It evolved into a money saving educational tool for friends and family. As time has marched on, I have discovered that I have achieved goals that I set 5 years ago...and declared them right here!
I can't promise a daily or even a yearly update, but there are some wonderful resources on this blog, and I want to have them available to you!
I love left turns! Let's see where this one takes us!

Here is a photo album of all the great photos taken by Michelle Lewis with <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.myfancyphoto.com">My Fancy Photo.</a> We had fun introducing ourselves, inspirational demonstrations of uses for Smash Books, and a truly inspiring devotional letting us know the importance of journaling to clear our minds of all the day in day out garbage and allow for real personal and spiritual growth.<br /><br />Comments after the party have been amazing! Of course everyone had a great time, we always do, but this time, I wanted to provide the environment for some real personal reflection. <br /><br />Around the room, I decorated with inspirational thoughts. Many are from my friend, <a href="http://www.jamesfedordesign.com/">Jim Fedor, who is a Master Calligrapher</a> for Hallmark Cards. <a href="http://www.mindart.org/">Here is his other website!</a><br /><br />I chose the people I wanted to invite carefully. Knowing that there are busy schedules and prior engagements, I set out to invite 35 people with the promise that if they attend, they may bring a friend. All in all we had 18 people attend. Every attendee brought a canned good to share with the food bank. When I gathered it up to go over to the local church, it took two men to carry everything into the sanctuary! What a joy that was. I was going to take a photo and post all about how much food we gathered, but I decided that was innappropriate, people gave from their hearts and they received from my heart!<br /><br />In keeping with my crafting philosophy, all gifts I give, I give from My Hear To Yours.... enjoy the slide show:<br /><br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-cb.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3170534137718266827&site=widget-cb.slide.com" style="width: 400px; height: 320px;" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width: 400px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=ph&id=3170534137718266827&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-cb.slide.com/p1/3170534137718266827/bb_t016_v000_s0ph_f00/images/xslide1.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=ph&id=3170534137718266827&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-cb.slide.com/p2/3170534137718266827/bb_t016_v000_s0ph_f00/images/xslide2.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=ph&id=3170534137718266827&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-cb.slide.com/p4/3170534137718266827/bb_t016_v000_s0ph_f00/images/xslide42.gif" ismap="ismap" border="0" /></a></div></div>Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-75069244652126763632011-06-28T10:10:00.000-07:002011-06-28T10:21:32.169-07:00Happy Summer Everyone!I told you in my last post about Procrastination! I'm the QUEEN of procrastination! All these ideas running around in my head, but with no action behind them, they sit idle. <br /><br />It's time to start making a rumble, stand up and be counted! I've been working steadfastly on my couponing project. I realized half way through that what people really need is a kick in the butt, just like me, to get out there and make things happen. So I started to break things up into bite size pieces, each one is a great project idea on its own and would made a great product. I truly believe that eventually, when everything is done... the sum of the parts will far exceed the totality of the whole.<br /><br />THAT is exciting for me because as I market my knowledge, I can let people purchase at the level they are interested in. I have some friends who want to completely duplicate ME in them! That's great, as they say in the commercials for smart phones: "There's an App for that!" <br /><br />Other friends just want to know how to save $60.00 a week on their grocery bill... there's a product for that as well.<br /><br />I'm just over the moon with excitement and can't wait to share it with everyone.<br /><br />On a personal note, it's summer... the grass keeps growing and we have no desire to cut it. Missouri is HOT and HUMID! Last weekend, I spread more grass seed, in hopes of choking out all the weeds. I have been diligent in watering, keeping it moist... but no sproutlings. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll keep buying seed, spreading it and watering it, and maybe we will have some green before winter!<br /><br />Tutoring has been very busy this summer. I am so excited to have 8 new students. Each one comes with their own abilities and disabilities. They know, by time I'm done working with them, that they can do ANYTHING they desire. Put the work in, get the results out! Life kinda works that way, doesn't it!