Sometimes you've just got to laugh!

I had a customer the other day ask me where we kept our table runners. Not an uncommon thing to hear in my line of work. I led her to the corner where we keep ALL of our table runners. She looked at me and said "Oh, I've already seen these ones. Don't you have any wider ones? These are so narrow."
-- So my first gut reaction was to say to her. "If you've already seen the table runners why did you ask me where we kept the table runner?"
Instead I said: "Oh these are the only ones we've got sorry. They just come in the standard width."
"Are you sure these are all you have?" She asked in hopes that I would change my answer.
"Yes, we only keep them in the one spot. We do have some on the tables for show, but they have doubles in this display. So all the table runners in the store are just right here. Sorry." I responded in hopes she would understand.
"Are you sure you sure you don't have any wider ones in the back?"
"Yes. They are all right here I promise."

...

I shook my head and walked away!

I especially like how she kept asking me if we had any others like I was going to give in and show her our stash of extra wide table runners.

Some people just make me laugh...

Xoxo.

What Gives?

You are busy moving furniture/wood around and you get a sliver. It hurts for 2 minutes. 120 seconds pass and you forget all about it. Your life carries on as if nothing has happened to you. Then about 10-12 hours later you take a shower and notice the tiny little sliver in your hand and you can't feel anything but that stupid sliver now! It feels as if you have an entire treen branch penetrating your hand. The tiny little baby sliver spent 12 hours nestled nicely in your hand without notice, but the moment you rememeber it is there it feels like the worst pain in your life...


    What Gives??

(Story is clearly over exaggerated for.... Because EVERY story is over exaggerated)

Turns out I am a TERRIBLE Blogger!

I will never be able to make a living writing a blog! And really that is too bad, because if we are being perfectly honest I would MUCH rather sit on my ass and write a blog than go to a 'real' job any day.

That being said: All of you 'Bloggers' out there please don't attack me and tell me that blogging is a 'real' job. Cause I get it (obviously) I really do, blogging isn't easy. All the ideas you need to have and the time that goes into making a nice blog... Blah, blah, blah!! You go to my job for a week and you will know what I am talking about.

So really I'm not even sure why I still have this blog up and running? Can you erase a blog? I don't even know the real answer to that question.. Shoot.. I must continue to blog then! (HAHA let's count how many times I say 'blog' in this post! Shoot.. Sorry kids!)
I think my problem is really that I have all these great ideas that I want to write about, I sit down with my thoughts in my head and then there are so many things around to distract me! The internet is a CRAZY place! (I say that like I get caught up in internet-y type things, when really I just get distracted on 'stupid' things like Twitter and Netflix.) So really my only problem is that I have the attention span of a gnat.
(see right there I had to Google how to spell gnat. Then I started reading about them when really I have NO interest AT all about gnats!)

The point of this post was really to just state that I am a terrible blogger... Sorry kids!!

This brings me to another point... I say that a lot... "Sorry kids" "Okay kids" "Good job Kids" You get the point right?? Well I say it to adults, some are younger than me some MUCH older... As it turns out the ones that are MUCH older don't like it when you call them kids. They think it is demeaning. REALLY? Here is an idea. Don't be such a stuck up ass hole, and don't take things so literally.. Good-ness... I got in trouble. IN TROUBLE for saying "Good job kids" or something to that affect(effect?) to some old ladies at work...  Fuck outta here. That is all I have to say about that!! Get your head out of your ass. xoxo

This is all for tonight... Talk to y'all later.

xoxo

Hey y'all I'm back for a minute.

October 31st, 2011. 


I'm really not sure I have anything to say about that! HA!! (I never did pick a winning business name.. Sorry kids.)


So it is August 2nd, 2012. A lot has happened over the last almost a year. Here I sit in the bath tub 'relaxing' after a shitty day.


