My last day off...

Today is my last day off until possibly spring break! Yesterday, I was in the worst mood like I stated earlier but today I am in a great mood! So I thought I would catch you up on what's been going on. Let me warn you that this post will be random and disconnected... :-)

My first purchase for my house was these towels!! Roger and I were out shopping and I aw the colors and fell in love. I instantly turned to Roger and gave him that "OH! We cannot live without these" look and he grinned and said buy them! They were a great deal!!! It made my day!!


Ahh my dinner for Roger comes next. We had Chicken Coats with Bacon. (Roger picked it out) It was a really easy recipe. You had to butterfly the chicken and stuff it with cream cheese and chives then wrap it in 2 slices of bacon...


It was very tasty but I think that if I made it again I would change the recipe. I loved the cream cheese stuffing but I think that I would have used a rub on the chicken to give it a little more flavor. ( I am slightly terrified of spices...) I also would have used 1/2 of a slice of bacon. It was way to much with 2 slices! Maybe I would even put it on the inside? I don't know but I would change somethings.



Next was the Pasta Carbornara. It was sooo yummy!! I will make this meal 100 times over I am sure! The only thing that I would change is probably the cheese. I used the grated Parmesan cheese and I think that sliced parm. cheese would have been better. It didn't quite melt like I had hoped it would but it was still so good. I even heated it up for 3 other meals and I hate hate hate leftovers!!

Yesterday I was able to organize and file all of my school papers. This includes my taxes from 3 years ago, all of my FASFA paperwork, my health insurance, and student loans! What a project but it is done! I was able to work in my visual journal! I did like 5 pages! Very relaxing. I was able to read through my Bridal Bargain book that Roger and I recently bought. There are some great ideas in this book! This morning, I had the privilege of playing with my cousins. We went outside and played in the snow and then came in and made these adorable snowman!

So my last days off have been relaxing and enjoyable. I hate that I have to go back to school but am thankful for the day that I have right now!! Enjoy your Thursday :-)
