and discovered what social television really means. It was awesome and amazing and I can say that now I finally 'Get It'... the whole reason behind Twitter, it was the missing piece of the puzzle for me. Fun!

Top 10 Application for Windows

Considering that I spend about 2/3 (if not more) of my waking hours in front of the warm glow of my laptop screen, thought I would post a list/reviews of the applications I use (nearly) everyday, just for a little nerdy fun. ;)

Happy Saturday Pancakes

Ran out of milk making protein shakes (I know!) for the kids this morning, so now what to do about breakfast?

HAPPY SATURDAY PANCAKES

1 c. flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
3/4 c. evaporated milk
1/4 c. water
2 tbsp. butter, melted

Mix dry ingredients. Add egg and liquids; stir thoroughly. Add butter and stir. Bake on a griddle and serve. The evaporated milk gives the pancakes a light texture.

Guess we're off on another adventure to the grocery store after breakfast. Can't Wait.

Rules to Live By

Had this list sitting on my desk for a couple days now, then I read This post by The Cheap Chic Momma and felt inspired to post it here.

My new Rules for 2010:
1. Finish what you start, 1 thing at a time
2. Pay someone else to do it!
3. Raise your standards, don't settle for less than the best
4. SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY!

My Life Is A Blender

I love to make smoothies and considered myself to be on a first name basis with the blender. Today I greedily dumped a whole bag of Dole Tropical Fruit blend (which I love because it already has the bananas in it) and poured in some fresh OJ and the poor blendie was FULL (um I guess I usually do just 1/2 a bag of fruit!).So, I started it up and gradually increased speeds to 10, as usual. But the contents proved to be too much for it's speed limit of 10 (or so I thought) Don't know why but I hit the + button again and delightfully discovered MY BLENDER CAN GO FASTER THAN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE! Made it all the way to the rip-roarin' speed of 18. Of course it SAYS right on the base that it's a freakin' 18 speed blender, but who reads those things anyway?!


So, my metaphor for life? Just when you think you're maxed out or have already reached your potential, push it a little more. You might be surprised to find you have a lot more power than you ever imagined.

Now how do I store the leftovers? I don't have any ice cube trays b/c the freezer has an ice dispenser!
