Saturday Morning Scene

I'm linking up with Katie at Loves of Life once again for my Saturday Morning Scene! 

 
My Saturday morning started with these two adorable furballs waking me up, letting me know if was time for their morning peepee. 

You can see Miss Peanut is ready for playtime. Wiggles is ready for snuggles. Mommy is ready for coffee. Then it's on to pack the house! Because I got all of half a box packed last weekend. And the big move is in less than 2 weeks!


Thank God my momma is in town to be on packing patrol.


Happy Saturday!

Puppy Bowl!

This past weekend, my friends brought their new puppies to my house for a puppy play date. While the adults enjoyed some adult beverages, the puppies played their little hearts out. Except for Wiggles. Since he's the grumpy old man, he spent most of the night watching from the couch. 

First, we made a special message for hubs:

And after some get-acquainted time (aka, butt sniffing), the puppies played:

Then Wiggles and Peanut played with Uncle Chris:

And finally, snuggle time on the couch:

This was all a lot of activity for my two pups, so Sunday was super ultimate nap day. 

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way Home From Work

On my way home from work today, I stopped to fill up my car with money-sucking gas. As I was about to pull out of the station, a car stopped about 100 feet away from me...in the middle of the road...with a trail of 5 cars behind it.


Out of the driver's door pops a women flailing her arms and putting her hands around her throat. That's right...she was CHOKING! 


I absolutely froze in panic. I don't actually know how to do the heimlich! I only know what I see on TV. This lady is going to die in front of my very eyes because I can't dislodge the object from her throat.


Suddenly, a women darts out of the driver's side of her pickup truck and runs to the choking woman. As she's doing this, I snap out of my panic and dial 911. FYI - this is my first emergency phone call to 911...I was nervous. 


The operator asked me questions like what she was choking on, how old she was, was she breathing. I, however, was still in the gas station parking lot. So I ran (yes, ran) into the middle of the road to the side of the woman, just in time to see an object pop out of her mouth. What that was, I have no idea. The poor woman was in tears, but she was breathing. I asked if she wanted the medic to come anyway. She declined. 


After hugging the woman who just saved her life, the (previously) choking woman got back into her car and we all drove away.


The moral of this story? I'm taking a CPR class. My Grey's Anatomy/WebMD medical degree just isn't cutting it. 

I Have A Crazy Dog

Fact. I have a crazy dog. 


Peanut watches TV and barks at any kind of animal that comes across the screen. At first, it was cute and funny. But now, it's out-of-control-annoying. I don't know how to get her to stop. Hubs is the only one that can help for some reason. Pay attention to the insanity around 30 seconds in.


Here's video evidence:





Any advice for taming a crazy pup? I'm losing it here!

Recipe Roundup (Yeeehaww!)

I'd been getting some comments that people are enjoying the recipes I've been sharing. So I've decided to make this more of a consistent post AND I made a button! Yay, me! And I shall call it Recipe Roundup because that was the best name I could drum up. Creativity fail.


Anywho, this recipe is for:

Chicken Enchilasgna (via Devin Alexander, chef at the Biggest Loser)

1 can red enchilada sauce (Hot or mild, however you like it)
1 can green enchilada sauce (If you can't find it, green taco sauce will do. If you can't find either, another can of red it fine.)
1 can, chopped green chiles
1 can, chopped or sliced black olives
1 tsp cilantro
2 cups, cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded
2 cups, reduced fat cheddar cheese
6 flour tortillas


Heat oven to 400. Combine enchilada sauces in a bowl. Combine cheese, chiles and olives in a bowl. Put a few spoonfuls of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish (so there isn't stickage) and place two flour tortillas on top of the sauce next to each other. Cover with some of the chicken, cheese mixture and a few spoonfuls of sauce. Layer and repeat two more times. Pour remaining sauce over casserole and top with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. 


Enjoy!

Saturday Morning Scene

Gooood Morning!


Today I'm linking up with Katie at Loves of Life (another new fave blog), for Saturday Morning Scene. 

  Today, I'll be tackling some packing. Boooo. Check out my stockpile of boxes:

Yep, I've been working on that collection for a few weeks now. Guess I should get down to business. Only 20 days until the big move! Oh, and you'll see my bad dogs hanging around in the picture. I'm pretty sure they're not going to help me pack. But wouldn't it be nice if they could? 

Linking Up for Roses and Thorns

Happy freaking Fridayyy!


I'm linking up with one of my favorite new blogs, K. Law: Inspired, for Roses and Thorns! 

Let's start with Thorns, so I can end this post on a good note.

• Thorns for my wicked case of PMS this week. Not only did I feel like a beached whale, but I was a total beyotch. 
• Thorns for my busted fence gate which caused my dogs to break free (see below.)
• Thorns for Old Man Winter wearing out his welcome in these parts. I'm ready for Spring, dangit!
• Thorns to doing this whole moving thing sans husband. I think he should buy me many pieces of jewelry to make it up to me. 
• Thorns to the 3 terrible hair days I had right in a row.

Now for some Roses!

• Roses for some new blog followers! And certain readers who aren't official "followers"...including my little sis who finally decided to become a daily reader (it's about damn time.) And her coworker, Allison, who has also become a reader (hey girls, heyyyy!) 
• Roses for my sister getting her work out on this week and losing 5 pounds!
• Roses for the random patches of daffodils around the Beltway.
• Roses for Skype for allowing me to see my husband's smiling face from afar. 
• Roses to my entire family finally getting on Verizon, so we can talk for free! Hubs will surely be excited to not get any more overage bills. 

Have a happy weekend!
