Dinner x 2

I had a lot of stuff this afternoon so I thought I would be on top of things and throw something together in the crockpot before I left. Now, I'm not that great at using my crockpot. I just don't have any good recipes I suppose, and tonight was proof of that. After browsing through several recipes online I found one that I had all the ingredients for, and quickly put it all together before having to pick Kiya up from school.

Upon returning home at 6:00 I was so excited to have dinner already to go, but then I walked in my house. OH it smelled disgusting, and looked even worse. It was just some chicken and ham and swiss cheese and other things that shouldn't have been so fowl smelling, but man oh man it was bad. We didn't even take one bite, but it has been my experience that things usually taste like they smell and I wasn't about to eat that.

Out came the grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. I usually like cooking, but it definitely isn't my favorite thing to do twice in one night.

2011

I'm not a goal kind of person. I can set them but then a week or two later they are forgotten. So this year I'm going to keep it simple.

1) Spend less time reading everyone else's blogs and spend more time writing on my own blog. (It's the only journaling I do, so I HAVE to be better)

2) Love more! I've decided that I have always thought of myself first and others last, and it's about time that changed. If I do that I think I'll love spending time with my kids more and be a better wife. Hopefully.

3) Make a budget and stick to it. I can't afford not to. I have a fabric addiction lately, and it is so hard for me to not buy fabric to quilt with.

Cheers to a great year.