<br /><br />No garden this year... I think I shared last year about the $200 worth of organic dirt that we brought in. That was fun. Our friends came and rototilled, we planted hearty plants only to watch them all die. Out of 30 tomato plants, we reaped a grand total of 2 pint size zip locks full of cherry tomatoes! WOO HOOO! let's do that again! NOT. There were 3 reasons for our garden failure... First, you have to weed. Again, we don't even mow our lawn but once a week... WHO WEEDS? Secondly, last summer was very strange. It was too hot at night. The tomatoes demand a temperature differential between day and night. It was 95 degrees at night too. Lastly, even after we cut down all our Walnut trees, our neighbors still have them. The walnut tree sends out a poison that kills any and all tomatoes within a 25 yard radius of the tree. The neighbors have quite a few trees, there is no escaping this!<br /><br />I promise you that we will be very careful about where we buy our next property. Don't panic... we aren't moving anytime soon. However, we would like to buy some land near the new Temple, and make sure that there is plenty of room to plant our own food.<br /><br />Happy summer everyone, gotta run!Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-77793062854519873492011-03-23T08:07:00.000-07:002011-03-23T08:15:32.714-07:00Procrastination and FEARWho said, there is nothing to fear but fear itself? I think they are totally wrong with their spiral thinking.<br /><br />Today, I feel like I am skydiver who walks around all day on the ground still wearing the parachute in case I fall. I am a skydiver who has never been in the plane with the door open, never felt that rush, never had to leap...yet I walk around prepared as if someone will push me off terra firma and I have to depend on grasping for survival.<br /><br />There are BIG plans in the works for Katie. Katie is sitting at her desk taking her last college final and the question is, "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU WILL NOT FAIL?"<br /><br />I guess it's time to figure out how to take the prophylactic parachute OFF, and not use it again until I PLAN on jumping out of a plane.<br /><br />I don't know where the release button is, but I know somewhere on my chest there is a toggle button that if I press it, I become free. Where is it? How will I know when the right time to drop the pack will be? What if I need to put it back on in a hurry? What does it feel like to walk around without the safety net?Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-46501549709852601822011-02-15T21:02:00.000-08:002011-02-15T21:16:58.262-08:00Coupon Class HandoutsPlease remember that most of the documents provided are proprietary in nature.

I guess I didn't have anything exciting to say, and that's just fine :) I wanted to share some pictures of the ice spikes outside my window. I titled this, The Day After Tomorrow, because the climate reminds me of that movie when everything froze. We just got 1 foot of snow, driven snow this week. The entire Midwest got hit with a Blizzard. I took the time to scan old family photos and can some salsa!<br /><br />So enjoy the ice spikes!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijQWbstab-9k5n8eJ4aVnXtsxdC8_KQR9_ClXVVZ4uksa0UAL5vuQ08I9iG7T69r0nC5wDnP_Su-SKSNHg5D5gAqCMod4uktP_TA7XZHrHMT7k7Rfw-mYDqCZWPLUivw1EgM5R4H967xC1/s1600/icespikes+010.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijQWbstab-9k5n8eJ4aVnXtsxdC8_KQR9_ClXVVZ4uksa0UAL5vuQ08I9iG7T69r0nC5wDnP_Su-SKSNHg5D5gAqCMod4uktP_TA7XZHrHMT7k7Rfw-mYDqCZWPLUivw1EgM5R4H967xC1/s400/icespikes+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569663526676365474" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQy-Hiz362lYEU7RQyBizwmyGXqWILCoaMQ8wTBOlQSW3SEGHEAxGw0Y0qqAoZAVxN0UyLcU59nHxeIqp_8Q514BOiH-8h_EEB8tpjqjmYHK6UQpMjepWhO_vH3j6_JGTBLJ2yOnvfUoSB/s1600/icespikes+005.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQy-Hiz362lYEU7RQyBizwmyGXqWILCoaMQ8wTBOlQSW3SEGHEAxGw0Y0qqAoZAVxN0UyLcU59nHxeIqp_8Q514BOiH-8h_EEB8tpjqjmYHK6UQpMjepWhO_vH3j6_JGTBLJ2yOnvfUoSB/s400/icespikes+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569663520501364434" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Oh yea, Follow up on the <a href="http://katiepaper.blogspot.com/2010/01/daily-yuck.html">Daily Yuck</a> post from a couple of years back: Soy Joy came out with a facebook page. They posted an ad where they were asking FB users to comment about their Soy Joy Bars. I took the opportunity to give them some SOLICITED yet HONEST feedback.. To sum it up: Yuck, your bars are gross, nearly gagged. You get the idea. I also mentioned that I blogged about how gross they were, and the Soy Joy guy responded that yes, they had read my blog! I want that job, I want to go looking for BAD YUCKY Soy Joy posts on the internet and keep track of them just in case. Anyway... they wanted to send me their new flavor, well... they mailed them to me, I opened the pouch and I have actually refused to try them. Funny thing... the Soy Joy guy said that I must have tried their OLD Flavors. Well... old or new, they are gross.Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-67891404019364349452010-09-07T11:06:00.000-07:002010-09-07T11:14:11.346-07:00Pookie's Revenge, Part I<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZdqRG_ThaynvvtngLxUlttBL9GABRP7mZ9qv127MwEwbJ7qr9iNGhKhVg6aYb8t4lP4boK72K9pym_gglG5vl9est7m3e3Gcxknrl1x7JLwUmnSJsKpmHAGjOLlVKY4Hd8UZQHhyRu8B/s1600/Snapshot_20091119_67.