Addicted again....

Once again this summer I am addicted to Fox's So You Think You Can Dance. I am not a big television watcher but man this show has suckered me in every season. For example: tonight was elimination night and I was very happy to see one of the contestants leave.

I should not be so into a television show! It is t.v.! I think though it has to do with my love for dancing. I never took much dance when I was younger. I am not sure why, maybe because I quit gymnastics and dance was expensive. I don't know why but I didn't take it so I am not very good but I LOVE to dance.

I have pondered the idea of taking some classes now that I can pay for them myself but have yet to actually act upon the thought. For now I will just keep watching the amazing dancers on So You Think You Can Dance which will now have a fall show whoo hoo!

Until next time....

Kamikaze squirrels, allergy shots and pregancy tests.

I meant to write last night but ended up spending time with Sexy Husband which is a much better alternative. So I am combining today and yesterday's post into one.

Kamikaze Squirrel

As a prelude I must mention I had a wreck a couple weeks ago, rear-ending someone and doing damage to my car. It is fixed now but I am still somewhat skittish. I am not a morning person and probably truly should not be operating heavy machinery (car) before....noon. Needless to say though I have to get to work somehow so I drive.

Yesterday I had just pulled out of my driveway and had not gone but two house lengths down the road when BAM! something hit my car. I slam on the breaks as I try to get my heart to start again, and figure out what I hit! There was nothing around, no cars, no kids, no cats, no dogs, nothing!

I hit Wonder Woman's jet!

Not really.

After a second or two, I realized the sound had come from above my head. I looked out the mirrors and saw a squirrel bouncing away from the car. WHAT?!? I was cannon-balled by a kamikaze squirrel! The little furry rodent gave me a heart attack! Would have been cooler to hit Wonder Woman's jet.


Allergy shots and pregnancy tests.

I am going to begin taking allergy shots tomorrow. I am really hoping they will work because as I like to joke I am "allergic to life". My allergies have increased since moving to the great AL so I am taking three different meds just to be able to breathe.

In a precautionary step I had to take a pregnancy test this morning to make sure that birth control had worked this month. It was an interesting mix of emotions to take that test this morning. As I have said in past posts, I have the baby itch though I know the timing is not right. I am keeping myself super busy so I can ignore the feeling but the underlying itch is still there.

So taking a pregnancy test this morning had me on a roller coaster. As I sat and watched for the stupid pink line(s) I was torn between this:

Side No Baby

• the timing is not right
• you are on birth control, have been for over a year and no mistakes yet so why now
• your husband is not ready for a baby
• your finances are not ready for a baby
• ecetera, ecetera, ecetera!

Side Yes Baby

• I want a baby!

Alas it was negative so I will have to wait (which is a good thing, at least that is what I will keep telling myself) and I start the shots tomorrow!

On a side note pregnancy tests are expensive! Sheesh children are expensive before you even know if you are having one or not!

Until next time...

How to make easy, yummy chicken parmesean

Well first I guess I must correct my title because technically I will use colby and jack cheese so it is more like chicken colby and jack. :)

Being a visual person myself I have made sure to have nice picture aids. So let us begin.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

You will need some chicken breasts.

Then you need one beaten egg and some bread crumbs in two separate bowls.

Dip the chicken into the egg making sure to coat it well.


Then dip the egg covered chicken into the bread crumbs, coating liberally.


Place the coated chicken breasts into a 9x13 pan.
Bake for twenty minutes.


While the chicken is baking for 20 minutes,
take any type pasta you like


and prepare according to package instructions


When the 20 minutes is done, take the chicken out
and spoon spaghetti sauce all over it
top the sauce with a lot of cheese

Place back into the oven for 10 more minutes
or until chicken is no longer pink.

Last but not least, pile some pasta on your plate,
place a nice, juicy piece of chicken on top
and spoon some sauce on it all and enjoy!

Yum!

Until next time.....

Arbor Day Early

We have been oh so slowly doing things to make our yard look better. It had been neglected for a while before we bought the house so it is slow progress. We had a jungle back on the back fence that we have finally cleared and made look much better.

For our first year anniversary, I took Sexy Husband to Lowe's and walked him into the garden section. Bringing him to the trees, I pointed to them and said "Pick one and we will pardon future paper." This was one of my "presents" for the "paper" anniversary.

We did not have a vehicle that could carry the tree at that time so we had to just discuss which one we wanted. We finally agreed on a blossoming pink cherry. We finally got them and today we planted them having our arbor day early.

Here are pictures:

Here is tree #1


Here is tree #2


Here they are between their big brothers:


Until next time....

Happy Fourth of July

The want to blog....and actually doing it.

I remember a time when I blogged pretty much every day.

I want so badly to get back to that point but no matter how many times lately I tell myself "Ok starting today we blog everyday", it has yet to happen.

It is not that I don't have anything to write about because I do. It is just I am a slacker and don't do it.

Like I did not post about Sexy Husband's birthday party:

It was tiki themed and super fun....



And I had a super cute outfit....


Then I could have blogged about us going to the beach:

We went with two other couples. I had a super cute bathing suit (and that means something if I feel cute in a bathing suit!)




But I have been a slacker. I will try to get better. I will take one day at a time.

Until next time....

Aunt Imp Again....

One bit of news I haven't shared yet is that I am going to be an aunt...again. If you are an old timer to this blog you will well know Mr. Nephew and Beautiful Boy. They are great delights in my life and I have had many a post about them.

Well number three is on the way and last Thursday we found out the sex.....

To follow tradition on this blog the new little girl must be given a nickname for the blog as like her brother's before her. The boys had nicknamed her Penguin before they knew the sex so I think it only appropriate her nickname on here be:


Yes. Princess Penguin it shall be even with possible death threats from the Sis-in-Law. I find the nickname perfect and in the words of Charlton Heston "So it is written, so it shall be done!"

Disclaimer: If upon birth she turns out to actually be a "he" the name will thus be changed to Prince Penguin.

Until next time...
