friday randoms

what a slow moving friday. doesn't help any that the weather is gray + the car is back in the shop. took it in last friday for an oil change. came out driving funny over the weekend. took it back in wednesday + today its going to come back with $700 worth of new spark plugs + wiring. kinda wish we had a different car when it comes to needing new parts for it.

last night i tried to be all pioneer womanish and make her beef brisket. cleaned the slab of meat + marinaded it over night. it was pretty disgusting cleaning the thing. i had to use paper towels to lift it into the roasting pan. didn't want to touch it. grossed me out but i do this stuff for the love of my family. {got to use my roasting pan that i bought over a year ago from pampered chef} roasted it for the time amount the pioneer women said it should take to only find that it was pink. as in corned beef brisket pink. had mike taste it and he said that it tasted like corned beef brisket. we don't like corned beef brisket. the meat man at the local supermarket was wrong + my attempt to cook a home style cattle ranch dinner went to waste. though the mash potatoes, green bean casserole for me + warmed up leftover mac-n-cheese was still good.

this is kaylee cheesing it for me. now she is 3 years old and she has actually grown a little in her short life span but see her cute little skirt? that was a birthday present for when she turned 1 years old. it fit her then, a little big obviously and it still fits her now. miss petite thang. i love her. i put "lip loss" on her + she talks with her lips sticking out, its too cute!

i love those sweatshirts too. i got her a pink one last year and got 3 more this year. another pink one, this green one + one that zips up for next year. they are so soft + they wash really well too+ they go with everything!!

here's a few pics of our house that we are trying to sell. its alot bigger inside than what it looks on the outside. the family room in the back is 19x23! huge!! we have a large sectional in there, chair + ottoman+ a 62" big screen tv. { i think its 62". mike will be upset with me if that's wrong. it's either 62 or 68}



oh well whatever it is. and talk about size, see the ceiling fan in our bedroom? the one that covers up most of the ceiling...well that's what you get when you let your husband pick out the fan. i never liked it, it doesn't match the decor unless you live in a cabin i'm glad that stays. our kitchen table fits 6 people but the realtor said to shorten it, makes the kitchen look bigger. not that that matters right now. no one is interested in seeing it!! kinda makes me worried..........
