Couples Retreat my thoughts

Couples retreat ----- The movie review
This is a must see for anyone who needs to laugh and unwind, I went to see it at the theater last night it was adult night so only 18 and up aloud in and you must show id. This was a great idea by the way , way to go hickvilla theater. no little kids or snotty teens, just adults and the place is usually empty on these nights. Also its good for couples to go and have fun.

So anyway the movie, its hilarious. I could not stop laughing I want to tell you the kid they got to play one of the couples youngest kid rocks he is a cutie . You can tell that he will be a heart breaker when he grows up, my fav moment is when he pees in the toilet in a show room for home renovations and the guy working there goes into shock because he does not now what to do about it. All actors in this movie rock, warning there are hot naked guy in this movie. I would recommend this movie for adults and couples.

Since blogger is being mean today and not letting me embed the preview of the movie I will just leave a link here for anyone who wants to check it out.

Flying Mice

So we have a mouse, and its big , we have a cat he is bigger. So whats the matter then you ask .
Well the dumb cat is lazy and the freaking mouse is smart. We have caught him 3 times only to have him escape.
Ever have a mouse jump at your head , last night was a new first for me and not in a good way. I opened the pantry door at close to 1 am (I heard a noise I was not sneaking snacks) and the mouse was going after my crackers so I grab a container and I'm acting all smart I will grab the bugger and toss him outside, and i go back to the pantry and he is sitting there looking at me , I stood there kind of stunned cause ya know there is a mouse staring at me , and then he makes this running leap at my head , so I scream ( cause that's what you do when mice jump at you) and run out of the kitchen.
He has taken over the kitchen and living room , and I walk with fear that he will fly down from a high place to get me at any moment and while I am looking up in fear the dam thing runs in front of my feet, so I have to be smart and do the head up head down walking technique that makes me look like a bobble head and gives my neck a pain and my sight a few grey spots but no mouse shall sneak up on me.

How did this mouse get in your house?
Well I cared him in first class in a box from the shed, see I am smart. We had (please do note the had )a mouse in the shed so I took everything into the house and carried the dam thing into the house , we watched him climb out the box in shock . So now we have a mouse in the house.

downsizing

Okay so I haled the last 5 boxes and 2 bags out of storage to go through and unpack then pack up for the final time I hope, and I was in shock . I found things I had forgot I owned like brand new cloths , scrapbook supplies , cool flame lamps , hats and wigs. I am amazed also at all the crap I thought was so important to keep last year when I packed the boxes , I have gone from 5 boxes to 1 big one, (about the size of 2 ) and 3 garbage bags - 1 full of cloths , 1 full of teddy bears (I love my teddy bears and pillows I have over 50 teddy bears and about 15 pillows on my bed or in bags) and 1 bag of blankets and towels (i love blankets as well, i have tons on my bed but I only sleep with one on me , I now I'm weird).
So I am wondering is there anyone out there that is a pack rat like me who cant help themselves?
Do you gather and buy and store crap, until even you think you have 2 much crap? I have enough crap to furnish 2 apartments and I furnished my moms place with kool stuff.
When I was working at liquidation world it closed down and I got a 90% discount as a staff member so I got my mom real leather couch set , wooden coffee table and side tables set (that was given back to me) dinning set , dinning side table , cups , plates /bowls sets , tons of cooking stuff , tons of nicknack's and stuff . Ya i rock as a daughter right .

How can I be a assume daughter like you mistress pink ?
Well my dears, you must work at a department store with a limited staff be a favorite of the manager and have the closing shift and the store must be closing down. Then when everyone leaves and you must sit your ass down in the cramped small smelly office , doing the closing report and the till crap and whatever else is on the list like moping and sweeping the floors, turning off the lights and cleaning up after the 13 year old snot bag who never can be found on his shift but always shows up to bug you on yours. You can let your mom go around with a shopping cart and put in stuff or point out furniture you want that you have moved to the back for you to pay off on pay day.

That's not right you say, or is it ? yes , yes my dears it is , you see not only did you get permission for it at times your manager joins your mom , and shows her new stock that has not been put out yet. Also you mom will be overly happy because she is scared of crowds and hates to go shopping for this reason because you are an amazing daughter you got this "job " just for her. so that she can shop in quite without no one to bug her .

