In an effort to save money and eat healthier, I am going toplan out meals/menus for at least two weeks at a time (I was brave and did 3 weeks this time…but I also have a week of training during the middle of that time period, so I don’t need leftovers for lunch)  :)  So…my [...]

Yes, I know it’s not Friday…but I forgot to blog last Friday, so I’m doing it today.  :) Last week I made an awesome crock pot meal.  I found a recipe for Mediterranean Pork Chops (ok, so the original recipe called for chicken, but I had pork chops) on the blog, A Year of Slow [...]

So, I am going to do “Food Fridays”…but just not today.  I didn’t cook much this week; Don and Urs fed me ribs and green chile pork stew (which was DELICIOUS), and last night I just did fillets on the grill and saffron rice, so no real recipes there  :)  Next week though, I’ll post! [...]

So, my friend Sirena does a blog every Tuesday called Tasty Tuesdays…so, I decided to steal her idea and do Food Fridays.  I love reading her blog on Tuesdays and getting good recipe ideas!!  We are both trying to cook healthy, so anyone else who is doing the same, start a recipe blog and we [...]

Well, I didn’t get a picture of Odis’ famous belt buckle…but Lisa did!!!    Warning…if you’re easily embarrassed, the belt buckle probably isn’t for you!  Needless to say, this group ALWAYS has a great time!!!! Can’t wait for the next outing…Jake at the Spoke on the 12th, here we come ! *Hugs*

I got an email this morning from my friend Anne, and her hubby, Ira, is going to be coming home from Iraq NEXT WEEK after another year over there!!!!!!!  Such a relief that this deployment is coming to an end; I can’t wait for the homecoming ceremony!    *Hugs*

Wow, what a weekend!  Friday, I finished my EPA class at noon and actually managed to get out of the office by 12:30.  I drove to Erin’s and then went to have crawfish with her and Michael.  Nice, relaxing night!  Saturday morning, I was up bright and early to drive to Tyler for Jase and [...]

So, last week was insanely busy; lots going on, so this is gonna be a long one…with pics and all!    Tuesday  night I went to the Nine Inch Nails / Jane’s Addiction concert with Anne, Sarah, and Ross.  Everyone who knows me knows that I’m MUCH more of a country person, but hey, why [...]
