Friday Eve

So glad there's only a day left in this week before the weekend! I'm trying a new recipe in the crock pot (it's fastly becoming my bff) with some cornish hens. It smells so yummy!

No meetings today, just paperwork from all the meetings from the past two days and tomorrow. And hopefully the gym or a run tonight.

  • I don't have to be at work til noon, so for now I'm just sitting around trying to breathe through my stuffed up nose. Dinner tonite will be whatever DH picks up for himself since I won't be home til around 9. Hopefully we'll be somewhat busy, even though I don't feel 100% today. I really need to get some money into my accounts, they're bleeding money right now and it sucks.

  • I wish my crock pot was my new friend. Especially since H works at night and I am really trying to still eat a real dinner not just junk. I just don't know all the stuff I can make and I am kinda lazy in the AM to do anything. Any good easy crockpot ideas ladies would be VERY helpful

  • Recipe:

    Season the chicken with whatever you want before hand

    Place in crock pot for 6-8 hrs on high (or until no pink is left) and add some chicken broth (sorry no measurements)

    Add veggies (if you want) about 2 hours before it's ready and viola!

  • I think the crock pot will be making an appearance in our house tomorrow or this weekend. I love making white chicken chili in it.

    Yesterday DH and I went to my parents to clean the snow off their roofs. Last night my mom and I did a snowshoe outing in town (around 2.5 miles) and went out for drinks and apps afterwards. I feel like I need to soak in a hot tub all day today.

    The column I wrote is in print this morning. Cannot wait to get feedback on it from the community.

  • So happy it's Friday Eve. Saturday my mom will be back from her vacation and I won't have to go look after her dog anymore. I think I am going to make a stew tonight or maybe chicken & dumpling because this is the first night it's actually getting cold here. H works until 11 tonight so i will be being lazy and laying in bed or on the couch in baggy sweatpants and watching tv, if he see's me do this he just shakes his head at me. haha

  • Well happy Thursday to everyone.  I am so looking forward to the weekend.  This week actually went by fast for me too.  Richard gets off work early today (8:45 pm) so I'm looking forward to watching American Idol with him.  Yes...guilty of being an American Idol fan.  They aren't as great as past seasons but I like watching the auditions because there are some good and some not so good (to put it kindly) people.

    Not much on the agenda for tonight.  I'll jump on the treadmill, possibly go to the gym and make a lowfat Chicken Parm for dinner.

  • I caught the last couple minutes of AI. I'm not an avid fan. I like to watch the auditions and usually lose interest after that. I'm not sure how I feel about the new judges either...

  • Alllllllllll night last night I thought it was Thursday night. Oh, cruel world.

    I've spend most of the morning working on my personal budget. I need to do my work budget. Whoops.

    We are refinancing our house tomorrow night.WOOOOOOOOOO. Hello $200+ extra dollars per month. Welcome to my lair.

    I need to get out of here soon to get to the gym and buy some stamps.

  • hi ladies! I just paid off my CC bill which was pretty hefty and my mortage!! We only have 50 bucks in the checkings right now but that's okay, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted :)

     For all you crock pot lover, how do u clean it? Because it always takes me days to clean it and forever and a lot of elbow grease because it gets all stuck on there.

    i let mine sit in hot soapy water over night so that all the stuck on stuff comes off super easy the next day when i go to clean it

  • I do the exact same thing as Jen, let it sit in soapy water. But my grandma loves the crock pot bags. I've never tried them.

  • I clean it as soon as I take the stuff out of it (a quick wipe), spray it with water and then put it in the dishwasher.

    Congrats on paying off your CC bill! I am paying my debt down and it sucks but I have a nice sense of accomplishment.

  • I used my Crock pot the other night and made a delicious pot roast, omg, it was awesome lol.
