And I’m hiding from it. I don’t care what ANYBODY says, STUFF happens when that big ole circle is shining bright lighting up the night sky! It’s gorgeous, yes, but you’ll never convince me things don’t get a little wacky and hectic during the full moon phase.

I’m usually a night owl anyway, but I rarely get to bed before 2 or 3 in the morning when the moon is full. Last night I never did go to bed. I’ve been up since 7:30 am yesterday morning. I’m beginning to feel it, too, as well as all the exercise I’ve been getting playing with our Nintendo Wii.

Come to think of it, maybe I should give the full moon credit for the 195 I bowled today. Oh yes I did say that! I bowled a 195 and then slipped back into the 170’s on the next couple of games. Not too shabby for somebody who hasn’t bowled regularly for about 6 or 7 yrs.

Anyway, back to the full moon…with Halloween just next week it’ll at least be a bit of relief to many that the moon will still be lighting the way for the kiddies somewhat still. That, and the fact that time doesn’t “fall back” until sometime in November this year, will probably be one of the lightest and brightest Halloweens we’ve ever had. Ok, we certainly need to be appreciative of that.

Ok, I’m rambling…that’s what happens when I’ve been awake almost 40 hrs straight. No fear, I rarely have to drive…have everthing I need right here at home. No sleeping at the wheel…maybe here at the puter, but not at the wheel…KATHUNK! ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz………..

Hey All. Over the course of three months, give or take, I’ve had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with numerous readers and other bloggers from all over the world. I enjoy reading the comments as much as the posts, from this blog and the others I visit. Just like a kid with a new toy, I get excited when I open my email and see I have a comment.

Although I have a confession to make. When Angela asked me to start posting on her blog I was a bit skeptical and a little apprehensive, being somewhat in the dark about this whole blogging thing. Initially she had to walk me through the Wordpress steps until I got the hang of it. I still have to email her occasionally to ask a question when I get thrown a curve ball.

The last time this happened Angela was out of pocket (Hmmm…or maybe she wasn’t. LOL). So, I figured it out and emailed her back saying never mind, “I Did It All By Myself”. She replied, “You’re growing up Blog Baby!”

The recipe I’m sharing today almost went in the Round File. WAIT, don’t go anywhere! Not that it’s not good, it’s just so common to me and a lot of you may already be familiar with it. Then I recalled reading all the posts, comments, opinions, etc. on blogs from all over and decided, Oh what the heck! Just because it’s well known to me doesn’t mean everybody’s heard of it.

When I was introduced to this recipe, it was served as breakfast dish. Now I’ll be straight up with you. I’m not a breakfast, or a morning person. I jump-start the day with coffee and diet coke, both. However, during the Fall and Winter, when its cooler, I like to have breakfast for supper. Scrambled eggs, turkey polish sausage, hashbrown casserole, or grits and this Sausage, Cream Cheese Dish.

Brunch Casserole

1 Pound Ground Turkey Sausage*
1 – 8 Ounce Package Cream Cheese (I use 1/3 less Fat), softened
2 Packages Crescent Rolls (I use reduced Fat)
1 – 2 Tablespoons Butter, optional (I use Shedd’s Spread Country Crock Light)

Brown sausage in skillet, drain any fat. Mix the sausage, while warm and cream cheese together, blending well, set aside. In a 13”x9” pan, (I spray lightly with Pam) unroll and place one package of crescent rolls in bottom, pressing to seal the seams and slightly up the sides of the pan. Spread cream cheese mixture on top. Place remaining package of crescent rolls over top of cream cheese mixture, seal seams, and bake according to directions on crescent roll package; or until golden brown. Remove from oven and spread butter over top of crescent rolls until butter is completely melted. Serve for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack.

*Use your choice of sausage; mild or hot pork sausage, turkey, or vegetarian (Gimme Lean). BTW, I don’t eat red meat, (beef or pork).

Bon Appetite

Virtual life at it’s funnest! NOW I no longer have to GO somewhere to go bowling, play tennis or softball, shoot billiards, target practice, or just plain have fun. I can do so right in the comfort my own living room!

You see, I plunked down a chunk o’ change and bought DH and me a Nintendo Wii Console and a couple of games. We’ve been having a BLAST with this thing today! We’ve been bowling, playing tennis, softball and at this moment he’s in the living room mastering the Billiard game.

I had to rearrange the living room just a little to make room for us to play. This isn’t one of those game setups where you park yourself in a chair or on the couch. There’s a lot of movement involved which is THE main reason why I bought it. I NEED SOMETHING to get some kind of exercise since I’m not involved with much else outside of my own home.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Check out these videos of the commercials for the Nintendo Wii. Gotta LOVE it! Fun for EVERYONE of ALL ages!

Mover over grandkids! Mamaw & Papaw have their OWN tournaments going now!

Off to shop for more games and accessories…
