Ugh

Not lame, you're just busy. It's good you finally learned stick. If only I could teach Bubs...

I love recipezaar. There's another one I like too, but I don't remember what it's called. We make chicken parmesan all the time, amending this recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/pork-cutlets-parmesan. I've never actually had Moo Goo Gai Pan. I'll have to try it.

I got a kitchen aid from David for Christmas and I use it all the time. I love it.

I think school is crazy all around. I can't imagine going to districts. I have a hard enough time getting them to do what I want in the classroom. It's weird - when I'm in school, I can't wait for the weekend. But on the weekend, I feel the need to go to school. I guess I'm getting bored at home.

Bubs and I are housesitting while his parents are visiting Allana in Germany. I miss being home. Not that I don't like it here, but home is comfy.

As for the house, my mom is going to loan us the down payment. But she can't do that until April. So it's hurry up and wait in that respect.

A lot to catch up on...

How sad is it that I came up with the plan but can't keep up with just once a week! I think it's because I have that other blog. Lame, I know. Well, Cash was up for the weekend for V-Day. We had lots of fun though we really didn't do much. You'll be glad to know that I learned how to drive a standard in the (non-rainy) daylight. I even got out of the parking lot and onto real roads. So the next time we need to go clubbin in your car you can drink and we can actually get home!

The puppy is doing great. She's only peed on my bed once but then I haven't let her sleep up there all night since. I've been trying out a lot of new recipes lately. I found some on recipezarr that are really great. One was a chicken parmesan recipe that was super easy and restaurant good. We made a Valentine's Day meal with chicken, artichokes, tomatoes and mushrooms and some other stuff that made it taste like Moo Goo Gai Pan. Like really good Moo Goo Gai Pan! So my plan is to make it again but instead of tomatoes and pasta to add water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and baby corn and voila! I've got kick ass chinese food at home!

I also made chocolate moose. Turns out I'm finally using my Kitchen Aid like it's supposed to be used. It turned out really well too. It's been a good week for food. School is getting crazy. Only two weeks left until district contest and we have A LOT of work to do. Too bad I am taking a kid to Lawrence, KS for an honor band thing this weekend and will be gone of Friday. Yay for loosing rehearsal days. I think they'll do well but I'm nervous because I've never been the director at one of these things. I want the kids to do well and there are these two sections that I have no faith in. AGHHHH! So much to do and so little time. Good news is that after district it's smooth sailing. Ok that's all I have on my side for now. I'll do better, I PROMISE! Love you lady!


P.S. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HOUSE!!! You will have to explain to me how you managed to fix the deposit problem though. I'm so excited for you! Now you can be the grown-up and I can be the kid!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!

Bubs and I are pre-approved for our house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
