Ahhh

So we all know leif wants a better job before we have a baby, and he was on the right track too. This darn shutdown has the job he wants on a hiring freeze so we have to wait even longer for babies now. Ahhhh.

Ladies night

Once a week while leif works I hang out with my mom and sisters. Well this week its ladies night to the extreme.  We are going on a casino boat for fun and gambling.  I'm going with a 30 dollar limit and that includes the money to get in. It should be fun. We are going with some odd and new friends.  Wish us luck.

motivation

we keep trying to go on a diet and it lasts about 3 days. we keep trying to eat better and its for one meal out of 3. I keep wanting to exercise but I never want to put in the work. we need a goal and I can t get one good enough for us to try.  we lost weight when we had a bet and the loser had to pay for universal studios tickets. that worked great. we lost weight when we were going on a cruise that work wonders. but now when I say lets lose weight so I'm not a fat pregnant woman we cant get motivated. we have my sisters wedding coming up we could lose weight for that but its not a big deal so we don't feel the need to work out. man we are so lazy. I really don't know how we function day to day and don't just lay down on the floor somewhere and say I'm done for the day Ill take a nap now. we will find a good motivation someday, maybe we need to find an active couple to play games with. someone just invited us to play volleyball with her and her husband but we already had plans. maybe all of our day dates should be something like that, to keep us moving. I know, I've got it. we will just pay someone to follow us around yelling hey fatty all the time and I'm sure we will drop some weight in no time.

Freezer bag meals

Since we are not losing any weight because of our lazy eating habits, I found a butter solution then eating fast food. Freezer meals. I tried looking on pinterest but all the freezer meals were complicated and had stuff that we don't like in them, so I made up two of my own freezer meals.

Easy chicken pot pie
Boiled chicken-shredded
Peas
Carrots
Cream of chicken and mushroom soup
Cheddar cheese

Mix them all together and freeze. When you are ready to cook them thaw and place in baking dish. Add the bisquick on top and bake.

So easy and great for lazy cooks.

Easy chicken tacos or enchiladas

Boiled chicken-shredded
Corn
Beans

Mix together and freeze. When ready grab  tortillas and sauce (taco or enchilada) thaw bag. saute to warm up for tacos or wrap in tortillas with cheese and sauce for enchiladas.  Add your own extras, like avocados to the tacos or peppers to the enchiladas.

Both super fast and easy. Happy eating

Baby shower

My sister is having her baby shower today for baby jackson. So exciting.  We made a diaper cake for her. Pictures to come later. In less than a month we will have our first boy in the family. Well my side anyways. Leifs side has all boys and my side has all girls. Everyone have a good day. Sorry it was short and sweet today.

thankful

you know those days when you watch the news, watch a movie or witness something in everyday life and think about how lucky you are. well today was one of those days.  most days people don't look around at their life and realize how fortunate they are. whenever I remember to I like to take a second and say a little thank you for everything in my life, from my husband, dog and family to our house, cars and jobs. we aren't really religious. its nothing against it, we mostly don't believe in churches. we have never had any luck with finding one that didn't preach to a bunch of hypocrites. regardless we both believe in a higher power and karma, so every time you think about you are say a little thank you to anyone up there and hope that you can keep all the love in your life. now since I don't normally say things like this and I feel a little weird writing this I will add a penny for your thoughts to make you laugh.
god must love stupid people; he made so many. (story of my work place most days)

calm day

we are enjoying a nice day off so far. we paid all of our bills and ate lunch, and now I'm making a carrot cake to take to my parents house for dinner with them tonight. they are making stuffed burgers with fat fries for us so we are taking care of dessert. after dinner we normally play games so wish us luck with that because we usually play couples verse couples.  all in all a nice calm day. I gave leif  a hair cut and now he is playing his way too offensive game while I work on my book. im very happy with how its coming along so far. still a lot of writing and filling in gaps to go but I will be happy once I get the whole story down then I can go back and add in what I forgot or add details where I need to. I just really want to get a rough draft done then I can go back a fix everything. my cakes are beeping at me so im off.
