Is That Weird?!?

-I like the smell of dried spray tan on my skin....

-I will not watch a movie unless it is from the beginning, even if I have seen it already...

-I love hot sauce/salsa but hate tomatoes....

-When I'm in a bad mood, I go through my "Funnies" board on Pinterest to make me feel better...

-I make up name combinations for my unborn children... 

-I don't like awkward silence, so I'm that girl just rambling so there is not silence...

-I can name all the Real Housewives...

-As some of you already know....I don't like beef. It just feels weird in my mouth...That is what she said.

-I no longer think Taylor Swift is sincere in her acceptance speeches...no one is surprised after the 67th award. Geez!

-I really like the smell of new tires...If someone could bottle the smell in Discount Tire stores, I would be all over that shit!

-While visiting New Orleans, I was more interested in the cemeteries than anything else...

What do you do/say/think that is weird?!

Five on Friday

Mornin' Lovebugs! 

Glad you decided to grace us with your presence.

Do I seem extra chipper this morning?!? It's all because I got my mind on my wine and my wine on my mind. Yes. I knowww it's early but no reason to judge a girl, I'm just thinking for this even when I get home from work. (I'm gonna pretend you believed that.) 

Its Friday, so you know what time it is, kids?!?

Five on Friday with the lovely Darci at The Good Life. 

                                           

-ONE- Wednesday night I watched Lady Gaga on Watch What Happens Live with my wanna-be BFF Andy Cohen and I think I came to the conclusion I like Lady Gaga. But strictly in a she says whatever the hell she wants and doesn't care what people think kinda-way, and I love that!

-TWO- Today I would like to give thanks to my Sigma Kabuki brush, it doesn't get credit where credit is do. But for real, who ever saids Sigma brushes are not as good as MAC brushes needs to be handcuffed to Miley Cyrus for talking crazy like that! I promise on my wine glass they truly are better than MAC brushes.

-THREE- I miss hog huntin' when it's cold! We always have such a good time! 

-FOUR-I'm really looking forward to the State Fair of Texas, which will start at the end of this month! Yay for, FRIED EVERYTHING. Lets be clear that's one of the main reasons we go! 

-FIVE- My awesome new throw pillows because there just so darn cute....can I ask why they are called throw pillows!? Anyone? 

Hope all you beauties have a GREAT day and weekend!

Weekend Recap

I had all the intentions to be writing this post last night but thanks to a sore throat and achy body, it was a no go. You would assume my achy body was from a earth shattering hangover since it was my birthday weekend and all or my sore throat was from talking loudly in a crazy crowded bar. -Nope. Didn't happen. Whomp. Whomp. But I'm not complaining, instead my niece and her roommate came to visit from college, which was the hubs and I first experience with having college age "kids" who eat anything and everything in your kitchen. Since they came down to visit and it was my father-n-law's birthday the day after mine we decided to cookout fajitas Saturday night with some close friends and family. My awesome mother-in-law made homemade enchiladas, thankfully I refrained from eating all 75 enchiladas she brought. That's called extreme self control, people! I tried to indulge in some adult beverages but it to was a no go because I was to busy trying to be the hostess with the mostess. Eeeekkk! Which is another sign I'm turning into my mother! Apologizes for not taking pictures like a true blogger but I was taking my hostess duties very seriously Saturday night.

 All and all we had a good time...until...the hubs got the outdoor TV working just to watch the ass whooping that was UT vs BYU. Just sad. Just plain sad. 

But I did get a picture of the beautiful roses and lilies I got this past week from my sweet hubby.

 I have a lot going on this week and some changes for the my blog coming up very soon, so be sure to stay tuned! 

:) 

Have a FABULOUS week!

Sunday Social

Happy Sunday Everyone!!!

1. What is your favorite fall activity? 

Enjoying anything outside because the weather is usually GREAT!  

2. Do you follow a football team? If so, which one and why? 

Well DUH! Cowboys & UT! Because its FOOTBALL and I live in TEXAS. Kinda expected where I come from....

3. What is something fun about fall in your area? 

Texas State Fair! We take JL every year and its always so much fun for our family. Plus this year there gonna have fried Nutella....enough said!

4. What are your favorite fall staple outfits?

Ekkkk! If I say my hubby's sweatshirts and leggings, do I sound completely lazy!?! 

5. What things are you looking forward to most about this coming fall season? 

Cooler weather, I'm so over this Texas heat! Being able to go outside and not start sweating immediately is priceless to me. 

6. What is your favorite fall holiday? Tradition? 

Thanksgiving for sure! We pick a different cuisine each year so its pretty awesome to do instead the traditional turkey and dressing. 

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake

As I have bluntly stated before...I am a horrible cook. It is still a mystery why, because my madre is a great cook and I feel as though I'm good at following directions. But for some reason every time I try to get ambitious in the kitchen it ends up going horribly wrong. It never fails that I end up leaving something out, adding to much, or overlooking a step which results in my dish being tossed in the woods for the raccoons.

So when I decided to make this  Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake that I found on Pinterest, I warned my hubby yet again that it could turn into a scary nightmare and to brace himself.

Butttt...to his surprise and mine it was good, not great but good! I only missed 1 step in the directions...(which only happen because I got interrupted by having to run outside and yell at the dog for trying to dig to catch a mole). 

So in my book I call that WINNING!  

Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake

• 2 medium-sized zucchini, cut in slices or half-moon slices 
• 2 medium-sized yellow squash, cut in slices or half-moon slices.
• 2-4 T chopped fresh basil (or even less, depending on how much you like the flavor of basil) 
• 2 T thinly sliced green onion 
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup low-fat white cheese (I used Pizza Cheese, which is a low-fat blend of Mozzarella, Provolone, Romano, and Parmesan)
• 1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan (I would use a little less if you only have the very finely grated Parmesan from a can) 
• Salt & Pepper to taste.

-Preheat oven to 350F/180C.  Spray an 8" x 8" baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.  Wash the squash and cut in slices or half-moon slices.  Wash basil, spin dry or dry with paper towels and finely chop.  Slice green onions.

-Combine the sliced squash, chopped basil, sliced green onions, dried thyme, garlic powder, and both kinds of cheese and stir together until the veggies are coated with cheese and the herbs are well-distributed.  Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.  Put the mixture in the baking dish and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes.

-When the zucchini is nearly cooked through, take the casserole dish out of the oven and sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese.  Put the dish back in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes 

longer, or until the cheese is melted and nicely browned and zucchini is fully cooked.  Serve hot.

I'm Only Getting Wiser...

Guess what!?!

---no. I'm not pregnant.--

It's my mutha' truckin' BIRTHDAY!!! 

I'm 22....plus 6! Holla!!!

I don't have to much exciting planned for today besides getting my sweat on...and not in the way you dirty minded folks were thinking. Haha! The hubs did take me to lunch Monday at Chuy's! Yeeeaaahhh! Since we were both off, we decided to partake in some retail therapy to end what was a great Labor Day weekend.

Check back for the Weekend recap because I have ALL the intentions of "celebrating" my 22 + 6 birthday!
