Resume

I have gone in search of my Resume.  I believe my laptop ate it. I can't find it anywhere....AAARRRGGGHHH. Just when I was going to post it to Virgin America's website. Now I have to create another one and my dear hubby updated my windows and I don't have access to office. So now I wait till he gets home to create another resume. I guess that is not where I am supposed to be working. If only I knew what I was supposed to be when I grow up.

Quiet

It sure is quiet with Hubby gone. I was so surprised that having him gone only one day sure has made a difference in the noise level in the house. Usually he is sleeping the day away b/c of his work schedule but I can still hear him snoring or rolling over or what not. It is knowing I can go in the room wake him and have someone to chat with. I have the tv on in the back ground just for noise. (too bad there isn't a show with snoring on it....lol) While he is away I have a few projects to keep me busy. (cleaning the carpets, mowing and such)  Now to make some noise!!!!

Tie Dye Continues

Well the two shirts came out great. I wasn't able to make all four due to running out of dye. OOPS!  So next week I will perform part two of the saga. I will say the first two came out really well.  Fave cousin and I will be sporting some cute mickey wear..... My neighbors even wanted to see them.  Can you guess what color the mickey shape is in? None other than my signature color.....PINK. The rest of the shirt has blue, green and pink on it.  Hubby helped me complete the two shirts so many thanks go out to you..... Now to figure out how to put TINK on a shirt.....I would use glitter for my fairy dust. May your day be magical.

Tie Dye

Did you know that you can tie dye a shirt to look like mickey mouse is on the front? Well I am going to attempt to make matching shirts for my cousin and myself for our up coming trip. Not only will we have two shirts apiece. It will give hubby and I a shirt to wear when we go again. How fun is that!? If they turn out well I will figure a way to send a pic out for all to see. I might put some 60's music on to channel my inner hippie!!!

What's 4 wheels plus 4 wheels?

It's a two car family!!!!! My Jeep has been fixed again. Yeah, Yippie and all that jazz. Mister "N" sure does good work. He got Jeep parts ( two idle pulleys and the mounting parts) plus the labor for a grand total of $180.00. He did it in one day too. How cool is that?  I took the jeep for a test drive yesterday to do some shopping. Got Little bit her birthday present and some good stuff for me.  Needed socks and unmentionables. I enjoyed shopping at Kohl's and JC Penny.  So I will be running around town in Big Red. Watch out motorists.... I'M BBAAACCCKKKK.....

Car Problems....

As if having my jeep break down last Sunday wasn't enough. Hubby's truck decided that the right front caliper came off during our drive home from county court. He had to testify against some bad guys. Thankfully it happened in the best possible place for that to happen.  At a stop light in a small town, we had 3 people stop to ask if we needed help.  God sure watched over us today. I happened to be the one driving. The tow truck driver gave me the number of a local repair shop and it is kind of like the one my parents take their vehicles to.... I may have found a Mister "J". How cool is that?  While hubby is away I am going to have the jeep towed to the shop and hopefully get fixed. I am going to call the local shop first to make sure they can work on it as well as fix it. So we may be a 2 car family again. Hubby was able to ride the motorcycle to the auto store before it closed and got the much needed bolt. One of our neighbors even offered us the use of their vehicle. How lucky are we that we have such great neighbors!!!  We are truly blessed.

Guilty Pleasure

I love watching the TV show Project Runway! I so enjoy the fashion and the sewing. (even though I don't sew and probably won't ever sew) I think it is really interesting to see what the people come up with in the time constraints that they have. Some really fabulous dresses and some not so much.  It just goes to show you what a little creativity can do.

Police Cookies

What are these you ask? It is just a chocolate chip cookie made with 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 white chocolate chips. Get it black and white.... I am going to be baking a batch to send with my hubby to give to some of the guys at work. I hope they find it amusing to be eating police cookies since they are police officers.  They were kind enough to check on us this week while hubby had some medical issues. My way of saying thanks....

Frimp anyone?

I got me some shrimp!!! You can fry it, boil it, BBQ it, and the list goes on and on. I plan on my shrimp and rice recipe.  Just use a stick of butter, a teaspoon of minced garlic, some red pepper flakes (don't have to use these but I like it a little hot), parsley (fresh or dried) to taste, and Parmesan cheese grated on top once you are done cooking. If you have some white wine a 1/4 of a cup makes it even tastier. Just pour all of that over the rice and voila' you have shrimp and rice. Sometimes when I am being lazy and don't want to dirty another dish I add broccoli to the dish. (it is the frozen kind) Steam it up with the shrimp.  YUMMY!!!! My neighbor brought me a 10 lb bag. Whaoo!!! Guess what's for supper?