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZdqRG_ThaynvvtngLxUlttBL9GABRP7mZ9qv127MwEwbJ7qr9iNGhKhVg6aYb8t4lP4boK72K9pym_gglG5vl9est7m3e3Gcxknrl1x7JLwUmnSJsKpmHAGjOLlVKY4Hd8UZQHhyRu8B/s400/Snapshot_20091119_67.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514236485636759554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46BkDdAq-Ne2-lUxcg-PgzGDkf84nRtd_T4RKAuoBSWhQawHn5KQ195MSbrCL9JMiGezER4_Q2UGN11NbC-oqYPFwf9ehlbd-4x7ld4RUIxuzjT7n3Eg9WIoJ9h91cgxESYCCgFZdV13t/s1600/Snapshot_20091119_37.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46BkDdAq-Ne2-lUxcg-PgzGDkf84nRtd_T4RKAuoBSWhQawHn5KQ195MSbrCL9JMiGezER4_Q2UGN11NbC-oqYPFwf9ehlbd-4x7ld4RUIxuzjT7n3Eg9WIoJ9h91cgxESYCCgFZdV13t/s400/Snapshot_20091119_37.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514236220488234258" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">by Allison<br /></div><br /> One morning around 10 oโclock Pookie woke up and wandered down the stairs, as he was creeping up on his food bowl when he saw that it was empty. Pookie could see the very bottom of his baby blue bowl. โGgggrrrrrโ his little tummy kept making that sound, he jumped of the little night stand (that is where they kept his food so the dogs would not get it) and he walked over to go to his cat box, to his disgust, it was filthy. There was no way that he could even walk into it. Pookie was furious he could not stand it anylonger; no little kitty should have to deal with this. It was time for the ultimate revenge, POOKIEโS REVENGE!!!!!!!!!!! <br /> He crept ever so quietly up the stairs and in to the living room where he left presents (both kinds if you know what I mean) behind the big screen TV. After he was done he went to go hide under his momโs bed, because that is where she kept all of her stuffed animals. Pookie hid his body behind the animals but he laid hid head by some of the other animals so he could blind in, but it was too late she had found him. The next thing that he knew was he being pulled out from under the bed. Then the most odd thing happened, instead of being mad at Pookie all she said โpookie thatโs a bad kittyโ and gave him a kiss in the nose. Then she let him go, he went to go found a place to take a nap. On top of Sunshine the, old yellow lab. <br />Sunshine or Sunny as they called her was very old and her bones hurt her so she never really got up. She would get up to go to the bathroom but nothing else; when it came to eating they would bring her food bowl to her. Sunny was really nice to Pookie. She really did not care one way or another what he did, and he liked to take naps on her, she is so soft and warm. Sunny is the best place to take a nap.<br />After his nap he was hungry so he went back down stairs to his food bowl. But as he rounded the corner he saw it, the big ugly rankles that covered the โitโ dog named Luci, she was sleeping on the pull out couch. What was he going to do? He couldnโt be seen; ever so quietly he army crawled on the floor around the โthingโ named Luci. He made it safely to his food bowl without being seen. But there was one problem there was no food in it, he jumped down to go look at his litter box, it was aโฆโฆโฆ. he could not think of anything to say.<br />This time he went into his momโs room and into the back of her closet, I bet you can guess what he did. If you guessed that he left presents you are 100% right! If I was a little kitty I would do the same thing, itโs just not fair! I bet you would feel the same way that Pookie does. What would you do if the same thing happened to you? You would take action and do something about it, would you not?<br />The next thing that happened was to very angry girls where fighting about him, his mom was in t-r-o-u-b-l-e because of not feeding him and making sure that him box was clean. She got threatened that if she did not keep up on cleaning out his box that Pookie would get taken away and would become someone elseโs new kitty. Letโs just say that she never forgot to change the litter again.<br /><br />In the end Pookieโs tummy was always full and he always had a nice clean box.Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-16063731499262951052010-09-07T11:04:00.000-07:002010-09-07T11:11:35.919-07:00Pookie's Revenge, Part II<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDghpi-D_svqr6M63c3ptVI3sji4jDZgVR5e5YPcV49lGh09UXVEoISxJZxlkLc7sGW4w4l221AXwUCXUNhnVg6JLeEaqEtFZaqDvJ1Loiw0kWEyzg176PL5TklKvq9m9GyTyOuKhAzgR/s1600/fdhdfhd.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 166px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDghpi-D_svqr6M63c3ptVI3sji4jDZgVR5e5YPcV49lGh09UXVEoISxJZxlkLc7sGW4w4l221AXwUCXUNhnVg6JLeEaqEtFZaqDvJ1Loiw0kWEyzg176PL5TklKvq9m9GyTyOuKhAzgR/s400/fdhdfhd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514235887267963842" border="0" /></a><br />Pookieโs Revenge, Part II by Allison and Katie<br /><br /><br />When we first saw our hero, he was happily sleeping on Allieโs bed after leaving โpresentsโ all over the laundry room floor. Long after the carpet was removed, the satisfaction of a lesson well taught remained. Presently, Pookie, the wonder cat, learns of a cat party just down the block. Word on the street is that a neighbor cat, Gabe, is missing his mother. She went on vacation. What a horrible thing for a kitty mamma to do. Gabe decided that it was a great time to throw a party. He and his brother, Victor, gathered treats such as Ritz Crackers, Marshmallows, and other dry kibble. Gabe managed to wrangle some extra cat nip from his Grandma Curtis who was babysitting. Little did Grandma Curtis know what was about to transpire, but she gave in, and poured extra cat nip on the floor. Victor started to rub his head all over the catnip as Gabe snipped, โNot now Victor! Thatโs for the party!