I wound up doing something last night that surprises even myself. I stayed up until 2am!! I think that once I get to a certain point, which would be past my bedtime point, I will be up for hours past that. We had fun though just staying home with the kids. We lounged around in our Jammie's, we got subs from Subway, and the girls each got to pick out a candy, in hopes that they too would make it to midnight, neither of them did! The date kind of makes me laugh! It's 1/1/11! That's got to be an easy birth date to remember! LOL!
So, I learned this new trick that I am really looking forward to trying. It's a really inexpensive way to clear up your skin. All you need is lemon juice, sugar or brown sugar, and a cotton ball or round. You put a pretty good amount of lemon juice on the cotton round and then sprinkle about a teaspoon of sugar on that and rub that all over your face, and then rinse of course. I am really looking forward to giving this a try. And it costs a fraction of the price of face wash, and that makes it even better!
Today I am going to make this recipe that I found in my Relief Society cookbook. It's called Razzleberry Crunch. It sounds so yummy! I am so glad that we got into our ward when we did, otherwise I would have missed out on this cookbook that I am loving so much! Besides that, our ward is great! I know that I was having some trouble feeling like I was even apart of our ward, but with time, things are finally getting a little bit easier. I am just really looking forward to tomorrow. Yeah, I know... the day before Clint goes back to work! Yuck! But no, really, I am looking forward to not having to rush out the door after already missing part of Sacrament Meeting. WE HAVE 11AM CHURCH!! That is going to be such a better time for us, well at least the girls and I. With football season being in full swing, Clint is more than likely going to be missing some or parts of his games. But that's alright, as long as the Steelers aren't playing on that day. My kids are total fans. It is so cute to watch them yell at the TV with their dad! Although I always said while I was growing up that I never wanted to marry someone that liked or played the guitar or one that liked sports. I for one never cared for sports, and growing up with guitars in the house! I couldn't wait to be with someone that didn't play! Well, I wound up marrying a guy that played guitar in high school and even after that, and a life long Steelers fan! It really hasn't been a bad thing. I let myself be open to the fact that it's something that the man that I married has always liked and found that I kind of like it too!
In just 4 short months and a week from now my hubby and I will be celebrating 5 years of marriage!! Kind of crazy how fast that time went by. We had 2 kids, bought a house, and had so many other adventures in just 5 years!! This is huge for both of us!! Having been married once before this time, 5 years is a long time for me too!! Yet life is good and we couldn't ask for much more than that.
Last night while we were at the store and had bought marshmallows for Rice Krispie Treats since we had everything else. Upon returning home I went ahead and made them. After letting them set, Clint went ahead and tried one. Oops! I totally burned them!! They were no good!! Don't even ask me how you can mess that up, when they are like super simple to make. But leave it to me to take something simple and mess it up!
After staying up until 2am this morning you would probably think, I am going to sleep in. Yeah right!! I was up at 7:30am this morning! I woke Clint up briefly when I got up, and although he was in a "I am asleep state" he was like I am going back to sleep! I have always wanted to be the type of person that could sleep any time of day and for long hours, but that's just not how my body works. I am usually in bed before 9:30 or 10pm every night and then will sleep until at least 9am. If I up past 11pm I will more than likely be up earlier than a normal person would be. That is one thing that I would love to change about me.
Now that it is going on 1:30pm in the afternoon and i have already baked, instead of the Razzle Berry Crunch, I went ahead and made Double Decker M&M Brownies. They are still in the oven so I am not sure if they are any good. yet again that is a recipe out of my Relief Society Cook Book. I am trying to make a lot of new things that I have never tried before. I will probably make the Razzle Berry Crunch sometime this week. I also plan on posting and sharing all the recipes that I try that I find that are good. I enjoy cooking, baking and making new recipes. I am not big on fish, Chinese, pork, beef, or even Italian food, so if you find a recipe shoot it my way so that I can try it. Even if it has beef or ground beef in it I can always substitute chicken or ground turkey in its place so send it my way anyway if you are up to it. Actually after the dishes are done and I get my baking dish clean I am going to go ahead and make the Razzle Berry Crunch today. I already have one recipe that I am going to post later after I make it. So I will post later tonight.