The last 9 months in a nutshell: 
-Alex and I had our 1st anniversary. We still love each other! HA! We are 'trying' to make a human. (By trying I mean we occasionally engage in coitus and I am no longer taking birth control so a human might result from this. HA Y'all are VERY welcome for that visual! 
-Alex is done school. (HAPPY DANCE)
-We are back in the land where things make sense! (I missed home SO bad!)
-We both are working. I don't want to be working. Not that, that would surprise anybody at all that Amy doesn't like working!! 
-We found a 'nice' 2 bedroom apartment in Rosemont. (Pretty sure everybody in the building except us have cats. SO the back half <<public area>> of our building smells like rotten cat ass!)
-Our place is nice though.. I like it anyway. Really though I live with the man I love so what more could a girl ask for... Besides maybe a mansion with a swimming pool, a butler and a maid... **Wishful thinking**


Really though if I am being perfectly honest.. Nothing that exciting has happened in our lives.. We are pretty *basic (read boring) people! 


I still like to crochet. I learned how to crochet toques! That was an exciting life event! (Grandma Brown would be so proud!) My Friend Jacqui Cameron needed something to do while she was in the hospital with her awesome son Rylan (he had brain surgery and spent a month in Vancouver) So a bunch of girls decided to make baby hats and donate them to the hospital. I made <I want to say around 54> and the first half of them were donated. I even saw a picture of a baby wearing one of the hats I made. (Warmed my heart!) 


I have a new'ish hobby now. I like to sew.. I started sewing cloth diapers.(I am getting good too) The cloth diaper thing all started when I saw some videos on YouTube about families who cloth diaper their kids. First  I thought Ewe that's gross. But then I really got to thinking about it. And it seems like a pretty okay idea to me! First off WAY cheaper. Second disposable diapers sit in landfills for over 500 years 'they' say. And THAT is GROSS! Either way Alex and I decided we would give it a try. So for one day when we make a human as a result of our occasional coitus, I will have diapers to put them in! For WAY cheaper! I am all about cheaper! 


Anyway... Here I sit in my bathtub (I HAVE A BATHTUB AGAIN!!) my little toes are starting to look like the California Raisins, and I am SURE that Alex is wondering what the hell is wrong with me! (I have been in here for about an hour... I missed my bath tub!) 


I am fully aware that this blog post will be a cluster fu*k of thoughts.... But that is something that y'all will have to deal with!!! I just popped by to say HEY! and I might be around for a little while longer on this blog thing.. Or maybe I will post this and disappear for another 9 months. And If I did that would be okay too.  


So on that note... I'M BACK!!

::family camping trip::

we went home for the labor day game/long weekend. our family was going camping so we tagged along. let me tell you i am happy that we were just tag alongs! who the heck knew that you needed so dang much stuff to go camping! gosh. i sure am glad that my dad and les had everything!!

here are some photos of all the fun we had!!
and by all the fun we had. i mean we took some pictures of our nephew doing cute things! haha

enjoy.

this is why i am glad that my dad and les had all the camping stuff! could you imagine if we had to bring camping stuff. yikes.

we got to steal the little nugget!! i love me some ashton! that little face can make you happy no matter how bad you feel!!

this is ashton playing his favorite game of the entire weekend!! drive auntie's car! not just auntie's car. any car would do! you could just put him in the front seat of a car close the door and carry on with having fun!

(no we did not leave him alone in the car. for too long)

i did that once and came back and all the dirt that was on the floor ended up on my seat. hmmm thanks ashton! that kid is lucky i love him!

this picture just makes me laugh!

dad and les brought their cat, who decided it would be great to climb up the tree.

i didn't see any of this happen until les was about to jump off my dads back. here i come running and yelling. 'wait, wait! stay like that i need to take a picture!'

so this was the best shot i could get without my dad getting crushed to death! (not that les is big enough to crush him. cause shes not!) but he is 'old' and he did just have knee surgery a few months ago..

here he is playing his favorite game again!

