come to realize?

one of my favorite 'things' if you will; is realization.
sometimes its realizing things you've been told your whole life, but when your eyes finally open to them its a feeling of confirmation.
realization: the making or being made real of something imagined, planned, etc.
as i've gotten older, grown up, or just continued to live- i've come to realize more and more things. how this world works is pretty amazing and realizing it on my own is even cooler.



I am making shepherds pie for brad, he fixed my car this weekend and that'd be his favorite meal he hasnt had since his mother cooked it for him. Im nervous about trying to mimic a 'mama's meal' and have asked my own mother to help me with this. I've never even eaten shepherds pie, i dont even know that i'll try it since we ate at spaghetti factory not too many minutes ago..

i want this skirt please, bad.

-Linguini noodles
Sauce:
-1 ½ c peanut butter + 2 tbs
-1/2 c fresh squeezed lime juice
-¼ c water
-2 tbs brown sugar
-2 tbs soy sauce
-1 tbs cayenne pepper
2 coves pressed garlic

Mix veggies into sauce and top over pasta. Sprinkle crushed peanuts over the top.
I also served with our original h’ourderves:
Wheat thins with cream cheese topped with cubes of red, green, orange and yellow bell peppers. YUM

i've been craving tons of salads, tons of salads...and
desserts,
dessert anything....cake, ice cream, brownies,, milkshakes.
we went to red robin for late night dinner and i was so full but i had to order apple crisp to-go.

my presley is sick. on monday i had her seen at my office, she had croup. they gave her a steroid and it helped, now we just have annoying colds. i had to leave work early to pick her up today. i picked her up and we got some medicine and a new puzzle. its nice out. she's happy for a sickling.

so the jazz broke their 12 game winning streak last night against atlanta. it was close. and sad.
i can only get into basketball season when it nears the playoffs. but when our team is doing good and actually will make playoffs, its exciting. Brad and I had fun at our game.


its Mustache March. the boys in our group....well grow their mustaches for the whole month. its quite amusing, i really like brads mustache they all think they look like middle-aged men. im just glad i dont have facial hair.

i've been trying to cook at home more. i made brads house penne again. and i made chicken soft tacos the other night, it was a new recipe and it turned out really good, thanks for finding it for me lin. last night i got lazy and did pasta salad and frozen pizza but i am proud i have been cookin in more rather than eating out. however, tonight im taking us out to dinner to celebrate Brad getting a raise. where should we go, he wont pick.?

last weekend it was so nice out that we went and played basketball. i loooved it. it was so funny, we played a 5 on 5 half court game which i probably wont participate in next time, but then we played Bump, like 12 times, it was so much fun, im embarassed to say i have been sore. today is the first day im feelin back alright. we'll play again this weekend, its good
, not-so-rough workout. i enjoy it.
