My sister Melissa has the cutest kittens ever ... Her older kitten 'Daisy Madonna' (a Blades family name) was acting lonely, so she decided to get a baby brother for her. They are both Russian Blues and are so sweet. They are totally spoiled and possess every single cat toy known to catdom! If Amazon.com sells it, they have it!
Melissa has posted some really adorable videos of Sasha. Below is a hysterical video of him attempting to disembowel one of his toys.

Black Bean and Corn Salsa
This is a recipe from a friend AJ Porschett ... I love it.
Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Mix together the following:
2 gloves garlic minced
1 7 oz shoepeg corn drained
3 T Chopped Fresh Cilantro (possibly more)
16 oz can of black beans rinsed and drained
3/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp tabasco (suspect use more closer to a tsp)
1/2 green bell pepper chopped
1/2 red onion chopped (could use vidalia about 1/2 to 34 cup)
1 Tomato chopped -- regular one the take out seeds - or 2-3 plum
1/2 cup italian dressing (italian parmesan)
I have had a ton of grape tomatoes from the monster tomato plant in my garden, so I actually just sliced some finely in the food processor and used those instead of a regular tomato ... it was delicious. Also AJ serves these with the white corn bowl style chips ... I think thats the ONLY way to eat it! Enjoy!

Taco Soup anyone?
I made like the most ginormous pot of taco soup. I think I could feed the Stokes family for at least 2 days with it! I learned to cook for my family of 6 growing up and I just have never gotten over the "make an enormous pot so there's plenty for everyone and enough for left-overs" mentality. Oh well ... good thing that Ed will eat the same left-overs indefinitely! I have the best husband ever!
And BTW, I love my in-laws! They are so nice and I'm so glad they decided to visit! Ed took them to NYC today and the last txt message I had from him he said they were pretty tuckered out from walking all over NYC. They didn't get in until 5 AM so I think they were worn out to start with!

In-laws coming to visit ....
I've never met any of my in-laws. I am a little anxious about it, but I'm sure everything will go well. They will only be here a few days and they sound really nice.
Of course my house is a disaster given that I went right from canning season to preparing for ISOP graduation to going to Georgia for my brothers OCS graduation. Add on top of that that I'm not the most organized person to start with! Ed's sister Kathy, her husband, and their daughter will be here in just a few short hours .... so I think I better get cracking!

Funny t-shirts
So someone in my Scrap Etc yahoo group posted a link to a completely hysterical (although not PC) blog listoftheday.blogspot.com
So after running to the bathroom so as to not pee my pants, I then took a look at one of their links to www.snorgtees.com where again I was peeing my pants laughing at the t-shirts. I seriously need some of these! My absolute favorite was:

Lying
My DH was listening to the radio and they said that women lie an average of 3 times per day and men lie 4 times per day.
I was trying to figure out if social lies count -- you know -- the ones where you don't want to hurt someones feelings or say something that is unnecessarily going to cause pain or unhappiness. But technically they are still lies. I'm not going to stop telling them though. I guess I'll just be going to the hot place ... I'm sure I'll have lots of friends :)