this little nugget was cranky! he decided that he didn't want to have a nap. we were camping after all! scott(my brother) was laying down with him in the tent forever. i went in to have a nap too. ashton decided that nobody was sleeping. he was too busy being a cranky 19month old fighting sleep like he was going to die if he closed his eyes! well i had just about enough of that! so i asked if he wanted to go drive my car. he was all over that in seconds! so we (scott, alex, ashton and i) went for a car ride. it took him .7km to fall asleep. he slept in my car for almost 2 hours!

tina was 'tired' and 'cranky' too.

we may or may not have started drinking 'soda' at around 9-9:30am that day. tina was in a serious need of a 'nap' at around 4:12pm she 'fell asleep' for a couple hours. and let me tell you i love this girl to death. but i am pretty sure that anyone of us would have been almost willing to kill her! i love you tina... just not when you are that dru... 'tired'

oh yes. there was a football game! a football game that we won! let me tell you. the drive from calgary to regina and back again is long enough. never mind when we keep losing football games. that makes it worse! and frustrating! thank goodness we didn't have that problem this time! it was a good game indeed! i say we keep going like this!

look at my poor nose! it got so burnt. my face hurt for a couple days after this game! and I even had spf 45 on my face. i don't get it.

all in all we had a great weekend. filled with family fun. and a great football game! what more could a girl ask for??

Project #2 = DONE!!!

After a LONG month of doing nothing but crocheting granny squares. I finally finished my blanket! I was originally going to make a 10x10.
After 80 squares I was SICK of making squares.
So I quit!
Here is what I ended up with!!

This is what I was supposed to make when I was  a little girl. Well I am no longer a little girl!

So this may be 20 years late. But I finally made a granny square blanket!!

Here it is on our bed. Who are we kidding though, It's never going to be that far onto Alex's side of the bed AGAIN!!

It IS mine though. Right?

If you make it does that mean that it's all yours?

Right?? Hwlp me out here!!

I LOVE IT!! I hope y'all do too!!

Look At ME!! I'm A Domestic!!

I've been baking again!!

Next weekend I am going camping back home (kind of) with my family. I asked what I could contribute to the camping trip. As my Brother is bringing the tent (we just need our sleeping bags) My Dad is bringing all the food (or so I was told anyway.)

I asked my Sister-in-Law what we should bring. She said munchies and chips and whatnot. You know the JUNK FOOD!

Shoot I can do junk food! I am GOOD at junk food!! I love junk food! lol

So I still have a big bag of pumpkin cookies that are coming with us.

Today I got busy making buns. (I know buns are not junk food. But my Dad asked me to make some.. well bring some. I decided to make them!) I also made some Chocolate No Bake Cookies (if any of y'all want the recipe comment and I will post it)

With the same recipe that I made all my 'buns' with last week. Today I just made plain ole buns! 2dozen each hotdog and hamburger buns. They are now placed in bags, in the freezer to maintain the delicious fresh taste!

Next week camping all the campers will be jealous of our fresh homemade buns!! That is if I remember to pack them! haha So here is to hoping that I remember to throw them in the car on Thursday when we leave!

Don't worry! I will still be picking up some 'proper' junk food later this week (so it doesn't all get eaten before we leave) Chips, chips and more chips, and cookies!! What more could you ask for??

:: No Internet at Home :: AGAIN!!

Once again we are stuck with no Internet at home. Or TV for that matter. Okay, so that's not ENTIRELY true! We do have a few channels. I have to admit that although I DO really like The Food Network and HGTV. When those are the only things that there are to watch I don't really want to!
So that being said. Here I sit. At Starbucks. Thanks for the free, WORKING Internet!

Now I get to start working on the REAL post of the day!!

See you soon Folks!

I Appreciate You!

Martha Stewart Ain't Got Nothin' On Me!!

As we all know the other day I made cookies. They were Delish BTW!

Alex made dinner 4 nights in a row so I was in a baking mood!!

SO I pulled out my trusty NO FAIL BREAD recipe and made 3 dozen cinnamon rolls, 20 pizza pops and 12 pizza pretzels!!

