cabbage rolls

On tonight's menu:
Cabbage Rolls. or Porcupine Eggs, I think that's what dad calls them for some reason... Last time I made them the cabbage wouldn't stay on. Let's see if it works better tonight, I hate having to put toothpicks in and then search for them before we eat.

Nevermind. I just looked up the recipe and it takes two hours to bake. I'll be at work in two hours. Looks like they'll be in the crockpot tomorrow.

Rolled up and waiting in the fridge. It's going to stiiiiiiiiiiink at my house tomorrow....
 

Also, I LOVE the weather right now. It's all dark and grey and gloomy. The leaves fell off the trees all over town this weekend. Feels and looks like winter but without the subzero temps of up north :)

Time to type another paper or two before B&BWorks...

Thanksgiving "Vacation"

Thanksgiving 2010:
Kedzie, Axel and I headed to Overton. I always feel so bad leaving Bella at home but she's just so unpleasant when we get anywhere... We got to see Rhonda and Ellie, and Lance, Johnna, Jalayne, Bryant and Amber. It was such a nice change from the day to day blahness of St. George. Kedzie hung out with Bryant and got to know him better, looks like we'll be heading to Albuquerque next time we're up for a roadtrip :)
We headed home Thursday night so I could be up bright and early for Black Friday. Nope, not shopping. I have zero dollars. I got to work at B&BWorks @ 6am, followed up with TCPlace at 4. That place was a freaking nightmare. I left at 12:30 and the place still wasn't closed. Exhausting. Now I just wait for more shifts... So much for rent money, I work two days a week :(

No more complaining. Positive points today:
1. I got Kedzie's christmas present 50% off at ACE.
2. I got an awesome new Cranberry Woods candle.
3. I made peanut butter cupcakes.
4. Weeds on Netflix :)
5. I can sleep in tomorrow (kind of) before tons of homework and work at 6pm.

No corresponding pic, but here's my favorite of Axel.

Oh man. You'd think I could post once in a while considering the amount of time I spend on the computer avoiding homework...

Cabinet Re-do

I've been wanting to re-do a cabinet in the pretty blue and glaze. (And to have an active blog ;) )
I finally found a cheap cabinet with lots of detail at DI for $10 and got to work...
Here it is in all of it's dark, ugly glory:



And primed...


Here it is bright blue and waiting for glaze...


One drawer glazed and one plain blue:


Drawers done:



Kedzie helped... :(



And done!



I love it so much and can't wait to live somewhere it can be front and center of attention instead of being stuck in a corner!

bipolar kitten

so, Bella got fixed last week. Since she's a little bipolar this didn't go so well. When I went to pick her up they said "Oh, you're Bella's mom..." Damn. I forgot about her bipolar episodes... She slapped one lady in the face and bit another. They had to get her out of her cage with that noose looking thing they use on alligators! my poor poor baby :(

lame lame LAME

:( I wish I could make that frowny face bigger. St. George blows.
