Instead of homework....

So I have finally found something to do while JD spends hours and hours each night doing homework! Of course one might think there are PLENTY of things I could be doing in the mean time.. cleaning the house, doing laundry, organizing my closet, reading a book, or even some of my own homework. (which I always finish in about 1/64 of the time JD does.) But no... I would rather do things WAY more important.. like changing my blog! Besides, it takes about 9 minutes to clean up our entire little place so that doesn't help take up the time any! So back to it... I was completely clueless as to how everyone else's blogs were so dang cute and mine was still just the same ol' plain jane... but casie helped me figure it out! What a pal, huh? So now that I have spent an entire night messing with all sorts of different do dads I can finally get on with my wifely duties! Anyone have any good recipes? Keep them simple though... I'm still a rookie!
