Question

Question someone posted on Facebook: If you are pro-death penalty and pro-war, you aren't really pro-life then, are you?

My response: The difference between being pro-death penalty/pro-war and being pro-life is innocence. Some times war needs to happen. While I'm not always pro-death penalty/pro-war (each situation is unique), I am ALWAYS pro-life.
What would your answer be?


What I've been up to this week...



I picked out this fabulous bed set while back in Kansas. I've been looking for the perfect set for a couple years now and I finally found something I love! My mom decided to buy it for Trav & me for our anniversary. Our anniversary isn't til November, but she let me have it early. =) Anyway. I decided that I needed to put this on the bed....now to get some curtains put up. That might have to wait til next week though!


In celebration of fall I made pumpkin bread. I think I'm addicted! I've never made pumpkin bread before, but it wasn't too hard. And just because I'm nice, I'm including the recipe below! Enjoy!!! =)

 Pumpkin Bread
(I found this on the internet...I don't remember what website.)

1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 c. vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
2/3 c. water
3 c. white sugar
3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt (I only used 1 tsp.)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans. (I used 3 mini loaf pans plus a regular size loaf pan. I recommend using smaller loaf pans than the average size loaf pan. My reg. size loaf took quite awhile longer to bake. If you do use reg. size pans I'd reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees or so so it won't burn.)

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water, & sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, & ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.

Bake for about 50 minutes. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. =)

I'm not a Tweeter or whatever it's called, but I thought it was funny anyway! =)

Kansas

I'm currently in the car on my way back to MD. Sigh. Why can't vacation last longer?
