Spolier Alert for One For The Money!



Hi Everyone!!! Just got back from seeing One For The Money..ya not worth it :( pretty bummed..I absolutely love the books ..ALL but Stephanie Plums character pretty much don't fit the books..Ranger is not hot or buffed or mysterious blah! Hate that..even LULA! hello! she wears petite clothes and shes extra plus size..sheesh! not in the movie she wears normal clothes ..so silly!!! ugh! It could have been way better..so disappointed! ..O well! sorry about the spoiler but I love BOOKS and I hate when they destroy characters that work just to suit themselves ...
My Friday Funny is of course Rocks ..my baby :) I hope he brings a smile to your face when you see him :) ...well I am off to the doctors later and hopefully headed to my mom's tomorrow to sew all day..whoo hoo! plus my dad is barbecuing O YUM!!!
Have a awesome weekend!!!!
Thank You!!! Come Again!!!!

P.S the winner of the surprise blog candy is Sheila! I took a picture of the slip with your name on it but forgot to upload it to my blog..but it was Sheila :) ..I'll find you

Candied Jalapenos :)


Hi Everyone!!! well yesterday was the first day of my workouts, yep workouts. I'm trying to get 3 in for the day..let's see running 4 miles every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Elliptical for 5 minutes plus one extra minute a day (thank you Brandy) so today will be 6 minutes and so on :) and P90! and try to eat the right foods constantly which is hard but with WW and the food journal it makes it a little bit easier :) ..so I'm late in posting because yep I HURT! :) ...I will be back tomorrow with a card though :) ..I wanted to show you what Tim and I did together a couple of months ago ..We canned!!! wow it was kinda hard because we didn't have the proper tools..sheesh lesson learned but we had fun doing it..These little babies are Candied Jalapenos..I will share the link on how to make them..COWBOY CANDY....the only thing I would do different is add in way more heat because these little babies have the SWEET down and just a hint of heat..they are good on Hot Dogs but not on Hamburgers :) ..I hope you try it out for yourself ...Have an awesome night and can you believe the next BL is on tonight!!! sheesh!
