Another Good Weekend

Aside from being in the salon literally ALL DAY Saturday, my weekend was still great! Got up Sunday and went to the grocery store...made fried chicken, yams, greens, and cornbread. Greg and I had pineapple sherbet for dessert while we watch Spartacus. That show is so addicting! We'll catch up on most of it next weekend when we go to Clarkesville, GA for his family trip. Can't wait to just get away for a few days!!!

Dang It!

So I had my lunch all packed up and left it on my dang counter! Can you say pissed! Lol. I packed chicken and mac n cheese for lunch. I had my mouth set for it too! Smh. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to eat for lunch today! Dang it! Lol

Great Weekend

Okay I know I'm like 3 days late posting this since it's about my weekend, but it's my blog and I can do what I want! Lol.
This past weekend was pretty great! Friday we met up with some friends at a sports bar to just catch up and have drinks. Then we went to a karaoke bar that was uber fun! No, I did not get up the and sing anything because I really am a shy person. Now if you happen to be at my house when I'm in the shower, you will get the concert of a lifetime.LOL
Saturday, we went to visit our friends in Jackson. We always have a good time there!!! It's really the only time we eat like we don't have any sense! Ice cream for breakfast, pizza, chips and dip, and pretty much whatever we want to eat throughout the day. Lol. I knew we were going to grill on Sunday, so I took the meat that I knew Greg and I would be eating this week to cook. I grilled turkey legs, salmon steaks, and a whole chicken. Can you say the bomb.com!!!!! Ninah Bee showed me how to butterfly a chicken(gross), so now that's what I will be doing from now on! I told her she is my cooking tutor and I think I've been doing pretty good. Lol.
Greg and I dreaded leaving Sunday night. We really could've used one more of relaxing and doing nothing! I wish we lived closer to each other!!! Lol. Even though we got home around 11pm and were tired at work the next day, it was well worth it!

Monday's Dinner

I decided to make meatloaf for dinner yesterday. Greg(my Husband) was super nervous about trying meatloaf made with ground turkey for the first time. I personally have never had beef meatloaf, so since we're both trying to eat healthier he agreed to try it. Little did he know that this was my first time ever making meatloaf...baby steps people!!! Lol. To make sure I didn't screw it up, I called my Mom to ask her how she makes hers. Guess what people? It came out perfect AND Greg actually liked it!!! Greg even suggested that I make it spicier the next time! For sides we had mashed potatoes and broccoli. Can you say delicious?!?! I brought some in for lunch today, so I will be eating a hearty salad for dinner.

Unfortunately my phone is acting stupid, so I can't post a pic of my plate. I will be sure to once I get home!

Busy, busy, busy!!!

So based off of how long it took me post since the last time; it's safe to say that I've been really busy! Since NJ and her family left I have been cooking a lot more. I'm tired of eating out and I'm tired of spending money on food! It was really starting to add up!

Great Weekend!

This was a fun and relaxing weekend! Something that was much needed! NJ and her family came up Friday and just left today(Sunday). She taught me a new recipe that was sooooo good! We had sirloin and pasta with garlic bread. The pasta was seasoned with olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, and butter. Can you say uber delicious? Lol.

There's nothing like good food and spending time with friends!!!

Thank Goodness!!

So I was talking to my friend NinahBee about how to cook lamb and whatnot. I kind of sort of hinted that it would be so much easier if she just came up for the weekend. Guess what?  She and the family will be coming to town today to stay the weekend! Yay!!! Talk about right on time! I would've had that lamb all jacked up! LOL.

Thanks NJ(NinahBee)!!!

T.G.I.F.

Even though this was a 4-day week for me, it went by so frickin' slow! Sheesh! I thought Friday would never get here!! Greg just emailed me asking if we can have lamb for dinner ::blank stare:: lol. So I do like lamb and probably have only had it like 4 times ever in life and just started eating it last year. Here's the issue I'm having. I have never cooked lamb before, so this is going to be very interesting!!! LOL
I will definitely be hitting up my friend NinahBee for assistance because I have no clue where to even begin!! Pictures will be posted this evening of the meal...pray my strength! ;-)

Yummy!!

I actually cooked something different for dinner last night! I didn't go grocery shopping, so I threw together what we had in the house. We had turkey legs, rice, steamed veggies, and garlic bread.

Side note: I wish we had a grill to smoke the turkey legs, but we gave our grill away a year ago when we moved because the townhouse management didn't allow charcoal grills. We have yet to get another one because my husband is dragging his feet about it, so I guess I will order one this weekend. Okay...I digress...LOL

None-the-less, I'm just glad I actually switched it up because anyone who knows me knows I don't really change up what I eat. See, I'm making progress Ninah Bee!!! LOL.

My.Own.Pace!!!

Changes...

As you can see, I have changed my blog name! Lol. I am just at the point where I don't want to keep up the Jones' and the pace that the world is forcing us to move at. I know what I want/need to do in life and how to get there. There is no written rule that says certain things have to be done within a certain time, or by a certain age. I say live life how you want. This doesn't mean you should break the law, nor should you ignore God's purpose for your life because we move at His pace and do things the way He wants us to. I am just simply tired of society as a whole and the direction it has taken.

New Hobby, New Challenges

A few weeks ago, Greg said I needed a hobby. Something that I enjoy and can do without him. After thinking about it for a while; he is right! (My first and last time saying that lol). With that being said, I have decided to turn one of our bedrooms into my Hobby/Hideaway Room!

After years of seeing my friend NJ aka Ninah Bee do all types of neat and creative things; I think I'm ready to give it a try. I've seen some great ideas online that I would like to try in my own home and can't wait!

I have also decided to start cooking more. This will definitely be a challenge for me! Lol. Eating out all the time isn't healthy, nor is it beneficial to our pockets! Not to mention, this will keep NJ from talking about me! LOL.

This a new year with new challenges, but I think I can handle it!

Back At It...Finally! Lol

It's been almost an entire year since I've been on my blog! Just sad!!! So much has happened in this year. I'm not going to recap 2011, but all I will say is that it was a BUSY year!!! Lol. My Husband and I are in the process of closing on our house. Hopefully, it will all be over and done with this week! This entire home buying process has been so stressful, but everything happens for a reason!

It's 2012 and I'm ready to finally get "back to P.H.A.T." in more ways than one...LET'S GO!!!!
