Yesterday

Yesterday was crappy at work. Lots of crazy rude customers calling. Yeah if you are going to make stuff up keep it straight when you talking to me. I will not believe a story that has changed several times.

My sister stopped at my work for a few minutes with the kids. Very, very happy about that. I really miss them.

I helped my brother with some school stuff and dropped his papers off to him at his work. This "kid" has come so far. I am so proud of him. He has really turned his life around and he really seems to have his stuff together. I really hope he keeps on his current path.

I stopped at Wally World. They had a bunch of fabric on clearance. I only got a little bit. :) I also picked up a shirt for my Dad for a late Valentine's day gift. I usually buy him candy but he is having health issues.

We ordered pizza for supper. So naughty. We watched Smiley Face and We own the night.

Overall not a terrible day!

Awesome recipe

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Stew

Poultry Mexican Dinner
Submitted by GINGERFISH

I love this stew! It is so easy and leaves me feeling satisfied. I use 3/4 cup as a serving. If it is too spicy for you, substitute a can of diced tomatoes for one of the diced tomatoes w/chilies.

Ingredients


1 onion, chopped
1 16-oz can black beans
1 16-oz can kidney beans
1 16-oz can corn (drained)
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
2 14.5-oz cans diced tomatoes w/chilies
1 1.25-oz packet taco seasoning
1-2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Directions

Mix everything together in a slow cooker except chicken. Lay chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. This is good eaten with cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips.

Tough Day

Well it's been a really tough day emotionally. Too much stuff going on with my sister. She has decided to move back in with my parents. I am glad she is trying to get her life back on track. I feel bad that I could not do enough to help her here. I also feel like I am losing someone close to me. I will really miss her and the kids. So I am sad, happy, angry and depressed all at once. Blah!

Birthday cards



Here are two birthday cards I finished this weekend.

Thinking of you cards


These are two cards that I made from my "mistake" images. I was in a swap for stamped images. These two were not fully stamped so I didn't pass them on to anyone else. I really like how the red and pink one turned out.
