Okay. So we took Papa's free birthday meal coupon to a nationally know restaurant. And they handed us menus. And along with the menu was an "on special" card. I could NOT believe my eyes! They actually TOLD you that the first helping of their all you can eat special contained 1210 calories. If you ask for more, the extra portion they bring will add another 350 calories. And, if you choose to have extra sauce too, that will be another 60. Wow! All that death on a plate for a mere 9.99. I think I'll jump right on it.

I have such fun seeing both my little granddaughters! When we're all shopping together you'll find me going from cart to cart to play huggies with my girls. Such sweet, sweet dolls. They are both at such a great stage. They like giving and getting hugs and Mimi Sage just eats it up. I can't wait for the day the actually call me by name.

Mama's Crazy Mix Up Salad
Had to do spring mix lettuce. My one home ec teacher said that if you are served only ice berg, the person serving the salad isn't too concerned about your health and well being. I care. Honest. So we had spring mix. Other veggies made it colorful. Chopped broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and celery. Then I chunked up some ham and some herb roasted turkey. The colby cheese didn't make it pretty enough, so I also added feta. Dressing today was fat free ranch.

I keep working on scarves even though I haven't listed them on Etsy yet. If you're curious or in the market for scarves, visit my facebook page and look at the album. It's a public album so even if you aren't a friend of mine there, you can look through them. Don't know about claiming them. If you want one, try messaging me there or here or email me at sagekidsmom@aol.com

Ever done copy cat recipes? We got in the mood for a bowl of that yummy creamy veggie soup they have at Dixie Stampede one day and I found a great copy cat of it. I've done that with a few things we've had at restaurants and got a hankerin' for later. Just type what it is and "copy cat" into your search. See what all you can come up with and share it with us all.

We went to see Little Fockers with the family this month. Sadly we didn't do the movie thing on Christmas like has always been our tradition. And this outting didn't have nearly as many as we usually have when we go. Still quite a crew. Kris and Darlene, Dusty and Lee, Brandi and Dakota, Brian, Kennedy, me and Papa. We got to use coupons since it wasn't the first weeks of the movie. Always good. Also had a free popcorn coupon that we gave to the kids to use.
Yes. I loved the movie. It's definitely not appropriate for little ones, but we all loved it. I don't have a clue what the guy outside the theater was thinking. He felt it his duty to tell us it was terrible.

My attic / craft room is completed. At least for now. It is at the organized chaos point and it is a very useable area once again. I'm pleased. It's all ready to begin crafting and scrapbooking again. First the baby ornaments and then I'll work on finishing up my Disney album. Sort of got sidetracked. And I want to do first year albums for both babies.
I still have some goals to achieve. Scarves to Etsy and bunches and bunches to ebay and goodwill. The purge goes on. The purge goes on.

Martin Luther King Day was a bonus day for me. We had Kennedy the weekend and she chose to stay the extra day. She had exams coming up and used the time to have quiet study times. She also earned some money to stuff into "Bunny Sage" to start saving towards her trip to France with her French class or club or whatever.
Kennedy helped with the sweeping and we got the second and third floor done plus the stairs. The first floor ended up being done too. Lots of floors is lots of sweeping. Thank the Lord for such a great kid to help. When we were done, we sat on my bed and watched a Christmas show together. It's the only place I still have some I haven't watched. Great day.

So what else have I done? Little of this. Little of that. And every little is working towards a goal. One big was the filing. I'd dreaded it and dreaded it. I was able to get it all done in a weekend. Now that monkey is completely off my back. YES! Well almost. Still have to shred a basket full.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas.

wow. I can't believe it. My granddaughter will be 18 this next Saturday. Wasn't it just the other day....
And she got her braces off. Beautiful! I'll post pictures for her birthday.

Well, my friends, I'll say good night for now. I heard something on one of those TV criminal shows I watch that made my mind wander. Need to do some research. When something catches my ear and sticks, I believe there is probably a reason.
Hugs to you all...
~~Mama Sage
