Pinterest Addiction and Tested Links
Have I mentioned that I am in love with Pinterest? In the last 6 months I have had the urge to become more crafty and domestic and Pinterest has only fueled the fire. Most people just pin things and I am not sure they follow through or not, but I tried a few things already.
Check them out...
"Let's Talk Laundry"
Our DIY Diaries was featured on Pinterest and showed how to make a cheap, long lasting laundry soap. I jumped in and signed up for $28 of "supplies" for several months instead of $15 for 3 weeks.
Let me say, I LOVE THIS. I have not stopped doing laundry all weekend. You use so little of the product and get great results.
"Jelly Roll 1,600 Quilt"
Beaconsfield Quilters Guild helped me out when I needed guidance from afar on my quilt.
As you know I am a new quilter with the need of lots of help, but have completed the project and ready to start on a new one!
"Crockpot BBQ Chicken"
Stick A Fork In It has several recipes that I want to try. But I went for this recipe within 24 hours of seeing it on Pinterest. I made this for a crowd of 12 people and just hoped we wouldn't have to run out and get food from a restaurant. I was NOT disappointed.
THIS IS THE BEST CHICKEN!!! I have made this about 4 times in the last month. All using different BBQ sauces (whatever is on sale works in our house). Fire up the crock and make this NOW.
"Seared Scallops"
SkinnyTaste.com is another site that I have several recipes I would like to try.
I made these scallops for Troy one night. I don't remember now, but I was trying to wiggle out of the doghouse. It worked. Troy has asked when am I going to get in the doghouse again to make these.
"Angel Chicken- slow cooker"
Cleverly Inspired posted this recipe. I think it is aptly named. Eating this chicken was like hearing Angels sing all day and through the meal! We have since made this recipe with shrimp (the cook time was like nothing, but delicious!).
Wonder what's next?? Well I have a list of things to do, cant wait to share (promise to have my own photos too!). If I could figure out how to put the Pinterest button on the blog I would, but follow me here.

Date Night
Date Night? Really? Another blog about a date night? Well this is short sweet and a bit different.
Our history: Troy and I dated many years ago, but I broke his heart and we moved on. Only to move back to each other 6 years later. Ok enough of the sappy! When we dated the first go round, we would snuggle in on my little bitty couch and watch what Troy calls "girly tv" (it was a 17" screen, whats wrong with that???). I remember the night we made popcorn for dinner and some chocolate pie and popped Beauty and The Beast into the VHS machine (no high def, no DVD, no surround sound and no flat screens).
I HATE going to the movies and encourage Troy to go on his days off to see what he wants. Troy and I have been married almost two years and this will have been the 2nd movie we have gone to see together. I don't like that my bathroom isn't around the corner, I don't like that I cant pause the movie to talk and I don't like that there are other people around me doing things that I want to be nosy and see/hear.
So we decided with 20 minutes til show time that we were going to hop on over and watch Beauty and The Beast in 3D. Just as sappy, sweet and lovey as we remembered.
Here are a few photo souvenirs from tonight.
Oh did I tell you that we were the only ones in the theater?!!? How romantic (puke!)

February Photo A Day Challenge
I have been following this blog for about a week or so, Nose In A Book. What caught my
eye on her blog were all the fun and funky photos. Then I saw that she was
doing a "random" Photo A Day. I was disappointed that I had missed
most of January but sooo excited when she posted that she is going to do it in February.
Well, I am such a copy cat, I asked if I could play along. I am a few days behind but will catch up in the next post or two. So keep checking her blog out to see what she is posting each day and lets have some fun!!

Fill in the Blank Friday
1. If money wasn't an issue, the
first thing I'd cross of my life list is purchase a new house with more space with lots of
storage and room to spread out. Seems like the house just keeps getting smaller
and smaller.
2. Miracle Whip and Queso on a hot dog
is something I like that other people think is weird.
3. If my life were a movie right
now, the title would be "Sleepless
in Houston and ready to Work"
4. Three things I am looking forward
to this month are my
new job starting next week, the surprise that I know will pull out of his hat
for Valentines and making minor changes to our office and bedroom.
5. My favorite song to sing in the
shower is Purple
Rain by Prince or Fat Bottom Girls by Queen.
6. If I found out that the
production of Frozen
Chicken Potstickers was ending this month, I'd go out
and buy as much as I could tomorrow.
7. One thing I'll never grow tired
of is looking
forward to those nights that Troy and I can just snuggle in. Our time together
is so weird with his work hours and my upcoming hours.... come home honey ;-)
.
