October 19th Cruisers again and again... Part 2

[jiminyC_fan]

Well, it is almost time for Survivor. Maybe someone on the tv will talk to me. Poor Sandy!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, guess I'll go eat worms.........

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Oh come on, someone rescue me.

A DISer named piratesofthecarolina posted this recipe yesterday and I made it for Chris's birthday dinner last night. It was so good, and very addicting.

Avocado-Feta Salsa

4 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (4-oz) package crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 avocados, chopped
Tortilla chips

Stir together first 7 ingredients. Gently stir in avocado just before serving.

Instead of using Tortilla Chips, I put this "salsa" on top of the chicken that I made, so yummy. Chris ate it as a side salad, he loves feta cheese!!!!!

I made up my own marinade for my chicken that turned out really well with not knowing what I was doing and throwing a bunch of stuff together!!!!! I think he enjoyed his birthday dinner. He got home too late and stuffed himself too much so we didn't get to eat the strawberry shortcake that I made for dessert, but that can be for tonight!!!!!

Barb - I don't know about you, but I am glad that it is my Friday today. I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow (and get my haircut).

My hair has always been very long and straight since at least High School, but tomorrow I plan on doing something different and going with layers and shoulder length hair. I was all gung-ho, but now I am trying to talk myself out of it....but I WILL do it!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Heidi, glad the recipe turned out so well! As far as your hair. Do I really HAVE to go? j/k. What time was it again? What are on our plans for tomorrow? Mine is to sleep in as well. Trying to get caught up after being sick. I lost 1 1/2 pounds but would like to lose more before I weigh in so I might do it tomorrow morning. Would that be ok? I am still a pound something over what I was last week.

Will check back in later. Hopefully, there will be more activity than yesterday. I was lonely!

Oh by the way, anyone want to pay my bills?

 

[Mickey02]

Good Morning!!

Sandy-STOP EATING WORMS, I hear it puts a pound something on you!

Heidi-I bet your hair will look adorable shoulder lengh and in layers. I say you should go for it! You are so cute any hair style would look cute on you.
YEAH!! It's our Friday!!!! I am pretty darn happy. I am going to work out then clean the house, go out to lunch with Tiffany and then she and I have a facial. Yipppeeeeeee!!!

Got some more supplies for the wedding yesterday, I am making the tags for the favors and have half the napkin ring holders to go then I can move on to the center pieces.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Sandy-STOP EATING WORMS, I hear the put about 1 1/2 pounds on you!

That was good. That comment definitely made my morning.

Heidi-I bet your hair will look adorable shoulder lengh and in layers. I say you should go for it! You are so cute any hair style would look cute on you.

Aww, that was sweet of you. Thanks Barb.

This picture is a little fuzzy, but this is how I am going to get it cut. (Keep in mind that my hair right now is well below where my bra strap sits.)

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Barb, that was pretty good. Now I know how I packed on the pounds. Thanks for the advice. Have a good morning!

Soooooo, who is everyone's favorite on American Idol?? I was surprised to see Ace on the bottom three list. Lisa too. I absolutely adore Taylor but have always liked Chris. I predict Chris will win.

Anyone make homemade hot cocoa mix? I am thinking about making some. Any good recipes that you might have? I did a search and found some but would much rather use one that someone else has tried.

Heidi, I think I am going to make snickerdoodles out of the cake mix recipe to test on people this weekend during the big move. If I find time, it would be fun to make another cake recipe cookie too.

 

[Denine]

Poor Sandy. she gained 1-1/2 pounds eating worms!

I would love to go out to lunch and get a facial! Anyone want to adopt me?

I e-mailed my TA about booking the 10-13-07 cruise.

I cleaned more stuff out of the office. The plan is to paint next weekend.

I work tomorrow, then Saturday is our late night out playing cards with friends at their house then Sunday is our neice's birthday party, but at least that isn't until 4PM.

Heidi: I think your ahir would look really cute that way!

Sandy: I have made hot cocoa mix in the past. I will have to look for my recipe. I like my mom's better though, it uses Nestle Quick and powdered milk. I don't remember what else though. Mine uses cocoa, sugar and powdered milk, I think.

Looking into home schooling stuff for Kaleigh. It looks like the one pre-school I was interested in doesn't exist anymore. I wanted a church based pre-school and there is only one around here. The director retired last year, but I thought they found a new one. Jerry looked at their website and pre-school isn't mentioned. There is usually something on their sign about enrollment, but not this year.

