URF...

I have nothing to post about. I have no energy for crafts, no stomach for cooking, and no brain to think of anything witty or funny to say.

I made dinner on Saturday night for the first time in nearly a month (chicken, rice, and steamed veggies--it doesn't get any more boring than that) and spent the remainder of the evening laying on the couch, trying not to vomit. GAH. It's a GOOD thing I did the pantry challenge in January because I've blown all my savings from January this month on pre-made food...

Midget and I did have a great time at my service club's Valentine's Day Dance. As expected, I had to drag her off the dance floor when it was time for us to go. I enjoyed having a reason to pretty myself up and wear the gorgeous dress I bought from Bettie Page Clothing for my Stepson's wedding. Thanks to my nausea, the dress fit even better than it did in November, and I actually felt like a million bucks that evening!

Challenge Check-in and HOLY CRAPOLI

Well, I figured I'd better check in with the challenge, seeing as it's nearly over and I haven't checked in for almost two weeks. Week 2 went fine. I spent $20 and change on groceries and I was feeling pretty good. However, week 3 did not go so well. I didn't plan well, fell into some old habits, and apparently was craving fruit while shopping and ended up spending $40 on groceries!! This last week, I got back in the groove and spent $23. I didn't feel too bad going $3 over since I bought a cake mix and frosting to make my hubby birthday cupcakes! Happy Birthday to my sweet hubby!

My total spent for the month of January was $103. This was quite a bit more than my original $65. However, I am definitely feeling pretty darned good, considering I normally set myself a $75 per week goal. That means doing the pantry challenge saved me nearly $200 in groceries for the month, so I'm not even CLOSE to feeling sad that I went $43 dollars over my original goal. I knew I'd probably hit $80 anyway, considering my required calcium increase.

Plus, I still have many, MANY meals I can make out of my freezer. I think I'll continue eating from the pantry for at least another week. Here's where I'm at on my list of freezer meals.

Broccoli & Ham Quiche (mix is already in the freezer), salad
Homemade Veggie Pizza & Salad
Chicken Pot Pie & Cut veggies
Chalupa (pork and pinto beans already in freezer) served over shredded lettuce with tomatoes, avocado and Spanish Rice
Turkey Sausage & Eggs Florentine scramble
Spaghetti & Turkey Meatballs, Salad
Italian Wedding Soup, Homemade Bread
Turkey Tacos, corn
Crockpot Beef Roast and Veggies
Shepherd's Pie, salad
North Carolina BBQ Pork, Homemade Coleslaw, served on Buns
Spicy Pork, Vegetable Gumbo Soup served with Rice
Turkey Burgers, Oven Fries, Green Beans
Philly Cheesesteaks, Sweet Potato Fries
Hoisin Pork Stirfry (includes veggies), Rice
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole, Peas
Turkey Chili, Green Beans

And now, for the HOLY CRAPOLI part of this post...

I'm going to be a Grandmother in October. At the ripe old age of 35. Yep. I'm still completely in denial. My stepson and his wife are pregnant and will be welcoming a baby approximately one month after we welcome the newest member of our family. So, little Peanut will become an Aunt or Uncle at the ripe old age of one month. I've already decided, thanks to Brandy of Not Your Average Soccer Mom, that I will be Mimi, at least until I'm 40. That way, I won't be required to stock up on Poligrip, Depends, and nylons large enough to give me elephant ankles.

Guess What Santa Brought Us???


Yep. I'm preggers!! We found out on Christmas Eve and are overjoyed to add to our little family! We should be welcoming a mini-midget around the end of August.

A New Business Venture

Apparently, Henry and Lucy Wiener have decided to go into business. Last year, they grew one and this year, they have increased their output exponentially. This year, they've planted four tomato plants out in our dog run.



Henry Wiener told me it was Lucy Wiener's idea to start a pasta sauce company. They've decided to name it "Crappy Wiener Sauce." They expect to quadruple their efforts again next year. Since they are dogs, they've hired me to be their manager on the condition that I get all the money and continue to feed them lots of tomatoes. Pretty sweet deal, if you ask me!!

I'm BUSY!

