Fab Fall Friday

What a fab morning! Nice and cool outside, I have my fall scarf on and my new knock-off ugg boots on and my Starbucks in my hand. Yummy! Kevin and Addi were sleeping in while I was on my way to work, I love Fridays, its my day of the week I get to wear jeans to work and I treat myself to Starbucks. They have new flavored hot chocolates which I am going to have to try next Friday, but today its Pumpkin Spice. I totally enjoyed my drive into work, its my alone time everyday and I really enjoy it. This morning I had the windows cracked for the wonderful fresh, fall morning air and loved my view of the sun rising over the corn fields with mist on the ground, listening to some of my fav tunes loud. And now I'm listening to a whole bunch of my other fav tunes of Lori's blog and Hudson likes it too, he's totally moving around having a party -tender. I love Kate Voegele, I need to go buy that cd. What a great morning, one that makes me just happy to be alive! Well, that's about it for now. Just wanted to spread a little Friday morning cheer.

Much Love,

Sara

Here I come....

Ok! I did it! I just scheduled my Series 7 General Securities Representative Exam for October 22! I leave for Seattle in 10 days to take my class on how to take the test. Its a five day, eight hours a day class, I'm going to need all the brain power I can get. And I'm not sure how well I'm going to hold up with a whole six days away from Addi! Wish me luck...I think I'm going to need it.

Tender...Kisses to Daddy

So Addi and I were just hanging out last night and missing being with Daddy so we decided to send him a video. It's not very clear cause I took it on my phone, and its only about 30 seconds. You have to see the end, that's the best part. Warms my heart! So precious and tender! I just love her so much!

Great Reciepe

I came across this recipe and it really was as easy and cheap as they claimed it to be. I did cheat though and on the chicken I used the pre-sliced, pre-cooked chicken strips from Costco that all you have to do is heat in the oven. They are about $15/bag but they lasted me about 4 months, they are great to have on hand, for chicken tortillas, or any chicken recipe that calls for pre-cooked chicken. Anyway, below is a copy of the recipe. I used large lemons for lots of juice and I added more olive oil and red pepper flakes, but you can just season to taste. It really was cheap too, which I love, just lemon, pasta and chicken. I used a little bit of dried parsley for the garnish. Enjoy!
