Whoa Snow!!!

When I was first in the Army (my first Christmas), I experience a slight snow fall - like not even enough to cover the ground.  But what is falling from the sky today is AMAZING.  Through the night about 3 inches of snow fell, but 11am another 3-4 inches have fallen.  It's so pretty and new.  I took Moey out in it and took a couple pictures to share with you. 

Have a great day my friends!

One more thing for today....

So I was chatting with my good friend Dinelle today.  Chatting about the sad state of the world...this is what I said to her:
The world is very different than it used to be - people are very self centered and its a shame.  There was a time when people would come to your home when you moved in, and welcome you.  Today they are checking to make sure you are not a sex offender, another is watching what you move in so they can rob you, and the whore who lives on the corner is unbuttoning the top button of her too tight blouse so she can try and screw your husband.  Sad but true.

I miss the days when you could go to bed with the windows open and the door unlocked.  When trick or treating was not scary. Before tickle me Elmo's and Polly Klass, I miss those days. 

FOR SALE

So the doors to my etsy shop are finally open. I have posted some of the crafts that I have made recently. I am working on stuff all the time and there isn't too much time in the day that I am not thinking about what else I could be making or trying to figure out how. So I am sure there will be new things listed regularly. PLUS I am kind of hoping that this can supplement my income. I know, that seems a little out there, but we will see.

So that is pretty much my life right now. Trying to find somewhere to live, run Tad's errands (wow I think I have had this job before) and crafting. So before I get too high from the glue fumes, I am off to make some dinner.

Speaking of dinner....

Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken

3-4 chicken breasts

1 jar of either Target brand Hawaiian BBQ sauce or Lawry's Hawaiian Marinade

1 20oz can of Pineapple chunks

Put a little olive oil in the crock pot - put everything in together. Cook on high for about 4 hours. Once chicken is cooked, using two forks, shred the chicken. Stir it all up and let it cook on low for about another hour or two.

Serve over rice or on a roll as a sandwich

SO YUMMY!!!!

Okay, enjoy the day my friends....You only get one chance at TODAY!

Okay so...........

I guess there have been a few things going on since I last blogged. I'm such a slacker. Tad has been traveling more, fun for the first night, but then I am ready for him to be home again. I have been baking and cooking more....yum yum yum. The weather has been pretty nice so a scootering I have been. I am getting pretty comfortable and learning the streets pretty well, too. Each day I start with a trip to the gym, its about two miles from the house, then I tan and sometimes hit the grocery store. Then it is back home to hang out with the kids (AKA) Moey and Alley, the dogs. Get my butt in gear and get dressed, run any errands Tad might have, and then venture out. I have found the hobby lobby, Joann's, Ross, targets, petsmart, and a whole host of cute little places I want to check out. Tomorrow's adventure takes me downtown...cute shops, cup cakeries and just general tooling about. My scooter is the best - I'm getting about 90 miles per gallon. Can you believe that - its like a prius, only mine makes noise and I get way better parking places. I have only been almost killed a couple time - people suck, and the bus drivers do to - 2 buses have almost taken me out. Bastards. Anyway....lets see...

My friend Cami, who is in the process of moving up to Denver, came to hang out with me and Tad the other night. We had a lot of fun, so much I don't even remember everything. Thank goodness for cell phones with access to facebook and cameras. I was informed that I spent a lot of time in the ladies room, I found random flower pics, facebooked while I should not have, text friends at wee hours of the night and recorded a fight, that I truly have NO recollection of. Fun night...woke up on the bathroom floor with my robe, my dog and glass of water. Thanks Babe. Needless to say, Saturday was a rough one.

The mountains here have some snow on them already, the leaves are starting to change and the mornings are definitely a little crisper than before, its beautiful though. I am so glad to be here. I have missed true Autumns - not the two weeks we would get in AZ, winter....well that will be another experience, but I am looking forward to it. Maybe I can get some chains for my scooter tires - ha ha ha. At that point I will be home bound. Hopefully cooking, canning and baking myself nutty.

So things I have made recently:
Peanut Butter Chocolate cupcakes - AMAZING
Banana Bread (for the first time) - Fabulous
Cheesy spinach tortellini - so yummy
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken - to die for
Spicy Chicken Casserole - yeah not so much

I just bought some yummy zucchini and more bananas....more to come
