Oh what a day...

Now I'm even more sad because I got the go ahead on doing a swap last night and right when I was trying to tell the person I wanted to do it my internet went out, so I was planning on doing it today. My internet still isn't back on and I'm at the college using theres and well the swap is closed now because too many people signed up. Tears. I really wanted to do my first swap. I'm so in the next one, so let me know.

Oh..these lovely days of mine.

Today has not been the best of days. Last night the internet went off at my house and when we call they say someone is working on it. It has officially been down for a full 24 hours and it erks me. I mean our internet is hooked to our cable and our cable works fine so no we did pay the bill and my mom did check on that. It's just that darn Mediacom. I though they at least should have let some one know what was going on instead of having to call and find out, when I had a 10 page paper due today. grr

Ok on a better note, I won the giveaway for a Monogrammed Make-up brush set at http://laurennicolegifts.blogspot.com/

That totally cheered me up. She is still giving away a few more so go on over there and enter for you one of these:

Anyways wish me luck for a better day. I'm not sure when I will be on again. If the internet is fixxed tomorrow I will, if not I will have to wait until I can get to a computer again. I also have a baby shower to go to Saturday for my best friends future sister-in-law. Wish me luck.

P.S. I think Starbucks would totally make my day today. To bad I live in the country...tear :(

My lovely life...NOT

Grr. you know your life sucks when you dont have anything to blog about. lol
Let's just say I have a little too many medical problems and I can't go to school so the only time I really get to see my friends is on Friday nights and thats just to watch a movie. Saturday is mommy and me time. Trust me I love the mommy and me time because my mom is my best friend and hey we go shopping and she buys me stuff. Cute stuff. But during the week i have no type of life. I try to cook, but then I have bad days. If I actually do do something one night during the week, i'm miserable for the rest of the week cause my tummy swells and then my teacher is on my butt if i dont have all my work turned in. I love to bake, but sitting at home working on work all the time will not keep me from getting fat from that food I love to bake. I just dont know what to do anymore. Whats even worse is I think the teachers think its all a joke so they try to send me a bunch of work(more than they send the rest of their students). It positively sucks. I mean I wouldnt lie about my stomach swelling and being miserable when it does. I mean heck I wouldnt walk around looking like I was five months pregnant everytime it swells if it wasnt real. I'm not pregnant but i'm sure people think that when my stomach is swollen in public. If I wasnt sick I would be able to eat all the foods I like, like broccolli and stuff with seeds. Heck if i wasnt sick I would have a bf right now, instead of telling him I couldnt deal with. I just dont understand some people.
Ok I'm done ranting now and I'm going to go try to work on some work before I get fussed at tomorrow.

Super Bowl Food

Okay so I decided that seeing as how I love to cook I would share some of my recipes with yall from day to day. Well last night was the Super Bowl and I fixxed two really yummy dishes and well here they are:

Taco Dip:
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
diced green pepper (as much as you want)
1/2 cup salsa
2 cups lettuce leaves or shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Montery Jack cheese
1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives(i do not use these, but you can)
1/4 cup pimiento-stuffed green olives(which i also do not use)
tortilla chips or corn chips

(also if you dont like any of the stuff from the lettuce down, you do not have to use it, It still tastes good. I have had to make it different ways for different family members.)

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, red pepper, and green bell pepper in large bowl; mix until well blended. Stir in salsa. Spread onto serving platter lined with lettuce. Top with cheeses, tomatoes, green onions, and olives. Serve with chips.

&&&&&&&


For the other recipe, I actually do not know the name because it is a family tradition known as the Catalina Chip Stuff..lol

Tortilla chips or corn chips(enough to cover bottom of dish)
2 cans red beans
taco cheese
diced green bell pepper
diced tomatoes
catalina salad dressing

Crush chips along the bottom of pan. Top with red beans. Top red beans with cheese, followed by the green bell peppers and tomatoes. When ready to serve cover with as much catalina as you would like and mix up.
