lazy saturday

i've had a nice lazy saturday to myself for the most part. mom and dad went riding on the harley for a good part of the day so the cats and i were left in control of the remote. i watched britain's next top model for a while. i've seen part of it before. i don't like the british one as much as i like the american one. the british girls seem a little boring compared to the american girls. i like the american judges better as well. the british ones are real blunt about some of the girls. they weren't as much fun either as the american ones.

i watched part of the busch race too. kevin harvick wound up winning. carl edwards came in 2nd. he is such a hottie. i loved that cover he did a couple of years back for men's health or fitness or something like that. he was standing there all sweaty with his muscles bulging...oh my! and he has such a great personality to go along with his good looks. if i didn't have such a thing for my elliott sadler, i'd definitely have carl as my number one driver. he is one of my favs, but elliott tops the list.

mom is fixing us biscuits and cantelope for dinner tonight. i love it when we have that for dinner especially in the summer when it's so hot. it's a nice, light, refreshing dinner to have. i remember as a kid that we used to have veggie dinners with fresh peas and tomatoes and cucumbers and made-from-scratch biscuits. i loved splitting a biscuit and spooning on some peas and the juice from the peas...yummy. and we'd have watermelon or cantelope or fresh peaches for dessert later on. another thing that was my fav was homemade ice cream. we used to have that a lot in the summer, especially on the weekend.

if you haven't figured out by now, my mom is an awesome cook. she doesn't believe in very many shortcuts when it comes to cooking and baking. i've tried to duplicate her biscuits but i can't. she measures it, but she just kind of knows that it's right. i have tried making them like she tells me but they still don't taste quite as good. i'm that way with dad's pancakes too. his come out perfect just about every time...mine are all chewy.

janelle called me earlier and said they didn't make finals this time. she sounded disappointed, but not completely down. i'm sure the experience is fun in itself. i'm really missing her though and will be glad when she's back on monday.

well, i'm going to go for now. i might write more later on...

kisses.......
