Fixins (food) to Watch The Steelers Tromp the Broncos

Chuck's Pittsburgh Steak Sandwich
I took Chuck to Primante's last week for a steak sandwich, so he said mom, let's make one at home and we went to the grocery store and this is what Chuck put together:
1 box of Sandwich steaks (Giant Eagle Brand)1 Loaf of Italian Bread (sliced thick)1 red onion (sliced thin)1 Bag Ore-Ida Extra Krispy Golden Krinkles1 bag of pre-made cole slawMarzetti's Cole Slaw dressingFrank's Red hot Sauce
Fry french fries then fry steak (45 seconds one side, 15 the other side) Place steak on one slice of Italian bread, pile some french fries on steak, layer with onions, layer on cole slaw you have mixed with cole slaw dressing and sprinkle with some hot sauce, place other slice of bread and take a bite. hmmm, sooo good.
This week, Charlie's girlfriend came over and we watched The Day After Tomorrow. (good movie) She said let's have a chicken wrap sandwich, so we went to the grocers and bought:
Shauna's Chicken Wraps
Boneless Skinless Chicken BreastsBig Flour Tortillas1 green pepper1 tomato1/4 red onion sliced thin1 can of black olives slicedRed lettuce1 bottle of ranch dressing
Cut up chicken into bite size pieces and saute' in olvie oil, dice pepper into small pieces, dice tomato. Warm tortillas in oven or microwave. To assemble open tortilla and put chicken then green pepper, tomato, onion, olives and ranch dressing. You can sprinkle some Frank's Hot sauce on it too.
Now that's good eating!

Internet Radio Changed Mom's Business and Life!

Internet Radio changed Mom's Life and Business!
by Kelly McCausey

Internet Radio changed Kelly McCausey's business and it ended up changing her life.

In early 2002 Kelly turned to the internet to help her earn some extra money. She built her first business website to promote a freelance desktop publishing company that she would be doing from home to provide some much needed extra cash. Already employed full time, she just wasn't making enough money to make ends meet. As a single Mom, Kelly wanted to earn more without sacrificing the amount of time she had to be home with her son.

Interestingly enough, the only job offers that came her way were not to do desktop publishing but rather friends and acquaintences asked her to build them a website or to help with their web graphic needs. Just a few weeks later Kelly tweaked her website to highlight these services instead and she soon had a steady flow of clients.

It was in 2003 that she first learned about internet radio. A longtime audible learner, she searched for programs of interest and found one that talked often about internet business and occassionally highlighted a work at home Mom. She devoured the audio archives and couldn't wait to hear the next episode each week.

She became so enamoured with internet audio that she looked for ways to incorporate audio with her existing websites, choosing to launch a short audio newsletter for her work at home Mom directory website, USAWAHM.com . The newsletter was only five minutes a week and quickly grew a listenership.

Then the worst happened. The internet radio program that she enjoyed so much went off the air. After several weeks she realized it wasn't coming back and search as she might, there were no other programs out there with similar content. This got her thinking seriously about how to bring more audio content to the web for other Moms like her.

With the sponsorship of InternetBasedMoms.com, Kelly launched Work at Home Moms Talk Radio in November 2003. An independant internet radio show on a shoestring budget, the show had over 250 weekly listeners before the end of the year. When podcasting exploded in fall of 2004, Kelly jumped onto the podcast wave, further growing her listenership and increasing her excitement about audio on the web.

Kelly believes that more Moms should launch internet radio programs and podcasts on a wide range of family freindly topics. She created a tutorial that shows how it can be done and is forming a network of programs to help to co-promote one another's shows, The Mom Cast and Mom's Radio Network.

WAHM Talk Radio changed the face of Kelly's business. She rarely accepts design work and has instead developed a large portion of her income through affiliate marketing. She mentors other work at home Moms in creating successful online businesses as well.
While Kelly discovered that what you start out with is not always what you end up with in business, it is important to find something that you feel passionate about and will enjoy doing over the long term. Internet business success is cumulative and she feels that she is just now reaping the true profits from her many hours of hard work over the years.

Rachel in the Brides Room

Getting ready for the wedding. 

Took the Tree Down

So sad, played Christmas carols for the last time.
Cleaned the corner out where the tree stood and packed
everything up.

Now I have to concentrate on redo-ing this house.
