Jimmy's Party Pic
Since I was unable to post this last week, here's a nice group pic from Jimmy's party. There were loads more people there, but this is the best of the group pics that I have. As you can tell, we are all in a few beers by this time, LOL. It was definately a good night!
18 and 0!
Wooohooo! We're 18 and 0! I'm so excited that the Pats are in the Superbowl again this year! What a year to be a Beantown sports fan!
We enjoyed hanging out and watching the game on Sunday. Shana and Danny came over and I made some chili and taco pinwheels. Shana made the yummiest potato thingies with boursin cheese. They were so good and seemingly pretty easy to make. I'll have to give them a try.
The rest of the weekend was pretty chill. We went to see a couple of houses on Saturday. They were nice, but I think the bedrooms were made for hobbits - they were soo tiny. Oh well... We enlisted the help of the realtor we met with to help us scope out some other houses. She seems really nice and I think she'll do a great job for us. Michael and I are pretty much done with looking throught the paper and searching online. She already had some houses in mind that will be coming on soon for us to look at. Do I dare say that maybe we'll be in a house of our own by my birthday? Only time will tell...
Michael had to work on Monday so I was able to lounge around for the morning then did my dry cleaning in the afternoon. I used those sheets that you put in the dryer. Those things are great. I did 12 pairs of pants, a skirt, 3 shirts and a bunch of sweaters. I figure I saved over $100 doing it this way rather than taking them to the actual drycleaners. =) It did take a little time. You can do each batch of 4 or 5 things in a 20 minute cycle. Well, since it was soo freezing outside and I had no intention of leaving the house, I was quite content to just run into the kitchen every so often and put the next batch in. I also tackled the mountain of laundry baskets and got all of those clothes put away. I can actually walk on my side of the bed now. Yippee! I think I'm actually FLYing again! Now, let's just get that guest room all finished up...
That's all for now.

It's Thursday!
Yay! It's Thursday and it's almost time to go home! I am very excited to have a long weekend coming up. We were away in NYC last weekend to go to a friend's surprise 40th birthday party. It was a load of fun and we got to see a lot of our friends from the Catskills days. I was going to post a pic, but apparently the site is having an issue so I'll have to do that later.
While we were in the Big Apple, we went to Mike's restaurant on Saturday night. It was soo yummy. I will definately go back next time we're in the city. We finished up the night at Paddy Reilly's for some good ol' diddly diddly music and a few pints.
We came home Sunday early evening and luckily had some time to recover before the work week began. I must say, I am really looking forward to just chilling at home this weekend with no real plans other than watching the Patriots play on Sunday and making a big crockpot full of chili. Yum.
I'm thinking tonight might be a Sonny's night for dinner if Michael isn't working too late. I hope so, I haven't been there in a while on a Thursday.
Anyhoo, I need to pack up here and call it a day. I hope you all have a nice evening! Toodles!

Happy Hump Day!
Hello all!
Last night I spent a little time (maybe a tad more than 15 minutes) in the guest room. My project of the night was to get the TV and surround system re-hooked up. Thankfully this set up was much easier than the living room so I was a happy camper. Sadly, the clicker for that TV seems to have gone missing so I think I'll need to pick up a new one. Luckily I know they have them at Radio Shack.
I think tonight's project will be to swap the furniture so the flow will be better.
So far so good with getting down to business in 2008. I've pulled out my mini control journal and have actually been looking at it. I have a full size binder that lives in the kitchen, but I've found my mini one that I can take with me keeps me on track. It has my home and work routines and it feels so good to be able to cross the tasks off as I've completed them.
I've also been doing well with my other 2008 goals. My sink is staying shiny, I've been blogging more, I'm more focused and not as easily distracted and quitting smoking is going well too! Go me!