โ Victor just pouted and walked away. Gabe had a better plan in mind for the catnip.<br />Pookie, who lived down the block, got word from Lucy, who heard it from the twin Siameese next door that there was a party at Gabeโs house that night. Soon enough, the party time was there. Pookie sneaked out of his house with a toy mouse to serve as a hostess present. Pookie strutted down the block to Gabeโs apartment.<br />โMow wow,โ howled Pookie. โWhat a beautiful place you have here.โ<br />โThank you, and you are?โ inquired Gabe.<br />โIโm Pookie, live down the street, brought you a mouse, heard your MOM was out of town, cool dude!โ replied Pookie.<br />โAh Haโฆ yeah, she went to Missouri to go see her boyfriend,โ Gabe sang.<br />โHow are you getting along without her?โ I asked.<br />โVery easy,โ Victor interrupted, โGrandma Curtis comes in a couple times a day to play and feed us, the litter box is clean, but you know how it goesโฆ we still miss her.โ<br />โOh, the last time my humans made me mad (bowl empty, litter box empty), I took things into my own paws.โ Pookie explained. โI left the smelliest present for her in her closet.โ<br />Victor asked, โwhat happened after that?โ<br />Pookie told the tale of how unacceptable the living conditions were at his house. Sure, he had a nice fluffy bed and a wonderful kitty mamma who gave him tons of kisses, but one day his bowl was empty. What does a cat have to do to get some food around here? Well, he continued, โI got her attention.โ <br />Soon enough, five other animals arrived. There was a squirrel and four other cats who joined the festivities. Pookie never knew that squirrels smelled so funny. They donโt like catnip either. Itโs not the right kind of weed. Pookie, Victor, Gabe and the other four cats rolled and sniffed the chunky green stuff making sure to grind it into the carpet. Soon enough everyone was just lounging around and enjoying the crackers. Gabe was still lamenting about how much he missed his mamma.<br />โWell,โ Pookie sneered, โ she will be back soon enough and you need to take charge. You need to make sure she never leaves you for six weeks again.โ<br />โI do have a good caretaker, she comes andโฆ,โreplied Gabe.<br />โBUT ITโS NOT THE SAME!โ growled Pookie.<br />โSo this is what you do isโฆโ Pookie purred as he started to flash back to his own experience.<br />Meanwhile, Gabe and Victorโs mamma was on a plane, only six short hours from home. Their mamma freaked out when she saw the crumbs all over the floor. Evidence of the party was strewn all over the apartment. Grandma Curtis tried to explain that everything was wonderful while she was gone. The kitties were just fine. They slept most of the time. That night, Gabe, Victor and their momma snuggled as they slept. Everyone seemed happy and content. The next morning, momma woke up and made breakfast. She usually ate breakfast by her computer so she could check e-mail and do her computer stuff. The aroma of bacon and eggs permeated the air. Life was bliss. Suddenly, momma looked closely at her computer chairโฆthere was a freshly made present right in the middle of her chair.<br />Looking back, the party had been a huge success. Thankfully for Gabe, he met Pookie, the wonder cat, who taught his momma a great lesson. Taking his advice, Gabe made sure that his momma knew exactly how he felt about her being gone so long.<br />To all the other kitties out there, let this be a lesson, sometimes the food bowl might be empty, your litter box dirty, and your momma might be gone; but most the time your momma is right there, the bowl is full and the box is clean. So please never leave presents behind the TV, in the closet, in the laundry room, or the computer chair. Be thankful and enjoy the kisses!Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-46189008695230823302010-02-14T07:30:00.000-08:002010-02-14T05:44:53.391-08:00Enquiring Minds Want To Know<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4XZ21NWkZx9keG-SgwOaNr6r51cLeLukmJbjvhbWeIX_NunITjl25q1NXTDgzA9Rrl26j0Z2iLasUF1N9y4lOh_-vMqUYSJ2Y6OewgW8zrH4V9JCydFUMH0JkC4_QIHiHr9gKxrwzpb0/s1600-h/140629LG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy4XZ21NWkZx9keG-SgwOaNr6r51cLeLukmJbjvhbWeIX_NunITjl25q1NXTDgzA9Rrl26j0Z2iLasUF1N9y4lOh_-vMqUYSJ2Y6OewgW8zrH4V9JCydFUMH0JkC4_QIHiHr9gKxrwzpb0/s400/140629LG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438029901762186930" border="0" /></a>

<br />Nice to Meet
<br /></div>
<br />Okay, before you read the rest of my post, it might be important background to know that I have been in the hospital since Friday morning with gastroenteritis. Food poisoning. Joy! It's now 3 am on Sunday and I have some observations for you. My sweet husband brought my lap top, so I do not have to be completely unplugged of the world.
