Meet my Meez!

Hello Spring!

Spring is beginning to sprung...so to speak! The Bradford Pear trees are starting with their pretty white blooms. Ah my allergies have gotten a little spike as well. That's ok though, 'cause this too will pass. My church's Easter Egg Hunt is this Saturday!
HPC EASTER EGG-STRAVAGANZA! - This Saturday, March 22nd, 1-3pm - For kids of all ages. There will be thousands of eggs, an obstacle course, castle bounce, train ride, face painting, egg decorating and more!!! Tell your friends & family . . . don't miss out on this awesome event!
Ok, so now I told you! Scott and I will be doing the HPC Cappa-Latte Cafe so you gotta go! www.highlandparkchurch.org for directions and info. Check it out if you are looking for a church! I highly recommend it! We drive 52 miles round trip to go there, so how's that for a "testimony". Others drive just as far or even further as well. I guess that is it for now...

really too tired to blog

zzzzzzzzzzz....huh? ok....worked the Kid's Consignment Sale at church today. Ran all over creation getting a new table and chairs. Ate Chili's again! Oh my... I love that bacon, and hey the order was correct. I have a bone to pick about their booths though...not everyone is thin! Know what I mean?! grrr... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....ok I need to sleep! Tomorrow I am 41! Yikes! I really need my rest!
::EDIT::
My footies are sore... waaaah :-|

Chili's review and a good Tuesday

sort of a review...maybe a complaint about the attention to detail when dining out or getting take out. I ordered a Jalapeno Smokehouse Bacon Big Mouth Burger..I got some other burger...they brought the correct burger and it looked as if they threw it together in a hurry. What's the problem, they were not swamped with business. It's like no one cares about quality. That's a word I appreciate, "quality". It's lacking in about all industries and walks of life. Enough of that.

Had a great day with R'Lena and Bella. Bella talked and talked, well in baby language that is. She is quite the orator! I see a very talkative little girl emerging from this little baby. Spent the afternoon over their house until Scott came to get me. Had a relaxing time. On the way home we stopped at the new Colonial Town Center near our house. It's really going to be great! Super Target has it's soft opening tomorrow. And the thing that brings me great joy...a PetsMart!!!! We went in to get storage bins for the dog food and make a grooming appointment for my two shih-tzu's. I don't have to hear them cry all the way to Murfreesboro anymore!!! Yessss! Well kudos to PetsMart...when we were picking out the bins one of them was missing the 2 cup scoop it's supposed to come with, so the nice associate gave is 15% off with out us even asking. Now that is "quality" service.

Ok, I am tired and have a big day tomorrow..goodnight!

It's wet outside

But no more damage to the house! I am going to lunch with my best friend and her baby today. Then back to her house to play with the baby. :-)
I am in a huge purging mood today! I just want to get rid of all useless crap! I think it's my anal-retentive obsessive compulsive nature rearing it's ugly head.
Anyone else ever purge? The only thing that makes me feel bad is the money spent on the items.
oh well off to the shower!

A beautiful thing...

Weather

Dang wind is kicking up today! A piece of aluminum flew off the house from the "Ray's Yard" side of the house. I wonder what else will fly off! It's going to be even worse later!

::UPDATE::
2 more pieces flew off in the yard. Storms are a coming.

mmm mmm Red Beans and Rice Monday

oh yeah babe...got this recipe from www.nolacuisine.com

http://www.nolacuisine.com/2005/09/19/red-beans-rice-recipe/

and it rocks! I doubled the recipe to ensure lots of leftovers for the week. It smells so good! I just mushed up some of the beans in it to make it creamy. Oh my gosh! We don't have french bread! I must call for back up! Scott to the rescue!

Well beware of my house for the next few days because as the old rhyme goes...beans beans good for your heart...you fill in the rest! LOL!

::UPDATE::
oh man was it good! we got some full bellies now!

Is this gross or what

A truly mediocre dining experience

For lunch today, my sweetie and I decided to go to Famous Dave's since we have not been there in a while. Let me start off to say they have the best Bread Pudding dessert on this planet. There were a lot of short comings today though. We went about 3pm, which is a prime time to go without crowds, you know in between lunch and dinner. First there was a wait even though it was not crowded. Then when we were brought to our table they gave us a cruddy aisle table where people had to squeeze past us to get down the aisle. We asked for a booth and were moved. I ordered a cup of chili which was pretty good, but why oh why does anyone think that one package of saltines would suffice? I guess I am high maintenance in that area. I ordered a early-bird combo platter (it has less meat that the other version). I got the wrong side which was rectified. The corn muffin was burnt and the corn on the cob smelled like pee. Weird. I would not suggest the garlic mashed potatoes. They were sub par and I truly believe a 5 year old with an Easy Bake oven could make better. I suspect they are boxed or something, they seemed "institutional". So, it will probably be a long time before I eat there again. Unless I have a bread pudding emergency that we can get take out! LOL! As far as ribs go, Chili's and Logan's have better. I do remember about 5 years ago when we first had Famous Dave's, it was very good. I think they are lacking now. Do they need Gordon Ramsey to go crack the whip? Maybe not a bad idea!

Gee another project...

...to start and forget about a week later. I hope to be able to stick to it though. We shall see. If I make a one year anniversary then look out your windows because the pigs are flying!
