Daytona & Food coming

2007-02-15T14:23:00.000-05:00

Last day of work before VACATION!!!!

Sunday the 18th
Daytona 500!!! PARTY!!!

I don't know what Daytona means to you but for me it means baking, drinking, and watching the race...and like my dad I usually fall asleep at some point of the race. I think that is the alcohol that does it.

So what am I baking you might ask. Here is the list:
1 - 10 inch chocolate pudding pie with home made whipped cream
1 - lg. chocolate cheese cake
1 - small white russian cheese cake
1 - HUGE amout of hotwings with my sister's recipe for blue cheese dressing

I'm going to cheat a little on the chocolate pudding pie. Of course the pudding gets made from scratch but no graham cracker crust. I already bought the pie crusts not the frozen ones but the nice unrolled from the box type so I can put it in my own pie plate.

NO skimping on the cheese cakes though. I gotta go pick up some Dark Chocolate.

I learned the secrete to crispy hot wings. This is what you do. Bake the wings then deep fry them then toss with Frank's Red Hot. You can bake them a full day before serving just as long as you fry them at the last moment. Because we are traveling I will not be frying them.

Wednesday
My little brother comes to visit. Hip hip horray.
I bet you can guess what I am doing all day Friday, Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday....
House cleaning oh god!!!

Update

2007-02-11T14:11:00.000-05:00

I just let a bunch of family know about this blog. So I guess I should up date it.

Nick - My littlest brother...in age not in height!!! Is coming to visit me. I can't wait. I think one day we will go with a friend of mine and her son out to Dadd's. Dadd's is an indoor entertainment place, they have go-karts, mini golf, laser tag, batting cages and more. I have been saving all my checks from my very part-time job so I can feed him...oh yeah he is 15. My grocery bill for one day will equal what hubby and I eat in a week I think.

Hubby and I are doing great as usual. Looks like he is going to make a swift for me to bring to the girls at Sn'B see if they would like to buy them.

Work - Ummm...I can't wait for vacation!!! I have been the acting supervisor since Nov 9th (my birthday) Well, when I go on vacation a new guy will take over. Hip hip horay!! It isn't that I wouldn't love to have the position but I think I would be better suited somewhere else or with a whole new staff.

I am still working with all that yarn Pa (my grandfather on my father's side ah to heck with it my dad's dad) gave me. I have donated about 4 or 5 very small baby blankets to the preemie ward at the hospital and one pair of booties. Other ladies from my Sn'B group have helped out with hats and booties too.

Mom- I am kinda still working on your afghan. I am just not impressed with it and might change the pattern. You'll have it in the summer or next X-mas. (knowing me)

I was working on a pair of socks for my girlfriend Eileen...I had her try one on...oops way too small. I have to start over on those.

I hope I don't miss any thing. Maybe if I write more I will fill in some blanks. Go ahead and ask me questions in the comment section. I'll get them addressed in the next post.

so what is going on

2007-01-12T12:50:00.000-05:00

Let's see.

Home:
I went to my parents for Christmas. My mom got me tons of stuff for knitting. Needles, stitch holders, those little things that go on the end of your needles so you don't poke any one's eye out, and some pattern books, and much much more. I think she had a little bit of a hard time cause I told her no cloths. She loves to buy me cloths and she does a really excellent job doing it too. Just I am still in the process of losing weight and buying me cloths would be a little stupid right now. So I put in the request and she obied by it. But I still think it was realloy hard for her cause she did get me a $50 gift card for Fashion Bug. I think I'll spend it on little undies. Just kidding, mom will get the joke.

When I was there at Christmas learned how to knit my grandfather saw me and asked if I wanted the rest of my grandmother yarn. I said yes. I don't know how great of an idea it was it filled up the whole 8' bed of my truck. Oh my my all the yarn. I am having so much fun with it though. I have given away the stuff that I know I would have no use for. Jenn at Sn'B loved what she got. She said some of it was from the 70's and she has been having trouble trying to match what she already had. Maybe she will post a comment as to what it was again that I gave her.