<br />
<br />Here is a list of crap that needs to be in a bag before you go to the ER:
<br />toothbrush
<br />toothpaste
<br />chap stick
<br />BRUSH/COMB
<br />conditioner
<br />slippers
<br />Q-tips
<br />dental floss
<br />list of medications
<br />insurance card
<br />
<br />Here is what to know BEFORE you get to the ER:
<br />
<br />If there is a wait for you to bee seen, get a Eme-Bag and barf in the waiting room! Win!
<br />
<br />Pooping, Peeing, and Puking (the 3 P's of the Hospital) are encouraged!
<br />
<br />Know what your deductible/ co-pay is so that when they offer to admit you to the hospital you will be quick to smile and know that your insurance, like in my case, waived the ER copay when I was admitted. :) Win!

<br />When the doc proposed me staying here what went through my mind.....GOOD! I don't have to DRINK all the fluids that are needed to replenish my system! Win! GOOD! I don't have to go pay $12.00 per prescription at CVS (although I'm sure I have a coupon somewhere) for 2 or 3 doses of anti nausea meds. Win!
<br />
<br />My sweet Mark won't have to put up with me tossing and turning and being miserable! Win! Win! Win!
<br />
<br />Here is a list of things that absolutely ROCK about the hospital:
<br />
<br /><ol><li>When you can finally eat, they will bring you whatever you want, when ever you want it. Doesn't mean that it is edible, but the safe bets are: pudding, jello, apple juice and pop. </li><li>They will answer EVERY time you hit that button, even if you hit it by accident.
<br /></li></ol>Here is a list of things that absolutely SUCK about the hospital:
<br />
<br /><ol><li>They have shampoo, but no conditioner</li><li>you can't get more than 30minutes of sleep before one of the following will occur: full bladder, empty IV bag, check vitals, here's your food tray, are you done with your food tray? I need to take you to x-ray, would you like to take a shower? Can I listen to your lungs, Good morning, I'm your nurse today, **old phone rings*** Hey, is Kathryn Sparks there? "No, she died, we just cleaned the room and now I am here" (oh wait, I wasn't thinking fast enough to have that reply)... you get the picture</li><li>They push fluids in you until you can fill a Big Gulp cup every time you pee!!!</li><li>Even with great snacks you are still starving.</li><li>You are tired even though you "could" sleep anytime you want. Whatever</li><li>The IV machine is possessed.</li><li>The remote is attached to the wall and weighs about 5 pounds.</li><li>You have to shower with a veterinarian glove on to keep your IV port dry... you know the glove I'm talking about! MOO!!!!</li><li>The "socks"</li><li>Channel surfing involves 10 channels!
<br /></li></ol>I'm sure I have more, but I'm tired again and ready for my 20 minutes of sleep!
<br />
<br />
<br />7:30 am New excuse to interrupt my sleep.... Knock Knock...good morning, I'm just checking to see if you are wearing oxygen, looks like you are not. Close door, exit orderly.

Every year, the <a href="http://nkcrotary.org/">Rotary Club</a> here in Kansas City travels to Jamaica to do a Medical/ Dental mission. This is very near and dear to my heart because I want to be a Medical Missionary some day and go do cleft palate surgeries with Doctors Without Borders or through my church. Either way, it will be a wonderful thing to truly change someone's life!<br /><br />But for now, as I sit studying for that MCAT, I took a break to make some coloring book packets and the most fun.... FELT FINGER PUPPETS!!! Here are some of the critters that I created last night while watching TV with my sweet hubby.

