Why Do I Buy The Cheap Stuff??

Have you ever been in the store and you are looking at something you want but there may be two or three different brands . Which one do you buy? Well for me unfortuantely i usually go for the cheap one. And that is the case with these masonary drill bits. Here in Turkey all the walls are concrete. So in order to hanf picture or anything else you have to use masonary bits to drill the holes. I went to buy some bits and I saw two ore three different brands and as you can see i went for the cheap one. This bit just deformed while I was using it. I guess it is true you get what you pay for.

It's Mardi Gras time...

I think most of you out there will appreciate the fact that a friend (Elizabeth Johnson) and I made a King Cake the other day! We didn't have the appropriate green, purple, and gold food coloring, so we settled for red. Think of it as a Valentine's Day King Cake. I hope to have the chance to make another one because this one was SOOOO good!!

5 WEEKS TO GO!!

Can you believe it only 5 more weeks and we are parents! I wanted to show all of you the growing mom. I think that she is really ready for little Landon to visit us on the outside.

Snow Skiing in Turkey

I know it is hard to believe but i was able to go snow skiing last Thursday. I went to a place called KarTepe. It is only about two and half hours outside of Istanbul. This place was no Colorado but it was nice. The other thing was how cheap it was. For a whole day of skiing and rentals with lift tickets was only $40. That is a good deal.