Brie and Mushroom Toasts
Michael and I made these yummy bites last night and enjoyed them while we watched tv. Here's the recipe (please note that these amounts are approximations as I just threw this together and didn't really measure):
Brie and Mushroom Toasts
Ten toasts
10 slices of French baguette, sliced thin
10 slices of Brie, cut to fit baguette slices
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup (+/-) sliced mushrooms, chopped
2T butter
1T olive oil
Splash of wine, I used Chardonnay
Salt and pepper to taste
Lightly toast the french bread slices in the oven or toaster oven.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onion in butter and olive oil for a few minutes. Then add chopped mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Saute a few minutes more and then add some wine. Let the alcohol cook off for another few minutes.
To assemble, take a piece of the toasted bread, top it with a slice of Brie and then a spoonful of the mushroom mixture. Place assembled toasts on a baking sheet and place back in oven to melt the cheese - 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!

Weekend Wrap-up
Well, we finally have our new speaker system set up in the living room! We were totally getting beaten up by it on Friday evening and could only get 3 of the 5 speakers working. Grrr...
Anyhoo, we decided to just go up to bed and look at it again with fresh eyes in the morning. Michael was off to work very early Saturday morning so I was left to fend for myself in the sea of cables. After lots of finagling, I was able to get all the speakers working! Yay me! Then, I couldn't get the cable picture to come through so I went to the cable office and traded our cable so that it would be compatible with our new receiver. The picture was still all wacky so after a several calls into tech support, we ended up plugging the cable picture into the tv and the sound into the receiver and voila! We have surrond sound tv and digital picture!
Since this project took the better part of the day on Saturday, the guest room still has not been addressed fully so I don't have any progress pictures for that. I did survey the mess and realized that it's not as much as I thought so maybe I can tackle it the Flylady way of 15 minutes at a time. Maybe this way I can get a lot of it cleaned up before next weekend so I won't have to slave over it and I can enjoy my weekend.
I did get most of my other tasks taken care of so all was not lost for the weekend. Sadly, the Christmas tree is down, but I will be leaving the window candles and wreath up for another couple of weeks. I also shined my kitchen sink and left a nice paste in it this morning so hopefully it will be even shinier when I rinse it off this evening when I get home. I boogied my car to get rid of all of the junk on the passenger floor. I'm going to vaccuum it on my way home tonight so it will look great. I also finally dropped the bag of clothes I have been driving around with for weeks off at the Goodwill bin when we went grocery shopping on Sunday.
We had a nice evening last night watching tv and eating some yummy goodies we made.
That's all for now. I'll post more later.

Get it together in 2008
This year I am determined to get it together. As many of you know, I am a fan of Flylady. I've got the basic routines down but I don't have the whole system running all the time just yet. I know what I need to do so I just need to "get off my frannie" as Flyladay would say, and do it. This year's Flylady slogan is "Do it now! Don't wait! Things get done in 2008!" I am going to do my best to stick with it and have our home be even more of a sanctuary than it already is.
Part of this mission will be to figure out a system for our mail. We get so much junk and it just piles up. I try to recyle/shred it but it's hard to keep up with it all. Any ideas?
I really want to get my weekly routine back in full force so that the house will run itself and I can have more time to enjoy fun things and not feel like I'm spending all my free time cleaning and straightening.
I also want to get my work routine back in line. Though I get everything done, it's not the way I'd like it to be running.
I have been so distracted and a bit of a space shot these last few months that I can't stand it anymore.
I know I can do it, I just need to get moving. OK, enough talk, I am getting moving! =)