Hopped a plane to Denver, CO
Took Midget to Open Gymnastics (total maniac)
Attended exactly 6,348,983 little league baseball games, each two hours long

Feeeeeee-yoooooooof! I'm tired just from writing this and I'm not scheduled to return until the 1st of July.

We'll return to your scheduled programming shortly, folks! Until then, here's a few pics of some of the activities.

Recipe Flop

Since I always post perfect pictures of excellent recipes (yes, I'm quite modest--or completely delusional), I thought I'd post a picture of a recent flop. After taking Midget to her first carnival on Saturday, I had a massive craving for corn dogs! But I was not ready to spend a day's worth of points to eat a soggy microwaved one at home.

By the way, here's evidence of how much Midget loved the carnival rides.










So, I jumped on the good ol' internets and tried to find a recipe for baked corn dogs. The closest I came to finding a recipe was a baked dairy-free soy corn dog--bleeeeeech!

So I attempted to do one out of my head. This was the result.


I dub thee--PUDDLE DOGS!

Do not attempt this at home, kids.

Roll Out the Red Carpet...

This week's guest judge at
is Ree Drummond a.k.a. The Pioneer Woman!! Not only can this woman cook, she is a fantastic photographer, writer, and gorgeous to boot!

I hate you. Okay, not really. But sort of...

Welcome, Ms. Drummond, to Oikology 101!! See how polite I am? I'll let you give me permission to call you Ree and then we'll be BFF's forever, okay??

So even though I have no chance of even placing, here's a rundown of why I will not win and why I might win (if by some miracle crappy photos win).

Reasons why I won't win:
1. I have no idea how to use my camera and it's a P&S. That's sad...
2. I got super lucky and inherited Photoshop 7.0 from my hubby's work, but I have no idea how to use it. I'm plodding through and trying to figure it out, but it's a MASSIVE undertaking!
3. All of my artistic talent lies in my voice. I can barely draw a circle and make it recognizeable, let alone put together beautifully composed photos.
4. When Midget laughs, her entire body spasms (wonder where she gets that from *whistle whistle*) and it is EXTREMELY difficult to get a picture of her!

Reasons why I might win:
1. My rapier wit and wicked sarcasm.
2. Midget is extremely charming and has the most fabulous personality!
3. Did I mention my rapier wit and wicked sarcasm?
4. All professional photographers, amateur photographers, hobbyist photographers, and enthusiast photographers experience internet outages and are unable to post their photos.

Yes, weak reasons to win, especially because I doubt Ms. Drummond will have time to read all eleventy billion links on iHeartFaces and will therefore have no opportunity to experience my wit or sarcasm. Although, she does seem to have superhuman skills, so I guess it's possible!

So, without further ado, Pioneer Woman--meet Midget!

Isn't it Ridiculous...


that I was finally able to put a ponytail (and a sorry one at that) in Midget's hair? She'll be two years old in four months and still barely has any hair! As you can see, she wasn't thrilled about looking like she was Alfalfa from The Little Rascals.







Remember this?? Yes, that is our new tv behind the bratster. I hate to say I told you so, but...

Fiesta!!

One of my favorite bloggity buddies, Dr. Wifey, talked about needing new dishes a few days ago. I am always quick to jump in and recommend my everyday dishware, Fiestaware, by the Homer Laughlin China Co.

We registered for eight place settings of Fiestaware for our wedding waaaaaaaaay back in 1997. Since then, I've added five place settings and various pieces of serveware. I'm even more in love with my Fiesta than I was when I chose it!

OF COURSE SHE TOOK MY ADVICE--because I am the Queen of dishware!

Have I ever told you that I have six or seven different sets of dishes?

I don't.

Okay, I do.

I used to make fun of my Mother because she had umpteen millions sets of dishes. Now I'm pretty sure I have more than she does. Ooooops!

Look how handy my multi-color Fiestaware was when we were dying eggs!















Even though it's beautiful, the Fiestaware wasn't quite able to steal the show from these two !

I'm Not Dead...

The hubster has been home for nearly two weeks now, so I'm attending to his every need (cooking, cleaning, and *ahem* everything else).

Speaking of cooking, have I mentioned that I am TWENTY-SEVEN pounds skinnier than when I started Weight Watchers four short months ago?? I am so sexy, I have to stop myself from making out with the mirror!! Bwa-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I still have more to go, but I am so happy with my progress!

