POTD: February 27, 2013
Between Stew's back and the snoring, I've been sleeping on the couch a lot. Tonight, I found my eagles already in bed, one with the Note, the other one with the Kindle. Take a look at the Kindle screen. Pretty cool coincidence.

Pinned It, Did It, Friday: Crispy Edamame
This next pin I originally saved because I thought it would make a good snack. Turns out we had it with dinner as a side.
Here's the original pin and the original picture:
Stew made this the night we had it for dinner since I had a lot going on that night. We had it with baked chicken.
Our version:
It was delicious. Pin Approved!
Just one word of warning, though - Stew took this for lunch the next day and said that it didn't warm up in the microwave very well.

Journal: February 17, 2013
I got up around 7:30 this morning after sleeping like the dead last night. It's funny because even after sleeping that long, I'm still tired. I know that when I don't eat right, I feel bad, but sometimes that's not enough to stop me. We need to get back on the wagon.
Stew got up around 9:30, very early for him. He's feeling pretty achy today. He switched from Dayquil to Mucinex and Tylenol. I hope he feels better soon. I don't like seeing him not be himself.
After he got up, I made him breakfast. We had french toast. I only had 2 slices which is some kind of miracle for me. I made sure I had my yogurt with protein powder, too - so that my breakfast wasn't too, too bad.
I'm working on getting caught up on LOAD. I think that the prompt on Monday, along with feeling really tired from the weekend in Kansas and the lack of sleep just threw me for a loop this week, but I'm determined to do every prompt this month. The prompt that's giving me the most trouble is to scrap about a lesson learned in adulthood. I'm not sure what the hell to scrap about. In fact this prompt is giving me so much trouble that I completely forgot about it. When I was uploading the layouts I did complete this weekend, I mislabeled day 12 as day 11. Just totally blanked that day 11 hadn't been completed yet. Sigh. So tomorrow morning, I'll be three layouts behind, including tomorrow's prompt. Thankfully, I don't think I'm traveling this week so I think I'll get it done.
Stew spent the day resting and watching tv. He's watching Starship Troopers or Battle Star gallactica or something sci-fi like that. I'm not sure which. Something, I'm definitely not interested in, that's for sure. He said that in this show there are only 50,000 humans left. Of course, my question had to be how in the hell are they going to re-populate this new world they're looking for. He said, "well, there are 50,000 of them." Yeah, true, I suppose. I hope some of them are good looking.
I spent the day in the craft room. I rebelled today and didn't go to the store like I should have. Will have to do that tomorrow. No more dish detergent and no more laundry detergent. Damn, that means I can't do laundry, shucks! Have to get it done though. I leave for Calgary in a week and want the house, the laundry and my blog up to date by then. Wishful thinking probably, but hey, it's good to have goals.
Stew and I watched the race from last night. Man, if that's how Daytona's going to be - that's going to be a snore fest. I didn't think that the racing was any better with the new car, or at least not in my limited view. Maybe when there's more than 12 cars on the track it will be more interesting. Kasey didn't wreck - that's good news. Tony was a bone head and caused the wreck that took out most of the field - I hope this isn't foreshadowing what's to come next weekend.
We also watched some more episodes of White Collar - still loving this show. Very different from the other crime shows we watch, but it's funny, so we like it.
I made tacos for dinner tonight. Stew said the filling was more spicy than usual - hmmm, I didn't do anything differently, maybe it was the spice mix? And we didn't have any sour cream. I'm not sure how I forgot that at the store - but I did. That makes a world of difference in how those tacos taste. I won't forget again, though it was probably better for us that it wasn't there!
And with that, the day is in the books. Not a very exciting weekend around here, but with Stew sick - there's not much we can do. Hopefully, he's feeling better soon and we can go do some stuff.
Off to bed now. Back to work in the AM - all you who are off tomorrow, grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Like Stew! He's off tomorrow, too - good for ya'll. I'll be slaving it at work - which is laughable if you consider what a day of working from my home office looks like.
Laters....

Well, today was a day....that's really all there is to say about it.
I'm up way into Saturday and I'm praying for a blizzard but by the looks of things outside, doesn't appear that that is going to happen. I'm pouting, damn it.
Stew woke up this morning for work after having a bad night sleeping. He had such a bad night, I finished up my night on the couch. He wasn't feeling well so he decided to stay home today and rest. He slept until almost 1.
After work, I headed out to the grocery store to pick up some food for us to eat and lots of liquidy stuff for him so that he can combat whatever he has going on. Lots and lots of gatorade.
When I was putting the groceries in the trunk of Stew's car, I found the second part of my Valentine's Day gift. I've been wanting one of these for years. We do a lot of entertaining at our house and I thought this would be perfect for keeping things warm throughout the gatherings. Stew and I saw one of these while we were in Kansas and he gave me one for Valentine's Day. He also bought me a real knife protection sleeve (kind of sounds like a condom, doesn't it? LOL) for my fancy dancy knife he bought me for Christmas. Still need to sign up for that knife skills class. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.
We had pizzas for lunch/dinner. It amazes me how different the pizzas we eat are - there's no such thing for me as too much sauce. On Stew's pizza you can barely see the sauce let alone taste it. We don't eat pizza often and by that I mean, we together don't eat pizza often. I eat pizza a lot, it has to be one of my favorite foods, but normally when I order it, Stew gets something else. Since we couldn't eat meat today, pizza was an easy choice. It was yummy.
I finished the scrap room re-organization (probably will be more on this on the craft blog sometime this weekend). Loving it much better this way. Everything is so accessible and I hooked up my Wacom tablet - looking forward to playing with that this weekend.
We watched some tv. Top Chef didn't record...AGAIN. I'm not loving the new season of Project Runway - I hate the whole team concept thing. Blue Bloods - still loving it. Finally catching up with this season of Bones. I really love the country bumpkin squint. I wish they would have him on every show. I mean how can you not love a character who comes out with lines like, "it's as smooth as a frog's fart." That's genius, right there. They just better get rid of this new agent chick that was partnered with Sweets - Not loving her. Still loving Elementary. Loving Jonny Lee Miller but I still can't believe that dude was married to Angelina. Just had to grab a picture of this look...
Awwwww....Sherlock sad.
I played in the scrap room, Stew watched some tv and then he went to bed and I'm still up at quarter till 3. Hmmmm. That's no good. I think I'll head to bed now and see if I can get some sleep. *fingers crossed*
Bad news of the day - Stew's cold means that we won't be heading to Jersey tomorrow for little Ms. CEH's birthday. How can that child be almost 1? The time just slips away. We will have to celebrate with her later.
Steve went to the Salisbury Zoo today - sent me a picture of a Bald Eagle - gotta love when my guys think of me...especially when one that's full on into his bratty 20s stage. Loved the picture, love the kid.
And a final picture for the night. After I gave Stew his Valentine's day present - he just had to have Stitch play with it. Look at Stitch - he's eating some part of the world.
Night, ya'll.

I gave him the present and can I just tell you what this man said? He said, "My wife gave me the world for Valentine's Day." I think my heart melted just a bit - I don't know where he comes up with this stuff and most of the time I roll my eyes and tell him to shut up and then other times, like today, it just reminds me why I'm so thankful he's in my life.
