I have added a video to my blog. We are trying to memorize the books of the Bible and I thought it may be easier if we had a catchy tune to sing them to. Shame on me, I don't know them either. I used to know the Old Testament, but I can't name them all anymore. Good for me, because I'm changing that!
I found a recipe for oven-roasted chicken on Tammy's Recipes blog. IT IS DELICIOUS! And extremely easy!! Usually, when I try a new dish, there's at least 1 family member who doesn't care for it - not this one! I roasted 2 whole chickens for dinner, the only leftovers were a small amount of dark meat, which everyone wanted for lunch today! They've even asked for it again! Definitely a keeper!! You should try it!
You can read about it here. To enter my giveaway, just leave a comment (1 per person please) making sure I can get in touch with you (e-mail or blog address). This giveaway is open to bloggers and non-bloggers alike, but I can only ship to those living in the US. I'll be using this random number generator to select the winner on Friday. Good Luck! :o)
I've made 3 trips to W*algreens to get my free goodies (read the previous post to learn more) - I cannot believe all that I got!! I didn't have ANY trouble using my coupons either, which that part had me nervous because most stores around here won't accept internet coupons. Here's a pic of all I got:
That, my friends, is a LOT of stuff!! Oh, and can you guess how much I spent? I'll tell you - I spent $31.46, but let me show you how much I saved (brace yourself):
Yes, you're seeing things right! I saved $125.55, $134.51, AND $135.96 for a total savings of $396.02 WOOHOO!
This was passed along to me via e-mail. I didn't really get it until I read the bottom, then I lost it! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I can't believe this really happened (ok, yes I can).
This is how I imagine the conversation went:
Store Employee: "Hello, dis (Store Name), how can I hep you?"
Customer: "I would like to order a cake for a going away party."
Store Employee: "What you want on the cake?"
Customer: "Let it say, 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'"
Now, go back up and look at the picture again. This is hilarious!
It is 9am and I have dinner ready to go! Ryan is over there now chopping things for the macaroni salad! This has been getting harder and harder to do since I've returned to work. We'd get up, do school, fix lunch, then I'd take my shower, and once that was done, I'd trip all over myself trying to get dinner to a point where Jim could finish it up when he got home. I know I keep rambling on about this. I've even been running out of time for me to eat. There's even been a time or two that we had to stop school early because it was time for Jim to come home for lunch. Any suggestions on what I could do to make things run more smoothly? I'd really appreciate them. Here's what I've already thought about:
Get up earlier - UGH, I'm not sleeping as it is.
Tell Jim not to come home for lunch - we have leftovers for lunch, so it's cheaper for him to come here than eat out every day.
Have Jim do more of the dinner cooking - Jim's cooking abilities are SpaghettiOs, and hot dogs. I try to get dinner to a point where all he has to do is bake it. Then I have to leave detailed notes on what to do to finish it up.
Have Jodi help with the cooking - Jim is more of a cook than she is!
Use the crock pot - This interests me, my mil gave me a recipe book. I tried using it last night, but the dish had rice in it and it was all mushy. Looking for more recipes to try.
