Diversion NOT avoidance, why don't we change & National Saltwater Taffy Day

It is officially National Salt Water Taffy day...
My computer was so VERY sick it had to be "life flighted"

MAMA..it cried..(the motherboard is so bad it  needed a transfusion)
 I am choosing to view this as a  reminder of how essential women (and us MOMS,even biz minded farm funnies ones :-) are so essential in all area's of life, us ol gal's can and do change :-)

I also have to come realize..sometimes a diversion, NOT avoidance , can be a good thing
Thus this a.m. I reasoned w/o my  computer,  (well , after all this loaner KNOWS..nothing...)
I would have the resident farmfunnies hero..(akka hubby..)
set the downloaded harddrive, or  whatever into  motion to install onto  my loaner laptop, since it will be weeks and weeks before my computer can come home.
And because I can.. go and  enjoy National Saltwater Taffy Day.

Steps to enjoy National Saltwater Taffy Day...
#1 if you are currently on a health regieme for a particular reason
     or doing a program like our 5 &1 to lose weight.. stay right where you are...
     i.e. continue with what you have committed to do ( don't  step off the path for "just" a day)
#2 if you are at your goal and especially if you have a bunch of kids around.. make a batch of TAFFY
      ahem...a  small  farm funnies "soapbox" here..
      with a little demographic lesson...we ( AMERICA) NEED more than
      1.2 kids"replacement" per family, the proponents of "small" families are WRONG,  scary stuff
       out there with demographic info....( another soapbox, sigh)
#3   reframing...when you have obstacles (sick computers), turn them into challenges to solve, or into
       solutions and  if possible..even FUN.... that is why I am not avoiding , I amd DIVERTING..
       I have decided to have some FUN with farm funnies hubby  on  National Salt Water Taffy day
       YAY
#4   Look at what you have facing you right now...finacial,health,squabbling kids, (sick computers)
       whatever, "obstacles"...then look for the silver lining. ( TAFFY?, not that I am a proponent for   
       letting food , EVER solve a problem or even be a comfort...(watch the video and see why)
#5   REALLY...watch the video link below...let the questions be meant just for you..make a decision to
       BE who you REALLY are..
      the video is approxamately an hour. I'm sure.you will not regret this time
      then make that Taffy ( or, at least  say next year AT my goal I will...)

video : oh I apologize, the various links are broken and hubby has his "chariot" awaiting 
      I will find it and share next time...
     in the meantime... I do want you to know about National Saltwater Taffy Day...
      
p.s. I will share my fantastic  Salt Water Taffy with anyone who requests it.
       ( betty@bettyframesuccess4u.com ) 

extra p.s. I will be so glad when I have my computer back up..I miss sharing my photo's with my posts...arghh

Wouldn't a  National donut day  "duel" be fun?

Then "mosey"back here  with your back arrow ...

YUM,YUM,YUM..Chocolate dipped Brownie lollipops

I have made cake balls and dipped them in both white  and  dark chocolate..VERY nice...very pretty.
When I saw this recipie e-mail link and read how they were made, I just knew these would be a winner...
Wouldn't these look great on our Christmas cookie trays?

Look in my archives for various holidays to see some of my cookie trays.
I am in a "down" mode with a loaner lap top, so all of my photo's are on "vacation"
or I would include a photo of some of my "goodies"

A few words of caution, cake balls are "wicked" , I'm sure the brownie "pops" will be decadent "killers",
SO you may want to wait for a holiday before you make them so you can parcel the little duffers out..
I wouldn't want to have leftovers looking at me :-)

Also if you are one of my clients currently doing our  5 & 1, reading the recipie is ok..making them
even for someoneelse, not a good idea....YET...you will get there and with our program, safely & quickly. YAY, so remember patience is a virtue and in this case you will reap great benefits...
among which will be a new SKINNY wardrobe !

ok,ok... here is the link for these yummies.  Chocoley.com/recipes/brownie_lollipops_chocolate_covered.htm

a TIME to sing, to cry, to dance

Here at farmfunnies there is a TIME for most anything..
currently it is TIME to pull weeds out of my raspberries...
and I did...
but along with work, we take TIME for some fun...

I think our Katie would love for me to take TIME to  dance,
sorry ..Kate...after you sat watching me pull up weeds
our energy levels are  sadly out of sync :-)...

so Kate..in your dream TIME  perhaps ..since you are  already asleep

Me ???  I'm  in withdrawl ...blogging on  borrowed laptop TIME
since mine  took  TIME "off" for crashing.

Hmmm...should we  take  TIME and learn to dance..
I wonder if we'll ever be this good? ( what will you take TIME to do tomorrow?)
