Things that have made me laugh today

I love a good laugh and I would like to share some with you now!!



At first glance - hilarious!! First of all, the girl on the right doesn't look like a badass...she knows that in 15 years this photo will be on a site like awkward family photo and she is already hearing the jokes being made. But take another look:

What is Dad doing here? Is he trying to get his muscles (or lack there of) to pop out or is he giving his wife a hint?!

 

If my parents told me that this is what we were doing for our Christmas card - I'd lose it! But I'd want to be the Christmas tree! Sweet shoes!

I had to look at this twice at this - He is holding his shoes!!

Not sure if you guys have seen damnyouautocorrect.com but it is hilarious!

And last but certainly not least:

Things I love

Life in general is a bit boring. Maybe my life at times can be a bit boring. I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older. Maybe it's because I don't like to drink as much. Well what if it's because I don't have as much money to be able to do the things to keep me busy but whatever it is...I find ways to have fun and keep me busy.

•  Pinterest - this website is amazing! I highly recommend it to anyone that likes EVERYTHING! I have found recipes that I have tried, DYI crafts that I have tried, holiday ideas that I cannot wait to try next year and so much more. If you aren't into the whole craft/cooking thing, they have professional photographs and tutorials, pictures of pets, humor and more. The only thing is you can't just sign up. You need an invite from someone who already has it. (Let me know if you want one and I'll send it your way!!) 
• Tumblr - yes it is kind of like blogspot but a bit different. It has quicker blogs but you can put anything on there: videos, to GIFs, to crafts. I don't post on there that much but it is a great website to check out different things that are in the news and such. You do not need an invite but you do need to sign up to be able to look at most things. My favorites are: losingweightinthecity (she used to be over weight and now she is running marathons - she is very positive and a great influence to someone who is trying to lose weight.) marthasworstnightmare (very crafty and about good food.) theclearlydope (they are hilarious! they put up a lot of videos about news or random videos from youtube)
• Youtube - yes, I know you have heard of it. but I love the fact that I can put in "laughing baby" and have TONS of videos for hours. 
• facebook - again, I'm sure you know about it. It has its ups and downs. Yes, I love to reconnect with old friends and it is great to see family you can't see all the time but I hate the way it changes all the time. Why can't they leave it the way it is and let us "play". Some of the time the change isn't bad but once you get used to one way - it changes! It's hard to keep up

I also like to do my crafts - when I'm in the mood but I have occasionally started a project and not finished. It is either I don't like the way it looks or I get bored of it. :) So then I just start all over again with the websites! 

Other things I love are these little ones! I am introducing my nephew and niece! They were both born last year and growing like weeds. I am so happy they are in my life! 

SCENTSY

Oh yes - how can I forget?

I am now a Scentsy rep. I really enjoy selling a product that is useful, great quality and smells amazing!! Please let me know if you would like to host a party, order product or just want some information. I will randomly post some info about it but I will not over load it! I do not like that so I won't do it to you!!

BUT:

January's scent of the month is "LINGER" It smells amazing. If I was to describe it I would say its a sweet pea with clean sheets. Its really nice. Please let me know if you want a sample of it.

January warmer of the month - for the love in your life

Bad dinner...

I was so excited to make a parmesan crusted chicken. I have had the recipe for a couple of days now and it looks so good! UNFORTUNATELY it did not turn out the way that I wanted.

This is what it is supposed to look like...

The recipe says to water the chicken and take the cracker/cheese mix and get it coated. I did that. Then it says to put it on a pan with olive oil at medium heat. I did that. Then it says to leave the chicken on the pan without turning it for at least 5-7 minutes. I did that. Then why did all of the crackers come off? I flipped it once. Then noticed it was not 100% done so I flipped it 1 more time. Then it all fell off!! What did I do wrong? It was like plain chicken!! It was so frustrating that I stopped cooking. I didn't want anything to do with it! PLEASE - if you know what I did wrong, I want to know!! I really want to do this recipe again but if I cannot get it right, I don't want to waste food again!!

On a good note, I made a wonderful breakfast for Marcus and I today! Simple but very good. Garlic/cheese eggs, sausage, and English muffins.

Today is a very cold day but I really want to take Duncan out and walk around. I don't think we will get this "semi-nice" weather for much longer.

One more thing - a couple of prayers would be nice for my Oma. She is not doing the best right now and is saying she is very tired and ready to go. As a grand daughter - there is nothing I can really do or say to change her mind. She is 90 years old...she has lived an amazing life and has been able to share her life story to anyone that would listen. If it is her time, I hope and pray it is a quick and peaceful death.

