The Cheeto Fix

“That One Chick” #5

Ever since I was a little girl, my favorite snack has been Cheetos. Almost any kind will do, but my very favorite are the real, live Cheetos brand…

baked. To me…the others don’t even count.

I loved Cheetos so much that at Christmastime, while everyone else was getting a stocking filled with tons of goodies, I got one with a bag of Cheetos stuffed in it. My brother quickly pointed out to me that I was being completely ripped off, and that maybe I should ask Santa to just put the bag of cheese puffs under the tree next time. It took me a while to figure out what he meant.

Last year, on Gracious Rain, we had a Cheetos taste test, because I had no idea that there were so many different kind in the world. Amazing. Wonderful. Inspired. It was a grand event with everyone getting ballots and samples so that they could judge accurately. Of course, since it was my taste test, I felt completely justified in stacking the vote.

Cheetos baked won hands down.

Don’t believe me?

I believe we sang several chorus’ of “It’s my taste test and I’ll cheat if I want to, cheat if I want to, cheat if I want to…”

Where Your Heart Is…

As you may have noticed, we had a guest this morning.

That, my friends, is because I was working on a few Valentines of my own…

for some little cupids that hang around these parts.

And just when I finished with these, a cute bald kid I know begged asked politely for…

a bit of this. Amazing what you can pull off in the wee hours for the ones close to your heart.

Hope you have a happy Valentine’s Day tomorrow!

Oh, and please do kiss someone.

Wouldn’t want you to waste the day!

heh, heh.

My partner for the swap was the one and only Shannon herself–the sweetheart that sets all these fun things up in the first place.

Look at all this cool stuff!

Her next swap–that you should totally join will be at Easter time–so be on the lookout for that!

The Secret to Life

Guest Post by Bruce

“The Vision that you glorify in your mind, the Ideal that you enthrone in your heart-this you will build your life by, this you will become.”

 

James Allen (1864-1912)

The above principle, which others have called “The Secret” or the “Law of Attraction,” was clearly stated for the first time in “As a Man Thinketh” by James Allen.

As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. Buy it here.

In “As a Man Thinketh,” James Allen reveals how our thoughts determine reality. Whether we are conscious of it or not, our underlying beliefs shape our character, our appearance and health, our circumstances, and our destinies. Allen teaches us how we can master our thoughts to create the life we want.

My advice is this simple: Buy it, read it, live it, love it.

Yes, it truly is that great.
