Well, those treats were supposed to stay good for a month out of the fridge and 2 months in the fridge. They molded over in a few days. Yuck! Don't think I'll be making those again! So, be forewarned.
Well, we got married this past Saturday. I will be posting pictures soon. It is funny that when there is a professional photographer at the event, less people appear to take their own pictures. Thanks to Tammy, we are able to have a lot of candid shots. It takes awhile to get the photos from the photographer, but I will post them as soon as we have them.

Dog Treat Recipe
I know it's been a long time since I've posted, and to welcome myself back I decided to share my favorite homeade, healthy, cancer-and-flea-fighting, yummy (for the dog) and easy dog treat recipe. Both Clyde-tested and mother-approved.
Herbal Dog Treats
1 Tbl. unsweetened applesauce (or substitute 1 Tbl. vegetable oil - not as healthy)
1 cup water
2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. oatmeal
2 Tbl. fresh mint leaves (minced)
1/3 c. parsley (fresh)
1/4 tsp. minced garlic
Mix all together (may have to use hands as it makes a pretty stiff dough). Cook 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the biscuits.
_______
Here's why these are cool: applesauce is good for joints and bones. Whole wheat flour is actually something that dogs can digest whereas they cannot digest bleached flour or corn. This is also a whole grain for the little guys. Oatmeal is another whole grain and they can digest it and get the nutrients from it. Mint leaves are for the good, fresh breath. Parsley is very high in Vitamin C (even higher per serving than spinach). And the minced garlic (fresh) is actually a flea repellant which they emit through their pores after eating it. Be careful with the garlic however; in large quantities it can be toxic to you dog - although it takes 50 cloves of garlic in one sitting to become toxic for a medium-sized dog.

and the doctor says...
This interesting tidbit came from the first paragraph of a front page New York Times article.
"As soon as swine flu vaccinations start next month, some people getting them will drop dead of heart attacks or strokes, some children will have seizures and some pregnant women will miscarry."
The writer's next paragraph then states that these supposed side effects of the vaccination are not in fact side effects at all. In fact, these are the normal side effects of a placebo injection.

Going to the chapel and I'm gonna get married...
Well, it's now official we are getting married. June 26, 2010 for all those who need to clear their calendars.
A total deal!
American Airlines e-mailed me today in regard to their special offers. Here's one for the books: "American Airlines: 30,000 miles gets you 30,000 feet!" I tell you, the miles I have better not turn into feet!

How old...?
I was reading a magazine article the other day and it ended with a question from a famous philosopher, which stated, "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were?"
Good question! In a time like today's world, it is near impossible (at least in the U.S.) to not have some idea of how old you are, even if you may not know your birthday.
Thinking about answering the question really got me thinking. I would say, I would think that I was about 30 when it comes to mental abilities, probably about 40 when it comes to physical health what with my herniated disk and shoulder problems that don't even allow me to run or walk much any more (not to mention getting stiff after only a 45 minute car ride to school); however, when it comes down to it, I think socially i live my life as if I were (and still want to be) about 21 or 22. By pure looks, i would say i probably look about 24, which is two years younger than i actually am (although I think I look my age, I still get carded and when other grad students ask me how old i am they always think i am a few years younger than I actually am, which is nice).
So, how old are you?
