Food, wonderful food!...

[the vultures' song on IceAgeII...nevermind...]
There is a point to that, though...

I've been COOKING! Like...every dish in my house is dirty, cooking. I plan to remedy that this evening. I just wish we could come up with a vaccination for that, you know? It could be called the ''anti-dirtydishariitis'' vaccine. Once again...nevermind... =)
Seriously, though...it has been cooking madness at my house.
Everything from Nachos, Chinese somethingimadeup with burger/rice, etc., to Pumpkin Pies and Custards. Oh yes. You heard me. I always knew that I liked baking. I even knew at one point that I liked cooking in general (thus my thoughts to go to culinary school...didn't last, but I thought about it.) but I haven't thought about it for a looong time! Why? Lack of time. Nothing more. We have been so busy, and sometimes we were just busy making ourselves busy, that we grew accustomed to eating out. I got to a point where I didn't really miss homemade food. Or at least, I didn't know that I missed it. I guess your tastebuds adjust after a while. Here's the deal, though. They don't. They get used to bland, restaurant flavors. I discovered that they are easily re-awakened to real, fresh, vibrant flavors. I made some alfredo on Tuesday. I wish I had gotten a picture of it. It was heavenly. I'm not talking I bought a jar of Bertolli Sauce and poured it over my noodles. NO! I'm talking homemade from cream and a touch of milk(I think half-and-half would've worked, too) with parmesian cheese and butter. PERFECT! I need to go buy some chicken and do it again. I've never had better alfredo. And I eat the stuff every chance I get, so I know the difference.
Anyhow, I guess I'll get back to my school work now, and maybe I'll start sharing a recipe with you occasionally. I'm a really great cook! =)
toot toot!

I'm addicted!

This is real love.

Ok, maybe not love, but I am definitely addicted. $1.90 -ish at WalMart.
Oh, yes!
I also hear that there is a cherry flavored one. I even saw it. It smells sooo, so good.
It's now on my shopping list.
*sigh*
Um...I also saw a tube of Aquafina Lip Oil at the dollar store.

I thought about getting some, but I was there for someone else and didn't feel like digging out my wallet for a dollar on a check card.

Also, I have lost 5 lbs this last week. They were 5 out of about 8 that I had gained the two weeks before, but they were lbs. nonethe less. And! I am NOT buying more jeans. One of my two pair has a hole beginning to form on the inner thigh. I will not stand for that! I will decrease the size of my thigh and stop the damage! I will then continue to decrease the size of my thigh and buy a new pair of jeans.
To bed by 10 and up by 6! I must work OUT!
Or in, rather... I will be indoors on my treadmill.
I will also eat breakfast by 7:00 and be ready to leave home by 7:30.
Yes, I've been late. Quite a bit, actually.
Oh crud!
I'll have to drive the truck tomorrow. Oh, well... It will simply continue my work out. That clutch likes to goof with my calves and knees. But they need that. I also need water. I got dehydrated last week and got a few charlie horses. Bad ones, too. I still had a bruise yesterday from a horse on Friday morning. I told you it was bad.
