Flipping through the cable channels I came upon the Food Network. Have you seen Paula Deen’s cooking show? She is a wonderful cooking show hostess – a great personality and charming in a totally Southern Belle way. I’ve bought two of her cookbooks and one of her magazines. I think I’m going to just subscribe to her magazine – I love the recipes and the photographs that show me what the finished dish is supposed to look like. And everything turns out yummy!
Paula’s two sons cook, too. They have a couple of cookbooks out on their own. I bought one at Sam’s Club and will go back for the other one next week. I bought the one called “Recipes from the Road,” which features the local recipes from famous eateries on their road trip across America. I can’t wait to try some of them after I shop for their ingredients!

There is something magical about putting together a kite and then watching it dance on the wind. Most people can figure out pretty quickly how to tug the string and launch a kite, then give it a little more string to soar higher and higher.
We found a new kite at the local K-Mart called a “finger kite” for only $2 in the toy section. They are little pieces of flexible plastic, shaped like airplanes, birds and other animals. It comes with a little plastic spool of string that fits over your finger and you wind it up by hand. The kite tail is very long and made out of the same thing that cassette tapes are made from, but in different colors. In fact, if you ever have to replace the kite tail, just pull the tape from an old cassette and tape it on the finger kite, and you are good to go.

Decided to take advantage of the President’s Day sales and go shopping today. Went to the outlet mall and picked up a couple Big Dog shirts for hubby. Tried to find my cologne, Realities by Liz Claiborne, but the Liz store didn’t have any – just lots of the Curve fragrances. I really like the Realities and am holding off buying anything else until I check around town a few more places. Sure hope they haven’t discontinued it – that would bite.
Wrapped up the day at Dilliards and lucked into a great find. There’s a new line of jeans called, NYDJ, which stands for “not your daughter’s jeans.” These are an upscale, stylish jean with special features for a more mature woman, which I very much appreciate. They fit perfectly and look HOT! They are usually just over $100, but I got a pair at 20% off. Thank you very much George Washington!