I've also been busily crafting birthday presents for my niece and a friend's little boy. I can't wait to show you pictures! But, it will have to wait because I know my sis-in-law reads this blog and I don't want to ruin the surprise!

We've decided to grow a garden this year, so we've been working on designing the raised beds and containers. We ordered our seeds and plants and I can't wait to get them!! I just hope I don't kill nearly $100 worth of agriculture!

I've also been learning how to use my new camera, so you can look forward to many fantastic pictures!

For now--how about some Henry Wiener eye candy! Look at this gorgeous SOOC (straight out of camera--no editing) shot from my new camera!!

The Best Hubby EVAH!

Have I mentioned I have the best hubby ever?

Before he left for Massachusettes last week, we had a conversation that went like this:

Hubby: I have an assignment for you this week.
Me: What? (rolling eyes)
Hubby: I want you to clean your closet out.
Me: Okay. I have an assignment for you this week.
Hubby: What's that?
Me: [expletive] off.


And.....SCENE.

I couldn't help it!! He totally set himself up for it! Don't freak out on me people--he knew it was a joke.

What on earth is wrong with my closet???

Who cares if I still have all my work suits hanging up, even though it's been a full YEAR since my last day at work. And who cares if my maternity clothes are laying all over the floor, even though I haven't worn them since before Midget was born nearly EIGHTEEN MONTHS ago. AND who cares if I have four out of the five laundry baskets in the house piled with said maternity clothes and dirty clothes to wash??

Errrr, maybe I ought to clean out my closet... But, just to be a rebel, I didn't do it last week while he was gone. " )

Fast forward to Tuesday morning, when Hubby was walking out the door to go to North Carolina.

Hubby: I have another assignment for you this week.
Me: Yeeeeeah, because last week's went so well, right?? (sarcastically, of course)
Hubby: I want you to blog this week.
Me: *gasp*


AAAAAAND--Scene!

So not only did he buy me a new camera, but he wants me to blog??


Hmmmmm, methinks he's going to ask for a new TV...

My ABC's

I am such a slacker these days! It seems like I always have a million other things to do besides write a post. But, my BBF (Bestest Bloggy Friend) Deanna did this fun ABC thing and I figured it was quick enough for me to do and not lose too much sleep!

So here we go!!

A - Age: 33 and 3/4. My birthday is July 2nd. I'm giving you plenty of advance warning to get me the perfect gift!!

B - Bed size: King. And I am spoiled FOREVER now! I love my husband, but I am not a snuggler. All I want when I sleep is my own personal space. He still doesn't quite get it after almost 12 years of being married to me.

C - Chore you hate: All of them. Seriously. But toilets are the worst! BLECH

D - Dad's Name: William

E - Essential start your day item: Coffee. Buckets of it.

F - Favorite tv show?: Big Love. If you don't watch it, you need to! It is SO good!

G - Gold or Silver: I don't care if it's out of fashion--I love Yellow Gold. Always have.

H - Height: YOU NEVER ASK A LADY'S HEIGHT! What? Oh... I'm 5'5.

I - Instruments you play(ed): Violin and piano with proficiency, but in college I had to learn how to play every single instrument in order to get my Bachelor of Music. Marimba, clarinet, trumpet (which I really sucked at, but my teacher told me not to feel bad--I have a faulty embouchure), trap set (which I sucked at even worse than trumpet and I didn't have an anatomical flaw)--you name it--I learned how to play it!

J - Job title: Domestic Diva, Houseblogger, and Midget's Mom

K - Kid(s): Midget and the Wieners

L- Living arrangement: Have I told you I love my house? I love it so much! It has an open floor plan on the ground floor and small rooms upstairs (except the Master), so both hubby and I were pleased.

M - Mom's name: Same as my real name.

N - Nicknames: Carrie, Care, Care-bear, The Ice Queen, and Mouth.

O - Overnight hospital stays other than birth: None yet.

P - Pet Peeve: People who always need some sort of fake crisis going on in their lives to feel alive. I can't stand the drama!!

Q - Quotes you like: "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Thomas Jefferson Quite timely, eh??

