day 23

brownies.....i found this recipe online so i decided to try it....it looks good, but does it taste good? i will need to ask my taster when he gets off of work, because i think i actually like the boxed brownies more.

day 22

when i first met nismo, he was allowed to eat rawhide anywhere, which meant on the couch on the bed, etc. since i've been home for the last couple of months, i finally was able to break him out of the habit on eating on the bed/couch and making a mess on the floor instead. the poor thing now has to hold it up with his paws or he puts it on his toys for leverage. if you knew him you know just how lazy he is. i am going to cheat and put up two pictures, because one just doesn't do nismo justice.

day 21

i went to whole foods and bought fresh ahi tuna steaks for dinner. it was our first time making it and as you can see, the chef did a great job!

day 20

we went shopping at the miracle mile shops on the hunt for some shoes for T. we didn't find his shoes, but he did find something else! him and strippers.....he's definitely a man.

day 19

i have the kids generally on friday - saturday. this weekend we went to a place called skyzone, basically a warehouse full of trampolines. it was lots of fun, but definitely tiring. i couldn't bring my awesome dslr and my point in shoot was destroyed a couple months ago...so i am borrowing my dad's point in shoot which doesn't do that great of a job....but i think you get the point.

day 18

cook-ies! i want cookies! me love cookies! T brought home a kitchen aid blender a couple months ago and i finally used it! it was definitely worth using and cleaning. next time....pizza maybe.

day 17

yummmmm...thai food! i love love thai food...but i also love eating. i have a yelp page too...ladyb.yelp.com. i haven't updated that in awhile since its a bit time consuming have a blog and trying to be a food critic, but i will update it soon.

day 15 and day 16

i missed a day last week, so instead i am posting two pictures for today. T's family adopted a dog, ecko. today was nismo's first time meeting ecko....and i think you can figure out what happened by the pictures.

day 14

cheddar sunchips oh my! for those that know me know that i LOVE snacking.....especially anything salty. i decided on snacking on some chips after some hardcore studying and nismo was right there next to me begging as usual....and now i think i will return to my snacking.

day 13

manic monday......T took the day off and he did chores and errands...which included replacing the doggy door so that there is not a huge gaping hole through the door anymore. YAY! i'm sure that is how he wanted to spend his day off, but he did a good job getting things done (great job boyfriend!).

day 12

yogurtland!!!!!!!!!!!! yummy...my favorite is the artic vanilla with yogurt chips and mochi....pretty plain huh? and yes we are back from san diego...it was a good trip, but i am exhausted (even though i didn't do one bit of driving..but i was ms. navigator). if you haven't been to yogurtland....go NOW!

day 11

we have spent all day eating with my family and now T is eating robin eggs as i am too...

day 10

Chick-fil-A......if you haven't been here...you are missing out. i love love their chicken. as T and i were driving to oceanside....we planned our route to include a stop at chick-fil-A. since its march madness season, every friday, they give out a green receipt after you order and you can go back and get the same exact meal for FREE any day in the month of march. unfortunatly, for us nevadans, we don't have Chick-fil-A...so that means we are going back tomorrow for our free meal! i think if we open one in vegas we definitely would be rich....anyone want to be my financial backer?!

day 9

i signed the documents today for my house...or rather it is now someone else's home. i feel that it's bittersweet, but i know everything happens for a reason (or that's what i try to convince myself). life hasn't been the easiest of times , but i've made it through thus far...so i guess there is a plan for me for today at least. i always tell myself not to take life for granted, but i catch myself doing it constantly. i'm grateful for everyone in my life, the ones i share my life with everyday and the ones i talk to every once in a blue moon. thanks for being you and putting up with ME!
xoxo

day 8

happy st. patrick's day!

day 7

i took nismo to the vet today and afterwards we went to the park and walked around for half a hour before T came and met us for lunch. needless to say, the doggy was worn out from the exciting car ride, the vet and the park. when we got home he was passed out as you can see by the picture.

day 6

i had bought nismo this chicken at petsmart about a week or two ago, because we were watching this commercial one night and it drove him crazy. i found it on youtube and he was going nuts trying to find the squeak toy. i will need to upload the video some other day, but since i did torture him i thought i should buy him a new toy that squeaks. he actually loves it!!!! so he was laying with his chicken this afternoon and he just looked so cute that i just had to post him once again on my blog.

p.s. here is the link to the video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr0D21Ex0OE

day 5

i was on the search for making the perfect kamikaze shot tonight...so T and i went to smiths and i bought rose's lime juice and sweet and sour. after 3 different recipes (T had 5 shots and i had 4 in the span of less than a hr) i think we found a pretty good mix. i also bought absolut pear vodka in search for the perfect pear martini. let me know if you have any good recipes.

day 4

i normally have all the kids on the weekend....with that task in hand, dinner can be quite difficult. tonight i had to make grilled cheese for the princess, ramen for the boys and chili spaghetti for T. all these people with all their different palates, but it definitely gives me a variety to choose from. i've never made chili before....i really liked it, not sure if T did, but i think next time i can add quadruple the chili powder the recipe calls for.

day 3

It's nice to come home after a rough morning and have someone so excited and happy to see you....Nismo without a doubt is always happy when I get home and it makes me feel loved. I guess you can say I like dogs now (ok mainly small dogs, still deathly afraid of big dogs)...and the greatest thing about it is that you know he loves you no matter what. Now that's unconditional love...who needs anything else in this world?

p.s. taken with my camera phone not my fancy shmancy camera

day 2

i spent some time with one of my closest friend and her two kids, anze and aki. anze is my godson (lucky duck!) and aki will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. boy, how time flies, i remember just visiting aki at the hospital. i LOVE babies, but i'm sure i'm not ready to have one just yet.... =)

day 1

this is what i did all day.....
i think i caught a 24 hour bug, but i feel much better now!
there's nothing like laying in the comfort of your own bed to make you feel better...
now all i need is some chicken noodle soup!

p.s. i had nismo with me, but T took him to his parents so he is MIA in my photo.