True, if there is something worthy of eating... I'll eat it, but these SOYJOY bars are NOT what I call edible.<br /><br />I went to CVS, my regular couponing haunt and got 6 boxes of these things for free. That's RIGHT! For FREE!!!!! They are about $7.49 but they were on sale for $6.00 and then you got 6 ECB's back when you purchased a box, limit 6. I thought I was so clever stocking up on these pieces of poo. I imagined a whole shelf dedicated to Soyjoy bars in my food storage room. YUCK. I was on my way to pick up Mark at work and driving rather slow due to a snow storm. I decided, hey... I'll pretend I'm stranded and try one of the bars... OMGOSH, I almost threw up! They are not good. At first, I simply licked the nasty poop like Yoda when he tried Luke's power bar. See above if you have been sleeping for the last 33 years. After that, I thought, mmmmmmYUCK. They smell like poo, they look like cardboard baked with pieces of fruit rollup in them, but taste worst than anything I have ever tried.<br /><br />I recommend PASSING on these nasty things and don't waste your time collecting them, even if they are FREE!!!!!!!

Okay.... let it snow!<br /><br />I guess Kansas City has not had a Blizzard since 1982. That's a long time to wait for a storm like this! Since we have no place to go and no where we have to be, I say let it snow! The most annoying part is listening to the little ice pellets hit the windows, but that won't last long. If we are in for a true blizzard, it will start to snow and not stop for hours and the winds will blow everything around and make it so we don't have to shovel the sidewalks. Let's hope for that!<br /><br />I have nothing very profound to show you tonight, but I do want to let you in on a little preparedness secret. If the weather calls for dangerous conditions such as a blizzard or a tornadic storm... it's important to realize that the electricity could easily be knocked out. Here are some steps you need to take to make sure that you are prepared for the weather. <br /><br /><ul><li>Consistently work on getting your 72 hour emergency kit assembled. Know where it is located and make sure that it has season appropriate supplies. Warm DRY clothing, hand warmers, gloves, eye protection are very important for blizzard conditions.</li><li>Do all your laundry BEFORE the storm hits. If you are without electricity, at least you have clean dry clothing, towels and extra blankets on hand. No need to stockpile 40 days worth of undies... if you have to go for a week, you will be fine.</li><li>Make sure you have extra drinking water located in a place that it will not freeze. No electricity=no pumps. Sure, most gravity systems will still allow water to get to your house, but what if the City has a boil order? Are you going to use your precious fuels to boil water for drinking? Not just for a few days you aren't. Fill those 2 liter bottles ahead of time. DO NOT USE MILK JUGS!</li><li>If you are waiting for damaging storms to arrive, take a shower and wash your hair. The very last thing you will want to do the next day without electricity is take a lukewarm bath and then start digging through your food storage to figure out what you can make out of wheat.</li><li>Have a 3 day menu planned for occasions like this. Tomorrow is Christmas at the time I write this. We already have the ham and it is fully cooked, so no need to panic, we have fodder for sandwiches for a few days if needed. Meal ideas will follow, but it needs to be things that you and your family WILL eat without thinking twice. Comfort food would be good.</li><li>Have a full tank of gas. Do not let any driver in your household return the car without a full tank of gas. Again, no electricity, no power for gas pumps... let alone a Debit Card to fill your tank.</li><li>Have tools readily available... know where they are located. Damaging storms bring lots of surprises. You might need to help a neighbor. Things to consider: chainsaw with extra fuel, snow shovels, snow blowers with fuel, traction sand stored in a water tight container, have a couple LARGE tarps to cover roof. More than likely you will not need to have a 100x100ft tarp, but a couple 20 x 20 will come in handy. <br /></li><li>If you have room in a garage (perhaps stored above in the rafters) store 4-5 sheets of OSB board. This will help to board up shattered windows. Sure, there are plenty of storm chasing companies out there ready to patch up your house until the insurance adjuster gets there, but why suffer with a gaping hole in your bedroom?!</li></ul>As usual, I have started out to make a short post, but now I have written a novel. I hope that each an everyone of you have a blessed day tomorrow. I know that Jesus is the Christ, I know that he is a Gift from God to come down, be born, teach us how to live, and then atone for OUR sins. I marvel at what a miracle his birth is. Mary must have pondered and thought about how tiny the very hands to God appeared. He, who measured the skies with those hands came to earth as a baby, born in a lowly manger.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, and may you never go hungry, may you always be warm and may you always have the spirit of Christmas in your heart!!!