R - Right or left handed: Right handed. A violin teacher of mine once told me to do everyday things with your non-dominant hand to help improve your dexterity. I still brush my teeth with my left hand!

S - Siblings: Three sisters and one brother--all over the country! One sister is in Houston, TX, another sister is in Helena, MT, and one sister is in Denver, CO. My younger brother is in Oklahoma City, OK.

T - Time you wake up: Whenever my screaming alarm clock named Midget wails loud enough to drag my sorry a** out of bed. Usually between 7:30 or 8:30.

U- Ultimate Dessert: I'm not a big dessert eater, though you wouldn't know it by looking at me. In fact, I can't really think of anything I really love. Do Swedish Fish count??

V - Vegetable you dislike: I don't like bell peppers or tomatoes very much, but I eat them. The only vegetable I refuse to eat is Beet Greens. GROSS!!

W - Ways you run late: Pretty much all ways and always. I am always at least 10 minutes late to everything and if I tell someone I am always 10 minutes late, then I'm 10 minutes late past the 10 minutes late I was already going to be! Speaking of late, I still haven't sent out the interview questions to the people who said "interview me." I haven't forgotten--I'm just doing it on "Carrie" Time.

X - X-rays you've had: In 8th grade, I broke my collarbone skiing. That's the only X-ray I've ever had.

Y - Yummy food you make: I love to cook, so I make lots of good stuff!

Z - Zoo Animal: Have you ever watched the seals snort? It's terrifically entertaining!


Okay, so now it's your turn to do your ABC's!! Play along if you want--I won't break your knuckles if you don't.

I'm So Boring...

Gah...

I've been racking my brain to come up with something interesting for y'all to read, but I've come up dry.

I haven't cooked or baked anything interesting lately.

I haven't sewn anything lately.

I haven't canned anything lately.

I haven't done anything new to my house lately.

I haven't done any exciting crafts with or without the Midget lately.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been quite boring lately.

Basically this is what I've been doing lately.

Late Night with Lula!

***Sorry to those of you who hate word verification, but I got 33 spam comments yesterday. I'll turn it off in a few days***

Have y'all met Lula yet?? If not, you need to go visit her. I promise, you'll be happy you did! I always get a good giggle out of her and her Jason Statham obsession. Do you think she'd disown me if she knew that I'd never heard of him until I starting reading her blog? And that I still haven't seen any of his movies??

When she offered to interview me, I jumped at the chance to answer her questions!!

Except that she sent me the questions two weeks ago. But that's just how I work people. Have I ever mentioned that I'm pretty much always ten minutes late for everything?

So to avoid further delays, I'd better get started and just answer the dang questions before I find another excuse to put it off!

Everyone is blessed with a talent of some sort. How are you gifted, and do you use your talent often?

Gee, I don't know! There's so many things I'm good at! **Name that movie**

God gave me one of my talents--singing. I tried to find a way to actually upload some of my singing from back in the day, but I don't own a VCR or a cassette player. It's only been ten years since I've had any recordings done, but the technology is so outdated! Someday, I'll figure it out and get some put up for those of you who've asked.

I only sing for fun these days. I sang 24/7 in college and then spent five years as a Church Choir Conductor and Director of Music. I also sang in three different choirs during that same five years. Quite frankly, I'm glad to be away from all the drama that always seems to accompany singing.

My other talent came from my Daddy--my rapier wit and wicked sarcasm. A HA HA HAAAA

And that, my friends, I use pretty much every day.

Here's my favorite picture in the whole world of my Dad. Make sure you click on the picture to enlarge it. You need to see the look on his face in detail.


I'd never seen it until after he died in 2004 and we were looking through pictures for the photo boards. I laughed and cried and laughed and cried some more. The world became a less funny place when he died...



You have an entire day to do whatever you'd like, by yourself. Explain your perfect day scenario.

First of all, can I pleeeeeease just hang out with someone?? I get enough alone time as it is and I am a major extrovert. You're surprised that I'm an extrovert, aren't you? There. I've used my sarcasm for today.


So that being said, I would grab my brother Rusty and head down to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. He's the only other person I know that loves roller coasters as much as I do and they have SO many great coasters! We'd ride the roller coasters all day long and eat disgustingly delicious fattening food. Then we'd meet back up with our families and our other siblings and Mom (because in a perfect day scenario gathering people from all over the country is easy) and have dinner and stay up late talking and laughing.



