Slumpity Slump Slump

I am caught in such a slump in my life!  I feel like I am more stressed out and unhappy with things in my life than I have been in a long time.  And it's so weird b/c I really have a lot going for me and a lot of great opportunities coming my way in the next month or so.  But for some reason I can't shake this feeling.  :( 

I think I need a vacation from life...  And I need to book a plane to Florida for at least a week so I can lay on the beach and get my brain back on track!  Any donations would be greatly appreciated!  lol 

I'm hoping that by the end of this week things might start to look better and that April might not be AS stressfull. 

Love & miss you all! 

NO MORE SICKNESS

Dear Mom & Dad,

Please get better soon!  I miss hanging out with you and talking to you everyday. 

Love always, your selfish daughter,

Caity.  :)

PS-you guys are the best!

It's About That Time Again....

I have gone through 2 boxes of tissues close to this, half a box of Mucinex, at least 6 tablets of Mucinex DM, 4 or 5 cans of chicken noodle soup, and a little less than half a bottle of knock off Nyquil...It's flu & cold season!!!!  lol  So I've been sick for about a week now but I start to feel like I'm getting over the hump of this dang thing!  :)

Because I have been sicky I have been either in my bed or on the couch for a WEEK...other than the time I'm at work.  So yesterday when I felt like I had a LITTLE energy, I decided to get out all my scrapbook stuff and go through it.  This isn't a HUGE project considering I don't have that much scrapbook stuff but boy o boy did I have a lot of JUNK!  I found all of my bridal shower and wedding cards...AKWARD!   I found a card from my 6th grade "boyfriend" Austin.  That made me laugh.  I found a TON of mushy cards from Chad from when we first met.  AND I found a bunch of awards I received in grade school.  Needless to say I threw away the "junk" and I set down to finish my cheerleading scrapbook.  I didn't even get close to finishing but it was fun!  In the mix of all the cheerleading pics I found, I found this picture of Darcie Odom & I after the Blink 182 concert (I think I was in 10th or 11th grade!!!!  lol.  What a fun time reminiscing!

Movie Review!!!

Along Came Polly
***** 5 Stars
My Review:  I saw this movie when it first came out in 2004 but recently watched it again this weekend with Shawn.  We were rolling on the ground laughing!  Ok, not literally but whatever!  I love Jennifer Aniston & Ben Stiller!  It was a good stay in date night movie! 

Cop Out
**** 4 Stars
My Review: The story line was EXTREMELY corny but the actor's were hilarious!  The beginning was a little slow moving but for the most part the one liners were off the chart funny!

Chicken Roll Ups

Mom gave me a new cook book for Christmas & I have yet to try any new recipes until yesterday...Chicken roll ups!  Boy were they good!  I took a picture but it looked pretty gross in the pic so I opted NOT to put the picture up.  lol.

Chicken Roll Ups

-3 oz. Cream Cheese softened
-2 1/2 tablespoons Butter melted
-2 ct. chicken breats chopped and cooked through
-Salt & Pepper
-2 cans cresent rolls
-chopped onion
-crushed croutons
(I added chopped bacon..cooked with chicken in a skillet.  And I left out the chopped onion b/c shawn hates onions and every other veggie in the world!  lol)
-Makes 4 servings (I got about 7 servings out of the receipe.  Most likely b/c I had an EPIC FAIL with the cresent rolls...read below)

Pre-heat oven to 350.  Take 2 cresent rolls and press the seams together (to make a larger cresent roll).  Mix cream cheese, butter, chicken, and bacon together.  Spoon a good amount of mixture onto open cresent roll.  Fold cresent roll up.  Add extra melted butter to top of cresent roll and sprinkle crushed croutons on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes.  I did exactly 25 minutes and it was perfect!

**So apparently I am cresent roll folding handicap!  I didn't understand the cresent roll directions AT ALL.  So I winged it.  LOL.  Some of the Chicken Roll Ups ended up being in a triangle shape, some were completely deformed, and some looked like a roll.  Regardless of how they looked they were amazing and really tasty!  And Shawn liked them...if he likes something then I know I did well.  :)  The only thing I will do different next time is add about a half a can of cream of chicken soup into the mixture to give it more of a saucy texture inside the cresent roll.  I made mashed potatoes for Shawn's side and zuccini, squash, and onion's in a frying pan for me.**

If anyone has some tips on how exactly to "fold up" a cresent roll, please feel free to comment! 

Movie Review

Law Abiding Citizen
***** 5 Stars
My Review: Wow, this movie was intense and a little too gory for my liking but the story line was incrediable.  Gerard Butler, may I add, is an amazing actor and very easy on the eyes!  lol.  I would recommend this movie only to those with a strong stomach and a strong liking for suspense.  :)

Swing Vote
***** 5 Stars
My Review: I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a kid movie but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I did bawl during parts of the movie though.  lol.  The underlying theme of the movie is being true to yourself and who you really are.  Awesome movie I though, but they do drop the S bomb and D bomb a lot.

Four 4Hour Classes + Studying + Test= 100%

Last night was my last Prime for Life class...the traffic violation class.  We did have to take a test at the end of class and ms. awesomeness (me) got a 100%!!!  I cannot begin to explain how happy I am that the class is over and all this other crap is almost done with as well!  Only $100 more bucks to the court and come May I will have my own whip & a new license picture!  lol

GO ME, GO ME, GO ME! 

Starting to Come Together

Hey Leslie, Julie, & Allison!  This post is mainly for you guys considering I put a ton of pressure on ya'll to take updated pics of the kids and send them to me.  Since I know everyone is super busy, I ended up just stealing pics from facebook and photobucket!  lol. 

Above are the photo's I stole...they are all located above the fire place.  Mom & Dad got me that pink flower for V-day so I had to show it off!  :) 

Love you guys!!!  I'll post some more pics of the house when I hang some more pics and such.

HAPPY [belated] VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

So not too much of a Valentine's day or weekend.  Shawn & I both work most of the weekend and althought with all this working we are doing you'd think we'd have some extra cash...nope!  lol.  Between Shawn's car, school, and other bills and my new apartment, utilities, and other bills, we just couldn't find the reasoning behind wasting money on an over rated Holiday.  I mean, if you really love someone, you should show that person everyday how much you love them!  Not just because someone said that we should celebrate it on February 14th!

Anyway-we didn't want to spend money so instead, I made a delish brunch of french toast WITH powdered sugar.  Shawn then took me to the mall so I could spend some of the giftcards he got me for Christmas.  And then later that evening I made a DELISH whole wheat, 3 cheese lasagna and garlic bread for dinner.  Some would say it wasn't much but we enjoyed the nice relaxing day with NOOOO WORK!  :)