<br /><br />From My Heart 2 Yours,<br /><br />KatieKatie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-63856005579708974982009-12-21T22:40:00.000-08:002009-12-21T23:00:42.597-08:00Some new basics for you!Recently, I have realized that I have a gift for saving money. The weird part of this realization is that I never thought of my gift as a gift, but rather a math game. Always keeping my eye open for a bargain, I have clipped coupons, watched sales, read blog after blog about what is on sale and where and when to use double coupons, etc.<br /><br />Last Friday, Mark and I went to a chocolate party at the <a href="http://smj-lewis.blogspot.com/">Lewis home</a>... their home was just cute as can be with their new Christmas lights. While the guys played Beatles Rock Band, the girls hand dipped candies in chocolate and gabbed. One theme that always comes up is "Katie's Frugality." Don't get me wrong, I love shopping, I love looking around, I love browsing, I just never thought of it as a talent. So, with no further ado, I hope to occasionally share some of my secrets and my gems of wisdom about these things. I will try to tag these items with "Katie's Frugality" so that you can easily search for them. One post you might want to look at that is already on my blog is the post about <a href="http://katiepaper.blogspot.com/2009/11/frugality-at-its-finest-homemade.html">Homemade Laundry soap</a>. I still use it, I still love it, in fact... I have a jug of Tide in my laundry room that I haven't touched. I want to just give it away and get rid of the clutter, but the pack rat in me wants to keep it for a rainy day. The homemade laundry soap lover in me says that the Tide is truly inferior and would be better used to soap up a fountain or something. Hmmm... we shall have to wait and see what happens with that jug of Tide. :)<br /><br />One of my favorite blogs to read is called "<a href="http://safelygatheredin.blogspot.com/">Safely Gathered In.</a>" The theme of the blog is Provident Living. Self Reliance is very important to me. Mark and I are working diligently to get out of debt and live within our means. We have followed all the suggestions regarding food storage, but now we need to learn how to use all that food and rotate it as part of our normal menus.

Layer the grey or black shape on the bottom, put the creme colored smaller shape on top. On top of that, adhere the die cut tree and the silhouette shapes. Notice that I have not centered this square... it is a little more to the left that you think it needs to be. On the right, adhere the antique lace and cover that lace with buttons, and other fun bits.<br /><br />Below is the cover that I made for the sample book, it is the inspiration for the cover that is provided with the kit. I recommend that you use the sturdiest cardstock on your cover.<br /><br />NOTE: ALL PAPERS WILL NEED TO BE TRIMMED TO MEASURE 6" Down by 5.75" Across. This allows room for the binding. Don't think that you will be able to punch holes in the whole album after the fact to fit the rings.

So I whipped up something special for her... this is an altered paint can. This one is done in a a Christmas Theme... check out the dice (for Bunco) and the Christmas balls on top :). When she gets this can, she will put the gift card or gift inside the can and pound the lid shut...remember, it's a paint can! Attached to the fluff at the top is the paint can opener. Ther recipient opens the can to reveal the gift.<br /><br />Enjoy! Hope you have a Great Bunco Night, Aunt Sue!<br /><br />For other paintcans that I have altered <a href="http://katiepaper.blogspot.com/2008/03/first-signs-of-spring.html">see here</a> and <a href="http://katiepaper.blogspot.com/2008/02/everything-is-just-ducky.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghH4X8HFBdLcvVEDoL1YbEz2mFAvz64j7Bqj_jHnzc2UcC3Hg3pLL4ma7HQtGKnvTlvLjOge_8UedJAUmcMXpZBbWat9brvb9CWQFODLvqmJx-AQgvUvYtFhDJbnrbbP6NvdnPE8ZaUgv7/s1600-h/100_4419.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414257278655642530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghH4X8HFBdLcvVEDoL1YbEz2mFAvz64j7Bqj_jHnzc2UcC3Hg3pLL4ma7HQtGKnvTlvLjOge_8UedJAUmcMXpZBbWat9brvb9CWQFODLvqmJx-AQgvUvYtFhDJbnrbbP6NvdnPE8ZaUgv7/s400/100_4419.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW73WSVDJh7VORkIGYhuhN5d49uDdTs-gkMJNX8PkghfkU251liHUqg4vKi_7HqgxHzYKqC-6tMvoJH0luOXaqu4wug-K684rZe1AoDGDN3CMw86XhvmRm5cUfkT3EhV3dSAl8pyKsGm9O/s1600-h/100_4419.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWB9ouI-jgeNBjsnfpZZl_oM3GBfHZwn1NH30k6OXBoCRhpfKUkV4qX-mLI8fylpyZznAsgWUGbFxuYB7_qMGZiig0JA3eVzF0Fuvh2NCOH0M9vryGBNbtR2CcfYt0_JJXnz1FkMaf4YiT/s1600-h/100_4417.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414257272132165986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWB9ouI-jgeNBjsnfpZZl_oM3GBfHZwn1NH30k6OXBoCRhpfKUkV4qX-mLI8fylpyZznAsgWUGbFxuYB7_qMGZiig0JA3eVzF0Fuvh2NCOH0M9vryGBNbtR2CcfYt0_JJXnz1FkMaf4YiT/s400/100_4417.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-1378795673732211042009-12-11T23:44:00.000-08:002009-12-11T23:52:27.443-08:00We Made it at Katie'sMissey, Michelle, Sephie and Michelle came over to do some scrappin. Missey and Michelle made their annual calendars. They spend HOURS AND HOURS making their own planners complete with tabs and binding. Each year, it seems they get better... better design, better ideas, better binding.<br /><br /><br />Michelle B worked on scrapbook pages of her kiddos, and guess what... she actually put together 3 pages.