Happy New Year!

2012!! WOW! I think every year I say "I can't believe it is another year....it went by so fast." Nothing seems to slow down. As a child I would always think that I would never get to 13...16....18...21. Now I am dreading getting older! Give me a couple of years!!

I really enjoyed my New Years this year. It was just Marcus and I at the house. Very relaxed. I think I had 3 wardrobe changes - ending in my PJs and slippers! No driving and we could drink as much as we wanted. I made some appetizers for us that were pretty good!

Shredded chicken, cream cheese, garlic powder wrapped in a crescent roll. 

Beer battered cheese dip - ranch and peppers

Even though it was just us, I loved being able to do this stuff. And I enjoyed cooking something different.

So for dinner I made steak and asparagus...which is our favorite!! It was very good! 

We did however make it to 12. We might have a had a bit more to drink that we should have but hey, we were home and we didn't go anywhere!! After we made our phone calls, we feel right to sleep! It was such a long night!! :) Again - getting old!! ha

I don't have any resolutions though. I want/need to quit smoking, I want to take the time for writing on here more (not that I have many readers!), I want to do more DIY crafts and take more pictures. But I figured, if I call it a resolution, I don't do it!! So those are things I want for 2012 and I hope I keep all of them! 

Happy New Year! 

Tonight I am irritated

Looking for a job is no easy task. I hate it in fact. Here are my problems:

• I have no education but some college

• I am an Assistant Property Manager - I design newsletters...I post rent...I pay bills...who in the government is going to hire me?

• I want more money. Yes we can survive off of what we are making now but it wouldn't be too bad if I could get a bit more!?

• I DO NOT want to commute to DC. I would shoot myself everyday being stuck in that traffic

• I don't mind starting from the bottom BUT nobody will hire you unless you have experience...hence being an Assistant Property Manager

I'm super frustrated. And it is all my fault. I'm not trying to have a pity party and I'm not trying to say that someone else did this but COME ON! Let me catch a break. I get so jealous of other people who are successful and I'm not. I just want to move somewhere else and start all over. Scratch my entire resume and start again. I can't put on my applications that "I'm willing to learn. No, I don't have experience but teach me!!" I need to get out of what I'm doing now. It's not for me. I don't like it...I need a change. Ugh...I'm over it.

Okay - I'm done!!

Since the last time we talked...things have been a lot better!!

Man what a difference a couple of weeks can do to you! I finally got my stent out and I instantly felt better! Thank goodness too because I had a crazy couple of weeks...

So Tuesday I got my stent out. Mom got here on Thursday (I think) and Friday I had a dinner cruise with my work. We were able to leave work around 3:00 so Marcus met me at my work so we could leave from there. We were heading to a hotel in Maryland because we had a wedding there the night after. Well we left my work and headed over to the bank and to the gas station to fill up. We were literally on the road for 5 minutes and FLAT TIRE!! Oh man it was so aggravating!! Finally Marcus switched the tire so we had to go all the way back to my work to get his car. We transferred the clothes and everything and we were on our way...again!! When we get to the hotel we changed and had to take a TOWN CAR (!!!) provided by the Gaylord to the boat  for our cruise. We had a great time! We danced all night.

Town car!!

The Spirit of Washington

The City Center Crew!

So on Saturday we went to Lauren and Paul's wedding! It was beautiful! Lauren looked stunning.

Doesn't she look great! And Dad is trying to keep it together!

Beautiful cake!!

On Sunday (Oh yea...a weekend of events!) Mom and I went to go visit Heidi and her sister Katy. Katy had a baby recently so it was amazing to meet their new baby girl Lauren. She is precious. Heidi was able to show me a good amount of her wedding plans so it was nice to talk about that and help her with things that I could. It stinks being away from her during this time. I wish I could move to Indy until the wedding just to be another set of hands. I now know what she went through!! After we left Katy's we went to Rich and Jen's house for a BBQ. I was so tired from the weekend of events...once I got home, I crashed!!

This past week/weekend didn't slow down either. I threw a surprise baby shower for Jen and Rich so every week night mom and I were running around trying to get things together. It really turned out great though. I had the best time planning this. Jen's friends and family are great! All of them thanked me so many times and were so sweet.

Baby bottle vases

Oh the food was great! Thanks for helping Mom!

My favorite!! Baby blue punch!!

The rain came (because it was a shower) but someone left their top down!!

The dessert spread!! So much stuff!

I am so glad we have no plans for a couple of weeks! It's time to relax!!!
