I love books and I don’t think Hailey could possibly have too many books.  So, I found a great giveaway today that I want to win.  Barefoot Book Reviews is giving away $94.99 work of Barefoot Books.  That’s a lot of books and I just love Barefoot Books, so I really, really want to win.  If this sounds like something you are interested in winning be sure to check out Barefoot Book Reviews.

I enjoy taking videos of Hailey, but I am far from professional.  Sometimes my own tapings of Hailey make me feel a little sick when I watch the back.  You know it’s bad if you are making yourself feel sick.  If you’re looking for someone to make a great video for your business you are not going to want to use me.  But, you may want to check out 522 Productions for your video production Virginia.  They are able to service people who live in Virginia and the Washington DC area as well as Baltimore Maryland.  Check out their services if you need a professional video.

First of all- how is it even possible that this is my 20th TT?  Time just goes by so quickly.

Anyhoo, on with my thirteening.  Last week I had no idea what to write about and a few of you gave me some great ideas.  Thanks for your help, I’m going to be all set for the next several weeks.

There are many different kinds of accidents you can be in.  And of course I worry about car accidents and plane crashes.  Although I am sure we are relatively safe most of the time, I do tend to be a bit of a worrier.  What I didn’t realize is that helicopters crash 90 times more than airplanes.  I guess I’ve never really thought about it since I don’t fly on helicopters.  There are also special helicopter accident attorneys so if you have been involved in an accident while you were on a helicopter then check out the link above for more information about your rights.

We were out of town last week so we came home to an empty refrigerator.  We plan to leave again next Saturday for another vacation and so I wanted to plan my menu up through next Saturday (the 12th) and go get groceries.  So, here is my plan for the rest of this week:

Wednesday- Tuna Noodle Casserole… just don’t tell Rich that it’s a casserole because for some reason he doesn’t like casseroles.  If I can it something else like Tuna Noodle Supreme- that’s fine.
Thursday- Ziti
Friday- We’ll be at the 4th of July celebration our church puts on eating way too much yummy food.
Saturday- Taco Salad (it is sooooo good, I could eat it every single week.)
Sunday- Peppy Macaroni-  I’m going to have to post this recipe on my Our Crafts ~N~ Things blog sometime because it is yummy an so incredibly easy to make.
