Yes. The answer is yes. I am right. It's never MY fault it's always something/someone else.
Okay, not really. My hunk might think I think that way, but I don't. We got Christmas (boxes) out last weekend and my hunk was going to decorate the outside of the house this weekend, but those darned boxes just stayed in the living room the entire week, like they were part of the furniture. It just seemed cluttered. That plus the giant baskets of laundry I have yet to put away (I know..."just do it already, Christa!" I know!)....well, I did what I'm prone to do best...FREAK OUT...and whenever I FREAK OUT I tend to get grouchy (please don't talk to my hunk, as he will no doubt validate this statement) and procrastinate MAJORLY.
You can't stay annoyed with me after that cuteness.
If you CAN, then you might be missing an essential organ. I don't want to judge, but that mushiness just has to do the trick.

And if a baby doesn't do it for you (really?), then here's Bear. A sweet Boxer who loves the kids and plays with their toys. And by play, I mean chews them up.
So, moving right along - I needed to make dinner Thursday night and did not thaw out any meat, so I tried being creative with some items I already had available that would be quick to heat.
This, along with some corn tortillas and sauce = Chicken Enchiladas...
You just throw it all in the pan
Then add some shredded cheese (or not...but I happen to LOVE cheese)
And there's your filling...I happened to add some cheese inside while making the enchiladas as well.
This could also be taco filling - Add some shredded lettuce and sour cream in a tortilla
Or Casserole components...layer with tortillas top with cheese and crushed tortilla chips
I wrapped them in corn tortillas and made a cheese sauce (fail) to dump over it.
I only took a picture of the butter melting....mmmm...butter.
What is super annoying is that my cheese sauce started out amazing. I nailed the roux, the added milk became creamy and thick...but after I added the cheese it just became grainy. So weird. I make a cheese sauce for Homemade Mac N Cheese and it's done that to me before, but usually I can fix it...this time *annoying buzzer "eehhh" sound* not so much.
I then remembered the reason why I usually buy 2% milk...seriously, you can't make a good cheese/cream sauce with anything less...and the fattier it is the better. "Why not just add cream or half and half to it?" Well...unfortunately I keep forgetting to buy something like that to be frozen for such a time as this (got that lovely idea off of PINTEREST!). Like I said...*sob* fail.
But I dumped the sauce all over the top of it anyways...I mean, I made it already. Sure it was a little grainy, but the taste was pretty good (you could always buy a sauce - cheese, red, green, whatever) along with some more cheese and popped it in the oven.
That's when I got a phone call from my hunk-a-hunk-a-burnin'-love...he was going to be playing basketball with some other guys at the church. ...Well, I just covered that baby and placed it in the fridge for the next day! YAY, no cooking on Friday night...and Saturday night (might have made a little more than needed.) Leah even ate it - I fed it to her, but she didn't give me the normal "Don't want it."
She found a pair of sunglasses in my room that actually belonged to Anthony, so we found hers so she'd look cuter. The other ones just looked kind of silly.
But then again, his cuteness can over come ANY obstacle.
Sorry to stay away for so long.
I just want to say something. If you are reading this and keep wondering where I'm going with this blog, please don't over strain your thinking muscles. It is quite simple, really. I just want an outlet. We are all unique and different in everything we do. No one person is better and there is no "right way" (welll....most of the time.)
My basis for this blog: We are all just living our lives day-to-day. There are obstacles we face (laundry *guilt*) and there are small accomplishments we make...well, maybe not this week. I'm not super funny (that would be another fellow blogger and friend Jena), I'm not super creative...okay, I'm just not creative...at all (that would be my sister-in-law), and I'm not a great cook (have you seen my blog?)...
I'm just average. I'm just like you...well...give or take. Okay, mostly just take, but I can only do what we all do: try.
And hopefully improve, especially in the one area that is most important. That is why I always end with a verse.
<And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15>