While we are on the liquidation subject I must tell you I have been proposed to twice by 2 hudrits, and I was stocked by of them . It was a scary time in my life, the colony would have people come in every Sunday and that was the day i ran the store with one 12 and one 13 year old who thought it was the best thing to hid in back laughing and leave me standing at till unable to leave and being hit on by old and young hudrits . So anyway this one guy keeped bugging me and then one day he brings me a bottle of homemade wine and homemade bread , he had this big smile , I grabbed one of the kids and held him by my side and he could not stop laughing and I refused to let go of him. then the guy proposed gave me the stuff and I was like no thank you , I am not interested in getting married right now. He answered I will wait and of course the snot I had a hold of cracked up even harder . After he walked away a hudrit woman came up with a boy about 11 in age , and said good for you love you don't need him , you want a man like my boy will be , you marry my boy and he will make a fine husband for you , you will be happy to be my daughter in law. Now of course I am shocked to shit and the little snot is only being held up by his arm that I am holding because he is laughing so hard. after all hudrits had left I locked myself in the office to do "paperwork" .
When I later got over things and told my mom she never believed me, and told me to get her some of their double yoke eggs if he wanted me so bad she wanted a dozen.
Um, thanks mom .
So when she was dropped by my work and heard the others making jokes about my "fiances", then she was like don't you get ideas , you are not joining them .
I was all "duuuuuuuuuuuuuue "

Dad's 1 am birthday cake

Okay so dad birthday was on the Tuesday after thanksgiving and he has a weakness for black forest cake , but alas mom is allergic to the stuff they bottle the Cherry's in and I could not get my hands on fresh cherry's. So I made a triple chocolate moose cake, this was a wonderful idea , or so i told myself.

The recipe has 3 steps or so it says in reality it has way to many steps.

1 step -
cake batter , each cake layer takes 30 min to bake there are 3 cake layers. Then they
must cool all the way through I would advise making room in your freezer to cool them this
takes another 30 min each. Oh and when it says use wax paper .......... use wax paper don't just load up on the butter it back fires and your cake loses shape.







2 step - moose like icing , this recipe needs to be made
5 times to get enough icing for the dam
cake , I ran out of supplies and had to go to the store to get more to make more icing. after icing the cake and between the layers put in freezer for 15 min the icing looks amazing.











3 step - chocolate glaze - make a round circle wall of icing
because this stuff will run, Also you will end up with lots of extra or maybe that's just me, you have to freeze this for 10 min after before setting in the fridge or else you will end up with a runny cake top .










All in all everyone said this was the best cake I have ever made and it was amazing there was very little left. Which is good because i was up tell 1 am making the dam thing.
Happy 50 dad!














Here are some pictures of the cake in its many steps, also below is the cake recipe .
















Triple Chocolate Cake

Tips:For those who can never get enough chocolate, a chocolate cake is frosted with an easy chocolate buttercream, then finished with a dark chocolate glaze. Everything can be made with a hand-held electric mixer,or a food processor. A great cake for a party!

(****this cake is not overly sweet or chocolaty which was a shock ,it is nice and relaxing with just the right amount of chocolate and sugar.*****)

Cake:

  • 5 squares (5 ozs.) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2-1/4 c. sifted cake flour
  • 2-1/4 c. sugar
  • 1-3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. buttermilk
  • 3/4 c. water
  • 3 eggs, graded "large"
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
Light Chocolate Frosting:
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch salt
  • 3-2/3 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 c. sifted or strained nonalkalized (not Dutch process) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 to 5 Tbsp. milk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
Chocolate Glaze:
  • 3 squares (3 ozs.) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • Pinch salt
  • 1-3/4 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 4 to 5 Tbsp. hot water
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

For Cake: Grease bottoms of two nine inch layer cake pans (pans MUST be two inches deep) with solid vegetable shortening. Line pan bottoms with wax paper cut to fit; then grease and lightly flour both pans (the sides, too), knocking out any excess flour. Set aside.

In small heatproof bowl set over simmering water on low heat (water should not touch bottom of bowl), melt chopped chocolate and butter, stirring often just until smooth.

