Wish me luck, and thanks Alicia!

Housewarming Party - ahem... 2 weeks late.

Sorry for the delay. I haven't gotten around to downloading the pictures. Yeah, all 3 of them. In order to become a better blogger, i need to remember to take pictures, and to learn how to take better ones as well.

Anywho, the housewarming party was great! Thanks to everyone that was able to make it. It was nice to share with friends and family. It was a fun night. There was music, BBQ, beer, sangria, and fun! We borrowed my mother-in-law's backyard furniture and set it up around the pool, which was perfect! Plenty of drinking and smoking(for Brian and friends - they all smoke like chimenies)space! We got some great gifts too. A very cute Peir One wall candle holder from my best friend Dayna, a Home Depot gift card, oil diffuser, and cute little "Home Sweet Home" picture from my mom, and some yummy smelly Jelly Belly candles for me & a sweet poker set for Brian from his boss Darryl and wife Brenda. Thanks everyone!

Here are my 3 crappy pictures...

For Jen

Here's a picture of the front of the house!

we will be painting the outside when it cools off. Then in the spring we'll plant flowers in the flower bed. we're also going to remove that big bush, and flatten out the rocks and remove the cacti.

Weekend Update

I'm going to attempt to do this every weekend. Even though I still haven't talked about our housewarming party that happened LAST weekend, yet. I will will get to that. Need to upload the 3 whole pictures that I took of the night. I need to get better about taking pictures. Sorry!

Anyway, my weekend starts Friday. Friday I got up and went to Tae Kwon Do, as I do every Friday. Then I came home, and relaxed a bit. Played on the computer, worked on my business a bit, and cleaned the kitchen. Hubs left work a little early to go to the lake with some co-workers for wake boarding. That was fine, because I had plans to go out with my friends as well.

Friday night I went with my friends Melissa and Jenna to see the band Tiger Army play! They were amazing, and we had a lot of fun. I ran into one of my best friends who apparently didn't get my voicemail earlier that I was going to the show, so that was cool.





Saturday, Brian and I slept in, and went to the bank to open a CD, then went to lunch, came home, and vegged out and watched TV. A very lazy day. Then we went to watch Travis and Sam's band Reason Unknown play. They were good, but i felt like i was 16. They played at some random warehouse where they have bands play for teenagers to watch. Let me tell you, that we won't go do that again. After they played, we went and hung out at Sam & Jenna's for a bit. A very chill night.

Now it's Sunday and I'm back at work. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Oooooh! Cutems!

I came across this website called girlprops.com on the Frugal Fashionista blog. Some uber cute (that's right, I said uber) stuff!

Cute anchor necklace


Fun Tattoo band-aids


A girl loves her sunglasses. I know I do!



They had some odd stuff too... Like this humping pig pin. I thought it was funny though.



Not only is this stuff cute, it's super cheap as well. Super. Super duper. I like saying that right now.

Tag! You're it!

I've been tagged again! This time by my good friend Lisa . I'm horrible at this type of stuff. I really suck with talking about myself like this. It's my most dreaded question in interviews, "tell me about yourself." I don't know why, I just hate it! This literally took me all day to come up with six things, so here we go!

Okay so here are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules to your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them
5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is post

Here are my 6 random things:

1. I don't have a favorite color. Really, I like them all! Well, except yellow and orange.

2. I was home-birthed. Yep. All 4 of us. My mom is crazy. At home, in bed, no doctors, just a midwife, no epidural. Crazy woman!

3.I love to cook. Baking is a different story. I hate to follow recipes, and to measure stuff. Cooking is better.

4. I want a puppy. Real bad. Gizzy needs a sibling. Brian promised (pinky swore) he will get me one for our anniversary. He better!

5. I love popping zits. I know, that's gross, but I love it. I will sit on the bathroom counter and squeeze every single pore.

6. I do not have a gallbladder. I had it removed when I was 13 years old due to gall stones.

Recipe: Low Calorie Banana Muffins

I made this recipe from Spark Recipes just now:

Ingredients
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup mashed bananas
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract



Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease muffin tin or use paper muffin liners.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat banana, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir in applesauce.
Stir in flour mixture.
Pour batter into muffin cups. About 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean.
If you use paper liners, the muffins stick to the paper until they have set awhile.

I made a few changes.... I used all whole wheat flower instead of 3/4 white and 1/4 wheat, and I added walnuts. So the nutrition info may differ with my changes.

I'm eating them now, and they're okay. Kind of dry... But now that I look at the recipe again, I just realized that i forgot applesauce. That explains why they taste off. Damnit!

Sorry no picture. Don't know where the camera ran off to.
