I’ve been feeling under the weather.

I haven't been feeling too well. That is why I haven't been posting on my blog.  I think it's just a cold with a sore throat and nasty non-stop cough that keeps me up at night.  I've been a walking zombie during the day because of it too. I also wanted to let my readers know that I did call the lady to thank her and I was relieved I did.  She sounded so sweet and nice.  She was also glad that I called her to let her know I received it.  We didn't talk very much but I did ask her if Snapfish … [Read more...]

Thursday Thirteen – Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are the 13 reasons why I'm thankful this year on Thanksgiving. My healthy family - Even with the economy suffering, I'm happy to know I have my family here with me. Our home - I'm thankful it keeps us safe, warm and together. Friends - I'm thankful for my blogger friends and of course my real life friends. Pumpkin Pie - I love anything pumpkin but pie is my all-time fave. Stuffing - What is Thanksgiving without stuffing? Time - I get to spend quality time with my loved … [Read more...]

What’s on your menu?

Just thinking about the menu for tomorrow's feast already has me comatose and sleepy.  I am also very excited at the same time.  This will be my first Thanksgiving cooking EVERYTHING. MYSELF.  I may get some help from my husband so I can't take ALL the credit.  I'll have him make the mashed potatoes and whatever else comes to mind. Right now, I have the Pumpkin Pie in the oven.  It smells so good in here.  I can't wait!  I was going to make it from scratch but I'm planning to make Caramel … [Read more...]

Check out this email that was sent to me.

I received this email a few days ago and thought it would be nice to share such a warmhearted story being that Thanksgiving is just a few days away.  I hope you enjoy. My name is Rose.. The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned and found a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire … [Read more...]

So Sad.

Isn't it sad that Barack Obama's grandmother died a day before the election?  I think that is terrible.  No matter if you're a Democrat or a Republican - we're all human.  I can only imagine what he is going through right now. … [Read more...]

October is almost over.

Wow, I can't believe it.  Time is going by too fast.  October will be over Friday night and it will be time to change our clocks here in America.  I am not ready for Thanksgiving nor am I ready for Christmas. So, I wanted to take the time out to thank these people below for being a dedicated dropper here at New York Chica. Thanks a bunch!!

WW – Apple & Pumpkin Pickin’

These are a few of the pictures that I took when we went Apple and Pumpkin picking on Sunday. We were at the DuBois Farms and we had such a great time. We had great weather too. They had so many different types of apples. Granny Smith, Empires, Macintosh, Golden Delicious and much more. The Golden Delicious was indeed all of our favorites. It was sweet, crisp and very juicy. Now all I have to do is look for a good apple Pie recipe. So, has anyone else been Apple pickin'? I would … [Read more...]

The most important issues

to me are: Affordable Health care.  The "not-so-rich" people know health care is VERY expensive. Lower taxes for people making under $250,000. Better education funding. Better tax breaks on small business owners. Making this country absolutely safer than it is now. Take care of this country first, and then help other countries (if we can).   There are millions of children that are starving in America right now. There's more but I'll stop there.  To be completely honest, politics … [Read more...]