Name three people, living or dead, you'd love to invite to a dinner party at your home, as well as what you'd serve for the meal.

That's easy. Jesus, Ronald Reagan, and Bette Midler. I think those three would make for some lively debates and lots of giggles!


Do I really need to explain why I'd invite Jesus? He's, by far, the most influential person that has ever lived. EVER! I'd love to learn from him firsthand! Not to mention, through his death, I will achieve everlasting life! What a cool guy!!










Oh Ronnie, what happened to good old conservatives like you? All we're left with are RINO's and whiners. You are, and always will be, my political hero.










What can I say about Bette? She's an amazing singer and a fantastic actress. Plus, I'm pretty sure she's loads of fun! I'm willing to risk one of my choices to find out!

For dinner, I suppose I'd need to study up and make some crazy Jewish food since Bette and the J-Man are Jewish and I'm not sure if either keep kosher. For Ronnie, I'd be sure to have some Jelly Bellies handy, but I'm pretty sure he'd eat whatever I made for him. He's just sweet that way!



You've been given a time machine, specifically for the purpose of going back and talking to yourself at the age of eighteen. What would you say to yourself? What advice would you dispense?

You really should flaunt your body a little bit more. I know you think you're pudgy, but you aren't. It's the last time you're going to be skinny for ten-plus years. And that's about it...

Share your favorite childhood memory.

Have I ever told you about the joke we played on my brother when I was six or seven?

My sister, Ellie, had a friend over and we concocted a plan to scare my brother.
Ellie and I pretended we were fighting and she threw me over the stairs. Her friend caught me just a few steps down, but I rolled down the stairs and pretended like I fell all the way down.

Then I played dead. I was a fantastic actress, you know! Just like Bette!!

Ellie called my brother over and told him she'd killed me and we needed to have a funeral before Mom and Dad got home or they'd be mad. My brother was only five at the time, so he was devastated and scared about getting in trouble.

Ellie and her friend picked me up and we all went into the chapel. Yes, it was connected to my home and yes, there were caskets in my basement, just like in the movie My Girl.

They laid me on a casket holder and covered me up with artificial grass carpet (not sure why we had that in particular, but that's what they used).

Ellie stood up at the podium and said a few brief words. "God, we're so sorry we killed Carrie." She went back and got Rusty to bring him up to say goodbye to me. She also told him that he had to kiss me goodbye, which he didn't want to do.

When he leaned over to kiss me, I jumped up and screamed! I've never seen my brother run so fast! He went up and locked himself in our parent's room until we could convince him that it all was a joke.

He probably still has issues from that incident, but it was so funny!

And that pretty much sums up the world of children that grow up living in a funeral home...


Sooooooooo...Want to be interviewed by me??

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me." Make sure I have your email address!!
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Come on! Give me a chance to grill you!!! I'm pretty sure you'll have at least two weeks to prepare. hehe

Did I Mention....

that I am now a mother-in-law? At the ripe old age of 33 folks.















My Stepson came back after Christmas and was supposed to be bringing his fiance. Well, instead he showed up with his WIFE! I'm happy for the newlyweds and pray for their continued love, devotion, and understanding of each other.

But could you just wait to have kids until I'm at least old enough to actually have a grandchild? Like at least another 7 years. A 40-year old grandmother can be a hot grandma, but any younger and it's just "huh?"

I'm really not above begging.

Really.

Really, really...

An Open Letter to Mr. Clean

Dear Mr. Clean,

For a few months, you graced the upper right corner of this very page, touting the magic of an eraser. Your rippling muscles and shiny polished head never failed to draw my adoring eyes back to this blog again and again. Trust me, I never had clean thoughts about you.

But here's the thing. While I was spending time watching you flash that brilliant grin, I wasn't getting any cleaning done. The strain you have caused on my marriage has been great. And to make it even worse, I began to see you pop up on other blogs underneath a little BlogHer sign, you CHEATER! I was totally going to break the whole thing off with you.

