have been shown to have imitative resonance behaviors and neurological evidence suggests the presence of some form of mirroring system 4 5 in humans brain activity consistent with that of mirror neurons has been found in the premotor cortex the supplementary motor area the primary somatosensory cortex and the inferior parietal cortex apparently briley had watched some sort of documentary on netflix or youtube or where ever she gets her information and wanted to enlighten me about this topic of course i continued to listen and interject the usual oh and uh huh the entire 8 minutes we were in the car but in all honesty i had no idea what she was talking about well that s not entirely true i understand the premise of this topic but really 7 30 am my brain is barely functioning enough to get us to work and school and she wants to discuss neurons oh my i think i ve lost too many brain cells over the past 20 years to do her justice in daily conversation i will gladly listen to her neuron conversations over so many more topics i m very thankful that she is so inquisitive and always stretching her brain and mine to learn new things posted by vintage chicken at 4 26 pm no comments labels around the house briley kids monday march 2 2015 we made it to march and loaded broccoli whew we made it i didn t think we would but march is here spring flowers green grass warmer days and lots of sunshine i survived another winter no small miracle while texas hasn t had the horrid winter weather like so many of our northern neighbors we have had our typical amount of cold and wet but this year just seems to be more soggy than most or i just don t tolerate the cold and wet like i did when i was younger come on fresh pretty new flowering baskets for my porch and the smell of fresh cut grass as typical texans my family needs sunshine and warm temps we need to be able to get outside and move around however the past few days we have been stuck inside looking at each other and eating it s about to get really ugly if we have to continue flipping channels to find something we can all agree on or figure out what we can all agree on to eat way too much family togetherness this weekend i tried a new quick fix broccoli recipe loaded broccoli oh yes this is a keeper super easy and super quick to fix of course as with any recipe i always add my own little touches and extra spices because i find that most people eat food that is just too bland for my family s salt addicted salsa craving and pepper phenom tastes i ve attached the recipe below just as i found it but please experiment and add more or less of whatever floats your family s boat this really is a keeper of a recipe and i would venture to guess that this just might replace our typical broccoli and cheese casserole that is served at every family holiday gathering bleck so sick of that this recipe and other greats can be found on https www facebook com just1courtney loaded broccoli low carb ingredients 4 5 small bunches of fresh broccoli cut into bite size pieces approx 4 6 cups 1 2 cup mayonnaise 1 2 cup sour cream 6 8 slices bacon cooked and cut into bite size pieces 1 bag shredded cheddar jack cheese two cups or cheese of your choice 3 4 tbs chopped fresh chives directions steam or boil broccoli pieces i boiled for 10 minutes drain and let cool mix together mayonnaise sour cream 1 cup of the shredded cheese and half of cut up bacon and placed in baking dish that was lightly sprayed with non stick spray top with remaining cheese and bacon pieces cook in oven 400 for 10 15 minutes until cheese is melted top with chopped chives and serve enjoy i added some chopped garlic and diced onions along with garlic salt course ground pepper and even a touch of dried parsley also i never boil broccoli because you lose so many nutrients when boiled but i did steam my fresh broccoli and it was awesome very yummy and went great with our grilled burgers and other fixings we had prepared for lunch let me know what your plans are for freshening up your porches decks and entry ways for spring i m ready to clean out the cobwebs and brighten up the porch with some splashes of color and life oh i almost forgot happy 179th birthday to texas posted by vintage chicken at 12 34 pm no comments labels around the house recipes wednesday february 25 2015 it really happened dfw got snow don t burst my bubble yet i know this isn t really real snow lol well ok i guess it s real this just isn t the quantity of snow that so many of our neighbors to the north are dealing with at the moment reason 877 why i am so very glad that i live in the south and in texas while dealing with this snow is an occasional inconvenience it s not a way of life or anything i have to learn to work around this morning briley and i were both dressed and ready to leave for school and work but the snow had just begun and was coming down in big massive chunky flakes my maternal instinct and limited exposure to snow told me to wait don t leave the house what if i dropped her off at school and then had to just turn around and go back to get her because they were dismissing school early this thought and many others were running through my head most especially visual images of me being stuck in a ditch somewhere because i am not prepared to drive in snow and i m even less equipped to be cold and in a ditch briley was not a happy camper when it comes to getting up and dressed for school to only find out that we were not going to school just yet she didn t let a little snow day delay her from returning to her natural position and snoozing for a few minutes it s a rough life no doubt i m surprised the cat wasn t curled up beside her she was even unhappier when she realized that i was going to be taking her to school eventually i mean if i have to work she has to go to school it s only fair right once i heard that the road were clear and school wasn t going to be dismissed we proceeded to school and work both of us arrived safely and the snow has stopped in dfw i suppose that was the one snow day of the year we get around here and it was only half of a day can t complain too much but that sunshine better be out this afternoon and the roads better be dry i m ready to be done with winter i know i know i should probably duck and hide from all of you throwing actual snow balls at me posted by vintage chicken at 12 00 pm no comments labels around the house briley ice day 2015 tuesday february 24 2015 icemageddon in texas 2015 yep it happens about once a year we get ice not soft fluffy snow that sounds and looks like fun in all of the movies you know the ones where the family gets outside together bundles up and has a great time building snow men and having snow ball fights uh yea that s not going to happen in the metroplex of texas sigh however what we will have is layers of heavy and unforgiving ice and sleet why do people get on facebook and talk about their drive into work on these days as if they expect an award as if they have accomplished the impossible well let me tell ya my life and that of other innocent idiot drivers is much too important to risk it for a day of work there s a reason i am not employed in the medical field or as a first responder it s because i am weak very weak i tell ya when the dfw metroplex gets lucky enough to have a legitimate day or two of ice snow i am going to be curled up on my couch in my pj s watching the news reports of all other idiots that felt they needed to prove how well