HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

This is my Valentine's dream.....

Happy New Year!!!

I hope we all have a wonderfully blessed and Happy New Year!!!

For me, this year is going to be about getting healthy, both inside and out.  I'm looking forward to new adventures and meeting new friends along the way.   I don't want to say I have made resolutions for the new year---but I have set GOALS for the year.  And I'm going to reach them and become the person I know I can be...

I wish all of you much love, peace and happiness in this 2013.

Merry Christmas Friends!!!!

Remember the reason for this day...  Enjoy your families and friends..

Happy Christmas Eve......

Wow, can ya'll believe Christmas is almost over with??  Where did this year go?  I finally finished all my shopping on Saturday and can you believe I did not have to go to Hoover or the Galleria at all this year!  Avoiding that traffic truly made my Christmas!  Tonight we are going over to my brother's to celebrate our family Christmas.  I think my parents will be so surprised with the gift that we got them this year.  I'll tell ya'll about it later in the week...   I have to bring a veggie dish, and thanks to Pinterest, I found one I think everyone will enjoy... It's Jalapeno Creamed Corn from the Blog Her site.  I may have to use a little less jalapeno's since my niece's don't really do spicy...  But I still think it will be tasty...  The recipe is also super easy....

 
Ingredients:

1 Stick (1/2 cup) of butter, room temperature
8 oz. of cream cheese, room temperature
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese
3 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced (or more if you like some heat).
3 cans (11 oz. each) of white shoepeg corn, drained

Mix all ingredients together in a 13x9 pan.  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Stir before serving...

Simple and looks tasty!!


Now after a fun filled night with my parents and my brother's family, I'm going to come home and watch my all time favorite Christmas movie...   Can ya'll guess what it is???

Merry Christmas friends...  We are all truly blessed....

TGIF!!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!  Let the last minute shopping begin!!!

Black Friday!!!

I purposely make sure I work this day just about every year!  Saves me a fortune and my sanity from all the craziness...  I remember driving by Best Buy last year when I got off and their were people sleeping in tents to get certain items.  And the crazy thing is these stores are only given like 5 of the item!  Craziness!!!
Well if you are venturing out today---have fun and mind your southern manners!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family and friends that I'm so thankful for..  I will be spending the day with my work family---but they are loved just as much too!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Please be safe tonight while driving and look out for the little trick or treater's!!!

It's a Surprise!!!

We are going!!!  Thanks to my  sweet coworker, Jerome for swapping with me... Mac and I now  have a date December 12 with an Orchestra!!  Mac has been several times with his dad..  Now it's my turn...  I'm so excited!!

Christmas Crafts.....

It's getting closer...  I think one of my Facebook friends posted the other day, only 14 weeks until Christmas.  Can you believe that..  As of today, 95 days until Christmas..  And with the find of Pinterest this year--I have craft ideas for days!!!
One really cute find is with clear ornament balls and acrylic paint.  All you do is drop the colors you want to use into the top of the ornament. Then shake it or let it sit and drain to the desired effect you want.  How simple is that!!  Hobby Lobby and Home Accents already have Christmas stuff out so I'm sure you can find all you need as far as ornaments.  Then Walmart for the paint.  See SIMPLE!!!

How pretty is that!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

I hope all the dad's out there have a WONDERFUL day!!  I love you dad and thanks for EVERYTHING you do for me!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

Love you Mom!!!
