Land of Nod Cinnamon Buns
If you are looking for a yummy and easy recipe for a Sunday morning brunch (or any morning for that matter) here is a great one that was passed along to me. It originated from the Allrecipes.com website. Make it the night before and just pop in the oven in the morning and enjoy!
20 unbaked frozen dinner rolls ( I get them from Safeway in the freezer section)
1C brown sugar
1/4 C instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 C raisins
1/3 C melted butter
1.Lightly grease a 10inch bundt cake pan. Place frozen rolls into pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, pudding mix, ground cinnamon and raisins. Pour melted butter over rolls. Cover with a clean damp cloth and leave overnight at room temp.
2.In the morning, preheat oven to 350. Bake rolls for 25min, until golden brown. Turn rolls out onto serving plate and serve warm.
I like to add a few extra raisins, but I know some people who omit them all together!

7 day forecast.
Apparently it's supposed to be +1 on Monday. My theory on the weather forecast is that it's geared towards preventing riots. Have you ever noticed how the last 2 days of a 7 day forecast are always warmer? And as each day passes those 2 days don't get closer, they keep on moving to the last 2 days? They truly are happy where they are - no complaints in their life, just happy to be the last 2 days. Unfortunately that leaves us in the cold. So you look at the forecast, get down about the -33 with the windchill AGAIN but see that it's supposed to get nicer on Monday.... or is it? I mean we know it has to come eventually, but when we're into March and spring isn't in sight all I can keep telling myself is "At least it's not November!".
For those of us who have depression - January and February are really hard months. Winter is coming to an end (or it's supposed to be coming to an end) and the lack of sunshine is so apparently obvious as each day passes. Personally, I'm not a fan of the winter sun, it's low in the sky and so incredibly bright that it annoys me but I will admit that it is better than the snow... and on the days where it's so cold there is a sundog around the sun - it's breathtaking (if you don't freeze your insides when taking that breath).
On this particular morning it was -37. Thankfully I was at the Church for a MOMS meeting or I might not have seen this because nobody goes out at 8:45 in the morning when it's -37 if they don't have to. I know a LOT of people who are struggling with this weather right now. For me if everyone in my house makes it through another day alive it's a good day. The bonus - I'm not alone... and neither is everyone else. Remember that in everything you are experiencing in your life - someone else is going through the same thing. You are NEVER alone.
The solution to cold weather and depression is simple. Friends. When it's -37 and nobody in their right mind would go out if they didn't have to, GO OUT... because when you're struggling with depression you're not in your right mind!
The prudent (the smart chicks) see danger and take refuge (call their friends); the simple (dummies for lack of a better word) go on (back to bed) and keep suffering (stay depressed). - Proverbs 22:3
Let your friends be your refuge! They want to help you! Think of your own friends and what you would do to help them feel better... pretty much anything right? And how does it make you feel when they let you help them? Good right? On the flip side - your friends feel the same way about you. When you don't ask for help or don't let them help you - you are denying them the right to serve you because they WANT to help you, they WANT to make you feel better and they WANT to be a part of your life. So let them.
