Science Daily

Well, there hasn't been a whole lot going on around here lately. The old adage of 'no news is good news' kinda comes to mind though so I'm not complaining! Just trying to finish up our taxes and get everything in to 'the tax lady'. So while I've just been toiling away on homework and reading Anne Rice, I've been checking out my favorite websites also.

I think that most of you who read our blog would really like this site. It has everything from forensics and medicine to archaeology and ancient civilizations. There is a lot of information on Jerusalem and many other cities that are in the bible as well as people from the bible. This story for example is about King Herod and his mausoleum and sarcophagus. There is just really a ton of interesting and useful information about pretty much anything that is related to science. Check it out and see what ya think.

Technical Difficulties!

Well, I decided to update my blog background for the upcoming holiday (Valentine's) and poof! My friends and family list is kaput SO, I go in to readd it on my layout page and I just keep getting 'error on page' grrrrr. So if ya see several different backgrounds and layouts over the next few days, you'll know why. I'm really not that indecisive! =P

Forensic Blog

For those of you who saw my forensic blog that I had started, I have switched to a different site to keep my forensic blog to use as a resume once I get closer to graduation. I was at a school seminar and the speaker was one of the C.E.O's for careerbuilder.com before he started his own job placement company and wrote a few books. He said that using a professional blog is the 'new resume' and will eventually render paper resumes useless. He also advised it's recommended to keep your personal blogs or myspace etc separate from your professional pages.

Well anyways, if you'd like to check out my professional style blog, it's at: http://brandylewisforensics.wordpress.com/ or you can just go check it out anyways just to humor me, read my A.P.A (American Psychological Association ) format essays, and/or leave me a few comments! =)

Painting Memories!

I guess since most of ya didn't know I painted, I thought I'd share a few of my ones I've done in the past. These are from 8-10 years old so I have a bit of catching up to do to finish my recently started painting of Mia.

"Mom's Pride"

"Kitty Laying in a Basket"

"Rose"

"Night Snowstorm"

"My Secret Place"

One of the greatest cooking tricks of all time!

Om'gosh! OK so, John and I are in the store buying stuff to make homemade chili. We're at the check out and the cashier says "I love you people! You put the onions into a bag instead of having onion skins getting all over my check out counter." Then she says, "Want to know how to get the onion smell out of your hands after you cut them?" We're like "Oh, heck yeah!" since we use onion in almost everything we cook. So she says, "After you cut the onions up, rub your hands onto any kind of stainless steel such as your kitchen sink." We were like "OK, Cool we'll try that." So we got home and cut up the onions and it so worked! No more scrubbing my hands for days trying to get the onion scent out! Thank you random check out girl, we're forever in your debt!

So, Here's a few tricks that I know about now:

1. onion scent on hands listed above.

2. slowly dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar on the back of your tongue to get rid of hiccoughs.

3. look at any kind of bright light (preferabley NOT the sun ><) if you need to sneeze, it'll get those stubborn sneezes out.

Just thought I'd share those hints with ya'll. If you know any more hints or tricks please, by all means share them! =)

Happy New Year and some updated pics of the family also!

Here are a few pictures of us on New Year's. The kids had so much fun (and so did John of course) lighting fireworks. Here's to hoping that the new year will be brighter, we're off to a good start so far. =)

Everybody lighting fireworks
