Where The Wild Things Are

Here we go again! Nothing too crazy on the schedule for this week, unless you count my baby turning 9!!! I just can’t believe it! How on earth can she be 9?! She is literally counting the days until her birthday. We’re not doing too much until Saturday when she’s going on a big shopping trip (she decided that she would rather go shopping than do something like bowling with friends). We’ll do her birthday dinner then too. Right now she’s still saying she wants to go to Golden Corral, but I might convince her to switch yet

No new pictures for the last 2 days. I stole the batteries out of my camera to put in the Wiimote in a fit of Tetris induced craziness and just haven’t managed to replace them yet. With Lauren being sick for the last 5 days, I haven’t really felt like taking them anyway! I did try a new recipe though. I made some sort of cauliflower pasta stuff that we saw on Rachael Ray. Joe was really into it, so I gave it a shot. I give it a “meh” at best. It was okay, but had very little flavor. If I try it again (I doubt it, but you never know!) Joe wants me to add some sausage to it. I think it needs more garlic and onion and certainly something more salty (possibly some more cheese? better cheese?) I definitely want to make that beef stew again. I keep thinking about it. Yum! I think it would be a great thing for me to make to eat for lunch all week. The enchiladas I made weren’t great either but I think they have potential. I found a 3 Cheese Garlic Pasta recipe that sounds good and I still need to drum up some bread machine recipe to try.

Joe made it home from Virginia with no issue. Work is really rough for him right now…this may be a good time for me to start working on that prayer warrior thing! He’s working so hard to keep a good attitude. I so admire him for that. Hopefully, things will calm down for him and he can enjoy the job again!
