Giveaway and recipe...

I know I talk about her a lot but it's because I love her and she's one of my best friends. When Mrs. Adventure first told me about her blog I was completely clueless about the "Blog World" and all of it's...perks. The fact of the matter is, my blog is almost therapeutic to me. It's a place where I can get things off my chest that maybe I can't say in the real world. It's a place I can seek validation in times of feeling uneasy about something, or just to put down events that have happened for personal historical value. I love to write and have been told many, many, MANY times that I missed my calling and should have been a writer. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. The important thing is that it soothes me when I need to get something out of my head and I have a place to put it.

Perks. You know your attention was mine when I said 'perks'. Go ahead...just admit it. It's just you and me here. ;)  Some of the perks of Blogville is that you find people on here that are amazing in their triumphs, maniacal in their passions, heartbreaking with their tragedies.  I've met a few people in Blogville that maybe someday I'll actually have the pleasure and honor of meeting in real life. (Yes, Allison...I'm talking about you.)

I have known Mrs. Adventure and Mr. Arkansas (her husband) for some time now and know first hand how yummy their concoctions can be. If you happen to like portabello mushrooms and garlic, you may want to head on over here and see what she's got for us today. It looks yummy and I can't wait to try it for myself!!  She also used Garlic Nuggets. Let me tell you. These things are worth every penny as they are scrumpdiddlyumtious!  No joke. LOL  I'll be taking advantage of her 20% off coupon code on their website. You can bet on that!

She also has a giveaway going on right now for a $75.00 Hayneedle Gift Card Giveaway. I know my Gran could use a rain barrel with as much plant watering as she does...

I hope you guys are having a good day. After I pick Monkey up from work today, I'll be heading over to the Chevrolet Dealership and possibly test driving an Equinox. Maybe if I feed Monkey before we get there, he'll be somewhat well behaved and I'll be able to focus on the vehicle and not be so distracted by my two-year old (who is also bringing in some two-year molars right now).  He happens to be OBSESSED with cars right now so maybe that's just the place to take him... LOL. Who knows?  I'm sure I'll have something to say about it tomorrow...
