Reusable ice cubes

My mom bought these for us Monday at Bed Bath & Beyond in Oxford. They are reusable ice cubes and are filled with distilled water. You just place them in the freezer and use them like regular ice cubes. I really don't like drinking something after the ice has melted (It's just gross) so these are really going to come in handy. You can even wash them in the dishwasher, but I choose to wash them in the kitchen sink.

I guess I don't get out a lot because I have never seen these before.

Hump Day Happenings

My mind is scattered so here goes.
•Sunday afternoon I made Red Velvet Chess Squares. I got the recipe out of the Alabama Living magazine. They were real good!! This was my first attempt, so I think I did good. They were real moist when I first made them, now they are getting hard :(.

•Saturday evening I went to the Ronnie Milsap concert. Our town puts on a 4th of July Celebration every year with music and fireworks. The first year we moved here the Oak Ridge Boys were here, then the next year Ray Stevens came. Ronnie was here last year but it was rained out, so he came back this year. I took a few pictures, but because I didn't get good seating the pictures were no good. I did get a video of the fireworks.

•Chris is having trouble with his left achilles tendon. He is in a boot and taking medicine. Friday night he went with some friends camping at Little River Canyon. I believe he had a great time, he was in a great mood when he got back!

•I have been trying to keep up with the Casey Anthony trial. I don't want to get that much into in, but I have been reading a few news stories about it.

•I finally bought me a pair of black leggings. I have been wanting some to wear with a dress that I have. I wore it Saturday night to the concert.

I think that is all I can think of now. I am sure there is more, my mind is just a little spaced out right now.

Things that I like

Thought I would do a post on things that I like RIGHT NOW. It will probably change though. My mind changes just like the seasons! HA!!!
Anyway here they are:
Bubble Gum (out of the machine) - I have put more quarters into the one at work than I need to. I know it is bad for your teeth, and plus it really doesn't last long. Sometimes I get four, three or two. Just what ever the machine gives me. You are supposed to get two for a quarter, but it hardly ever does that.
Twizzlers - The kind with the tangy filling. My friend Kim got me addicted to them.
Cucumbers - My friend Sherrie has a garden and she brings them to us at work. Thanks Sherrie!
Wearing my new shoes - I got them a couple of weekends ago and I would wear them with everything, if they went with everything.
The Internet on my cell phone - I LOVE IT!!! I can check everything at anytime I want. It is just so convenient.
My Bobble - My mom got it for me a couple of weekends ago at Old Navy. I got the yellow top.
My hair - It is still in the training mode. Some days it does real good, and others it just gives up and does its own thing.

I told you it was raining....

Here is a picture I took yesterday as I was leaving work. There is a big ditch and a road that you can't see.
