What city are you?

I saw this on my friend E's blog. I had to see what I was? The funny thing is I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Las Vegas. I just talked to my cousin yesterday about going when we graduate. I hardly drink and have never gambled....so...maybe this is not so true!!!!!

You Are Las Vegas

Wild and uninhibited, you enjoy all of life's vices.You're a total hedonist, especially with sex, gambling, and drinking.You shine brightly every night, but you do the ultimate walk of shame each morning. Famous Las Vegas residents: Wayne Newton, Howard Hughes, Penn & Teller, Siegfried & Roy

SCREWED by the MAN

So as I have recently posted I am going back to school. I was awarded a scholarship for a lot of my school. Since we are pretty much a single income(the reserves money is a joke). I applied for financial aid. They said that I we made too much last year. YES, last year we probably did....BUT that is not our current situation. I only make at best a 1,000 a month. Let's just say that I am 26 and my parents have to help pay my bills. BUT... the good ol federal government still thinks that an income of 13,000 is TOO MUCH MONEY!!! They said that if I were single OR had kids then I would qualify. WHAT????? I cannot even afford school. How the heck do you think I could pay for a baby? PLUS......we are NOT READY to be parents.UUUHHHHH
So basically if I were a single mom with 3 kids living on "the system" you would give me money. What is wrong with the system? We need money too! Yes Joe get a G.I Bill...but there is not any money out there for me. .There needs to be money available TO ANYONE who wants to further their education.

Just getting out some frustration!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL????

FOOTBALL season is here!!! Yeah!! It's pretty exciting living in a football town. Everything in this town is orange and black(not my colors of choice) but it still is cool to see. The Colts are playing the Giants tonight. Joe and I cannot wait to watch the game. Why? Because Payton Manning is the quarterback for the Colts( GO COLTS!!) and Eli Manning(his little brother) is the quarterback for the Giants. It should be a good game! Joe is having some buddies over and I am making homemade chili. I can't wait and I am so excited that it's football season!!!!!

Had a bad day....

OK ,so I had a bad day and really do not even want to talk about it.....but my dad did send me this site today which was perfct after my day!!

Recipe # 2

Ok so my plan to do this once a week was ruined when I started school!!! Finally I have a minute to think about another one.

Jalapeno stuffed peppers

Ingredients:
Whole Jalapenos
Bacon
Cream cheese
Block of cheddar cheese
Toothpicks

First step is to cut the top around the stem off of the jalapeno. Then carefully clean out as many of the seeds as you can. A small knife if you have one, or even running some water in there will help to flush them out.
Next step is to stuff softened cream cheese OR cheddar cheese inside the jalapeno. You can place the top back on the Jalapeno if you would like. It kinda helps to hold the cheese in.
Next take a strip of bacon and wrap it around the Jalapeno. Use the tooth picks to hold the bacon in place. It usually takes 2 toothpicks.
Finally either grill them for about 30 minutes on the grill(medium heat) or bake them in the oven at about 350 for about 15 minutes.

Don't forget to remind your guests or family to remove the toothpicks before eating!

Enjoy!

Bye bye Mr. Crocodile man

So I was actually quite sad on Monday to hear of Steve Irwins death. I always loved to watch his shows and he always had such great compassion when he talked. It also made me think. What am I that compassionate about? Is there anything(other than my family) that I would be so compassionate about...even if it killed me? I cannot think of anything. I had this discussion yesterday with my husband. He said he did not know of anything either.
I wonder if God has a special place in his heart for Steve? He loved all of God's creatures and loved teaching about them.
I will definitely be thinking about his wife Terry and their two children. Such a sad but strange freak accident.

Labor Day

So since I had the day off I did something that I have been meaning to do since I moved in. Paint and decorate my master bathroom. We have 2 full baths in the house so I am the only one that uses this bathroom. Joe and guests use the other one. I decided in between my 8 loads of laundry I had to do today that I would work on this as well. (Did she just say 8 loads of laundry??? YES....I HATE laundry!)
So the first is a before picture. I got the ladder in there and then decided I wanted to take a picture. Notice in the first picture the HORRIBLE 70's style counter top.
The second picture is the finished product. Notice anything different? I covered the counter top in contact paper. I KNOW I KNOW some reading this might think how ghetto....BUT when your house is decorated in a style that is before you were born...ANYTHING(even contact paper) is an improvement!:0) Heidi if you read this...remember when you pic your countertops and such"Will I like this in 10 years"?!

Well it's off to bed for me.....worked too hard today.

Have a great week to all!!!!
