Keeping it short and sweet this week. I blabbed a lot on Monday! haha I did everything I set out to do this week and more. Keep your fingers crossed for T&T - we'll find out Monday or Tuesday if he gets to keep his job and move home in the next month, which would be the biggest blessing ever. I'll update as soon as I know anything... Have a good weekend!
Oh, and look at my counter, I've had over 1,000 visitors! Sweeet!
From Friday Fill-in.
1. There is absolutely NO way you can get me to eat celery!
2. The smell of freshly mowed grass reminds me that summer is almost here!
3. I cannot live without my coffee and Triscuits .
4. Knitting and cycling are two things I'd like to try.
5. When life hands you lemons make a lemon drop.
6. Traveling one entire summer break with my dad and two brothers is my favorite childhood memory.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching Lost tonight while waiting on Todd to get home. Tomorrow my plans include hosting a big poker party and Sunday, I want to relax, relax, relax!

neglected bloggity blog
It's that time of year where every weekend fills up... And almost every week night too. And then I forget about TTEAL. So, what have I been up to you ask? I've been to a double-header baseball game, the lake to see my Mama, watched every show saved on the DVR, played soccer (injured at that), made the best waffles ever, and got tons of laundry done - all in 3 days. This week is just beginning too. Tonight I have another soccer game, tomorrow I have bunco, Wednesday is blank right now, Thursday I have a graduation to attend, Friday is blank, and Saturday I'm throwing a bday/poker party for one of the Roomies. I think I thrive on this stuff though. I'd be a very bored and lonely lady if I didn't have things to do.
Speaking of things, kind of... Okay, so no one warned me about the wedding nightmares. We're down to 5 months and 13 days. Yikes! Last night I dreamt that T decided the day before the wedding he didn't want to get married. And on top of that the rental place kept screwing things up, annnnnnnd he found a cute little blonde twit that he wanted to date. It was one of those awful dreams that I couldn't get out of either, like you wake up and go right back into it. Those suck something bad. And then they really ruin your day once you remember everything. I've got my catering taken care of, invitations are here and perfect, my dress should be in this week, and I just have to find a DJ that I like. I'm on the ball and feel really good about everything. It's just crazy how things are flying by but I'm really glad we didn't do this any faster because I wouldn't make it to the altar, they'd be checking me into the mental ward for obsessiveness.
I cooked a little this weekend and I realized how much I miss making dinner and baking. I really only get to cook the good stuff when The Roomies are gone. I don't like being in someone else's kitchen, ya know?
Everytime Toddles and I eat waffles I have to order a side of sausage, I have a bite of sausage with each bite of waffle. So I keep saying that I'm going to make my own waffles and put sausage in them. Oh. My. God. They were just as delightful as I expected. I browned some breakfast sausage and crumbled it up into small pieces. Then I added it to plain old Bisquick made for waffles and poured into the new waffle iron I went to 3 stores to find. I ended up eating 3* of them because they were so tasty. Shortly after that, I went into a hypoglycemic coma because of all the syrup. Totally worth it.
*3 little square Eggo sized waffles, not giant round ones, thanks Mike.
I also made pizza this weekend. I bought the dough because dough is a pain in the arse to make without my bread machine. I used Gorgonzola, roma tomatoes, and Kalamata olives. It was good, a little salty for me. I think I'll add some spinach to it tonight when I reheat it.
I almost forgot it was Menu Plan Monday... Ch-ch-check it out.
Breakfast: whole wheat English muffin and a poached egg.
Lunch: either leftovers or a spicy black bean patty and a frozen steamed veg pack.
Snack: Kashi bar or apple
Dinner
Monday: leftover pizza
Tuesday: bunco night - cheesy olive bread (thanks P Dub!)
Wednesday: spicy turkey empanadas
Thursday: pinto and cheddar patties, salad
Friday: whole grain penne with ground turkey and marinara
Saturday: snacky stuff - it's poker night
Sunday: lasagna - I've been craving it for 3 weeks and I want to make it for the fam

lazy blogger/friday fun #23
Actually, not lazy - I've been really busy at work and since I don't have a home pc just yet I haven't been able to update.
Spent last weekend in the Lou with my honey, 4 of his fraternity brothers, and their wives. We went to the Cards game Friday night and had a good time. We got tipsy during the 2 hour rain delay so T and I went for a walk around the Arch and to the car for warm clothes. Somewhere along the way, I injured my ankle and was hobbling even after consuming more alcohol than I should have. When we woke on Saturday, it was bruised and swollen so that put a kink in our weekend. We ended up driving 2 hours to stay at one of the brother's house. We ate and drank and played games, it was a really great time. Sunday we drove back to the Lou and spent the day together before my flight home. Which, by the way, cost less than it would have for me to have driven there. Hmpf.
We had great food that entire weekend and I think I gained the 5 lbs back that I had just lost. Friday we had bar food and beer before and after the game. Saturday we had Joanie's - our fav pizza place in Downtown St. Louis. That night our friends grilled steak, and we had baked potatoes, a beautiful salad, mushroom and sour cream crepes, and a few other yummy things I can't think of. Sunday we woke up to a breakfast of mushroom and red pepper quiche, rum cake, fruit trifle, and oj. I seriously did not want to come home...
When I did get home and settled, I wound up getting an x-ray of my ankle because the pain isn't getting better with ice and elevation. There's no fractures but Dr. Bossman seems to think that I've pulled a tendon or ligament and that it could take 8-12 weeks to heal. There goes the wedding diet and soccer for awhile. So, that's what I've been up to...
How about some Friday Fun? Let's Feast...

Appetizer
What was your favorite cartoon when you were a child? I loved the Smurfs and the Jetsons.
Soup
Pretend you are about to get a new pet. Which animal would you pick, and what would you name it? The only pet I can imagine having is a fish or a kitty and I can never name a pet until I get him/her home and see what fits.
Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy getting all dressed up for a special occasion? I love, love, love getting dressed up so that's definitely a 10!
Main Course
What kind of music do you listen to while you drive? Something I can sing along with...
Dessert
When was the last time you bought a clock? And in which room did you put it? I bought an alarm clock and put it in my bedroom.
