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.

Okay, so my breakfast and lunch is really boring because I eat pretty much the same thing every week. I'm not sick of it yet so I'll keep eating it...

I usually pick two of these: steamed veggie pack in/on whole grain pita or flatbread, cottage cheese, apple, or hummus and carrots, grilled chicken and salad, or leftovers.

Dinner
Monday: macadamia-crusted mahi-mahi tacos with lime aioli, and sweet potatoes.
Tuesday: grilled chicken caesar salad
