What I'm loving right now

Jared just went to go run some errands and took Beef with him and I just put Crew down for the night, so unless a cat decides to randomly piss me off, I think I should have some peace and quiet for the next couple of hours, YES!!!

Thought I would share some random things I am loving/not loving and such lately

CURRENTLY LOVING:

- My Jack Lalane juicer


This glorious machine is at the top of my list of daily necessities, I make a big batch of cabala juice (not affiliated with madonna) for jared and I pretty much every morning and I usually make a glass or 2 again for myself later on in the day. cabala is simply a acronym for carrot, apple, beet, apple, lemon, apple. I do a specific recipe consisting of red, yellow and green apples, and, you guessed it, carrots, lemons and beets. Its absolutely Delicious I crave it all the time, and not to mention really really good for you.

- Clean Carpet


Yesterday Jared went and rented a carpet shampooer from home depot and I cleaned all the carpet in the upstairs, (and Jared did the downstairs). It was crazy how dirty the water was when I emptied it each time, practically black with tons of pet hair, wish I would have taken a pic. It only costs $17 for 4 hours and I think its only like $25 if you keep it 24 hours. Now my carpet is nice and clean and smells good too. Ironically I was changing Crews diaper today on the newly clean carpet and he decided to take a pee as soon as I got his diaper off, something he's only done a hand full of times. Its all good though, a little baby pee beats dog diarrhea all over the carpet any day (true story, happened more then once), was not a good day to be a tan Olde English Bulldog named Beef Stew.

- These 10 LBS bags of carrots from Costco


They only cost $4.50 a bag, I used to pay that at Good Earth for the 5 LBS bags

- Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders making the team on CMT


O.k. so I secretly want to be one, I guess you have to live in Dallas or something, details. But seriously I love this show

- Making hot home cooked meals on these chilly nights


This is Granny Myers goolosh I made tonight, it doesn't look that great in the pic but it was super yummy I thought and easy, only used one pan, I'm all about dirtying the least amount of dishes/pans etc... when cooking.

- Not necessarily something I'm loving but thought I'd throw it in here since we got it today


Our old flat screen Broke that we got at Costco almost 3 years ago, Jared took it back and traded it straight across for this way better LCD T.V., can't beat Costco's return policy



Crew was thoroughly entertained by the box twine stuff

- Skinny Jeans


While I was in Las Vegas last weekend I picked up a pair at Holister, I tend to get stuck in a style rut with my clothes sometimes, so this was kind of a big step for me. I love them, they are way comfortable and will look great with my Uggs this winter.

- This guy


Can I just say that Jared is a wonderful, fantastic and amazing husband. Yes sometimes I want to strangle him, as I know he does me. But he does a great job at taking care of our family, God knows he works his little A off each summer, pounding the pavement from sun up to sun down so we can have a cushy life, he's a awesome dad and Crew is nuts about him, I love watching them play together, he tells me I'm hot, gorgeous or pretty everyday, and the best part he's HILARIOUS, Those of you that know him, know he's quite the funny guy always making jokes and finding humor in pretty much everything, There's not many dull moments living with him.

- and this guy


I'm nuts-o, butt crazy in love with this kid, nuf said

- yes this guy too


Really he should be in the loving and hating list down the page but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, Regardless of how many shoes hes chewed up, trash cans hes raided and times he's gotten me up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, I love this dog, he's so much fun to have around and makes a great addition to our family

CURRENTLY HATING:

Pee Spots:




When Beef Stew pees on the lawn it makes these big cute yellow spots. I've tried to remedy this many different ways, feeding him ketchup and tomato to supposedly neutralize the acid in his urine, didn't work. Tried training him to pee in the same spot every time, didn't work. Followed behind him with the hose and soaking the pee spot, works pretty good except when it's 6am and freezing out, or even if its not, sometimes its the last thing I want to do. If you know anything else I can do please let me know

CURRENTLY LOVING AND HATING AT THE SAME TIME:

- Spin Class


This class is awesome, because it makes me feel amazing and whips my booty into shape, and its only 45 min long, but the most grueling 45min ever. Ive been going to the 6am classes, which I also love and hate, hate getting up at 5:30, love getting my workout over with so early and getting home before Crew even wakes up.

EXCITED TO BE USING SOON:

My awesome new snowboard Jared got me for Christmas last year, can you guess which one?


I started to really love snowboarding last season, and I can't wait for the first big snow storm to head up the mountains

WILL BE MISSING SOON:

- This fruit, mostly the grapes


I grew these, ok not really but they did grow in my backyard, and they soon will not be any longer, I heard something about grapes not growing well in freezing cold temperatures.

- The fall weather

I LOVE this time of year, especially after burning up all summer in Vegas and Arizona, its nice to come home good ole Provo.

P.S. I know all my pics are HUGE, I know how to resize them on photobucket.com but thats alot of extra work to do to each pic, after I upload them from my camera to my laptop, then my laptop to photobucket I'm not so much feeling like doing anything else to get my pics on my blog, is there a easier way? maby some of you seasoned bloggers can enlighten me
