Five Rules (Thanks Lori...I stole this from you...LOL)

Five rules for men to follow for a happy life
1. It’s important to have a woman who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.
2. It’s important to have a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It’s important to have a woman who you can trust and who doesn’t lie to you.
4. It’s important to have a woman who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It’s very, very important that these four women do not know each other.
Signed,
Tiger Woods

My next tattoo

This is my next tattoo... It's just a rough sketch as Becky called it when she did it for me... But it's perfect and exactly what I want...and that I will get in the next few weeks! It's a memorial to my dad and to honor my MeeMaw... All of you know that dad passed away from thoat cancer on 12/24/08...well...some don't know that MeeMaw has battled breast cancer....TWICE....and won both times!!! First time wasn't so bad...they got all of the lump when they did the biopsy...the second time wasn't so easy... She had to have surgery and then the doctor didn't get all of it...so she had to go through radiation...but...she's a trooper and is now cancer free...AGAIN!!!

Okay......so I have searched and searched for the sketch of the tattoo......and I CAN'T FIND IT!!!!! I sure hope Becky still has it on her computer...once I find it...I'll post it!

Sorry Laura...


WooHoo...it was on my cell phone...it's kind of cut off at the bottom where "Love" will be written...but you get the picture...

Yummy.....

This is my version of an Italian cream cheese cake...everyone LOVES it when I make it...so feel privilaged that I'm sharing it with you all...


Kari's Italian Cream Cheese Cake

Cake:
1 box of Yellow cake mix - (MUST BE BUTTER RECIPE AND THE ONE THAT HAS PUDDING IN THE MIX)
1/3 stick of butter
3 eggs
1 can 15 1/2 oz. curshed pineapple
Mix butter with mixer to soften; add cake mix, 3 eggs, and ENTIRE can of cushed pineapple (including juice) - DO NOT ADD THE WATER THAT THE MIX SAYS TO ADD - YOU ARE USING THE PINEAPPLE JUICE INSTEAD OF THE WATER. Mix for 2 - 3 minutes until well blended. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes (depending on your oven…start checking at 25 minutes…)

Icing:
1 stick of butter
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese - I use fat free…shh…don't tell anyone :-)
1 package of powdered sugar - you don't use the whole bag - only about 1/2 to 3/4
1 package of chopped walnuts - optional
Milk - a splash at a time
Mix the butter and cream cheese; add about 1/2 bag of powdered sugar and a splash of milk. Mix well and taste…if it doesn't taste right…add a little more of the powdered sugar…not much though… If you want to add the walnuts, this is the time to add them to incorporate them into the icing....
*******Ice the cake when it's warm....I poke a butter knife in the top of the
cake to make 'breathing holes' for the icing to go down into the cake....

ENJOY!!! Let me know how you like it!!!
