Alright, so school is over - now I just have... three papers, two finals, and one event to throw. (That should be sung to "The Twelve Days of Christmas," just so you know.) I already handed in my last homework assignment that would be due Monday, so I'm ahead with that.

My day today:
Up
Breakfast
Go to bank to get money - (try to get it in 5s)
Head to BBW (find snowflake wallflower for Jennifer)
Work from 10-1
Do something for 4 hours... not sure, but probably something like this:
Go pick up tickets from Museum of Science
Return corporate card to school
Hang around for a bit, maybe have SJRB meeting? Otherwise, study and read.
Back to Museum of Science
Pass out tickets for first show
Pass out tickets for second show
Go to see second show
Get dinner
Pass out tickets for third show
Go see third show
Head home, avoiding "Honors Study Session" (read: party), at all costs.

You have to add in Term and Exams to get the tune to work right.

Not sure what is on today's list.
I need to get those teacher gifts done and gifts wrapped up that need to be mailed. Still have laundry that needs folding. - You know that Sears commercial where the sales clerk takes the family over the one with the steam wrinkle remover option - yeah, even that wouldn't work on us.

Enjoy your Friday everyone!!

Working today. It's super duper cold. I don't really want to leave the house, but I need money to pay for those Christmas gifts!

Princess's conference went exactly like she said it would. She's a very sweet girl who needs to work on her handwriting. The teacher her and called her a role model. She's always participating and trying her hardest. Said whatever we are doing at home, keep it up. She's a good kid and I feel very very proud

Mr. Kitten Britches seems a bit better. He did eat some tuna this morning (and I haven't seen any returns). He seems a bit lethargic, but he hadn't eaten much at all yesterday, so I suppose that's to be expected.

DH is supposed to take down the tree and some decorations. I'm hoping it will put me in the spirit. If it were up to me, I'd just have a small tabletop tree this year. If any at all.

Z2H, I spent a small fortune at B&BW yesterday. Gotta love their sales! (If you see a snowflake wallflower, will you please pick it up for me and I'll paypal you the money, I can't find that one anywhere!)

I hope everyone has a fantabulous Friday!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Sure thing, Jennifer!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Sure thing, Jennifer!

Let me know if you want me to paypal you first. I can do that. Thank you, my dear!

Friday!

Change of some plans today, as DS is home with the drippy sniffles, and I was awake from 4 a.m. on since the dog kept "needing" to go outside. (But we really think he was chasing some other animal from the yard...)

No dog walking - just fetch indoors
Clean kitchen
Swish and swipe
Finish TP gift card holder - only one more to do! - and try to get them in the mail

Collect more charity thrift shop items - DH is doing a run there tomorrow and we want to fill the minivan - again!

Rebecca - beef cups...please to be sharing...

Well I make 2 different kinds- both are fairly easy:

tonights are Morraccan Beef cups:
I use the recipe for browning the beef from Marakesh(they use it in the Berwat appetizer)-
1 lb ground beef
1 oz coriander
1 oz parsley
1/2 medium diced onion(I use 2 scallions instead)
mix these ingredients and brown beef
then add in :
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon(I use a little more)
pinch ginger
pinch saffron
1 tsp salt
2 eggs(whipped)
1 oz peanut oil (I use whatever cooking oil I have out)

Then I buy the puff pastry cups from the frozen section of the store. I brown them as called for and then add in the filling (hot). After they have the filling I sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon and powdered suger.

BBQ Beef Cups

brown ground beef and onion
add BBQ sauce to coat

grease muffin tins

using canned biscuits flatten and stretch a bit and use them to line muffin cups- then add filling into the center of each cup. (I find that if I don't want to do as much work with the bicuits the grands size works best)

Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes- until biscuits are golden brown

Both are fairly easy- with the Morracan I tend to make up a double or triple recipe and then store it frozen cooked so I can just heat it in the microwave and throw the pastry in the oven for a fast and easy meal. I am out of my frozen stock so I have to make it from scratch which is why I have been putting it off all week.

Jennifer - she said to tell you she got your snowflake Wallflower!

 

[party of 3]

Working today. It's super duper cold. I don't really want to leave the house, but I need money to pay for those Christmas gifts!
i know how you feel!

Princess's conference went exactly like she said it would. She's a very sweet girl who needs to work on her handwriting. The teacher her and called her a role model. She's always participating and trying her hardest. Said whatever we are doing at home, keep it up. She's a good kid and I feel very very proud

good for her! i love that her teacher loves her!


DH is supposed to take down the tree and some decorations. I'm hoping it will put me in the spirit. If it were up to me, I'd just have a small tabletop tree this year. If any at all.
amen! i so don't want to put the tree up!

Z2H, I spent a small fortune at B&BW yesterday. Gotta love their sales! (If you see a snowflake wallflower, will you please pick it up for me and I'll paypal you the money, I can't find that one anywhere!)
!

my B&BW stinks now that they have moved it to another spot in the mall.
which one did you go to?

 

[party of 3]

can i please vent for a minute.........


ok so last saturday i spent all afternoon(while doing laundry) cleaning my scrap area so i can have a spot to wrap. so bubba comes down there and says to himself- how can i mess this clean spot up????!!!!!
yup took out his rescue heroes and made a complete mess down there. so once again i cleaned it all up the other night. ok. i can wrap now.
dh decides to drain the outside faucets and moved everything that i had neatly stacked and nicely put together and flung everything everywhere to get at the pipes to drain them. R.E.A.L.L.Y???????? ugh. i texted him and asked OMG did you do that?? and his reply was simply YUP!
i'm so stinking mad right now i can't stand it!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I suggest your little elves leave both those boys some lumps of coal and a note asking them to be nice to mommy!!!!

I do however feel you pain... DH did that to me last night... and it's staying until tonight and he will clean it as I supervise... I'm sorry, but if I go in your shed and mess it up, you get all hippy skippy on me... it's now time for mommy to go all tinsel on you!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

OMGosh, "go tinsel on you".


I am so sorry Holly. Unfortunately any horizontal surface is fair game at our house. The trick is being the first to use it.
