EZ Crockpot Chicken Stew, Anyone Can Do!
This is one of my favorite meals to make when I’m short on time. I’m not going to call it a recipe, more like a guideline. Every time I make it, it’s different. But always good. I use whatever I have on hand. Beef could be substituted for chicken. Peas for corn. Potatoes for rice. Chili powder and cumin for the Tyme and Celery seed. You get the picture. Don’t be afraid to mix it up! It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s all good! Just throw all the ingredients in the crockpot, set on low and go to work or to the mall or hang out with your kids. At the end of the day, you will have an awesome meal! [continue and comment…]

I’m veering slightly off the beaten path today with my little tangent. Although, it is about life, so maybe not. Maybe it fits right in. The main difference being that I usually try to be upbeat and positive, but I honestly can’t think of a single positive thing to say about traffic lights. Oh, oh wait! Traffic lights keep us from colliding at intersections, therefor saving our lives on a daily basis. There I said it. That’s it. I have a hate-hate relationship with traffic lights. What follows is a culmination of years of pent up driving frustrations. Let’s take a ride, shall we? [continue and comment…]

So what can you buy for two bucks? I know, I know! Breakfast at McD’s. Nope. Lunch at you favorite restaurant? Noda. I got it, an ad on Entrecard! Negative ghost rider. So WTH can you buy for two bucks? I’m glad you asked, come a little closer…*whispers* you can expose yourself. Expose your blog, that is. That’s right, for just $2 you can Expose Your Link on EZGreatLife for a whole month. Big deal right? Wrong! It gets better. [continue and comment…]

I am what’s known in the grocery business as a “cherry picker”. There, I said it. AND I’m proud of it. I will go into a store and buy only the sale items. And 9 times out of 10, I will have a coupon for the said sale item. I am one of those folks that you have heard about that buys $150.00 worth of groceries for $65.00. Yep, and I ain’t apologizing. So, you can imagine how excited I was a few years ago, when electronic or “digital” coupons were introduced. If not, think ear to ear grin with uncontrollable salivating, followed by bursts of irrational exuberance.

I have a lot to discuss, so let’s just dive in, shall we? First of all, we have the winners of our contest, “Stocks On Wall Street / EZGreatLife Drop to the Top“. We are giving away some great prizes, so stay tuned. Next up, I have the February “Top Droppers“. Additionally, I have some link love for a very special blogger. If you have the time, I’d like to tell you how to Expose Your Links. And last, but not least, I have an update on EZ Drops and some EZGreatLife “housekeeping” items. It’s a doozie, so pay attention, as there will be a quiz…

I drive by this place just about every week. It reminds me of T3 or iRobot…:)


This is the second, in a two part post. Get caught up here.
After a week of medical tests, I was ready to find out just what the heck was going on. Doctors and nurses had poked and prodded to their hearts content. I hate going to the doctor. I was left feeling violated. This ordeal was totally uncomfortable and making me wish that I had never gone to see my doctor a week earlier. Of course, if I hadn’t, I might be dead. So, I just had to deal with it. Like it or not. [continue and comment…]

I have been dropping on the same core group of blogs for as long as I can remember (some as long as 2 years). Of course, blogs come and blogs go, so my drop list has been continually evolving. About six months ago, I started using a modified version of Big Daddy Richards drop list. He and I seemed to be dropping on many of the same blogs. I have modified his list to include all the blogs that drop regularly on me. I have decided to publish my list and you are welcome to use it to do your daily drops. [continue and comment…]

It seems that every morning while Missy and I are taking our walk, there is a dog doing his “business” on this fire hydrant. How does every dog know, this is the place to go?
