Something New week 17

April 22-28

Tonight, I used a recipe that I first ate at a Pampered Chef party. I think I was in middle school (Mom? Remember? It was at that doctor's house).

I made TACO RING!!! Never had it!? Here's the link to the recipe. I was reminded of this recipe on Pinterest.

Here's the Pinterest picture.

Here's mine... just no toppings in the middle.
We  put them on top once we cut it.

I've really been slacking on my blogging. I'm still missing a few weeks. I'll do better!! 

Something New week 14

April 1-7

I've been wanting a new bed for a while. My bed is a hand-me-down and full sized. My feet hang off the end.  I have been in the working world long enough. I deserve an adult sized bed. I can afford an adult sized bed.

Queen Size

Thank you, ROSS Stores! $30 for CK mattress pad!

3 sets of sheets (also from ROSS)

My new bed... I need some decorative pillows!

Something New week 11

March 11-17

This week marks the beginning of MARCH MADNESS! I normally join a bracket group on Facebook, but this year I got to join a new bracket... with Kyle, his sister, Laura, and brother-in-law, Bob. With the added "family" pressure, I was nervous creating my bracket. I usually pick teams based on their name (i.e. Gonzaga).  I needed to be more technical in my choices this year. I wanted to WIN!

Even though my Tarheels lost the ACC tournament, I HAD to have them win the whole kit and caboodle - they are my boys. Unfortunately, our team suffered some injuries... and you know what happened...

It was fun... watching the games with Kyle, sending trash talk texts to Laura and Bob, hanging up on Kyle when he called during overtime...

I lost... 

GREAT JOB, LAURA! When are we taking you to dinner??
