Yummy in my Tummy

April 4, 2012 Leave a Comment

 

The Sarge and I have gotten out of the habit of cooking at home. We go back and forth with this bad habit. It’s hard to break! Today we decided to make a menu and go grocery shopping. We stopped at Wendy’s to grab a snack (I know, I know. Not helping!) before we headed to the store. It’s never good to go to the store while you’re hungry!

While we were eating our snack we quickly decided on a menu for the rest of the week. Here’s what we came up with.

  • Dinner tonight: pizza from Walmart
  • Lunch Thursday: sandwiches (or leftover pizza)
  • Dinner Thursday: hamburgers, roasted potatoes, broccoli for The Sarge and zucchini for me.
  • Lunch Friday: BLTs and chips & salsa
  • Dinner Friday: whatever I want since The Sarge is working that night
  • Lunch Saturday: Chicken salad sandwiches
  • Dinner Saturday: Chicken pot pie.

I’m hoping we can go to see my family on Sunday since it’s Easter. Unfortunately The Sarge is scheduled to work at his part time job that day, since it’s a busy day for them. We’re both hoping someone will work for him. We’re also supposed to celebrate my birthday with my family on Sunday. We didn’t really get to this past Sunday (my birthday) because my dad went into the hospital. He’s home now so we’re hoping to actually be able to spend time together as a family! And hopefully my mom will make pot roast!

What yumminess are you eating this week?

It’s My Birthday!!

April 1, 2012 5 Comments

 

Today I am the Birthday Princess! Oh yeah! I’m turning 27 today. Well, at 9:25 pm I will be 27. It’s still hard to believe!

Unfortunately I’m still fighting this cold/strep throat. I’m getting better but it’s still irritating to be under the weather on your birthday! Oh well. Story of my life.

The Sarge gave me an early gift a couple of weeks ago. It’s a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1! Love it!! It’s so similar to my phone that it’s super easy to use. It’s awesome. He also gave me a gift right after midnight last night. (officially my birthday!) It was a Miranda Lambert cd. He has some more stuff but I have to wait til later to get them! I’m ok with that. We are going to hang out with my family today so I’m excited! I miss them! Let the birthday celebration commence!

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In #55

August 26, 2011 Leave a Comment

Great news! My dad is home from the hospital! Just in time for his BIRTHDAY! 50 years old today! Happy Birthday Daddy!!

 

Short and sweet today. Gotta go see my Daddy!

 

1. The first thing I think of when I get up in the morning is what time is it?…Gotta pee.

 

2. Lately, I’ve been craving  sweet potatoes  because they’re really yummy!.

 

3. Whenever anyone says the word sprinkler, it reminds me of my childhood because my sister and I would play in the sprinkler at my grandparent’s house while they would watch.

 

4. The happiest word I know is  love, but I think it is overused (just like the word hate) and underappreciated.

 

5. My spouse may hate it, but I absolutely love talking about future kids and planning for things that may or may not happen.

It’s My Birfday!!

April 1, 2011 7 Comments

I love celebrating my birthday! Even though I’m getting older, I cherish each year. This birthday is bittersweet for me, since my husband is still deployed (but coming home SOON!) and because my sweet Grandma is not doing well at all. Thankfully my sister and our best friend Cara are here to help cheer me up! Last night we spent time making dinner, with our new pampered chef stuff! Then we watched a movie. Today we are going shopping, maybe letterboxing, and going to see a movie. I’m excited! Here’s some pics from last night.

My sister gave me a $25 gift card for my Fave place! Starbucks! YUM!

I got money from my grandparents, my aunt and her roommate. The stack of $1′s is from my Aunt. LOL!

And today I got some beautiful flowers from my deployment support group! These girls are amazing! I love them so much!!! (I’ll post pics tonight. I’m about to go shopping!) So far it’s been a great day. Especially since I got to talk to my sweetheart for a couple of hours, online AND he called me! Oh how I love that man!

