cold day, 1-22-13

so today was a cold day - 31 wind chill and NMU was closed today :) 3 college students & 1 NMU employee were EXTREMELY happy about this. NHS was cancelled last night so Aubri was already in the clear.

Here is what i got accomplished:

• slept til 10:30 am (i had been at the ER with aubri until 12:15 last night so i was praying for a cold day)
• went to the grocery store, bought fruit for juicing and chicken for Tyler for lunch
• stopped and filled up with gas
• ran to Meyers to check on some samples for tyler
• tyler juiced (apple, orange, lemon & broccoli) & aubri juiced (2 oranges, 1 lemon & 1 inch ginger)
• ran to my neighbors to bring him wood to cut for the loom i am making
• did some mending
• made some blonde roast coffee (Starbuck beans) and it is GOOD
• laundry
• started t-shirt quilt, laid out all the squares, sewed 2 rows
• subway for dinner
• drank a diet pepsi
• lysine & abreva because i am getting an effing cold sore
• made Sheena & Tyler take Echinachea 
• steven came home feeling like he was going to throw up
• watch Prison Break with Tyler
• even though aubri has an upper resp. infection she worked on cleaning her bedroom. She did an AMAZING job and her room is perfect!

sheena

magnets she brought back for me from costa rica

 i bought sheena a loom (to make hats & scarves) for christmas and i picked out the yarn on the right. She was allowed to open 1 present so i gave her the loom to open. She went shopping and picked out the yarn on the left. When she opened the rest of her presents we were laughing because of the color i had gotten her. Of all the colors of yarn in the world we both pick the same, i guess i know my girl :)

purse

my dear friends guido & marion sent me this from germany

this is the town i lived in while we were stationed in Germany. I have seen these all over the world but this is my favorite by far and i absolutely love it !

goulash

i don't really have a recipe for this. Stew meat that i coated in flour & spices before cooking in a little oil, Jägersoße, can of peas & carrots, can of rotel (ground up in the magic bullet), corn starch to thicken.

served over rice, i thought it was good!
