Random Happenings

My hubby is normally OK, but the last few days, he has left everyday early from work due to lower back pains. He went to the Ciro doctor. The doctor says its mostly muscular. This is not normal for him. I hope all is well very soon for him. He is too young for back pains.

We visited friends Friday night, & their dog accidentally got Allen on the arm, and back of the leg w/ scratches. So, we bandaged him up and off to work we both went on Sat. When we got off, we ate at Gloria's in Colleyville, then headed off for a fun shopping trip to Best Buy. We bought a new toy. The above image is very similar to what we got. We named our new computer mini me! This is a netbook which is great for us when we travel. We can keep track w/our moneys, if we have to pay a bill online, or blog on this awesome site!

On the way back from Best Buy, we stopped off at CVS to grab more bandages. As we pull out, I say, "look fireworks!" I began to drive towards home, but my curiosity and eyes kept looking towards the fireworks. So, I pull over to one of the spots that DFW airport was going to be located at and we watch together a random show of fireworks.

I slept in Sunday morning, then began my usual cleaning of the bathroom, a couple loads of laundry, and paying bills. In between loads, I noticed how dusty our laundry room was, so I began cleaning the dust in between the dryer/washer, & cleaned off the dust on the lid of the washer. Who knew to clean the inside lid of the washer? Allen comes over to make sure I'm OK, b/c I made quite a racket, and he really is not physically capable of moving the washer/dryer anymore than I did to clean.

I clean up, and off we went, shopping for deli meat, and a few items to finish our at home dinner tonight. I actually helped w/chopping all the veggies, & skewered them, and made our baked potatoes. I also spiced up our chicken breast! "We had a very vegetarian meal." Allen said. We split our one piece of chicken and 1/2 our plate was full of squash, zucchini, red pepper, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms, and our potato! I recommend this meal to anyone, b/c nothing was fried, and no salt! Also, all veggies were almost in their perfect state for our bodies getting all nutrients possible.

Did you have any random things happen to you this weekend?

Summer Food & a Relaxing Night

Bruschetta is our summer dish at this house! This is such an easy add on to a meal, a great afternoon snack or a yummy appetizer. I know there are lots of ways to make it. Here is how we make/eat our bruschetta:

• Fresh bread is a must from the bakery b/c no preservatives


• Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese


• Then put in your oven at 350* for 1-2 minutes


• Take out of oven, to spread your pesto, put a few fresh tomatoes (preferably from your home grown garden), and lay one slice of mozzarella cheese on top.


• Put back in your oven at 350* long enough to melt the cheese


• Apply a few drops of balsamic vinaigrette on top


• Enjoy eating!

SYTYCD comes on in t minutes. I have found my 2 favorites. They are both girls, which I think will be safe tonight. Enjoy your Thursday night. No FC!(You know who you are)

Family Reunion

Hello world from Tyler TX.
We made it through another Family Reunion. Does anyone really have good times at a family reunion?

First rule: AC is a must!
Second rule: AC must be accurately running to handle 40 people.
Third rule: AC has to work!

Can I say more!!

At the moment, the AC is the most important.

We have currently changed 3 rooms in less than 24 hours.
Eaten OK food, except for me. I refuse to eat the BBQ here.


The benefits. We have seen the fun family we want to see, which is now in our room. I've made sure, (w/Allen's help) everyone has their beverage of choice. Mostly beer, and Titos Vodka. Well more people are in our room now, so I'm signing off for now.

We are going swimming now!

Lake Therapy

First of all, this is long overdue! But, I wanted to reminisce being a kid again. I've worked just about every waking moment since the 5th until now. I got one day to enjoy America's Birthday! I was invited to celebrate the 4th at Lake Granbury.
Growing up in Texas and having a family that years ago spent most of their weekends at a lake, I can say I really enjoy it. I have so many 4th of July memories at a lake. We would drive to Lake Arrowhead, stop along the way to grab fireworks, & a watermelon, then arrive just before noon, to have a Sandwich. We would begin watering the field that we would later that evening set of fireworks. My sisters and I could not wait to jump in the lake for a swim. As we got older, then came the sea do's/jet skies. So to sum up last weekend, I really enjoyed 24 hours of no stress of work/bills, and had a blast from the past for me. Thanks to the Greatest Friends & your Family ever!!

This weekend: We are off to a Family Reunion. I'll post to that later.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of our friends. We will met up later to celebrate!
