Step aside Betty Crocker

That's right, according to my husband, I make Betty Crocker jealous! Ha!!! LOL I really did have a great time cooking last night, even after a day at MDO. :)

The kids really weren't that bad yesterday; I think it had a lot to do with the fact that we had a visitor early in the morning cuz once he left they got a little more . . . "tired" and like 2-year-olds. :) Needless to say, even though I didn't get my pay check yet (yay for Thursday!!!!, it was still a great day at MDO!

It was even greater when I came home and Karl had already done a major part of the chores and found my MDO shirt that I just could not find - he is sooooo great! I mean almost everything except dusting and vacuuming, including dishes, laundry, cleaning up the living room, bedroom . . . so good!

We had planned our meals for the week on Sunday and had decided that Tuesday night we were going to eat catfish, but I didn't know how I was going to cook it. :/ So, when I came home to a cleanish house, I was pumped and ready to look in the plethora of cook books that we have in our kitchen (which I love!). I found this really simple recipe and ended up frying this catfish and it was delicious and EASY! I like this.




Apparently Karl likes it, too, and that means a WHOLE lot!!! :)

And then, if that wasn't enough, I decided to make cookies. I know, crazy, huh?!?! So, after putting the dishes in the sink and NOT washing them, I'm notorious for that, I started whipping up some cookies and now that I know how our oven works, they turned out very yummy. I actually ate a little too many last night, I think. :)


Here they are! We bought these cookie cutters while in Alaska. The moose ones didn't really agree with me, though. The antlers kept falling off. :/

Anywho, that's about it. Today we are going to go see Year 6 in Harry Potter's career at Hogwarts, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!!! Super excited! Can't wait to tell you all about it.

My sister comes home in 16 days!!!! Can you tell that I'm excited? This is the longest that I have gone without talking to her. Sure we've texted two or three times but it's not the same, you know? :/ Anywho, I am very excited and awaiting her return. Plus, the weekend she comes in we get to go to a wedding (number 20 something for the summer :)) and get to stay with some friends from college. We're pumped!

That's all for this Betty Crocker in the making. I'm going to make like some cookie dough and roll . . . lame, but I'm out. :)

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
