"Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes..."
-"Some Hearts" by Carrie Underwood
What I Did Today...I've had a lot on my mind, and when I get overwhelmed by my thoughts, or my situation, I often strive to be as creative as I can. In other words, I try to tire myself out and put my mind to having to concentrate on other things so that I can't think about the things that are really bothering me. Today was one of those days and I managed to do all of the following:
- I went to the store and also figured out where Fresh Market was. I won't be shopping there - they don't have the selection of loose goods that I had hoped for. But I managed to pick up my weekly groceries and found my way back home before the big rain came through.
- Started on my three loads of laundry. No pics of that because I have no intention of showing my dirty clothes.
- Made the cornbread for my dressing, which turned out better than my cornbread has in a while. Turned the cornbread into cornbread dressing. Baked two turkey legs to go with it.
- Combined spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes to make pasta sauce for weekly lunch. Poured over bowties.
- Decided to make snickerdoodles with a lemony flavor. Naming them lemondoodles! Came out pretty good - nice tang to them. Remind me a bit of the lemon cookies I liked as a kid, but without all of the preservatives or fake dyes.
- Made a pompom for the baby hat I just finished, and then sewed all the loose threads into the hat.
- Retwisted my hair. Found out that Miami humidity makes even my twists look fuzzy and crappy after only a week.
All the pics are below, including a walk-through of the cornbread dressing making. Enjoy!

I want your lemondoodle recipe!
Will you share your lemondoodle recipe?
Of course I'll share it! Had to wait until someone other than me tried it (today) so I could post what I did!
