Not Yet

No my computer isnt fix yet : - (   Ive looked at new pcs and now Im looking into just fixing this one.  I cant believe how much they want to fix it.  I believe I can fix it with just switching from XP to Vista (or so I hope)  XP has taken up so much space on here.  Im keeping my fingers crossed for this weekend.  I missed scrapbooking so much that I had to try to do something so below is what happened (couldnt get to fancy because pc would freeze but the kit is so great that I love the 2 pages I did do)
Two weeks ago I saw where a lady was giving away 4 chickens and I emailed her.  To make a long story short I now have 4 new chickens who are doing GREAT!  They are so cute, 3 are frizzles (instead of their feathers laying back they curl forward)  I havent gotten any pictures yet, they are still very shy, she didnt handle them at all but slowly they are coming out and figuring out I have the food.  I got 3 hens (all frizzle) and 1 rooster, just what I needed was another rooster, already had 3 but he was raised with the 3 hens, they have never been apart and I wasnt going to be the one to seperate him from his ladies.  He loves to crow and is a good boy so thats ok.
This is the first week I havent had to work extra shifts and it feels good to be home 2 days in a row.  Yesterday I made homemade oven caramel corn, it is sooooo good!  Very easy to make too:
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup corn syrup
Boil above for 5 minutes, romove from heat and add 1 tsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. butter flavoring.
Pour over popped popcorn and stir well.  Place that all into the oven at 200 for 1 hour.  Stir every 15 minutes.
As for how much popcorn to make we use a hot air popper and do it 2 times so maybe 1 cup (Im guessing here)  It fills a large roasting pan.
Thats it!  I have to make another batch today because Jessyca and I gave over half of it away to a cousin visiting from CA.  Of course Jessyca wants to bring some into her class and I want to give some more away.  Ill be making that today and some cookies also.  I guess Im in a baking mood lol

Yea!! Robin's almost back with us. Hoping that you get your fix done soon so you can come play with us again.

Closing up the camper this weekend. Carmen is in camper withdrawal already. I'm looking for doggie prozac for her.

Take care you!