Starbucks Cake Pops

March 29, 2011 4 Comments

On Monday, I left my best friend’s house. Sad. I stopped at Starbucks to get my morning jolt and some nourishment. Yummy! As I was sitting in the drive thru line, I glanced at the menu. That hardly ever happens since I always order the same thing. A Venti mocha with non-fat milk and no whip. Yum.

So back to the menu. I glanced over and saw something new. “Cake Pops” The perfect amount of yummy sweetness. Easy to eat on the go. I loved the idea! And since my birthday is coming up soon, I decided to get one for myself. They have a “birthday cake” pop, but I went with the tiramisu. OH MY YUM!! It was so good. And it even came in it’s own little box! How cute is that.

Birthday Celebration

April 3, 2010 3 Comments

My birthday was so much fun! Even though I was cleaning most of the day with my friend again, it was an AWESOME day! This is what I woke up to:

I was SO excited! I got exactly what I wanted! My Army teddy bear, “Love Happens” on dvd, and my Chocolate Extreme Blizzard cake from Dairy Queen:

Not to mention the fact that my husband COOKED DINNER FOR ME!! He made this AMAZING chicken, his famous made from SCRATCH mashed potatoes, broccoli and cheese, and croissant rolls. YUM! He is SO good!

He also gave me 3 seasons of Gilmore Girls on DVD, and my FAVORITE movie “My Fair Lady” on DVD! YAY!!!

My sissy came up to see me for my birthday! She gave me a cute stuffed frog that “Ribbits” and an adorable purple clutch wallet. She loves me! :)

After we ate dinner and cake, we played “Apples to Apples” which is my favorite game. OMG! If you haven’t played it, you must go buy it NOW! It’s freakin awesome! After that, we were just having fun and goofing around. My sister then tortured my husband:

It was GREAT fun! Here is my sister and my friend DiAnna, who has been helping me clean and pack:

So, my birthday was awesome. Probably one of the best! I am so blessed!

Letterboxing & A Civil War Battlefield

March 29, 2010 1 Comment

Ft Donelson National Battlefield

Saturday my hubby and I decided to go letterboxing. We went to Dover TN which is where Fort Donelson National Battlefield is. We have both been there before but it had been several years. I wanted to get a National Park Passport so I could get it stamped at the battlefield. My parents bought one for my sister and I when we were younger and we went on a lot of road trips, but we lost it when we moved. So hubby and I bought another one. We got it stamped at the battlefield. We found one letterbox at the battlefield. Then we went to look for another one but it wasn’t there. We went to the Fort Donelson National Cemetery, which is part of the historical tour.

Ft Donelson Canons

After that we headed to Land Between The Lakes. (LBL) Hubby had gotten clues for several letterboxes at LBL. We stopped at the South Welcome Center in LBL and got our passport stamped. The guy that worked there was very nice and helpful! He headed us in the right direction. We got to the point where we were supposed to start looking for the first one at LBL. I stayed in the van because my hips have been bothering me and there was a hike to get to the letterbox. But we didn’t know it would take an HOUR! I was getting worried because there isn’t good cell phone service, but he eventually came back! LOL! Then we went to the next starting point and it had a hike too. So I waited again. He called me and told me he had taken the wrong trail! So he took over an hour on that one but didn’t find the letterbox.

All in all, the day was awesome. We had a picnic lunch, visited some really cool places, and got to spend quality time together! Here are some more pictures I took.

Hubby lookin cool!

Eagle's Nest. (Look close! There's a bald eagle!)

Small cemetery in LBL

Saturday was awesome! But then Sunday morning hit. I got sick at my stomach at 3am. NOT COOL! First time in a long time. My throat is still sore! I can hardly talk. But my amazing hubby has been taking care of me. He is so good! Thankfully I was just sick the one time. I’ve been taking it easy on my stomach though.

On a lighter note, Thursday is my BIRTHDAY!!! YAY! I am so excited! I’m hoping my sister will drive up to our apartment for dinner, but I’m not sure if she will or not. My friend DiAnna, who has been helping me clean and pack, will be here! And I’m sure hubby has something planned. But he won’t tell me ANYTHING! (I’m ok with that!)

That’s all for now. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
