For ever since I remembered I always joked that I couldn't cook- I even said I thought I could burn water- but the reality was I hadn't really ever tried to cook very much of anything! When I got ready to go away to school I had to learn this sort of thing fairly fast! I have to say though I have never starved , and I actually can pick up on things pretty easily- I don't do grilling and I would love to be able to make actual breaded fried chicken but.. I've done pretty OK for myself :) I don't care what people say about me- if it can go in a pressure cooker or slow cooker I can make it work. Another joke with me is everyone says "if it starts with a can of cream of_____ soup she can make it!" I can get a little more involved than that if I want. I know that when we were moving here I had this super heavy tub and my dad asked what was in it and I told him cookbooks and he laughed and laughed at me and I was like OK really? ;) What shocked me most of all was whenI was first with … [Read more...]

Wine & Coffee Fuel Me
If you know me even barley, or you have read the blog for very long at all you probably know that I am a huge fan of wine! I think it is even in some of my social media bios- something along the lines of "loves headbands with big flowers and wine.. .because who doesn't love wine! " Wine is just my favorite way, other than lavender tea to kind of relax- well I mean if you pair that in with any combo of a bubble bath/massage and reading or coloring.. it is just super good stuff you know? With me it has just always came into me having a night time /bed time routine and if I can stick to any sort of combo of that I sleep super awesome and it is just good all around. I know that wine just seems to be my best option when it comes to alcohol - and then I can remember when I used to be able to knock out on a wine cooler- we just call those the good old days you know? If I get a low pressure system and some rain and drink some read wine it is like heaven when I sleep! I know that I kind of … [Read more...]
Just don’t leave me alone
You know how I told you all little sheltered 35 year old (almost 36) went to my first legit party the other night? well they gave me this stainless steel thing you could put a can down in for my truly drinks and little slow nichole couldn't figure out that you had to unscrew the lid to get the can in there! I luckily laughed it off and someone helped me with it, and then David kind of took care it for me for the rest of the night! I don't know why in the world I have that little quirk! Maybe we could just chalk it up to I have basic cups and tumblers at home similar to the ones that you would find here: https://www.luxehydration.com/collections/all and nothing "fancy" This is why David should also never leave me alone around people ha ha! Also? every time we go somewhere and someone that is around our age has their own house I get so stinking jealous! I mean we have went the route to try to get a place of our own a few times and even tried to get it where my mom and dad were going … [Read more...]
Crafty: It isn’t Me.. or could it be?
Lately it seems like everyone I know has came up with a Cricut machine ! I Know that after my mom and dads wreck one of their neighbors sister ended up giving an older one to my mom and several of the cartridges to my mom and then my aunt got one of the newer ones for Christmas. I am still over here waiting for one to appear for me, which I don't see happening but if you believe and your heart is pure right? I just think that it is one of the only sort of crafty things other than embroidery that I might be able to get into, but who knows because I don't have either ha ha! I know that Jackie (My Aunt) has been using hers to decorate different things they have gotten from the pallet sales to kind of punch some of the plainer things up a notch.. Honestly, some of the things they have like tumblers and stuff if they could have them done up with the best stainless steel laser marking and still maybe turn some sort of profit, they might want to look into that... but for her intents and … [Read more...]
SEO was something that I have overlooked!
One thing blogging related that I probably should have done better with over the years is search engine optimization- but again I started blogging before it was a word , and then my blog is more just for fun and then other things have came along over the years so .. I really just never got into it! I know that isn't an excuse probably for most people but for me my blog was supposed to be for fun and just more like an online journal and that sort of thing and I never even imagined that I would make money from paid articles or get things to review and even vacations and what not - I mean the first website I had was a fan page for the soap opera Another World and I just thought it was neat as heck you could get a site on a free server and whatever - never even considered having a domain or anything like that! I really don't even know what made me decide to even ever get a domain- I just kind of always had a million different URL's and changed every time I changed my mind! I guess one day … [Read more...]
Laundry: It is a viscous cycle!
I am sitting here doing laundry AGAIN.. I swear I just did colors late on Friday night after we got back from longhorn- because I literally only have one pair of jeans that even half way fit (mostly because it is the south, and it never gets cold and I own a ton of capri's!- but also because my favorite pair has about 3 tiny tears in the back and I am afraid that i'm going to be out somewhere and have an accident of sorts!) Anyways, right now I've got colors in the dryer and I have a big pile of towels in front of me that just came out of the dryer that need to be folded! One thing that is crazy is David's pants are actually from a uniform place and they will actually you know- clean them for him and bring him new ones and all of that sort of thing, but David can't ever seem to remember to take them so I end up doing them as well- but I do like the idea of getting these sorts of things from somewhere that specializes in them such as Guardian Outfitters - You know get exactly what you … [Read more...]
