You can call me Paula Deen

Hey Y'all!  Man alive I have been busy today.  I have been in the kitchen way more than I have ever cared to be.  It all started at 5:30 AM... yes, AM.  I sacrificed this morning to celebrate my man's birthday.  I sent him off to work with a nice, warm omelette with cheese and ham.  Needless to say, he was surprised.  Realizing some of you are horrified that I do not get up and make breakfast for him every morning, I am almost ashamed to tell you that.  Almost though... not quite.  It's just not my thing folks.  He doesn't care, so I don't worry about it.  He's the kind of man that will fry up 5 eggs and reheat them every morning for breakfast.  I just don't know how good I've got it do I?  Back to cooking.  Later, little man and I headed for the dreadful Wal-Mart.  It was rough.  I literally think I go into panic attacks just being in that store.  I don't know what it is about it, but I just don't like being in there.  For dinner, I made country style steak for the first time... can you believe it?  It's hubby's fave dinner.  As sides we had cream style corn, fresh green beans, and rice.  And I simultaneously cooked all of this.  Y'all just don't understand.  This does not happen at my house ever... unless my mother-in-law is here.  Which they did come into town this evening and she may have guided me along the way with the country style steak.  I really think I heard my stove crying because she rarely works so hard.  This is sad I know, but oh so true.  And for dessert... aahhh.... upside down german chocolate cake.  Yummy!  It was all so yummy tonight.  Of course, by the time I actually sat down to eat, I really wasn't that hungry, but it was still yummy.  And, to add to the kitchen time, I had to clean the kitchen before I could start cooking.  Isn't that awful.  My kitchen had not been cleaned up in 4 days I think.  I lost track in the crazyness of this week.  Probably more than any of you wanted to know... but hey, it's real.

Here's little man after dessert.

I think he liked it!

Well, it's time to say goodnight to a busy day.  But a great day.  A great day of celebrating the love of my life.  My best friend.  Happy birthday baby!
