50th Post!

Wow.. hard to believe, but today is my 50th post! I'm not really sure how I had so much to say..

Well, where has time gone? School started and I'm just super-busy right now. Not that it's my excuse for not blogging.. it's my excuse for no material. Seriously, I used to have thoughts about which crazy thing that happened in my day I would talk about. Now it's more of a... what on earth will I talk about?

Today we headed over to a wine and beer tasting at one of the local liquor stores. It was really fun. The wine was great, the beer was awesome, and the food? Simply divine. We're talking bruschetta and fried ravioli. The ravioli? My personal favorite. Delish.

Since I haven't been home in four weeks, I'm hoping hubby will agree to a night in with a movie or two and one of the bottles of wine we bought. Maybe even two? Bottles of wine, not movies. If you know me in real life, you'll know I fall asleep during movies. I definitely can't manage two movies in one night.

Here's to hoping the next few weeks will provide me with great content for the blog. I'd hate to lose readers (are there any of you out there?) because my life was... gasp!.. boring!

What a day!

Check out what came today from the cuz!

It's totally a "flower" arrangement made out of fruit!
Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

It came at just the right time, too. I was sick yesterday (definitely puked on myself while driving.. but I won't disgust you tonight with the details) and still not 100% today. Plus the kiddos are starting to show their true colors, while I want to bang my head on my desk.

The upside? I have LOTS of fresh fruit to eat and it's totally cute. I may have already had like seven skewers. I might have to think about always putting my fruit on a skewer..

Yummy

Possible cure for grouchiness? Trader Joe's Salsa Tortilla Chips. They are a mix of Dorito's and chips 'n salsa. A delicious mix at that!

I'm not cured from my grump stage, but a phone call from a friend from college, the chips, and the phone call saying my glasses and contacts are in, all seem to help.

One thing that doesn't help? All the freakin' money I owe my mother. I hate being in debt to her. I suppose it's better than having to owe the bank because they charge interest. But the thought that I owe her really makes me cringe, probably more than the thought if interest.

Back to eating my weight in Trader Joe's Salsa Tortilla Chips.

Delish.

I had my first taste of the garden today! One cucumber was ready to be picked, so I pulled it and immediately chopped it up to get a taste. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! I was a little nervous, as it was not near as green as the cucumbers I buy at the store, but it tasted just as good. I think it tasted even better because I knew we had worked hard for it!

Today was a pretty blah day. I'm just not quite feeling like myself. I think it has a lot to do with S leaving in a few days. It's been so nice having her around. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do when she's gone! I mean, who else will tag-team the dishes with me? =(

What's for Dinner?

Here's what we're having for dinner tonight...

Check out those shish kabobs!
Yummy! Chicken, green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and pineapple.

Sooooooo simple! Can't wait to fire up the grill. Perhaps I'll post an "after" shot of the kabobs. Can't guarantee I can scoot in there to take the picture before they get eaten! =)
