Green Thumb, not I

if I plant something, it is going to die. That's a fact.  No matter what I do my flowers never seem to survive.  I wish I knew how much money I have spent on hanging plants in my lifetime, only to have them dry up, burn up, or die from too much moisture.  So, don't ask me why we decided to plant tomato and pepper plants this year, but we did....

Jalapeno and Banana Peppers
When we were making our purchases at Home Depot I told the cashier that this was my first "As seen On TV Purchase".  And actually, I was really excited about it, but also felt like we should be ordering it off of the infomercial so that we could get two for the price of one, plus a free chopper, slicer, a set of knives, storage containers and one can only imagine what else, all for $19.99 with separate S&H, of course.

So yes, without even having to think about it twice, we purchased a Topsy Turvy! Actually we purchased two, one for peppers and one for tomatoes.  I am thinking this is a sure way for us to plant some produce and them actually survive.  Surely they will survive.... Has anyone tried these and had any luck? 


Heirloom tomatoes
My biggest fear to our little cityfied farm is this guy right here.  There is a reason we call him the wonder mutt. If it is destroyable, he will destroy it. I don't even like to think about what he did to our hammock. Air Jordan has nothing on this dog.

I will keep you posted on the progress of our new plants and hopefully in about 70 days we will have 30+ pounds of tomatoes and more peppers than we can think about eating! Hey, a girl can dream, right?

Alas, Mexi Rolls

Could it get any better than this? Maybe, but not likely.  What are the odds that this small town in Wyoming, that we now proudly call home, has a Taco John's ?  Now, not everyone here has the same respect for the Potato Ole's, cheese dip, Pizza burger and Mexi Rolls that I do, mainly people that are from Texas and just don't understand the concept of Mexican fast food. However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home.  And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...

Superbowl Party XLVI

With the Superbowl only days away, and more than 100 million people gathering to watch the big event in their homes, my goal is to make your bash the party to remember.  The number one thing the Superbowl does is bring people together (which could be both a bad and good thing), so fire up the grill and break out the hot wings and cheese dip folks because it's time for some football! According to an article I was reading in a Billings Gazette  insert, there are some rules that you can follow to ensure your party-goers have a foolproof time. FOUR RULES FOR A FOOLPROOF TIME: 1.   Give guests a choice of party zones.   Who says you only have to have one viewing area?  Have more than one TV set up and tuned into the game.  One can be used for those die hard football fanatics who want to see every play and call of the game and the other for the chatters and snackers.  A basement or a media room would be perfect for the die hard fans and then a TV in the...
