I have one tattoo I love and one I hate. The first one I got was hastily done and I didn’t really think about the design much… I was young and dumb, blah, blah, blah… The second one was a design I had really thought about alot and it had a tie to my history. I found a tattoo artist who was really good and even did pressure points on me so I could relax completely. If I ever got another one, I would go to him. But, I think two is enough.

I use my bread machine to knead and do half the rising. Then, I transfer the dough to a bread pan or if it is a specialty bread, shape it and bake on a stone. I highly recommend using extra gluten and adding flaxseed and any yummy whole grains to liven the flavor.
The smell of fresh baked bread in my house is HEAVENLY!
People to forgive before I die:
1. My evil MIL
2. My evil SIL
3. Myself for being so unforgiving
4. My husband for his choice in work and leaving me to deal
w/his evil mother and sister
5. God, for giving me evil in-laws (save my FIL he is wonderful)
6. Myself for being angry at God
Surprisingly short. I suppose there may be people in my future destined to make this list, but I’ll deal w/them as they come into my life as quickly and kindly as my heart can handle.
