Okay, so I was watching a football game yesterday and I got this “I want something cold and kind of Chocolaty” feeling! :) So I went in the kitchen and found a recipe for this:
(it comes from hillbillyhousewife.com!)
It was scrumptiously delicious!
Here is how you make it!
1-1/2 to 2 cups ice water
1-1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 to 1-1/2 trays of ice cubes, as much as you can spare
2 tablespoons corn oil plus a 5-second squirt of non-stick spray for emulsification purposes
Place all of the ingredients into the blender, including the oil and the non-stick spray. Use less water for thicker milk shakes and more water for shakes that are easy on your blender motor. The blender should be about 3/4’s full. Place the lid on. Process for a full 2 minutes. Pour into cups and serve. Makes 4 - 12oz servings. It is really good!!
Ah...I absolutely
love fall! This weather is SO wonderful!! I just LOVE it! It feels so good here with the window open! Who else loves fall? :) Here is a picture I took last fall! :) It isn't a very good picture...I just love the color of the leaves! :)
Okay, so I changed my template AGAIN. I kind of like this one better than the other one. :) Sorry to keep changing. I'll try not to keep on doing that. :]
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

I haven't posted in a reeeeaaallllyyyyyyy long time. I'm not really on here anymore but I am gonna start again. I always need more friends, so if u feel like adding someone, you can add me:) lol
♥Howdy everyone!♥
Its been a while since I've updated. I haven't really felt like it much...plus I've been pretty busy. Every night last week I helped out with VBS, at a church right down the road from us! My friend, whom I mentioned in the last post, helped out too...which made it a lot of fun, because we got to help out together, in the craft section!
I was going to post about our trip, and I wrote a big long post about it, then decided it was too long and boring. :) So I'm not gonna post about it..I had wonderful time though!! I was going to post lots of pictures too, but I don't really feel like it. So, I will just post two kinda boring pictures. :) While we were there, we went to the beach...so, one of the pictures was taken there, and the other one was on the way home from it, when we stopped somewhere! (sorry, I had to make them small.)
Well, I need to get off to go get ready for bed. I'll TRY to post again soon, even if it is just going to be a small post.
Can you believe I am posting again so soon?
I can't! Hehe!
Today, I've mostly been packing for our trip! It always takes me a long time to pack...and I ALWAYS forget something really important. It is
terrible ! lol ^_^ Anyway, in about 30 minutes, we have taekwondo class! I am really happy about that....we haven't had one for a while. :( I can't wait! Then, tomorrow, of course, we are leaving for my grandparents house! I have to remember to take my camera!! I have a feeling that is one of the things I'm gonna forget. We might go to the beach while we are there, so if I remember my camera, I will probably have some pictures to post when we get back! hehe!
So, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was great!! On Friday, we had a cook out! We set up the tent, and some of us slept in it! That was really fun...except when I opened up the sleeping bag that I was gonna use, there was a huge bug inside! But it wasn't that bad! ;)
Saturday, we didn't do too much...except that night we went to see some fireworks...with some friends!!! They were really good! I got SOME pictures of them, but they weren't very good...so i probably won't post 'em! I started out taking pictures, but soon gave that up....and started videoing it! That was a lot easier, 'cause I just set my camera on a chair!
Anyway, on Sunday, after church, one of my friends (the same friends that we went to see the fireworks with) came over! Then that night she spent the night with me! It was so much fun!!!! We stayed up until about 12:30 watching a movie.....!! :) :) We didn't get to bed until 'bout 1:00, then we talked for a while! But we woke up early the next morning anyway...and talked for a long time before we came out and had breakfast! Then we took a walk and looked for some blackberrys. After that we just came back to the house, played a game, sat 'n talked for a long time, watched another movie...actually half of one..then she had to go home. We actually did more stuff than that.....but I don't want to go through everything! :) So...yup! That is how my weekend went!
I'm not gonna post the pictures today....so I probably won't post 'em till I get back. Maybe I'll have some better ones by then - hehe!
Have a great week everyone!
♥Marybeth♥
Oh and, btw, I probably won't be able to respond to comments this week....I MIGHT be able to, but I'm not sure, so.... :) :)
EDIT: I think I am going to be able to check and respond to the comments while I'm gone! :) So keep postin' 'em!! ;)
Hi! I'm Hannah, a 16-year-old homeschool student in Alabama. Dad encouraged me to start a blog to share brief Scripture thoughts with my sisters in Christ. Hopefully others will join in, and we can encourage each other in the Lord!
