Another Moment With Milo..

It's my birthday!  My very first one!  My momma and daddy said we are going to have a fun day, just like we did on Emmy's birthday!  I can't wait.  I'm getting sooo big!  I wonder what we are going to do!  I can't even imagine all the fun we are going to have.  I'm going to be dreaming of squeaky toys and balls and stuffed animals all night long!  Momma even took the day off work tomorrow so we could have fun.  How great is that?!  I think that's pawsome!

That's me, taken on my birthday!  It's today!  It's my birthday!  Woof!

Ohhh Yeah..

Ohh but I was a happy camper today when I ran upon these!  I almost did a happy dance right there in the store!  Lol.  Took them to work and my co-workers did a little happy dance right there in the call center floor.  Then, I tried one. Gotta say, it disappointed me a little.  : (..  I kinda expected something like a candy apple sucker without the big honkin stick poking out of it.  These weren't hard shelled with a creamy center, they were chewy with the apple-y center.  Sigh..  Just not what I expected.  Lol.  Guess I'll stick with the suckers with the sticks.

Love this song...

Despite all of the problems he had, or brought upon himself, that man could sing and dance.  : (..  I won't go into whether I believe all of the allegations leveled against him were true or false, because I have my opinions.  I will just enjoy his music for a while...

What's for dinner tonite?

I'm making crockpot bbq chicken.  Put frozen chicken breasts in crockpot.  In a small bowl, combine 1 bottle of bbq sauce (forgot to include that in the pic, lol), 1/4 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.  Cook on low 4-6 hours.  Remove chicken when done and shred with two forks.  Serve on buns, hard rolls or hoagie buns. (Pinterest wins again for the main course..)

I'm going to top it off with my super ez, super yummy sweet potato fries, which is my submission for DebbieDoo's Newbie party this week.  Check out her site here.  She's great!  : )..

Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.  Peel the sweet potato if you want to, I usually don't.  Cut into steak fry strips.  Put in a gallon baggie, drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil over the fries, sprinkle with garlic salt.  Shake or rub the fries to evenly coat with the mixture.  Spread the fries out in a single layer on a cookie sheet.  Cook for 25 minutes, turning once.  Serve with ranch dressing.  They are sooo good.  : )..  I can hardly wait!

Sunday dinner..

Made some super ez and yummy pork steaks for dinner tonite.  Took the steaks and dipped them in some egg and rolled them in a combo of bread crumbs and onion soup mix, then baked them in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, turning once.  Sorry that the pic is blurry and they are a little messy looking.  Lol.  They were pretty tasty so it made up for all that.

Made some boxed mac and cheese to go along with it.  It was good in a pinch.

And topped it all off with someone else's home grown 'maters that we bought a couple days ago.

I love sliced 'maters in the summer time.  I will miss them and watermelon..  And bing cherries.  : ). Ahh.  Fall.  It has been hard to tell that it's Fall and already October here in KC because we have still been in the 80's this week.  This should be the last few days though.  I'm hoping we can keep the 70's until Spring.  Lol.  Sigh.  I'm just hoping that we don't get a snow like we did last year, it was over 20 inches!  Yikes.  I am soooo not looking forward to snow.  Blech. But!  In the meantime!  We still have 'maters!  Yay!  Yummy!

Saturday Relaxation..

Whew..

After an early, long, eight hour day at work muddling through mostly inbound calls, all I want is a quiet, peaceful night at home...  Whew..  Chinese for dinner..  : )..  Love crab rangoon..  Puppies fed and happy, cats fed and happy, spouse snoozin in front of the tv..  Looks like I am alllmost there..  Yay!

I love Lorraine..  Mo Collins is awesome..  : )..

More fun with captions.. : )..

Ha! Great captions..

 And then..  My absolute favorite one.  Lol!

Comment issues.. Hmm..

I seem to be having intermittent comment issues.  Argh.  I try and respond to someone's comments and when I go to enter and save mine, whoosh!  Gone.  Nuttin.  Nada.  Like I haven't typed anything at all.  I have gotten smart and started copying my blurb before trying to save it again, but sometimes, that doesn't help because I can try and save it over and over and over again with the same no comment result.  Not sure if this is a blogger wide issue, or if it is just something with me.  I have gone on other blogs and tried to leave comments, only to have the same issue.  Sooo, if you leave me a comment and I'm not responding to it, please know that I am definitely trying to.  Lol. 

And, my case in point, I was trying to respond to Wendy regarding my Yum Mee! post..  : )..  Thanks Wendy!  I am soooo not a roast fan, but that one was sooo good.  I have found most of the crockpot recipes on Pinterest.com (luv, luv, luv Pinterest).  Most of the ones I have made have turned out really well.  Thanks for stopping by!  I tried leaving one about your Door Pictures, what a great idea for that area.  And I don't think they look small for that area if you look at the relative size of everything else in the picture.  : )..  Great job!
