9 Hour Scissorgami

Ok, so i am so not going to take on a paper box project for awhile. 9 hours back to back paper cutting was not my idea of trying to make a deadline. As usual over extended my creative spirit and did not fully anticipate the task for juggling the family and also trying to get my latest project commitment done. I am scissor-gami-ed out. A term coined by a co-worker who saw my antics with the scissors.
Time to drop everything and take care of number 2...my family. No, number 1 is not me. I hope the time spent pays off for my buyer whose wedding is coming up at the end of this week.
I've apples to dehydrate, desserts to make, carpets to clean, laundry to get through, HR block classes to complete, Dad's stuff to ship, Bro's stuff to buy, gather my belonging for the upcoming trip and playtime with my kids! Yeah!

Trivia Answer: 60 Crabby Cream Cheese Wontons

One of my favorite recipe websites is www.allrecipes.com One of the many benefits of the site is you can instantly customize the recipe for the quantity you want to make in a batch, larger or smaller...On there you can find a recipe i first used to make Crabby Cream Cheese Wontons. They were excellent! What is the number of wontons on the "Original recipe yield"?

Congrats to serendipityrose for getting the Crabby Cream Cheese Wontons trivia correct! She will be featured as of 8/15/08

Leavin' on a jet plane

I do hope i'll be back again...i have the plane tickets to at least. Going to visit the little red dot, my country's fond nickname as it is so tiny that it is just big enough for the little red dot to mark its spot without any real landmass on the World Map.

My hubby and i expect great changes in the near future as far as our day jobs and if i don't seize the chance to go now, i will not have the chance to take a good vacation back home. So i'm looking forward to seeing all my friends, gouge myself on Hawker Centre Food, watch the beach and water alittle from the other side of the Pacific.

So i'm counting the days! Making a list of food that i NEED to eat AND we're going to take little Ellie. I thought Nathaniel's record of 1 year and 2 months would not be broken but she going to break it at 11 months. I hope Nathaniel is going to enjoy himself more this time as we'll have more time to look around.