No big deal!!!

This looks like the 
BIGGEST
bowl of dough ever.. 
Nope! Its not! ha ha.. that is after I used almost half of it!

 Here are the cinnamon rolls ready to go into the oven..

And the pizza pops ready to go in!! My Mum used to make these when we were kids!! YUM!! I am pretty sure homemade pizza pops are my favorite!!!

 After >>>

That ladies and gentlemen what DELICIOUS looks like!  

Pizza pops out of the oven! (sorry I forgot to take a picture before I covered them in plastic.. I know they don't look like anything special.. but they sure taste good!

 And THIS^^

is a pizza pretzel.. It looks like a big cheesy blob.. and THAT is what makes it SO dang good!!

If anyone is interested in the bread recipe here it is.

(trust me when it says No Fail. that's what it means!!)

If any of y'all figure out how to mess this up, you are a special kind of stupid and maybe you should just go to the grocery store instead!!

No-Fail Bread:

6 cups warm water

2 tbsps salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup oil or melted margarine

3 beaten eggs

14+ cups flour

4 tbsps instant yeast (heaping) 

Mix ingredients until dough is easy to handle. On a flat surface, knead, adding flour until right consistency. Put in bowl and let rise 30-40 minutes. Beat down. Separate into 6 portions, shape and put into bread pans. Let rise 30-40 minutes. Bake at 325*F. for 30-45 minutes. Take out and smear with margarine for a soft crust.

For cinnamon rolls just cut off a hunk of dough roll it out to pretty thin. (maybe 1/4" a little more/less depending on what you want) brush on a thick layer of melted butter cover with brown sugar sprinkle with cinnamon, roll. Cut into 1-1.5" 'buns' place in a buttered pan. let rise 30-45minute and bake until done!!

For Pizza pops cut off little chunks of dough(enought to make a regular bun) Flatten to about the size of your hand. Smear with pizza sauce and add any fillings you want pinch the edges together place that side down on a buttered pan. Let rise 30-45 minutes. bake until golden bown ontop and bottom.

For pretzels cut little hunks of dough off rolls into a little snake, fold up like a pretzel. Smear with pizza sauce, add cheese. Let rise 30-40 minutes. Bake until done. (I bake them on parchment paper for easier removal) I check the bottom to see if they are done.

HAPPY BAKING Y'ALL!!

Also I would like to say Thanks to My Mum for being a great example and teaching me to do things like this when I was a little girl!!

THANKS MUM!!

I appreciate you!

Project #2 version 2.0

Okay so as y'all may be well aware I just posted a week or two ago that I had project #1 complete, and I was starting on project #2. Since then I have officially QUIT project #2. I can't make a zig zag blanket. No matter how hard I try! (I tried twice. That was enough for me! I got frustrated and wanted to cry.)

So I decided to try something that I know how to do! And considering that when Grandma taught me how to crochet, this was the project that I was supposed to do in the first place. Here I go. With the stupid impossible zig zags behind me!! I have a NEW project #2.

Here is my very small stack of squares that I have so far. (I think there are about 20)

Granny squares that is!! I am VERY excited for this blanket to be done! It will by far be the largest thing I have ever made.. and the prettiest!

I have 3 different designs that I will be making. Stripes(left) 3x3(middle) and plain(right)

It will look similar to this picture. Only MUCH much bigger! It is going to be a 10x10square blanket! So a little bit bigger than a queen size blanket!

(hopefully there will be enough of it that Alex and I won't have to fight over it. Hmm on second though. I doubt it!! But here's to hoping!!)

I will be sure to post a picture when I have it finished!

MIA

SO Friday night during the first football game it started raining and hailing.
There was thunder, and I'm sure there was lightning too.
(I couldn't see any though. I was in the dungeon watching the game!)

