Free Business Cards

Not all of you are on Facebook or perhaps don't even have the slightest desire to be on Facebook.  I'm all about it one day and the next it's kind of "Meh".

But, for those of you who ARE on Facebook, I'm sure you have heard all about setting up your Timeline page.  The above photo is what my Timeline page has looked like at the very top for the past few days.  I change that photo often, just like I do on my blog header...

because I CAN, so don't get judgy with ME!

Now, if you have your Timeline page set up with your favorite photo and your fave profile pic of yourself, you can then order free business cards.  They are great cards because they are from Moo Cards and everyone knows about Moo cards, right?  Right?

Business cards for your blog!

*crickets*

But you do have to pay shipping.

To get your free box of 50 Moo business cards, go to your Timeline page and just below your Timeline photo click on the little blue About.

That will take you to another page.

Scroll down that page and look in the Contact Info square which is in the lower right hand corner of that page.

In that square, just to the right of where it says

Contact Info,  you will see a small blue square.

Click on that and it will walk you through how to make your cards.

OH... when you are done, don't change your Timeline photo or profile photo until after you get an e-mail from Moo cards stating that your order has shipped.  If you change it it could mess up the entire process.

Have fun!

Pretty Peas and Salmon

 Walking the walk and talking the talk.

If you followed along here the past couple of weeks you will remember *or perhaps not*, that I had my annual physical and from the blood results made the decision, along with my doctor's prompting, to eat differently.

Turkey sausage burgers made right here at home have been high on my list of snackaroonies.

I keep a plate of them in the fridge and will be making another batch of them today since they are GONE!

Hubby decided that salmon patties would also be a good thing, and he totally enjoys salmon

So, salmon was on Saturday's grocery list and we found a great recipe for the patties HERE.

Of course we fudged a bit since we didn't have fresh parsley and used dry, and we didn't have dry mustard so we used wet.

Creamed peas over salmon patties was a meal my mother made when I was growing up, and to be honest with you, as a child I could not eat peas.  They would literally gag me.

But I've grown into a VERY sophisticated pea loving adult over the years and veggies are now a food group completely and utterly appreciated in this house.

Hubby still turns his nose up at peas, so he had a different veggie with his salmon patties... on the side and not on top.

 I am recommending this salmon pattie recipe from Allrecipes.com.

We used fresh Atlantic salmon since we don't eat the farm grown salmon.

Totally delicious!

Here is the link to the recipe for

Oregon Salmon Patties.

Enjoy, all you fish lovers!!

Slipping and Sliding Photos

 Saturday morning I woke up early, had a cup of coffee and some breakfast.

Bent down over the sofa to give sweet Izzy a kiss on the noggin and then decided to sit next to her a bit.

 I sat, but for some reason became dizzy and my butt slipped from the edge of the cushion and I slipped off onto the floor.

I tried to get back up but the dizziness made me stumble as I got up and I nearly hit a wall.

 "Well, this is odd", I thought to myself, and so I headed to the bedroom and told Hubby what had just happened, got back into bed and slept another hour or two.

When I awoke for the second time that day the sun was streaming in through the master bathroom's window casting shadows onto the curtain. So I grabbed the point and shoot and snapped a few photos in different camera modes. 

 They made me happy.

And the dizziness was gone.

Peas In A Dish

Yesterday as I was driving home from grocery shopping a cloud of doom suddenly set down on me and I became a bit morbid.

There have been numerous times that not having our last will and testaments written has crossed my mind over the past five years.

For some reason my husband doesn't feel this is necessary, the 'having all our peas in a dish' or 'our business in order' or as my dad would have said..... 'ducks in a row'.

Hubby thinks that if he does nothing that "everything will be left to you", meaning me.

Not so.....

If a person has no last will and testament written and witnessed by someone who is not going to inherit, the state makes these decisions for the person who has passed... the decendent.

AND,

when there are his children, and her children there are also rules that apply.

Why he balks at having a will that spells everything out is

beyond me. Perhaps he thinks the act of having a will serves as

an omen of death?  It seems to bother him to even discuss what the other would do if one of us dies before the other,  almost as though it is a taboo subject that he just can't deal with.

*sigh*

And so today, while he is consulting, my plan is to find forms online, print them out, and stick them under his nose, or on his desk, or in a place highly visible to him for when he comes home.

Time to get the ducks in a row, not due to our health but rather our age.

Then I'm going to sit down to a healthy bowl of peas in a dish for

lunch with a turkey sausage burger

and live a long and healthy life.
