I'm a Red Crayon!!!

I have to admit - this fits!!! What do you think???

You Are a Red Crayon

Your world is colored with bright, vivid, wild colors.You have a deep, complex personality - and you are always expressing something about yourself.Bold and dominant, you are a natural leader. You have an energy that is intense... and sometimes overwhelming.Your reaction to everything tends to be strong. You are the master of love-hate relationships. Your color wheel opposite is green. Green people are way too mellow to understand what drives your energy.

So Fun, So Easy, So Cheap!

In my advanced sewing class at college - yes I know, sewing, but I'll have you know I do have to take TWO chemistry classes for my degree and the only thing getting me through it is the cute tutors at the tutoring center! Any how, we recently had to make recycled pillow cases/covers. I fell in love with this project, and I went a little bit above and beyond by making three pillows. First I went to DI and found two XL men's shirts (and a way cute skirt for me!) and cut them down to fit the pillows, had to add a decorative trim, sewed around them, and wa la I was done. Now to put the pillow in you just unbutton the shirt and slip the pillow inside. Now with the buttons showing you have a decorative pillow! I made two for my couches, and one for my bed. I don't really care for the one on my bed, that was one of my old pink dress shirts now converted into a pillow. How fun is that? I love sewing, yet ask me that in a week when I start working on my dress project - gads!!!

It's a FREAKING Blizzard here...

This is on the back porch - you can't even see the mountains...Believe it or not I think I'm actually liking this kind of weather, or maybe now I'm just use to it! Even driving home in this blizzard I took my time, and I pumped the breaks so I wouldn't slide all over the place! I'm just growing leaps and bounds. Maybe I can live in Alaska all year round??? NOT!

Season 2

Cash ordered Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, Season 2, last night from Amazon, so we are just both anticipating it's arrival! He decided that he wanted to take his time ordering the seasons and kind of drag it out. I tried to convince him to just order all of them at once. Not only would it save him money, but then he would have all of them! He didn't want too. I shouldn't complain I'm not the one buying them, I'm just the one who gets to enjoy them when they get here. Oh how did I ever get sucked into this show??? Go ahead poke fun, but when it comes down to it all this show has such good values and morals that it almost makes me a better person by watching it! Not only that, but Sully is so dreamy...even in that "Last of the Mohican's" get up he wears on the show...I still am trying to figure out what his occupation is in the town!!!

A New Favorite FOOD!

I just found this recipe the other day online and tried it out with dinner. Oh my goodness - it is so good! I figured since everyone seems to be on a food kick, myself for sure, I would post this new favorite recipe. The only problem, after trying this new recipe that I will tell you about shortly...I have been telling everyone, and everyone that I am telling doesn't like sweet potatoes. Hopefully you will like sweet potatoes and give this recipe a try. This recipe is not a "sweet" dish, it is the exact opposite, oh but it's a tasty one! It is so quick and easy, and makes a nice side dish for about any meal. Not only that, but I hear that sweet potatoes are a lot healthier for you than potatoes. I just love the color that they are, and I am all about making a meal very colorful when I cook!

Sweet Potato Dish
3 Large Sweet potatoes peeled and cut in to 1 inch squares.
2T. EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) or regular oil.
Dash of garlic salt
Dash of pepper
Dash of oregano
1 half large white onion diced. (optional)
1 clove of garlic. (optional)

In 9X13 pan place EVOO then toss in cut sweet potatoes mix together so sweet potatoes get coated with the oil. Then toss in onion, garlic, and sprinkle with garlic salt, oregano, and pepper. Bake at 350 for about 60 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Then enjoy this bright and tasty side dish! Goes great with chicken!

I'm Changing My Major

Listen up Muggles - I want to become a Wizard! I recently just finished, for the first time ever, the very first Harry Potter book. Soon after finishing it I rented the movie...and that is a whole other blog! After watching the movie and reading the book I am now sucked in to all this wizard and magic stuff! I even want to go to Hogwarts School of Magic!!! Wouldn't that be so fun! I think that Hermime and I could be BFF!!! Not only that, but I would be totally crushing on Harry, and can only hope that he would accompany me to any dance the school will hold. Liberty Potter - has a nice ring to it. Well that is my life changing news that I have. I'm off to read the second book of Harry Potter and then I get to watch the movie. How exciting for me!