they could or couldn t travel on sheets of ice people we are not talking about snow slush or just freezing rain we are talking about hard core inches of ice ice ice baby not to worry just about as quickly as the ice piles up it melts away just give it a few hours and we will have sunshine and warmer temps to bring us back to the reality that there is nothing romantic or even remotely fun other than a day off of work school about the ice back to the office and back to school to make up the missed time and remember how great it was to sleep in for one day or to sit around drinking hot cocoa and watching mindless tv it s great family time because no one can get away and it s great time for catching up on movies closet cleaning shrink dink making or household projects briley and i made quite a few fun shrinky dinks yesterday just because you ll notice the finished pillow while it s not a big deal and it took me less than an hour from start to finish but it had been a thorn in my side for months bailey lost her first pillow like this in the bus crash and i had made it to match her dorm bedding since the accident she has been very ocd about putting all of her pieces back together so like any good mother i assured her that i could make another after all i have plenty of material left well almost 5 months later and i still hadn t completed my easy peasy pillow until icemageddon 2015 i sat down cleaned off my sewing table and just whipped it right out you can t imagine the feeling of accomplishment it s quite pathetic that such a small thing requiring very little skill could feel so good to finish maybe i should implement a snow ice day at least one saturday out of each month for no other reason that to get caught up on projects and family time i doubt i could get anyone else to go along with my idea but i might consider allowing myself one saturday a month to sew or do a craft project without any guilt for not scrubbing toilets or mopping floors posted by vintage chicken at 10 39 am no comments labels around the house ice day 2015 kids sewing location dallas tx usa friday february 20 2015 the empty nest sorta i think we are getting a good dose of what it s going to be like when all three of my birdies have flown the coop brittany has moved into her own house bailey lives on the college campus and briley is in the 8th grade sigh life is becoming so boring and dull for al and i we might have to find a hobby or remember what we liked about each other 26 years ago that s really anybody s guess at this point we ve been together so long and had kids for so many years i doubt we can even remember what we liked about each other that long ago yes i know we still have one little birdie that lives at home but she s a busy birdie thankfully briley is very involved in band and theater arts she s an a student and very focused on school and school activities so far she s the easiest of the birdies and is no where near the high maintenance of others whew i finally got it right on the 3rd try thus the reason i feel like the next four years for her in high school are going to be an eye opening experience for us we are going to be lonely briley is becoming increasingly busy with her friends which are all wonderful her interests and while we joyfully support that the selfish mom in me is sitting back here waving profusely saying hold up what about me don t you need me oh well such is life i knew we would eventually be on the downhill side of raising kiddos and i m very proud of the three we have raised god has been very good to us and we are very blessed to have three beautiful souls and all three very different girls that understand the importance of family and values whether they want to admit it or not why the sudden sentimentality well it s like this this week we had to sign off on the direction of briley s high school years yes that hit me like a ton of bricks high school is upon us it s really going to happen my baby is four quick years away from flying the coop wiping away a tear not to worry our life and household will still be full of fun and fireworks this pretty much depicts our relationship over the past 26 years ha ha ha i m fairly certain that i will continue to have lots of topics to write about my sarcasm and snarky ness runs deep posted by vintage chicken at 9 53 am 2 comments labels around the house band briley college empty nest wednesday february 18 2015 24 years ago today as hard as it may be to believe i have a 24 year old daughter i know it s a shock to me too how did this happen my oldest daughter brittany is 24 years old i think i m going to have to repeat that over and over again in my head because i m still in total denial that is has been 24 years since we brought that precious little baby home i had no idea what i was doing and certainly had no clue how to keep such a valuable gift alive much less figure out how to feed and nurture this little high maintenance precious baby girl she s currently working full time and has returned to college to finish her degree in sports management and lives on her own paying her own bills ok so maybe not all but the majority of her own bills my point is that i m pretty sure i can call this kiddo a score i ve passed the motherhood test on this one undoubtedly lots of trial and error and many hours of prayer are the only reasons we survived each other i m so proud of the beautiful independent woman she has become her drive and determination are certainly motivating to me i have no doubt that she will accomplish anything she sets her mind out to do yes i swiped a picture of her and her honey off of fb because being the wonderful mother that i am i don t have any recent pictures of her ooops posted by vintage chicken at 9 40 am no comments tuesday february 17 2015 pyrex mania my little addiction has become a contagious situation my oldest daughter brittany has recently caught the pyrex fever how was i to know that i could inflict my silly little obsession on my children who knew i ve been a hard core fan lover of vintage pyrex for probably 30 years but until the internet and pinterest came along i had no idea there were lots of other people with pyrex fever oh be still my heart pinterest is just straight up eye candy for those of us in love with vintage pyrex dishes i have been collecting a few pieces here and there over the past 10 years and my collection started when i inherited the yellow gold daisy pattern bowls from my grandmother i ve since enlarged my collection to include solid red bowls refrigerator dishes divided serving trays the primary color mixing bowls and now i m on the hunt for a mint set of friendship patterned cinderella bowls in the red yellow design there are just too many fun patterns and colors and too little time and money however i ve recently started helping my daughter collect the turquoise amish butterprint dishes these are the various dishes i found for her birthday this month it was no easy task to give them up even if it was to my own daughter sign i hope she appreciates the brutal restraint that it took for me to hand them over the physical pain that my body went through to share my finds that s love people oh well my hunt for the perfect priced pyrex items continues and just so you know these are the bowl that i m on the lookout for now with that said if anyone reading my blog is in possession of or has seen some in a garage sale thrift store please for the love of all that is right contact me...
