My heart is heavy tonight. A friend from high school lost her sister today. She was hit by a drunk driver. She was in a coma, and then passed away today. The drunk driver got out of the car and ran away, with very minor injuries. I just don't understand it.

It's snowing, and I'm random

Again..........

~ I am trying to get into couponing. It is a lot of fun and a little time consuming. If you have extra coupons laying around......can I have them????? :)

~ January is half over and have yet to read a classic book. Granted, I have tried. I started Tom Sawyer AND Gulliver's Travels, and UHG I just can not get into either of them.... This goal is going to prove a lot harder than I originally thought. I usually enjoy fast paced, funny books, and those two just aren't. I will do this tho!!

~ Spaghetti tacos are surprisingly good. :)

~ While I was at Wal-Mart last night I noticed that they had Dr. Pepper 2 liters for $1. Eventho another goal of mine is do get off the hooch(ha!), I decided to buy one. Then I saw that they had Dr. Pepper 10. Only 10 calories per serving. Hmm I thought. That's not technically diet. If you want to know my thoughts on diet soda, ask Shannon. :) So I bought one and gave it a try. YUCK! I'm going to go ahead and say it tastes worse than diet. It honestly tasted like Lysol. Not that I know what Lysol tastes like, but I can imagine. So there is $1 not so well wasted.

~ Da Bears are still in the playoffs. I know! Crazy right?? Since Hubby is from the Chicaaago area, that is our team. Well my team is the Chiefs first, then the Bears, but (how did I end up with 2 usually crappy teams???) all of our football apparel is Bears, even little Emilee has 2 (yes 2) Bears dressed and 2 (I know!) onsies. If the roads aren't bad on Sunday, after church we are going to watch the game with my Grandma, who all of a sudden likes football. :) I think it's cute.

~ I am currently working on a menu for a month. If you have any great ideas for dinners, let me know!

~ Tonight I am trying a new recipe. No-fry Chimichangas. I have been soo into Mexican lately it's not even funny. I'm pretty sure I could eat it everyday. I really hope this turns out yummy.

~ My baby girl is getting so big. She is eating food, working on her sippy cup, and almost sitting up unassisted. It's just going too fast.

Happy Birthday Pappy

Today my grandpa would have been 83 years old. I love him and miss him so much. I know he is up there with Jesus, probably giving Him a hard time... :) This pic was taken when Tommy was not quite a month old. It breaks my heart a little bit that Emilee will never know him. It's funny the things you don't realize you love about a person until they aren't around to do them anymore.

Bathroom

I don't have a before pic, but our bathroom was yellow. Like pee yellow. ICK And the floor was just ugly......
