You mean everything to me! Happy Birthday Wife!!

28 years ago today was the beginning of the most beautiful thing in my life.
The Beautiful woman who is now my wife was born 28 years ago today. This woman often sells herself short, she doesn’t realize just how smart and wonderful and beautiful she really is. She is the love of my life, only god comes before her. I would like to take this opportunity to share a few of the reasons she is so wonderful.
She is beautiful.
She is Caring.
She is smart.
She is funny.
She is all about family.
She is a wonderful mother.
She is my best friend.
She is wife.
She is MINE!
And so to you my beautiful wife… HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I wish you MANY more, and I promise to try my best to make each and every one special.

Cowboy Butts

So I went to the Fortune Teller to see what my future held in store.

She said I’d meet a cowboy that’d make me fall to the floor.

I looked at her oddly and she showed me the cards

Then we moved over a couple yards.

She showed me her crystal ball and this is what I saw

A cowboy butt that stood real tall.

It sure looked familiar like I’d seen it before.

But maybe truly I’d seen it behind.

Guess I’ll have to ponder that for a while 🙂

**Happy Friday.  Tomorrow is my birthday and my hubby has written a special post, I’m just not sure what it says.  I promised him I wouldn’t read it until it posted 🙂**

True Love is…

True Love is reading each and every post I put up on this blog
True Love is kissing me every night before we go to bed
True Love is kissing me every morning even before I brush my teeth
True Love is learning my passions right along side me
True Love is supporting my dreams, no matter how crazy they are
True Love is feeding my cookbook addiction
True Love is eating all my creations even if they don’t turn out just right
True Love is telling me I’m beautiful even if I don’t agree
True Love is bettering yourself for our family
True Love is looking out for my dog
True Love is helping out my family
True Love is blowing off my temper tantrums
True Love getting excited over the little things with me
True Love is listening to me rant and rave when things don’t go quite as planned
True Love is calling me just to say I love you
True Love is pushing me to be my best
True Love is you, being you!

**Ok sorry, I guess I’ll quit being so mushy 🙂

Jerry chello

Well, Hellllllllooooooo all my fine feathered friends… Lol 🙂

As you can tell, I’ve had posts posting, but I haven’t been by to see you in a short while… Things at work have been extremely CRAZY! and when I come home at night, I’m pooped!

I worked my butt off over the weekend and found out that 5:45am does in fact actually exist.  In fact I even took a photo of it to share with you so you knew I wasn’t crazy!

And in Southern Oklahoma, this is what mornings at 5:45am look like:

I spent both days doing a lot of this:

btw, I hate painting trim, with a passion!

The weather down there every day, 102ish.  My uncle said they’ve been over 100 degrees for at least 27 days now.  The ground down there looks horrid!

That’s the color of ALL the ground down there and many fire warnings are out

 

Look at crack in the ground, every fence was that way.

My uncle said a lot of the Texas cattle ranchers are having to sell cattle because there is no grass for them.  In fact at the NCHA Futurity held in December, they are worried about having enough cattle for the shows.  It’s a huge concern.  So I say we pray for rain here, let’s pray for rain for the dryer parts of the country, and let the wet parts of the country get a chance to dry up a bit!  (You know, after all the major flooding)

So then to add to all that excitement of the weekend, my sweetheart had an appointment Monday morning and he needed a driver.  I told him no problem and worked it out for a day of vacation.  All was going good until I got called for jury duty on no other than Monday.  I don’t mind reporting for jury duty but seriously, when I have actual plans like driving my husband to an appointment…. .  So my mom agreed to take him for me.  We got home at 10:30 Sunday night (after a long weekend of helping my aunt) and the trial had been cancelled so I was able to take him after all to his appointment.

He had to take some medicine to “numb” him 1 1/2 hrs before, and so sitting in the waiting room,

 

Oh I had a fun old time laughing my butt off at him.  The medicine made him loopy (hence needing a driver).  Along with watching Maury, Here are some of the cute sayings he was telling me:

 

Him: Jerry chello
Him: Frrrozen choc hotlet
Him: Shahihihiish
Him to me referring to himself: My bestestestest really good friend and might take offense to that husband guy (I posted a comment on his facebook page)
Him: My attn to detail has spiked
Him: There emergency lights are crooked,
Me: where are the emergency lights,
Him: hidden in the paintings, it’s like where’s Waldo
Him: My feets are asleet
Him: That picture is crooked
Him: I’m gonna be whiney tonight you’ll be tired of me
Him but no idea what he was talking about: Are you bull shipping me?
Him to me while I was looking out a window: Don’t check that old guy out, you’ll make him nervous
Him: You stuck me on the billboard right beneath the bus
Him: Give them a list of all the things wrong so that they can raise the customer level of there comforts
Concerned with lights out and that they weren’t evenly spaced “Aresemetrical”, (yes it’s misspelled b/c that’s what he said) to give the building a better flow
Him: It’d be really cool if they’d let me take my phone and beerphones back there so I could put them in my beers and listen to music
Him: Valuable collectronics
Him: Don’t does that to me
Him: (I put a post it on his shirt) You put a sticker on me, where’d you get a sticker
He eventually moved it to his forehead
Then he started singing about a snake named Roman
Him: Don’t forget to get Jerry’s Chello
Me: Are you going to play it?
Him: yup
This is what he told me they gave him to knock him out: Relapse-a-damn
(Our friend T’s birthday is Saturday, T said he wanted a card so PC was telling me all kinds of cards we could give T) Giving T “card” board with glue and chicken feed for his birthday
Me: Your losing your sticker,
Him: well put it down the front of my pants, it’ll stay there…
Me: Um how about I put it in your pocket,
Him: what if I drop my pocket?
Me: What if you drop your pants,
Him: stranger things have happened

 

Him to me while I was video’ing some of this: It’s no fair, I’m being taken advantage of and it doesn’t even feel good
In fact, the dental Hygienist came to call another patient in and got tickled at me because I was video’ing him at one point.
So now you are caught up on my life and going on’s… LOL 🙂 I promise I’ll get my google reader cleaned out!  It said this morning I had 336 new messages to read…. That’s ok!  I plan on going home and relaxing tonight!  I should have plenty of time to catch up!

Alfredo Sauce Mishaps – Take Two

So, Alfredo Sauce Take-Two… I’d love to flat out tell you this round went better, but maybe you should continue to read.  {Don’t know what I’m talking about… read the first mishap}

This time around we decided to make our own Ravioli.  I’ve seen Giada DeLaurentiis do this before, looked easy enough, right?

So first off decide what you want for your filling.  We chose Hamburger & Ricotta Cheese with a handful of Parmesan.  I needed the rest for my Alfredo Sauce so I skimped a little on the Parm…

So brown up the hamburger.

Once that is browned, dump it off in another bowl (or get another skillet, whatever) so it has a chance to cool.  Meanwhile, start on making your Alfredo.  Now pour your 1 1/4 cups Chicken broth into the skillet.  This time pay attention,  make sure to grab the teaspoon, and put 4 teaspoons of flour into the chicken broth.
