Ten Things I Learned from the Pioneer Woman

I wrote this last year, but I just ran across it again.  PW is something else.  If only I could manage one single Saturday where soccer did not conflict with her show.  Come on Food Network, put that show up On Demand.

Ten Things I Learned from the Pioneer Woman

10 – There are other people out there that let their unique obsessions drive their activities for the day.  (FYI- I thought of this entire list while decorating cookies shaped like beakers, test tubes, flasks, and atoms for my chemist husband.)

9 – Eating lots of butter makes me happy.  ( So much for the low fat years.  If only we could find that Wii Fit disk.)

8 – Someone else on this earth may have wanted a pig as much as my middle child.  (A pig was just about all he asked for on his Christmas list for 6 years in a row.  Needless to say, he is difficult to shop for.)

7 – I can make toffee that actually tastes like toffee.  (Have not even tried in over 10 years because the previous attempts were THAT bad.)

6 – I really did want a big camera that does not fit in my pocket again, so I can take even more amazing photos than I thought possible.  ( Just looks like a big necklace.)

5 – That I am not lucky in the lottery winning way.  (I have entered every darn contest and won nothing, nadda, zippo.  At least I am lucky in the family, love, and life way.)

4 - I should make cheesecake again, even if I can’t use nuts.  The magic cheesecake is back!  (Everyone just melts when they eat it.)

3 – Baths are a necessity for sanity.  (And the Spongelle sure makes them even better.)

2 – It is ok to love your camera almost as much as your family.

1 – Somewhere out there, another person thinks that she really can accomplish 144 hours worth of tasks in a single day, and does accomplish 72 worth.
