Snowed in?

Take a look at this....



They're calling for all of the rain to turn into snow here within the hour. It's supposed to snow from now until 6am tomorrow morning!

I am a little doubtful but you can bet your booty of it starts comin down I'm hightailing it outta work and headin home because my Cammie does NOT do well in snow!

Wish us luck! If we get hit I plan on doing lots of movie watching and hot chocolate drinking! What's your favorite snow day activity?!

Circus of the Sun

Actually, I don't know if that's the translation - my foreign language courses have long been forgotten since high school. We need to work on that retention rate! Chrischris and I saw a commerical for Cirque du Soliel's new performance (show? acts?) Alegria last night, and I really want to go see it!

I've never been to a Cirque performance... have you? They're going to be in Indy over Valentine's weekend (ah-hem perfect gift!!) What are you asking for for Valentine's Day? Any big plans? Or are you a Valentine's basher? Fill me in folks!

In The Kitchen: Week 5: Spinach & Cheese Stuffed Shells

This post should be titled "In The Kitchen: Week 5: FAIL", but that seemed a little harsh. Chrischris and I decided to make Spinach Stuffed Shells out of the good ol' Betty Crocker Cookbook. You can't go wrong with the trusty red & white plaid, can you?! Yes, my friends, yes you can.

Ok, maybe I'm being over dramatic, this wasn't terrible. It just didn't have much flavor. At all. It tasted of noodles, spinach and marinara. It needed a heavy dose of spices. It needed Emeril's BAM! I don't even feel like sharing the recipe. Maybe we will revisit it at a later date and try to kick it up a notch, but until then let's mark this week down as a "nice try kid, maybe next week".

In other news, we watched UP! the other night. It made me cry. I wish I could follow that sentence with a "just kidding" but that would be a lie. I really did cry. Twice actually. When his wife died, and in the end when he was looking at her Adventure book again. Those darn Disney movies get me every time! Don't even ask me about The Fox & The Hound!

Oh my, I need to get back to work. We're swampppppped this week with Superbowl, Lovey Dovey Day and oh yea, those little green men looming on the horizon. This job makes me despise large liquor-drinking holidays. It's quite sad actually.

Top 2 Tuesday: Top 2 Favorite Movies

I'm back with another Top 2 Tuesday hosted by Taylor! This weeks' topic is movies. I didn't even have to THINK about this one!

My top two movies are classics! Classics that involve dancing!! (Ironically, I can't dance if my life depended on it! Maybe that's why I like these movies? Ha!) 

 

Dirty Dancing

Hello, duh! Show me a girl who doesn't have this movie in their top 5?! and my number two.... 

 

 

Grease

A great American classic. Ahh love it! I want to leave work and go watch both of these now! Haha

Taylor posted two good ones too, I adore 'PS I Love You'! I could give a list of my top 20 favorite, but I won't bore you with that! I stuck to my "go to" top two! (To all who know me in real life, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days is totally third, don't worry!!)

Mondays.

I've always been impartial to Mondays. My mom is (always was) a hairstylist, so Monday's were always her day off. They were the day I would come home from school and get to help her fold laundry and then we'd watch Guiding Light. In the summers, Monday's were the days that we'd run errands and go shopping.

In 2001, my grandma lost her battle with leukemia. My grandpa, bless his heart, never really cooked a meal in his life so my mother and her two brothers & sister took it upon themselves to "assign" my grandpa to an evening (or two) at each of their houses every week. Since my mom is off work Mondays, Monday nights became the evening that grandpa came to our house for dinner.  In college, I would try to schedule my classes so I would only have one on a Monday, or sometimes I would just skip my Monday class to hang out with mom, and I never made plans with friends on Monday nights, because it was family night!

Now that my brother moved back from Chicago and him and Courtney are expecting, they come out for Monday night dinner quite a bit. Chrischris typically makes an appearance at dinner as well. 

Now that I have a "real job", I don't get the joys of hanging out with my momma on Mondays, I miss those days. I'm glad we still have Monday nights though. The best part is that we don't HAVE to be here - we just all choose to be here. To come hang out, and spend a little time with each other (and enjoy moms cooking, of course!) 

Do you have any certain days that hold a special place in your heart?
