Week in Review

On Saturday the 4th, Jeff and I celebrated 6 years of marriage. I won't go into all of the mushy details if how much I love and adore my husband, but these last 6 years have been better than I could have ever imagined. We decided to not go out because I'm still not feeling great with my back but we ordered take out and stayed in.

I got my nails done and went with a sassy pink instead of my usual French manicure. Getting my nails done ALWAYS make me feel good.

I got some new shoes and I'm incredibly in love with the colors. I no longer feel like a tourist wearing white tennis shoes!

I made a little pit stop at Old Navy on Friday and found the cutest little pair of ratings and I couldn't resist!! I mean, come on, they're Owls!!

I finished off the week with getting to work on Saturday, but Chowder made sure to great me with excitement. I was feeling on so Jeff and I decided to finally go to dinner for our anniversary. We went to The Keg over at San Tan Mall and it exceeded our expectations! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and left full bellies and happy hearts.

How was your week??

Nerve Ablation

Ok, so if you follow me on FB you know that I have a stupid back and on Monday went in to have my nerves burned off. (Sounds amazing, right?)

So I went in Monday morning and was home by 11:30 that same day. I won't go into details because it's hurts just to talk about it. But it was a lot more painful than I expected, however I'm still incredibly hopeful that this worked and I'm soon to be pain free.

Here is a picture from today, there is a 3rd bump a wee bit lower but I didn't want to show off my crack. These bumps were much larger and are getting smaller by the day. Again, I'm still incredibly hopeful that I'm soon to be pain free!

My little piece of heaven

This is what my house looked like from across the street yesterday. I don't even recognize it from when I first moved in.

MIA

So you can see that I fell off of the blogging bandwagon. My life is a tad bit crazy. Hopefully it will calm down and I'll get back to the land of blogs.

Hat

Yes, I do realize that this is not a picture of a hat.

However I am trying to take a spin on the topics so I don't get bored.

So here I go:

I tried putting on a "Chef's Hat" today and tried a new recipe

Sour Cream and Bacon Chicken-Crock Pot

It was ok.

I must have left my brain elsewhere because whenever you are cooking with bacon and you "boil" or or cook it in liquid, it usually comes out pretty mushy.

And well my friends,

this bacon was MUSHY

The overall flavor was really good.

but next time I think I might try baking it in the oven rather than a crock pot.

Happy cooking.

Sign

A dusty piano is a sign of a lack of use and a lack of dusting.

So I dusted off the ivories and played a few tunes for my captivated audience.

Chowder loves it when I play the piano.

As soon as he hears me in there he comes right over and plops down next to me while I play.

I have high hopes that someday I'll get to have some little ones sitting with the dog listening to me play.

Close-Up

Here is a "close-up" view of the grass sprouting in my front yard.

I would love to say it's growing evenly with no bald spots,

but who likes perfection anyway.

On My Plate

would you expect anything less of my plates.

Think I'm obsessed yet??
