My life as of late...(with pictures)

Has involved alot of challenges. Getting back into school is becoming difficult and it's only week 2. All of my "free time" has become homework time. I'm picking up longer hours at work to make up for time when I'm in school. My life just went from 30 to 120 in 5 days. To say I'm exhausted is like telling a child in Ethiopia that they look hungry. I've spent the last 2 days in the ER with Mr. P and they can find NOTHING wrong with him, but he's still "sick".

I've done a few meals and desserts, but only took a few pictures. We've taken to eating quickly and not caring what it is. Mostly me, I hate cooking for one.

Mr. P's basketball cupcakes :)

Hope ya'll are having a fun week! I do still check my email when I get time, so feel free to send me a quick note. I do get breaks at school :)

So busy, how do you do it? Splinter DVD

 I have so much to do and not enough time in a day. I'd do it all today, but most of everything I have to do involves food, so it would go bad. I am horrible at time management :/ Since 3rd grade, my teachers have told my parents how smart I am, but I wait until the last second to get things done. For school it doesn't bother me, I work well under pressure, but everything else gives me a heart attack! 
I have cupcakes to bake (brownies too!) and a 3 tiered cake to transform, shopping to do, cleaning, decorating oh and don't forget working :( I considered taking the rest of the week off but I really like getting a paycheck.

I also have a dr. appt today. I feel like a lab rat, constantly being poked and prodded and it's at my lovely girly doctor so I will be propped up on a table, legs spread. Ahhh, the joy of being a woman!

Last night we watched Splinter, it was a total miss, but after 45 minutes of watching it, we decided to just finish it.

I give it 2 out of 5 stars. It wasn't great, it wasn't even good, but once we started it we managed to finish it. That usually doesn't happen. It's a decent Halloween movie, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There was a line in the movie that I have to share though. The girl's bf is cutting off the infected guy's arm and she says "It's ok, we are just cutting off your arm." So that was the tone for most of the movie, LOL. They kept doing things that you know are stupid, but you know someone is gonna make it somehow. It was pretty gross, so skip it if you have a weak stomach.

I'm BACK!

From the weekend :) I had an extremely busy weekend. My weekend started out bad, I met my mom for dinner and within minutes of getting home was sick. :( I have no idea if it was the food, or something else but it was not a good night. I woke up Saturday, unsure of how I was feeling. While I took a shower, I came out to find the little devil dogs had chewed my favorite pair of heels :( 

It's hard to stay mad at that face...

I spent most of the day shopping, trying to find those exact shoes, in my size which I did!!!!They were $25 at Target and totally worth it, but now I have to break in the new pair. I also scooped up a few shirts off the clearance rack, 3 shirts for $20, what a steal! They will all be for work I'm sure.

My friend came over with my godson and we split a bottle of arbor mist (sangria) and some garlic dip with pita bread. 

It was a funny afternoon where we tried to watch accidental husband. The movie was pretty crappy but the wine made it better, we had a hard time following the story though...

Mr. P came home early from work and we went to the movies and saw Dinner for Schmucks. It was funny and tons of chuckle moments, but not a great movie, in my opinion. I'm not sure why, but I expected something more memorable you know?

Sunday was shop til you drop day :) I bought a ton of Halloween decorations and crafts. This week I'm going to do a couple tutorials for a Fall Leaf Wreath, a Scary Halloween sign and Halloween subway art. I feel like I've been bitten by the craft bug! I made an attempt at spice cake mini-pumpkins but the cakes got stuck to the pan and didn't turn out. Instead I made cupcakes and dusted them with the orange sugar. We will do a second try next weekend.

Mr. P put together my kitchen last night! I'm so happy I have a functioning kitchen again. Then we watched Abandoned which was Brittany Murphy's last movie. Throughout the movie Mr. P kept saying how she looked like crap and now I think it's cuz she died during production so they had to use a computer program to edit last minute scenes or something. The movie wasn't great, it had Dean Cain in it who used to be Superman when it was on TV, if anyone ever used to watch it.

Mimi Rogers was in it, but had a smallish side part. Overall I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. Not great but not horrible.

Now to catch up on what everyone else did this weekend!!

I will be posting a super easy pork chop dinner tutorial later today. I made it for dinner last night while my kitchen was being put back together. I make it at least once a week. I need to upload the pictures and get it all set up.

Enjoy your Monday!!
