My Easter

I have been super busy with work this week and I haven't had much time to blog. That and I don't have my own computer so I have to use my room-mates when she isn't writing a paper or doing homework of some sort.

I hope everyone had a good Easter Holiday on Sunday!

Mine was pretty good for the most part.

I recently started seeing this guy and I wanted to impress him by cooking dinner. I thought it would be more fun to cook dinner with my room-mate and feed our men. Both our boys agreed to let us cook for them. I was really excited and really nervous at the same time. The guy I'm seeing, who will remain nameless, has never met any of my friends. In fact, I haven't met any of his friends either. We kinda want to keep each other to ourselves for awhile. So I was nervous to actually do something with him where other people would be involved.

My room-mate, Alicia, and I decided we would make Pot Roast and have salad and rolls as our side dishes. We started the roast before church BUT neither one of us knew how to change the temperature on the crock pot and so our roast simmered on LOW for the majority of the day. I was feeling really emotional that morning (stupid female hormones) and ended up going to my "kinda" boyfriends apartment to spend Easter in his arms. That was comforting. You have no idea how much I needed that. I got to see my kitty too! We ended up heading back to my apartment around 7:30 that night and we had a delightful dinner all together. Everyone got along really well and the food ended up tasting just fine.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!!

My mom was in her night gown and didn't want to go to the neighbors so she broke the kitchen window and I crawled through to open the door for my mom.

The Paso and Waltz

I was so excited to watch last nights Dancing With The Stars because they were doing 2 of my favorite dances: Paso Doble and Viennese Waltz. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the dances last night. I didn't like ANY of the Paso Doble's that were performed. The songs that were picked didn't do it for me. If I had to pick a Paso that I liked I would pick Melissa and Tony's Paso Doble. The song they danced to was Poker Face by Lady GaGa which happens to be one of my favorite songs currently but the band performing it was horrible and didn't do the song justice. Tony did some amazing choreography but Melissa made too many mistakes for the dance to be perfect. For such difficult choreography I think she did a great job and that is why I preferred their dance over Gillis and Cheryl's.

Gill and Cheryl performed an almost perfect Paso Doble but the only thing I liked about their Paso was Cheryl's costume. The song and the choreography did not meet my expectations.

Overall I was disappointed with the Paso Doble's that the stars performed last night.

The Viennese Waltz's from last night appealed to me more than the Latin round. Again I was not completely satisfied with the waltz's. My favorite was actually Lil'Kim and Derek.

She is really starting to grow on me. Looking at her in the this picture makes her look scary but she seems to have this really bubbly sweet personality on the show and I hope she does well. She didn't impress me much at the beginning of the competition but she is one of my favorites now. Not only did she perform my favorite waltz last night...but she performed my second favorite Argentine Tango last week.

Shawn and Mark are still my favorite couple but they really need to step it up a bit.

They did a really good but simple waltz last night. Let's just hope they start shining above the others!!

Even though Steve-O and Lacey aren't doing well in the competition....they did a really precious Viennese Waltz last night and I'm proud of him.

The Argentine Tango

I became a huge fan of the Argentine Tango last week on Dancing With The Stars! I've never gotten into the Tango before but the Argentine Tango is awesome. What is the difference? I don't really know except that the dancers were allowed to do lifts with the Argentine Tango. Lifts really add to the dance. I enjoyed all the Tango's that were performed last week except one: Holly Madison who ruined the dance! However, the dance was redeemed when Gillis and Cheryl performed their perfect Argentine Tango which was super HOT!!
I have a Latino friend who offered to teach me the tango. I'm super excited!

Tomorrow the Stars will be performing the Paso Doble

And the Viennese Waltz
These are two of my favorite dances in the whole competition so tomorrow should be a great show. I can't wait. What makes me even happier is the fact that Holly and Steve both got kicked off last week in the double elimination! How exciting is that? It's amazing!! Some of the stars that are still in the competition aren't all that great but they either have a great personality or something about them that makes them enjoyable to watch. So tomorrow shouldn't be too painful for the eyes! I'm excited for this show tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted!

Friends and A New Room-mate

This is Derrick and Me at work on Halloween! In case you can't tell....Derrick is the Devil and I'm a bunny. I don't usually get into the whole Halloween dressing up thing. Derrick was my biggest comfort and support while I was going through my divorce. He was always there for me when I needed someone to talk to. He never persuaded me to do anything that I didn't want to do. He told me he would support me on whatever I decided on. Thanks Derrick!
This is Alicia. We work together at Macy's too. Alicia became my new Room-mate about a month ago. Everything worked out perfectly. I was staying at my sisters place out in Highland but I was being kicked out. Alicia's room-mate was moving back home and needed to sell her contract....so I took over her contract and was able to move in the exact day I was being kicked out of my sisters. Alicia has been a blast to live with and I will miss living with her when we move out in April.

Just for the record....Alicia was a great support while I was going through my divorce too! Thanks Alicia!!!

P.S. I have other great friends but I don't have pics of them so I didn't mention them if I didn't have a picture.

I still love you!

My Newest Obsession

Baking

I don't know what it is but I've become completely obsessed with baking cakes and cookies. I have made 2 cakes and some brownie cookie things since I've moved into the apartment I'm living in which hasn't even been a month yet. I think that is a lot of baking since I work full time and I really only sleep here. What is sad is I would have baked more but I don't want my room mates to think I'm crazy or something. I just now finished baking a cake. I plan on having a piece in a few. I'm supposed to be cooking dinner with a friend tomorrow and I will be baking a cake for our dessert. Crazy huh? I just can't get enough. I just want to be in the kitchen baking yummy things that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you eat it. I happened to come across a picture of some cookies that looked delicious!

Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cookies

I copied down the recipe and I will share it with everyone if they taste as good as they look when I've made them. I don't know how long this obsession will last but hopefully it will be long enough for me to try these cookies.
