Saturday is here!

Today has been a long day for us. We went to eat at our favorite mexican restraunt in Marlow, Okla. Then we stopped by the Dollar General so get some bottled water, and milk and such. Silly me I had left my cash in the back pocket of my jeans. Am glad I had my debit card with me.

Tonight I want to make a veggie Rotini Salad

Here is the recipe I am going to use.

1 package of veggie Rotini 1/2 cup of red onion chopped
1/2 cup brocolli florets 1 cup of cherry red tomatos halved
1/2 cup black olives halved 1/2 cup cubed mozzarella cheese
1 bottle of Itilian dressing 1 tbsp lemon juice

In Medium bowl combine veggies and mozzarella cheese with dressing and lemon juice;set aside. Cook veggie rotini according to package directions drain and rinse in cold water; drain well. Toss with veggies and cheese. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

I found this recipe on the back of the veggie rotini. I hope it turns out wonderful. Many years ago my friend Christy Martin use to make this when I would stay all night. I could eat a ton of that it was so yummy. I will not put the dressing it it because I like ranch dressing where as Mr. C will go with the Itilian dressing.

Is anyone watching the new 2 1/2 men tv show? I am and I really do miss Charlie. Although I am trying really hard to adjust to the new character. I feel like the new character is too whiny for me.. I love big and strong men just like my Mr.C. He does have a big soft heart but he is never whiny.

The photo I added is from the drive I take when I go to Elk City Oklahoma. I enjoy stopping at this stop and finally took a few photos.

Does anyone have any ideals for working in a art journal? I am getting sent one to work in and I am not a artist at all! But I am willing to give it a whirl. I think it will be fun and open up some of my creative juices so to speak. Of course I have looked at a million pictures on the internet. I want to make it fun for my partner as well as for me!

I am going to stop here!

Hello October!!

How in the world did September get by me without a single post? I know we did some fun things this last month but I must have not documented anything.

We got Aaron a cute F150 with towing package to drive. He got his driving license on the first try! Woo Hoo!! Am very proud of him! Now Trevor thinks he is his own personal driver. Of course Aaron will take Trevor's money for gas money, just like a real personal driver.

I have been looking for a raincoat with a liner inside to use while working. Luther actually found me one of his that he has never worn. I also found one at Blair that I want to order for $20.00. Which I am still going to order because it is more girly!

Oh goodness I have been taking care of business this morning. Has taken me about a hour to do several things. I always put off paper work and then once it is done I always feel like a huge weight is being lifted off my shoulders.

I am going to run to grocery store and get some items for lunch. Mr. C should be getting home soon. He had a class he had to attend this afternoon at El Reno Oklahoma.

I want to make a simple chicken recipe. Just need to find one first on the internet. Love looking at recipes.

Well till next time...

Birthday

The end of the month

Where in the world did august go? I am amazed at how fast this month has flown by. I must adit I am so glad that school has started back. Gives the boys less time to fight and argue! Trevor is falling behid in his pre~algebra class. At first he loved it but not so much now. I am not a lot of help in algebra, but if he would listen I could get him caught up. We tend to butt heads over homework.

I am at flower shop so I can only say a quick hi before I have to get off of here.
Have a great day!

Getting ready for school tomorrow!!

I am so excited the boys start school tomorrow! Our rural school seems to be starting later than all the schools around here. Took Aaron back to Dr. Giles yesterday and his finger is looking so much better. I also got Aaron enrolled in school. Couldn't get Trevor enrolled because he hasn't taken the 7th grade shot they requires. So I will be leaving work early today and getting the shot for him. He is not going to miss the 1st day that is for sure.

Yesterday was a great swap bot day for me. I had 3 awesome packages in the mail and a pen pal letter, also a box of goodies I ordered from Kawaii Ya. Now the rest of the week my mailbox will be empty.

Have been thinking about getting my sewing machine out and working on a small lap size quilt. I so need to be doing something creative instead of being on the computer playing frontierville all the time.

This past Friday and Saturday night I visited with my friends Leona and Michael Ann. Michael Ann came in from Kentucky and I haven't seen her in 3 years or so. It was wonderful to reconnect with them together. I visit with Leona some as she only lives about a mile from me. Actually I should be visiting her more but just can't seem to get into town as much as I like.

I hope everyone has stayed cool in the extreme heat we have been having. Thank goodness we have been in the low 100 degrees the last few days!

Till next time:)

Summertime blues

I haven't been on in awhile because of Aaron. We finally got him in the hospital Monday 18th and he got out Monday 25th! It was a long week. Duncan Regional needs to think about getting comfie chairs in the room especially during the night hours for moma's like me who stayed the nights. Yes I know he is old enough to stay by himself but I felt like he needed me with him. He had surgery Tuesday 19th on his finger. He had Mrsa..which is a horrible infection. He was eating away the inside of his finger. He is still weak today but he is so much better than he was.

Yesterday I took Trevor back to OU children's hospital to get his cast removed. He thought was getting it off and was good to go. Well that wasn't the case and he had to get a aircast on for 6 more weeks. That news made the little guy sick all over. Our plans was to go back to school shopping after Dr. visit. He insisted on going home' said he had a bad headache. So he did let me run into Michael's craft store to buy some journal items to use. He didn't even want to stop at Sonic in Oklahoma City before we started the 1 1/2 hour trip back home. That says a lot about how upset he was.

At Michaels craft store I finally broke down and bought my butterfly punch. It was $18.00 and I had been eyeballing it for some time. Last night when I got home I used it to make several punches to use in the new journal I am making for a swap! I ordered a dragonfly punch and hope it arrives soon! I didn't realize how much the punches cost. Although I know they really make cute journal pages and such.

Life is crazy!!

Yesterday I took Aaron to OU Children's Hospital at Oklahoma City. He has infection in his finger. They squeezed some of the infection home and put him on a antibotic and sent us home. He was in pain but they wouldn't give him anything for pain. He did not sleep at all last night. So this morning Grandpa Kendall took him to Duncan Regional Hospital to the ER room. They lanced it open and gave him more antibiotics and pain pills. Finger hurts but he said it wasn't as bad as yesterday. Tomorrow my mom's side of the family is having a small quick get together. This morning my cousin text me and tells me it has been called off. Then at 6pm she text and tells me it is on again. I just tell her I have already made plans. I don't like the whole off then on then off again feeling. Anyways we have to take Aaron back to ER to have the packing removed from his finger. So that will take up some of my day. Work today went well. I was alone for several hours and it was slow. I actually got some projects out of the way. I also worked on swap bot. I have 3 swaps I have to get out in the mail tomorrow morning. We have had 23 straight days of over 100 degrees. Today it said it was 113 degrees. That is just too hot for me! I don't do heat real well. It is 9pm and I need to get off here and get some stuff done before I head to bed. Good night everyone!!
