We got about 7 inches of snow yesterday. What does that mean? Carey took my 4WD 4Runner to work and I'm basically stuck. Again. :) I might venture out later to go to Hobby Lobby (only 1 mi. away), but I want to be safe. I have hair bows on the brain. Our niece, Baby K., will be arriving any day. So I need to finish her collection! :) Plus, Miss Lucy needs some new bows. I'm a little tired of the ones she has. I also want to get into making THESE. So cute! Ok, maybe we will go out later. :)
Anyway, in other news. I made the most amazing Tortilla Soup last night. Oh my. Thanks to Pioneer Woman for her amazing recipe! Carey LOVED it and of course I did too. There is not much left over. Tonight I am making THIS. Oh yes. If we die of heart attacks tomorrow, you will know why. =) I don't cook stuff like this a lot. But it's snowy and everyone needs some comfort food once and a while. Plus, I am going to use ground turkey. And oven fries are not that bad for you. I am using olive oil.... (can you see me justifying this meal!?)
I've been practicing with my new camera over the last few days. All of this aperture and ISO stuff confuses me. But I found some tutorials and I'm working on getting better. Here are some pics I've taken of Lucy while "practicing." She mostly just ignores me these days. I think someone has had enough picture taking. =)

| Another picture? |

| She's asking if she can take her bow off. I said no. |

| I cannot resist the faces she makes sometimes. :) |

| She's singing along to the ABC's on Baby Einstein. The kiddo cracks me up! |
So that's what we've been up to. Tomorrow, I think a grilled cheese and tomato soup date at Nordstrom Cafe' is in order for me and my girlie. Our favorite place to lunch. Then some shopping--of course!! We're going to spend a gift card Lucy has to the Children's Place. I cannot believe how big she's getting! She's growing out of most of her 12 month clothes. (Ok, I know. It makes sense since she's 13 months.) I just can't believe we're in 18 month clothes now. Time flies!
P.S. --Like the new blog look? I am trying to make it a little more chic. I'm making little changes every few days. =)
We love the murphy's hot hamburger....just another little think i do for the fries...I used the Pam Olive Oil spray (which is no fat :)...I have used just any sort of non-stick pam type stuff on oven fries before, and they always come out yummy!
ReplyDeletejust a heads up...if there is not enough grease from your patties to make the gravy you might add some oil :). Oh yum. Wish I was eating with you tonight!
yes, yes, the new look is super cute :)
