Saturday 1/16/10... RUSSIAN CHICKEN DAY - AGAIN!!! I'm addicted to this & so is Ricky! For Ricky to enjoy something I make so well that he'll eat it two weekends in a row, that says something! How easy is this - chicken breasts, Russian Salad Dressing, an envelope of Onion Soup Mix, & a can of cranberries (I use the cranberry sauce though) ... put in the crockpot, cook for 4 hours... OH MY GOODNESS... I use a little more then half the bottle of dressing & the whole can of cranberries to make alot of sauce... serve it over rice & use that sauce & its beyond yummy!
Sunday 1/17/10 .... YARN SWIFT REPLACEMENT...Ricky was out skating after church & I didnt have any extra hands around. And yes, while the suggestion of using Bruno was fun in trying, it didnt work. I dont have a yarn swift - which is a little contraption to hold yarn that isnt rolled up. And to roll it up, you need to stretch out the yarn... think of the old pictures of people holding yarn out in between their arms... no such luck. So my buddy, Auburnchick suggested to use the back of a chair... worked like a charm! that's nice to know because Yarn Swifts aren't cheap...(you can see the little roller it goes to in front of my Belle painting... I love rolling up yarn... so fun to watch it come into a pretty little ball!
Monday 1/18/10 - WREATH SURVIVAL... We got a live wreath at work this past Christmas & I am doing everything I can to keep it living! No one else cares in the office & they beg me to just "LET IT DIE REBECCA!"... I feel so much like Phoebe on "Friends"... I cant let it go... so I'm still faithful in watering it & it still looks good & smells good! Its over a month old... I think someone will sneak it down when I'm not looking & throw it away though... I'll cry...
Tuesday 1/19/10... "My Jesus Year"... I am loving this book! Its so funny but has some real insighs in it... I keep a book open on my desk at all times so when I'm on hold, I can get some reading in... Here's my desk with my book under all the mess...
Wednesday 1/20/10... NOT PIGGY!!!!! Every night when we go to bed, Bruno MUST have his Piggy... dont ask why the penguin is named Piggy... it just is... but every night, he sucks on its nose like a pacifier. And I'm getting ready for bed & look down & see the scariest thing ever... PIGGY'S NOSE IS COMING APART!! NOOOOOOO!!!! I've gotta use some mad sew skills to fix it... Bruno will never be able to sleep again!
Thursday 1/21/10 - Frozen to sleep!.... Yes, you may remember our "Spat of the week" & the talk of LAYERS of clothing because I'm freezing... Ricky snapped this of me sleeping. I fell asleep watching "Project Runway" & I have on, no joke, 4 layers of shirts & am tucked under 4 layers of blankets... I must have finally got warm enough to doze off...
Cant wait to see other Project 365 pics... SNAP AWAY!
