I have been mired in the Bermuda Triangle [aka: subjected to non-stop bickering children has baked my brain like being stranded on a deserted island….]
Curious reporters and treasure hunters are swarming, hoping to be the first to find traces of the wreckage [That would be my mother harping for a visit and my step-daughters’ well meaning counselor wondering if I do enough to take care of myself….]
I have decided to build a fire on the beach and watch for rescue planes while sipping a cool drink out of a coconut while trying my hand at building a radio from the shell [That’s right, the Olympics baby!]
Holding on to one sign of hope, off in the distant horizon [School starts in 37 days…]
I still have enough strength to leave you with this – a recipe for my favorite veggie (not only did I steal the recipe, but the photo as well):

Kohlrabi, not Sputnik.
Memoirs of an Evil Stepmom 
Mama said…there’d be days like this…remember?
Have you book your ticket to come see me yet? (nudge nudge)
…if I hold still maybe she wont see me…SHHH she might hear you….
No SOS yet made out of driftwood (uh, unwashed snack dishes) yet?
Oh yes, and a flag sewn from dirty laundry !
hhmmmmm……and here I’ve been trying to get myself to a deserted island….
At this point, I dont think I would try to be rescued all that quickly 😉
That is one scary-ass looking vegetable! That doesn’t frighten the kids away for a few hours?
The little one actually thinks stuff like that is cool !
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, but my book, The Bellman Chronicles, will be FREE to download on Sept. 10 – 11! Check it out on my Amazon Kindle page.. You won’t be disappointed. And if you can slip me a review, I’d be forever grateful…
For real ?!?! Words cannot express how cool that is –
I look forward to reading and would love to do a review ! Love the new gravator, very professional
(I took the summer off myself & am just logging back on for the first time in ….I dont know how long.)