Reclaiming the Guest Room
Michael just called and he has to work tomorrow so I guess we'll have a quiet night tonight. He's on his way back from shopping and he was able to get the speakers we wanted for the living room. So movie night it is!
My plan for tomorrow is to once and for all get our guest room back to a guest room. Michael moved our desk to the attic landing and it looks great so now our guest room will only be a guest room! Yay! We're going to set up our old tv in there too with the old dvd player so it will be nice to be able to watch movies in there.
It's such a disaster right now, but I am going to conquer it! LOL. I have an idea of how to rearrange the furniture so I think it will look great when it's finished. I'm also going to hang the curtains I got for that room months ago but I just haven't gotten around to it.
I'll post some pics of before and after tomorrow.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year All!!
I hope you all had a safe and happy night. Michael and I had fun. His cousin and his girlfriend came over and we hung out and toasted with some bubbly. Our neighbors had some people over too so we partied between the houses. We went out for breakfast on New Years Day and it was yummy and a great way to start the new year.
We also chucked the cigarettes. I started on the patch and Michael's taking his Chantix. Hopefully it will stick. So far we are on day 4 of being smoke free. Yay us! Sean came by last night and came in smoking (he didn't realize we quit) and we were like "Get outta here with that!!" So he went outside and put it out and then came back in. We didn't realize what a trigger it would be. I've found that when I'm sitting in the living room and I crave a cigarette, I start a crossword puzzle and the urge passes. I am going to be the queen of crossword words while we go through this - who knew there were so many clues for an asp. Almost every puzzle so far has had a snake in it, LOL.
Oooo, we also got an awesome new stand for our tv. I'm so excited! It makes our living room much bigger. I'll have to take a picture to show you. The ones I have came out pretty blurry.
We'll I'm off to work on a slideshow for the Kodak frame we got for Christmas.

Christmas Tree is Up!
We put up our Christmas tree on Saturday. I am soo happy! We bought a new prelit Christmas tree this year and the lights look so good - way better than if we strung them ourselves. Here's a pic:
We got a new angel too since our star wouldn't stay put on the top. I just love it. I have a couple more things to put out but most of it is finished. Tonight's project will be to put the garland and lights on our banister going upstairs. I got red garland and our banister is white so I'm going for a candy cane look.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all have exciting plans for the weekend. Michael and I are going out to eat with Mum and Dad. It should be fun and no dishes to do! Yippee!
I'm dying to get some Christmas decorations up, but Michael won't have any of it until the calendar says December 1st. I think I'll be able to get away with putting the window candles up this weekend, but the tree will have to wait until next Saturday. We got a new fake tree so we'll be able to enjoy it all month long. I will miss the scent of the pine, but I'm sure the wreaths I'll get will satisfy my urge. And if they don't, there's always pine scented candles. ;=)
Anyhoo, I hope you all have a great Turkey Day and if your celebrations take you away from home, have a safe trip!

Christmas Shopping
I'm so happy. Christmas is 39 days away and I have more than half of my shopping finished! I know what I'm getting for the other folks, I just need to get to the stores and pick it up. Yay me!
Finished Product
I finally sat down the other day and made my no sew blanket. It's chocolate brown on one side and pink on the reverse. It wasn't hard to make and I figured out a couple things to do differentlly when I make another one. All in all, it probably took about an hour to make. What do you think? It's so soft and comfy and big enough that Michael and I can both enjoy it when we're watching TV. =)
I still have a little bit of fleece left over, so if I can figure out how to thread my sewing machine, I may try to make a coordinating pillow. It will be mostly brown with a pink stripe.

Crockpot Beef Stroganoff
I've got another yummy recipe to share. I made this Crockpot Beef Stroganoff last night for Michael and me. The house smelled sooo good when I opened the door when I came in from work. The timing was perfect. It was just about ready to eat when I got home, so I cooked up the egg noodles and all was ready to go when Michael finally beat the traffic monster that he was fighting on his was home.
Crockpot Beef Stroganoff
2 1/2 lb. chuck roast
2 cans Cream of Mushroom soup (I used Campbell's Health Request)
1 packet of dry onion soup mix
1 1/3 cups of water
1 small onion chopped
1 4 oz can of mushroom pieces, drained
Extra Wide egg noodles for serving
1. Place the roast in you CP
2. Mix together the 2 cans of soup, the soup mix and water
3. Place veggies on top of roast
4. Cover roast with soup mixture
5. Cook on low for 8-10 hours (I did mine for 10)
6. Just before serving, stir up the beef in the CP to shred it up and mix in with the gravy.
7. Serve over egg noodle and enjoy!
So far so good with my culinary adventures! This one already has a home in my recipe box. I hope you like it too!