It is finally getting cold here, not Montana cold, but I actually have to wear socks to stay warm, so there you go. I didn't post over Thanksgiving, although I should have. I am thankful for so many things and other than having Christmas decorations all over the house that need to be put away, I am pretty happy with life. Things will be better on Tuesday night when my Organic Chemistry final is over as well.<br /><br />So, my blogger friends, I must say bye for right now, I'll post soon...

We first talked about proper care and storage of old family pictures and documents and how to preserve them. It is very important to realize that htese images are being lost forever while they are stored in basements and attics and subject to the harsh conditions therein.<br /><br />After that lecture, we promptly started making our albums...we did paper bag albums, which oddly enough are not acid or lignin free. So basically, everything we talked about was just tossed away and we had some fun. The ladies brought photocopies of old pictures. Some ladies brought picures of their grandkids. One sister made an adoption book instead of the family heratige album. It was just a fun night. As usual, when ever I do an album or a paper art project night, the evening draws to a close close to midnight or even later. This night was no exception. So, I offer a big THANKS to all the daddies and husbands out there who so willingly kept the home fires burning as we scrapped. Here are some photos: Enjoy! </div></div></div></div></div>Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8381637480875369739.post-51213037796717516202009-11-01T14:48:00.000-08:002009-11-01T14:50:33.875-08:00Frugality at its finest! Homemade Laundry Soap!<div id="body"><form action="/post-edit.do" method="POST" name="stuffform" id="stuffform" onsubmit="return checkForTrAndSubmitForm();"><div style="width: 90%;"><div id="preview"><div style="display: block;" id="previewbody">How would you like to seriously save some cash, be eco-groovy, and have amazingly great smelling clean laundry with NO soap residue??? Well, this is the post for you! Here is an experiment that I tried earlier this weekend. I have been considering it for a while and did quite a bit of research about it. What spurred it on was the fact that Tide and Cheer prices were inching up close to 10.00 per jug. Even with a coupon you only save .50 or 1.00 after you buy 2 jugs of goo.
<br />
<br />I realize that convenience has absolutely taken over our world. Everything has to be in single serving packages, redi-made, instant, microwaveable, or obtained in a 3 minute drive thru transaction. It seems like we have lost touch with the way things used to be done. About 2 years ago I posted my <a href="http://eatwheat.com/cookbook1/">favorite wheat bread recipe</a> so, now, 2 years later, let me share with you my favorite recipe for homemade laundry soap. I even have pictures of the mess and the ingredients for your viewing pleasure. I made two batches that provide enough soap for 50 or so loads depending on how stinky the clothes are. Store it in a nice air tight container. My calculations so far the laundry soap is coming in at about .10 per scoop. I have 3/4 of a box of Borax and Washing Soda left. I probably have a year supply of ingredients OR MORE!
<br />
<br />So with no further adieu, here is the recipe:

I used a cutting board to cut the Fels-Naptha into chunks. I put it through our "SALAD SHOOTER" twice. The first grate, it looked like old lady toe nail clippings, but then it fell apart into wonderful little granules.

I have watched her grow from a very spunky, unfocused Freshman to a beautiful, sophisticated adult. Recently, Adrianne turned 18 and she started her own business with <a href="http://www.marykay.com/avazzano-ortega/default.aspx">Mary Kay Cosmetics</a>. Even if you have your own preferred brand of cleanser and moisturizer, it is important to make sure that those products are meeting all your needs. I, have had great success with NuSkin 180 system, and more recently I have been using the Murad physician's line of products to deal with my adult acne. However, in honor of Adrianne's new business, I have decided to try the <a href="http://www.marykay.com/avazzano-ortega/default.aspx">Time wise</a> face care again. It's been 9 years since I have used Mary Kay!!! LOL. Anyway, they have a 100% money back, bottom of the bottle guarantee, so I have nothing to loose. I'm happy for her, it is a great education!<br /><br />Take a moment FOR ME, will you? and go check our her website! <a href="http://www.marykay.com/avazzano-ortega/default.aspx">HERE</a><br /><br />Adrianne, I'm proud of you for learning about business!! Go get em!Katie Lynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569194641745799337noreply@blogger.com1
