Shock

Tiffany interviewed for a job at Intel last week and got the call yesterday saying she wasn't getting an offer. I am in a state of shock!

Apricot Breakfast Rolls

I hadn't played with yeast in a long time so I decided to give it a try yesterday and ended up with these yummy and very sweet rolls. This is a recipe from Light 'n Tasty magazine which I prefer over Cooking Light due to the fact that the recipes are usually pretty straight forward and I've heard of all the ingredients. Sorry to those of you who like Cooking Light but its just not my style.

Corndog Cowering from the Thunder

Corndog hates thunder almost as much as she hates getting her picture taken. I was able to get this shot while it was thundering and lightening out and she was too afraid of that to notice the camera. She is also afraid of things like the TV remote, newspaper, some pillows, etc. She's a very sweet dog but dumb as a rock :)

Heathens

My 2 brothers apparently were raised in a barn! Monday I asked Paul to empty the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and put the dirty ones in. Apparently in stinky boy land it is ok to have every dish in the house dirty and sitting in the sink or on the counter! On principle, I am not cleaning up this disgusting mess and I have been using plastic plates and utensils since yesterday. We grew up in the same house so I have no idea where they came up with the idea that this is ok! I did notice this morning that all forks are now dirty so this should prompt them into cleaning the dishes.

On a crafting note, last night I started my first project since moving back to AZ. I am crocheting a baby blanket for my friend Ashley. I don't know if she is having a boy or a girl so I am going with a gorgeous red yarn I found in the bargain bin at Joann's. It is acrylic but is very soft and should wash well. I only finished 3 rows last night and will post a photo when I have something to take a picture of :)

Wonders never cease

Last night I had to work late so I called home to the stinky boys and asked them to do a few things. To my surprise they actually did them all including making dinner! I couldn't believe it! I got home to nice warm and yummy homemade Salisbury Steak and I was so shocked that I didn't even remember to compliment them.

Peanut Butter

After remodeling the living room, kitchen, and both of my brother's rooms, I have finally started the remodeling in my room. I wasn't sure about Peanut Butter as the color for my sink area but now that it is up on the wall I really like it. I'm glad Jim talked me into it!

Another accomplishment this weekend is that I have finally uploaded the photos from my trip back the AZ with my mom. Enjoy!