Remove from heat and hot water; cool at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Adjust oven rack to center of oven; preheat oven to 350'F.

Into large bowl, sift cake flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add chocolate mixture (which may still be slightly warm), buttermilk, water, eggs, and vanilla.

With hand-held electric mixer, beat at lowest speed for thirty seconds. Scrape bowl and beater(s) with rubber spatula. Beat batter at medium speed for one minute.

Divide batter evenly among pans and spread level. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center emerges with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Do not overbake. Cool 10 minutes, then loosen cakes gently from sides of pans. Invert onto cooling racks; gently peel off wax paper on bottoms. Re-invert and cool layers completely, right side up.

For Light Chocolate Frosting: In large bowl, combine softened butter and salt. With powerful hand-held electric mixer, beat until well-mixed. Gradually add about half of confectioners' sugar and 2 Tbsp. milk (reserve remainder). Beat at low speed to mix, then at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in cocoa. Add remaining sugar and enough milk to make a good spreading consistency, then add vanilla. Increase speed to high; beat until fluffy and well-blended.

Frost cooled cake, making frosting on top and sides as smooth as possible.
Chill frosted cake, uncovered, at least 30 minutes before applying glaze.

For Glaze: In small heatproof bowl set over simmering water on low heat (water should not touch bottom of bowl), combine chopped chocolate, butter, and salt. Stir often until smooth. Remove from heat and hot water.
Add confectioners' sugar and 2 Tbsp. hot water (reserve remainder); whisk well to combine. Gradually add enough of the remaining hot water to acieve a thick glaze consistency. Whisk in vanilla.Let stand at room temperature 10-15 minutes, whisking occasionally, to cool and thicken slightly.

Slowly pour glaze onto top center of chilled cake. Working quickly, smooth glaze onto cake sides first (an offset spatula is a big help here), then smooth glaze evenly over cake top. Try not to work over the glaze too much; it won't look as smooth if you do (it'll still taste great, though). Return cake to refrigerator. When glaze is set, wrap cake airtight. Store in refrigerator. If possible, let stand at cool room temperature 15-20 minutes before serving. Slice with a large, sharp, heavy knife (I use one with serrated edges, but a straight edge might work better for some people).

It Is October RIGHT?

So for the last 4 days I have been hiding indoors with the babies (Ginger and Apollo the Dobermans) because it is snowing outside, not just snowing, snow storming. Its October and it’s snow storming, why ?????

Please someone tell me why. I hate the slush and the cold, I love snow but alas it never stays as snow here in hickvilla because Alberta does not like snow just loves minus 35 and slush. Boy do they love their cold weather. Now because the babies are Dobermans and Dobermans have very little hair, the poor babies must wear clothing, sweaters and coats to keep them warm and t

hey cannot stay outside very long. Also because of the salt on the roads they have to wear booties, to protect their feet. Salt gets up into their paws and burns them.

So of

course thanks to the snow and cold, we had to drag out the old towels, sweaters, and booties. Stock up in extra toys and treats because these babies get bored fast. Since I am the only one home in the day time it is left up to me to babysit and do the routine.

Get everyone in sweaters and booties and put outside on deck, have them sit at the gate and beg so they can go to pen, drag on my stuff. Go outside to face the cold walk them to the pen unlock the pen and go inside, close pen door. stand there freezing while they run around because as soon as I head back to the house they will scream to come home, bring them home, dry them off , take of sweaters and booties, dry feet and we are done.

Sigh, once inside they follow me and jump on me and bring me toys and lean on me and because I am a push over, I cave and give them what they want. Hugs and treats and more time then I can afford in playing. When they finally sleep they look so sweet.

So I told everyone about my website and realized that my link shows my real name, something I was not ready to show but oh well. I am still wildly happy and everything seems to be going my way. I want to share a story with you, I was so happy after my post I was snacking on celery and hot cheese (because I am trying to be healthy) and a bit of cheese feel, and it fell into the shape of a flower.

I took pictures right away because that is just so kool.

(it's not that great cause it got out of focus, but you can still see it)

On a side note I forgot thanksgiving was Monday until my brother showed up here for the holiday, so I was in shook because thanksgiving means dads birthday which I forgot, crap his birthday is Tuesday. So I am going to make him a triple chocolate cake, his fav and hope he is happy.