But then, you disappeared and haven't been back since...*sob*

Go ahead, stay away, for all I care! You may return to my blog on one condition--come back and announce the Magic Bathroom Cleaner. And I'm not talking that silly Shower Cleaner those little bubbles think is so great. I'm talking toilet scrubbing, floor mopping, mirror wiping, sink washing, soap scum removing sort of "magic," m'kay?

Until then, you and those sultry white eyebrows can go dazzle some other unsuspecting blogger. Unless you really want to come back...

Dirty hugs and kisses,

Carrie

Husbands are Irritating...

First, have you entered the GIVEAWAY yet?!?! Only one more day left and it's a doozy!!

So Amy at Living Locurto has asked us to share something that our husband won't get rid of that irritates us.

Well, considering that I am quite persuasive, my husband doesn't have anything left that I didn't like! But here are some items I have made him dispose of.

First, the pickup he drove when we met in 1993. This isn't the exact pickup, but it is close. It was a brown 1984 Nissan pickup with a flatbed. The bed had rusted out, so my husband made a flatbed on the back. It had a gold cattle guard on the front and was just ugly. Seriously, this guy is lucky I still fell in love with him when he showed up with it on our first date.









Next was his embarrasingly large collection of bolo ties. I laughed and laughed and laughed when I saw them. Then they miraculously disappeared. I'm such a bi**h sometimes, it's sad...















And finally, his GI-NOCEROUS snaggletooth. In the little town he grew up in, the only dentist they could get to come in was a quack. Honestly, he was a quack! No dental license or training! I would have asked to see his diploma after he put that monstrosity in my mouth, wouldn't you?? It was almost an inch longer than his other tooth and wasn't even close to the right color.















So just to even the score, I'll show you something that really pisses my husband off about me--giant boxes of random stuff!

This first box is full of random clothes, a dog purse (carrier), some little shelves, a few books, and some other random items. If you look closely at the book, you'll see it's called, "It's All Too Much. An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff," by Peter Walsh, who Amy wrote about a few days ago. Guess I haven't read the book yet, huh?












Oooooh, look at that cute scarf! That's going upstairs with me!















Next is a box of stuff that I pulled out of my Chevy Malibu when I wrecked it in January of 2007. Ummm, yeah, that's pretty embarassing...















And this one, which is filled with small plastic bags from the bank I worked at. What could possibly be in those bags? Hmmmmm, various body sprays, pictures, and what?? Awesome! I forgot about these too!! I bought them for a special event we had at our bank, but I'll get lots of good use out them, starting right now!













This is my Ronald McDonald scary clown look.









Hello, Bride of Frankenstein!! Does your hubby have a snaggletooth?









This my Tina Turner "what's love got to do with it" look.








Scary Goth Girl. Actually that one's kinda cute...








Can you say, Redneck Mullet??






And finally...



My Cher impersonation. I know! I TOTALLY look like her!!!

Happy Halloween!!



Yay! Tip Junkie is doing another Talk to Me Tuesday with Mr. Linky!




AND The Lazy Organizer is doing a Halloween Talk About Tuesday!

After reading Kat's post about Halloween, I dug through boxes of (very unorganized) photos to see if I could find a few pictures of some crazy Halloween costumes I had made. I dug for two hours, but could only find one picture of a few of my crazy costumes.

This costume was from 1994 and I was a Pumpkin Troll. Remember them? Let me refresh.














There was a troll doll for everything! Cheerleader Troll, Basketball Player Troll, Chef Troll, Zebra Troll, S & M Troll...Okay, they didn't have an S & M Troll. OR DID THEY??? You go ahead and research that. On to the costume!



















People could not believe that was my hair and not a wig. Trust me, it was my hair and I had the snarls for a week to prove it! It would have been a great time to start my dreadlock (that would be in the singular because I only have enough hair to have one).

Tonight, I am taking the midget over to a friend's house for chili (and Pumpkin Pie Martinis courtesy of moi) before we go trick-or-treating.

By the way, here's bumblebee midget. Isn't she too cute for words? And yes, she was not real pleased at her mommie, hence the puffy eyes, red nose, and snotty face. Oh well, it's cute anyway!

Stay Tuned!!

I'm almost back in the land of the living! I'll see you soon!

Here's a Sneak Peek at a post for tomorrow evening. Guesses anyone?