Well anyway I was in the middle of making a nice blog post about version 2.0
Of Project #2. And that's when the internet stopped working!!
Talk about being Frustrated!!
I had the entire post written. I previewed the post.
And I EVEN pushed the publish post button!! Then the internet blew up!!

The landlord said that it should be back up in 24-72 hours...
And that's what he was told on Saturday, and it still wasn't working this morning!!

So here is to hoping that the internet will be put back together by
The time I get home from work!! (Let me tell you, I sure am happy that I'm not actually
Paying the internet bill! If I was I would be on the phone every stinking day complaining!!)

What good is my computer to me if I have no internet!!
(Yes I know I can play solitaire) but that is an awfully expensive deck of cards!!

So until the internet is fixed!! Have a great week!!
Hopefully this will be my last blackberry post!!

Happy LONG Weekend Y'all

To everybody except for Alex and I!! We both work all weekend.
But I hope that y'all have a great long weekend!! (especially those of my family who are going camping)
As well as everybody going to the football game on Saturday!! (especially whoever will be sitting in OUR seats!!)

SO HAPPY SASKATCHEWAN DAY folks!!!

PS. don't expect a legit post from me this weekend.. I should hope that nobody will be around to enjoy it!! But I will be back next week with something more exciting than y'all can handle I'm sure!! HA HA

I just ask one favor from everybody who is NOT working this weekend.. Pretty PLEASE go out and enjoy some summer for me! Okay? And let me know how it is..

Thanks, AmyD

Breakfast For Dinner??

You Betcha!

This may look like a bowl of nasty. It's not. It is however a bowl of delicious banana pancake batter!

Banana Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:

1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

However..
I am not really one for following rules. (I also made half the recipe.) But I made a few changes. I used brown sugar instead of white, I only put in a little splash of milk (because I had 2 frozen ripe bananas that were very gooey so I didn't figure I needed the extra liquid.) I also didn't put in the vegetable oil (but only because I completely forgot) Then I added some oatmeal (to soak up some liquid)... Oh yeah and a half a cap of vanilla.

They turned out pretty darn good if you ask me.

We had some extra ripe peaches in the fridge, and frozen strawberries in the freezer. My favorite thing to have on my pancakes is homemade fruit sauce.
All you have to do is take your favorite kinds of fruits, dice them up.
I threw them in a small sauce pan added maybe a tbsp of brown sugar, a tiny bit of vanilla, the juice from half an orange and a splash of lime juice. Bring to a boil, lower the temp to min.
Scoop over your pancakes and ENJOY!!





Here is the final product. With some orange slices, scrambled eggs and hash browns. It was delicious and VERY filling!!

Turns out it was a success!!

Happy Eating y'all!!

LOL. That is ALL that needs to be said!

OKAY.

So here we are sitting on the 'couch' and Alex finds a link to this video on his twitter posted by @mblairregina

Let me tell you right now that you PROBABLY shouldn't press play if you have children in the room.

(it is tagged as 'mature subject matter' on YouTube consider yourself warned)

BUT PLEASE don't let that stop you from watching this video.

I CRIED because I was laughing SO hard!! (mind you I watched it about 10 times in a row)

Without further ado!!!

What's For Dinner??

it was Lime Chicken Tacos at our house!!

Let me just say YUM!!

Alex and I went to go visit his Mum a while back and every time we go back to see her she always has some kind of fun magazine for me to look through. This time she had a magazine FULL of recipes!

This made me happy!!

I went through said magazine and tore my little heart out.(Now that I look back at the situation I likely should have just taken the entire book!! haha)

Here is one of the recipes that I stole and it has since become one of our favorites. Not only because it is delicious but it is also wicked easy and fast!!

Lime Chicken Tacos

yield: 12 Tacos.

1-1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast

3 tbsp lime juice

1 tbsp chili powder

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup chunky salsa

1. Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Combine lime juice and chili powder; pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken in tender.

2. Remove chicken; cool slightly. Shred meat with two forks and return to slow cooker; heat through. Stir in corn and salsa.

3. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or until heated through. Serve in tortillas with sour cream, cheese and lettuce if desired

BEFORE:

lime juice and chili powder paste.

I have never cooked this in the slowcooker. (I think mainly because I never think about whats for dinner before I leave for work in the morning!! I am not that organized of a wife yet!! I am still new at this whole wife thing!! Give me some time!)

SO.. I always just cook the chicken breasts in the pan with a little bit of olive oil then shred it after it is all the way cooked. (wait 5minutes to let the juices set in. That is my Food Network lesson for the day!!)

Then I add the corn and the paste and the salsa...

stir...

AFTER:

Today we had our 'tacos' in a pita bread...

You can't really see, BUT there IS lettuce in the bottom of the pita, sour cream and cheese.

It was delightful! and Fast!

Y'all should cook this and let me know how you liked it!!

Project #2 is UNDERWAY

Okay so I know that I said I was going to post pictures yesterday...(remember how I said that I felt like I was being a dirty slacker?!! ha ha Looks like I wasn't kidding!!)

Here I go..

So Here is the TOP layer of my stash.. (there is an entire tub underneath that)

I found a pattern for a zig zag afgan so Off I went...

This is what I have so far... So wish me luck!!

Mobile Post #2!!
Well I feel like I have been a dirty slacker lately on this little bloggy of mine!
So here I am making a 'mobile post' with my handy little blackberry!!
(Days like today kind of make me wonder what the heck we did with
Our lives before we had smart phones!! And would we survive without them?
I know I would be lost!! SAD but true!!)
SO anyway! Back to the point of this mobile post!!

I thought I would let y'all know that I have figured out what
Project #2 would be!!
Since WAY back when Grandma Brown taught me to crochet I was SUPPOSED
To make a blanket out of granny squares. I have decided to dive into something
That I have NEVER tried before!! YIKES!! Kind of scary!!
Well I'm not making a granny square blanket(that will maybe be project #3)
I am however making a 'Zig Zag' blanket!! I have never done a zig zag pattern
Before. And let me tell you it was kind of intimidating at first!!
But Alas! I have figured it out and I have about 3-4" made already!!
I have a HUGE bin of yarn that I need to use up in the next 10ish months
(I DON'T want to move it.. AGAIN!! Ha ha) On that note I feel like there will be
A lot of projects on the way!! SO.. When I return home I will add some pictures of what
I've got done so far!! :)
STAY TUNED!! Check back later today for photos...


(I promise also that I will edit this post and make it look like a human posted it!! Ha ha)

LOST

They weren't kidding when they named this show!!

I know that this show is long since over. However, Alex and I have been watching the series from start to finish. We just finished season 4 tonight.

It is one of those shows that you feel like you HAVE to watch an entire season at once, just to know what the heck is going on. Let me explain the rules of watching LOST for any of those who haven't seen an episode.

1. You must watch this series from the first episode. Or you won't have a clue what is happening.

2. You must NOT fall asleep during an episode. Or you won't have a clue what is happening.

3. It is suggested that you keep a pen and paper next to you to take notes. So that you might have a clue what is happening.

At the end of each episode that you watch there are close to 34 questions running through your brain about what the heck just happened. What would solve your confusion you might ask? One would think that watching the next episode would answer at least half of the questions??

NOPE

When you push start on the next episode you have 46 new questions!! By the time the episode is over only 12 of your original questions get answered. SO you started with 34 questions 13 were answered and you have 46 new ones!!

Now you have 67 questions!!

But ALAS... You must watch all the seasons so that maybe just MAYBE your qestions get answered!!

So here's to hoping that I am not so bloody confused during the next 2 seasons!!

Ha Ha Ha

Can anyone guess what rules I broke while watching this series??

To anybody brave enough to dive into this series. I wish you good luck!! It is best to nap BEFORE you enter into a LOST marathon!! Otherwise you will be SCREWED!!

Have a great rest of your day folks!!
