Breakfast in bed

My wonderful husband made me breakfast in bed this morning. It was only after I suggested it however. I had yummy french toast with fresh strawberries. However we were almost out of syrup so it was a little dry. Not his fault though.

Today my wonderful dog is 9 years old. We've had her since she was like 4 months old and she is defintely my baby. Last night I made her some doggie icecream and I'm waiting for it to thaw a little so it'll slide out of the cup. She's sooo spoiled.

Doggie Ice Cream Recipe (idk where I originally got it)
32 ounces vanilla yogurt
1 mashed banana
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
Blend all together in food processor or blender and freeze in either 3 ounce paper cups or ice cube trays

This new job...

This new job is kicking my butt. I'd gotten use to being off for 6 weeks and for the 4 months before that I was working half days. Now 9 hours a day is killing me. I am suppose to be done by 12 or 1 on Friday's, but tomorrow isn't looking like that is going to happen. The outgoing nanny made it sound like they told her I was going to be working until 5 on Friday's too....she gets off at noon. I mean the overtime is nice to have, but I need to get to the bank and grocery store tomorrow. Last night I went to bed at 9pm and it is looking like that will happen again tonight.

We are going camping this weekend. I have no urge to go because it is suppose to rain and be 90 degrees. Brent refuses to wait until next weekend when it is suppose to be cooler. We are going to Carolina Beach which should be nice, but ughhhhhhhh hot and sticky.

I won!

The contest that I blogged about! Of course I don't have a little one yet, but hopefully next year. This is the one we want: http://www.cafepress.com/konite.233923030 . Dh and I are both Irish and he is very "into" it.

In other news....I start my new nanny job on Monday. It's Saturday night and I'm a basket case. I know I'll be fine, I just hope I'm not horribly unhappy. I haven't worked fulltime since the beginning of March and I'm spoiled now.

I also see that I have 2 new blog followers haha! Maybe I'm not writing this in vain. Now if only my family would start reading it!

I wish I had followers and Recipe

I wish I had some more followers for my blog haha. Although writing sometimes helps me think things out...I see that everyone else has like 50+ followers and I have 3. I don't want to go beg people to read my blog however and I know it isn't very exciting.

This is what we had for dinner last night. I don't remember who I got the original recipe from. I also added some fire grilled green chilis to it and used brown rice instead of white.


Mexican Chicken
1 can Mexican style Rotel
chicken breasts or strips ( I only use boneless, skinless)
White rice
Shredded Cheese ( I use colby jack)
Butter
Put butter, chicken, & mexican rotel in a skillet. Cook, covered, over med heat, until done.
Cook rice according to package.
When everything is done layer rice, cheese, then chicken with rotel tomatoes & peppers.

An Awesome Contest

Nope not I, but I did find an awesome blogger that has a contest for some cute baby things. Check out her blog http://konite-empire.blogspot.com/ . Not that I have a baby yet, but I hope to have one in the next year to 18 months. Plus I always need baby gifts!!

I suck at blogging

However I was at my sisters house this past week so that is part of the excuse. I had a nice visit...I adore my neice and nephew. I made it home about an hour and a half late. After we boarded the plane 30 minutes late because they were "checking some things." Then we sat on the runway for over an hour...first we were waiting in queue because so many planes were back up. Then we had to wait for a giant thunderstorm to hit. We had a bumpy and somewhat scary take off, but all was well after that. I was due in Raleigh at 8:04 and go in at 9:25.

Brent and I are addicted to monopoly. We play every night and twice on the weekends. We have to see who can beat who the worst. Although he gets frustrated and says he isn't going to play anymore if I win a couple in a row. Big Baby!

Thursday I'm starting Zumba again. I joined a couple zumba meetup groups. They are rather expensive though. The one on Thursday is 8.00/class. So If I go twice a week that will be $64/month. I paid $30 to go in Kentucky twice a week and that was at the YMCA. I wasn't a member there. We defintely can't afford that each month.

I know I should be doing something productive

but I'm not....I'm sitting in front of the computer watching reruns of Spin City haha. In my defense I did get up this AM and go to walmart. I replaced the cats flea collars, walked the dog, changed the burnt out light bulb, ate lunch, started packing for the weekend trip and my trip next week, changed the litter box, and put the dishes in the dishwasher. It sounds like much more than it is. We are leaving tomorrow evening for Charleston SC for Brent's birthday. Tomorrow AM I'm baking him a birthday cake because I'll be gone next week. His actual birthday is Sunday. He has decided that he is working from home the whole day tomorrow so...he'll know about the cake when he smells it baking..unfortunately because I wanted it to be a surprise. Monday I'm flying to Philadelphia. I'm hoping for a smooth trip and no delays at the airports. It's a non stop flight which is awesome, and unheard of when I lived in WV. Now I'm going to go....ummm IDK maybe find a gift bag for Brents' birthday gifts...