I have bread in the bread machine and we are having leftover homemade pizza and a salad for dinner. It wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I had whole wheat dough in the freezer, but it just doesn't taste as good as regular pizza dough, too strong tasting.

Barb: Always busy with your projects! I couldn't find that CD at Target last night, Guess I will have to check out Walmart eventually.

I don't know anything else.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Shoot Denine, your post made me remember that I forgot to look for Barb's CD at Super Target just now. That's my life!! I bought makings for hot choc. It will be the powdered milk, powdered sugar, Nestle's Quick and CoffeeMate. Cross your fingers. It is kind of expensive to make. Why in the world do people make their own?? Better tasting perhaps? I am also going to TRY and make 3 different types of cookies out of cake mixes. I found a terrific website for recipes. I will let you know.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Mmmmmm, Mmmmmmm good. That hot chocolate is wonderful. Now, I need someone to drink it all. Man o' man. It made a ton. Ok Heidi. YOU WILL GET A CONTAINER OF IT. I know that Stacey will want some because we talked about it last week.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I LOVE hot chocolate and snickerdoodles!!!!!! Give me, give me, give me!!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

I am on the phone with Julie right now. Her dad is in the hospital. He is having a hard time breathing and is running a fever. There must be an infection somewhere. They are doing lots of tests. Please send pixie dust and prayers. They all need them right now. Julie will post if she finds some time. Bless her heart. I wish I lived closer. She needs a hug!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Julie, Julie, Julie.....what can I say but I am sorry for what you are going through and I want you to know how much we love you. We are here for you anytime you need us. I wish I could give you a big hug and make your pain and stress go away. For now I hope this will work for a temporary fix I know it is hard but hang in there and prayers and pixie dust is being sent to you and your family

Remember you are a HOTTIE!!!!! (that always cheered me up a little when you told me that!!!)

 

[DudetteTwo]

Been kind of busy with work and today I had a dental cleaning at 9:45 and then lots of shopping.

BARB: I am really jealous. Disney in December! That's my favorite time in Disneyworld.

HEIDI: Sorry the oxyclean didn't work but so glad to hear the stain has lightened.

SANDY: YOU HAVE TO STOP EATING THOSE WORMS!!!!!!

Tomorrow from 1 PM to 6 PM Joyce and I are going to a St. Patrick's Day Party it is given by the Irish Heritage Social Club. It should really be fun! An Irish band is playing & admission includes beer, wine, soft drinks & food (corned beef & cabbage, irish stew, etc.).

Hope you all have a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! Toodles JEANNE

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hi Jeanne, good to hear from you. Sounds like you and Joyce have a fun evening planned for tomorrow. Watch that green beer!

Well, I tried 3 different kinds of cookies. Snickerdoodles turned out fine. Double choc is ok but the lemon well ummm, doesn't seem to be baking right. Oh well, I just waisted a half a day. I really should have been making egg salad for 10 people. My brother is moving over the weekend so I thought I would prepare some food for all of us movers.

Gosh, I have been thinking of Julie since I talked to her and how sad she was. Why don't we all live closer together?

 

[Mickey02]

I live close Sandy and you keep blowing me off when I invite, invite, invite you to things.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

If my life would slow down a bit, Barb, I would be there in a heartbeat!!!! I hope you know that!!!

How embarrassing. I just reread my last post and spelled wasted as waisted. I knew I was tired!!

Barb, where is your mom????? Is everything ok? Or is she just enjoying all this nice weather? I have the windows open airing out the house. I always think of her when it is nice and invision her out in the yard. I heard that we could possibly get a nasty storm late this weekend. It can track two different ways....one we will be fine, the other oh-oh.

I have talked myself into going out to dinner tonight. I have been so busy that I just don't feel like cooking!! Darn.

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Turning the computer off now. May or may not be back on until Monday. Have a busy weekend ahead. Heidi is off tomorrow and I am going with her to get her haircut. But I get Sat morning off to go shopping with Heidi and Stacey for the babies. There is a mothers of multiples sale in Castle Rock that we are going to. I need a another highchair so they BOTH can sit with us. That means I get to see the babies! Then tomorrow night through Sunday we are to help my brother move. Yuck! I hate moving!!!

Happy St Patricks day everyone. Have a great weekend. Love you all.