I hope you in joyed the pictures as I just found my lost camera and I will be posting more because I love taking pictures and video.

I am going to give you a FREE WEBSITE

Okay people I have done it , I have found the holy grail. I randomly on my survey search came across and anti scam website and feel in love not with the website although it is cute. With their banner that reads "I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A FREE WEBSITE" . Now websites cost a lot of freaking money , I bought one from a hosting site and they where good but it cost me over 400. bucks for a year of hosting , 40 bucks to buy my name, and 20 bucks for 2 emails off my website. Ouch right. So I was like okay I will try this out. I want a website , well I watched this movie and I was in awa. There is a new company out called .ws and it is selling website hosting for 10.00 dollars a month . NO CATCH. You host with them and they will give you your name free , its yours for life and 10 emails. This sounds too good to be true right. That's what I thought, but no it gets better. They give you the option of just hosting a website with them or hosting a website and making money with them . They will set you up to sell their sites only you don't have to do any selling unless you want to. All you have to do is supple a link to your site because it sells itself and the best best best part YOU CAN TRY YOUR WEBSITE FREE FOR 7 DAYS and if you like it keep it for life for only 10 dollars a month , that's 120. a year. TRY TO FIND A BETTER HOSTING ANYWHERE ELSE , I DARE YOU.

But why am i telling you this , just watch the video yourself and see.
click on the cool banner that they gave me for my blog site under "my job", and watch the video about the business , then make your choice you can join the business or just host a website , when you host a website it still gives you all the business stuff free to keep , if you change your mind you can do anything with no extra cost.

Anyway I am so happy I cant stop smiling, and my family think I am crazy because I have been walking around with a grin on my face. I will tell you what I had a great idea , the first person who try's my website for 7 days and does not like it and lets me now here, then I WILL PAY FOR THEIR WEBSITE HOSTING WITH ME FOR 1 YEAR. That's 1 year of free hosting on .ws , that's a deal you can not loss .

I WANT YOU TO SMILE LIKE I AM AND BE HAPPY WITH ME.

Can it be done ? Make money from home

I have decided to see if you can make enough money from home to survive in this economy .
So I have joined a website called "Home Job Group" , They have a membership fee of 45.00 and its a 1 time fee that is returnable if you don't like the company within 2 months. This company works with other companies to set you up to work from home doing contract jobs. You go online and take a look at the companies that list what jobs they are hiring for and apply for them . There are tons of different types of jobs. Some last only days to months to permanent. Many you don't need training for or they pay for your training. The only thing is they do not take out taxes , so you have to keep a track of all the money sent to you trough pay pal and check form and take off 25 percent of each payment. This 25 percent will have to go in a bank account set up just for it , so that when you have to do your taxes and the government says you owe them the money you have it to pay them . This means that no mater what you can not touch that money no mater how much you need it or want to . NO TOUCHING. I am going to try many different types of jobs.

The first of the jobs

Paid Surveys - There are many companies out there that will pay you to take surveys so that they can get your opinion on their new products. Now you can not expect to make a lot of money doing this and you need to apply to more then 20 companies . I talked to a woman who does this as a full time thing but she does this for over 250 companies. This is what I am going to try and do .
So far I am a participant for 30 survey companies and I have been doing this for 2 days.
You need to fill out a lot of profile surveys to get the paying surveys but so far I have found it worth it. Also some companies offer other incentives for participating like gift cards and free products .

Helping Sites - Many help sites and forms need help answering the questions of the people who come to there site. I have come across 2 sites that are free to join and pay you to answer questions , 1 only pays people in the USA to answer questions but Canadians can answer questions and not get paid ( Ya right as if I would do that) , the other site you get .20 cents a question you help answer. Every time you make 20 dollar it is sent to your pay pal right away. So I joined that site.

Blogging For Money -on Home Job Group this blogging company is looking for people to blog and they pay for each blog you write. So I have applied there and hope to hear back from them , because I love blogging and I think I am getting great at it. So fingers crossed.

Every day I will leave an update on how my work is working out and we will see how it goes , at the end of the week I will post how much I have made.