Hubby and I are don't great as normal. Couldn't ask for a better man. We have been trying to get through "The Shield" we are going to start season 4 tonight. We watched 5 episodes last night.

I had to go to the doctors yesterday. I brought me there, sat with me in the waiting room and stayed with me the whole time. How sweet.

Work:
Well I was promoted to acting supervisor NOV 9th. It was supposed to be for 30 days. Ummm...I am going to interview for the position I've been doing on the 16th. If my math serves me correctly that is a little more than 30 days. If I don't get it I just don't know what I would do.

Nov 1st...Nothing

2006-11-02T12:46:00.000-05:00

No dreams last night.
Did fall asleep with a picture of 5 people holding onto this high bar...kinda like in the olympics about 20 feet off the ground and they were all slipping.

Oct 31st Working, racing, and the rollercoaster

2006-11-01T11:29:00.000-05:00

First Dream
I was in Farmington ME (were I used to live with my ex-husband). I was working there/camping there...I needed to be at work in Kennebunk ME (were grew-up and my parents still live) This is a 4 hour drive. (Actually is a 2hour drive. It is however a 4 hour drive from where I live now in CT.) Well I was runing out of time some very nice coworkers of mine were nice enough to pack all my stuff up for me and put it in the back of the truck. (without a cap...my truck has a cap now.)

That is when I had a flashback not all my stuff was tied down...which had cause a major car wreck on my drive to Farmington the last time. Which then wound up not being a flashback but yet a current event...for some reason got on the highway driving backwards so as stuff came flying out of the back of truck I watched as Tracker trailer trucks started jack knifing to avoid stuff that he could of very easily just ran over like...teddy bears and cloths...

Second Dream
I was in Dover DE the races (hubby and I go twice a year every year). The race had just ended and we were headed back to our friends van. We had camped and all the camping stuff was still all out but for some reason we all piled in the van. Our friend started to drive out of the parking lot. Instead of taking a right to head north on Route 13 we took a left. (Route 13 is a major road). The road for some reason narrowed down to one lane going deep into the mountains. (Delaware doesn't have mountains.) Then we drove into a cave. A cave sponsored by DuPont. It was a ride kinda like when you drove into a car wash...The van magical turned into a rollercoaster cart. Then all the other people's cars did the same and they all became attached. The rollercoaster was tour of a gas refinery. We followed pipes in and out of buildings. They had to stop the ride because the guy in front of us was smoking a cigarette. The lady that was narrating the trip said "What are you stupid this is a gas refinery". When the ride was over the rollercoaster turned back into the van and we went back to the race track to finish our camping trip.

Background Info
I took 2 Benydrl before going to bed. I have been battling a cold. And I married today.

The BIG announcement

And I already lost 3lbs.

Everest the Cat AKA our kid

2006-10-01T12:18:00.000-04:00

Goings on....

2006-09-30T16:43:00.000-04:00

I am a hooker....someone who crochets!!! (What dirty thought you had....naught naughty.) I have a few projects in the works. All of them for X-mas. I am in a group called "Stitch n' Bitch New Haven" from my understanding "Stitch n' Bitch" is a nation or world wide thing.

I just started the Slim-Fast 12 week challenge. This is going to different....for someone that enjoys eating as much as I do. It is kinda neat...Slim-Fast is paying for me to do it, well kinda. They paid for me to go get a brand new pair of Levis and all the Slim-Fast products I need for one week. After I have to check in with them once a week....and they refill the little debit card they sent me so I can go but more products...keep it up for 12 weeks and I should lose 20 lbs or better....looking 26 lb lose.

I will probably post the before and after shots....I'll also let you all know what taste good and what doesn't.

The first post....many more to follow???

2006-09-25T23:32:00.000-04:00

I don't know where to start....

Do you know how long it took me to figure out how to name this darn thing....too long.

It is getting late 11:30 and I have to work at my part-time job in the morning. So, this is it for tonight.