Craft Project
I have a craft project that I am going to start tonight. It is for a no-sew throw blanket. I got some hot pink and brown fleece to make it with. I had to buy a little extra of the brown fleece since it was the end of the bolt, so I think I may make a pillow out of the left overs. I'll post a pic once the project is complete.
Great Weekend!
We had a great weekend. Friday night Michael and I went out to The Stockyard with Eamonn for Michael's belated birthday dinner. It was yummy and we had lots of laughs.
Saturday morning we hopped the bus to Foxwoods with our friends. After a losing morning, things turned around after lunch. I put $20 into a nickle machine and ended up winning $3066!! Can you believe it??!! That is going straight to our vacation fund for a trip in February. We had fun in the evening at the club with the Chinese food spread and duet that was playing - lots of laughs and lots of dancing.
Sunday was a quiet day. We seemingly slept in, but with the time change, I was actually up earlier that I thought. We relaxed most of the day watching TV and then the Pats v. Colts in the late afternoon. Yet again, it is still great to be a Boston sports fan! After the game we enjoyed some Spaghetti and Meatball Stoup. It's a recipe from 30 Minute Meals. You can find the recipe here. I just enjoyed some left overs for lunch. Yummy!

Yummy Dinner
I wanted to share this yummy dinner recipe with you. Last night I made Chicken Divan using this recipe that I found at the Campbell's Kitchen website. It was sooo good. I served it with rice and we loved it. It will definately be a keeper in our house. It only took a few minutes to put together and then I had a chance to relax while it baked in the oven.
The things I did differently were to increase the cheese for the topping to about a cup and I increased the breadcrumb topping significantly as we love our crumbly crusts. I used about 2 T of melted butter and probably 3/4 C of Italian breadcrumbs. I also recommend baking the casserole a bit longer than the recipe calls for. I found that it took closer to 45 minutes to fully cook through.
Give it a try!

BTW - Wish us luck!
Michael and I will be heading down to Foxwoods for the day on Saturday with a friend's yacht club. It should be a fun day. We'll have most of the day at the casino and then head back to the club for Chinese food and a DJ in the evening. We've gone on this trip before and it is always a great time.
Wish us luck that we do well!

Christmas is 54 days away!
I started our Christmas shopping today and already have one person all set, though I will not divulge who it is. I've also been thinking of what my holiday craft project will be as part of my gifts to people. I have a few ideas and I'm sure my family and friends will like them.
I'm also taking suggestions for gifts, so let me know if there's anything you'd like this year and I'll put it on my list of possibilities.

Our Evening
So this year I had way too much candy for the trick or treaters. I bought 5 bags because we ran out so early last year. Well, last night we only had about 15 kids come by so needless to say the last batch got a good helping of candy from our house.
Once we turned off our light, Michael and I settled in to watch 1408 with John Cusac. What a thriller! We really enjoyed it. Lots of twists and turns that I couldn't have predicted. I reccommend it.

My Kitchen
Good Morning!
So, I pulled out some new placemats that my mum got for me and set them out on our kitchen table last night. They go nicely with the French Country-ish feel I have in my kitchen. I think they make my table look really cute. Here are some pics:
Here's a close up of the placemat - it reminds me of some place that might be on the French Riviera:
Well, we ended up staying in last night for my hubby's birthday. He was too pooped from work so we've postponed dinner until Friday night. I don't mind - that way we can extend the
celebration!
So do you have all of your candy for the little goblins tonight? I've got mine all ready. I hope we get to see some cute costumes! Last year we had so many little cuties at our door, I hope it's a repeat this year!
