a (sort of) meal plan

So the week is almost over, and I am just now doing the meal plan for the week...yeah :) lol



Sunday- we had hamburger helper lasagna stuff. Mixed veggies from the freezer. Spinach salad.

Monday- Joe had leftovers, I had soup. It was gross and he ate the rest of the soup. haha

Tuesday- homemade pizza :) Chicken, olives, onion and spinach leaves

Wednesday- Diana and Matt were over and brought veggie pizza from Papa John's. It was tasty

Thursday- I guess we are going to have spaghetti sauce and rotini noodles. Maybe some veggies. All of our meat went bad during the power outage, so we are limited on options now :(

Friday- I get paid, and we can buy new food! I'm thinking chicken tacos. I LOVE TACOS!

behind the crowd

As excited as I am to finally have my new camera, I am also sad about the fact that I don't have any great job prospects. I am not doing any bridal fairs, I don't know a lot of people (except in Mountain Home), and you have to spend money to make money- and well, I don't have money.

I know I shouldn't let myself get down about it, but it's been on my mind a lot lately. I'm thinking about finding someone to partner with and getting a booth at the little Mountain Home bridal fair in February. Nothing super fancy. But there is a market for affordable photography services in MH, and I can provide those services. It's just finding that someone for a partner that's an issue...

anywho, tomorrow will be a good day. I'm cleaning the house, taking pictures somewhere (hopefully the weather is nice), visiting Jonesboro Bridal Fair and at night we are having some peeps over for a celebratory drinky drinky. Celebrating what, you ask? Uh...celebrating something...?!?

meal plan

Sunday: chicken fajitas with tomato, spinach leaves (better for you than lettuce!), olives, and salsa and whole grain tortillas



Monday: leftover fajitas! yum



Tuesday: Campbell's low fat Savory Chicken and Vegetable soup and sandwich



Wednesday: Spaghetti, veggies and bread



Thursday: Leftover Spaghetti :)



Friday: imagination night...who knows!

super...duper!

I was on tv last night.
I look dumb on tv.

But yesterday was pretty much a fabulous day, as is today! Classes are a nice mixture of good and not so good. I am kind of afraid of my News Reporting class and corresponding Lab. Photography class will hopefully get better. Today it was just about aperture and depth of field and such. I know what I think I need to know about that stuff...so it was kind of frustrating. I don't think I need to be an expert at it to know how to take good pictures, but I am going to study it all the same.

We should get our refund checks Friday, so I'm going to get my camera this weekend!!! WOO! And we may go to Mountain Home Saturday. Our niece's boyfriend is a Senior and he and his friend are wanting me to do photos of them with their dirtbikes.

I can't wait to get my camera!!!!! YIPPEE!!! :)

I love love!

My friend Kandice and her husband Andy are such an inspiration to me. Joe and I get frustrated with each other when we are in each other's way, when schedules don't mesh, and especially when I don't make dessert frequently enough (ha!).

But Kandice and Andy are apart for the majority of the year, and they still manage to keep the spark alive. It is so beautiful to witness their relationship! I'm sure it is hard being apart, but life isn't easy. They make the most of the time they do have together, and isn't that what matters??

I am trying to improve my relationship with Joe- I don't show that I appreciate him...we don't have a lot. The little things, though, are really the most precious. Like when we are going to bed, sometimes I can't fall asleep and he puts my head on his chest so I can hear his heartbeat and that puts me to sleep :) go ahead, say "Aww!" lol

Don't you just love love???

Fancy pants!

I must be feeling spring fever because I have been in a cleaning mood all weekend! Well, not so much cleaning per se, but organizing. I sorted out my sock/underwear drawer, and that lead to doing the other drawers, and then my closet. Then today we bought a new shower curtain and liner (our old ones had tears where the rings go thru the holes). Then I cleaned up the bathroom, we caught up on laundry, washed floor rugs, changed the bedsheets, and I reorganized the cupboard where we keep canned stuff and whatnot.

It has been a highly productive day! I tried a new recipe for dinner that Joe's mom gave me called "Dorito Chicken" and it was pretty good. It turned out better than I thought it would. And we have enough left to eat it tomorrow night, so my meal plan isn't going to work out this week.

Tomorrow is the first day of classes, and I don't want to go back...well, it's not that I don't wanna go, I would just rather stay home! And SLEEP! ;)

natural state of something

Here it is. The funniest thing you will ever see.

Anna Sellers in hair rollers.

Okay, so it's not all that funny, but it is humiliating. (And we all know how good I am at humiliating myself! haha!) I'm tired of my hair being so...like how my hair is. So this is test number 1. I will take another pic when it's down and see how it turns out.

If this doesn't work, test number 2 involves my sweet hairdresser Lucy and her magic scissors :)

I'm trying to resist that urge, but I'm bored with myself again!

Later taters!

**********************************************

Edit:

The rollers didn't work well at all. I think I need to use the little foam ones- these just made my hair look the same way it does when I let it air dry without any product in it...so it was wavy and a bit bouncier, but I didn't like it.

grr! lol
