wine in a carton

Radical! It's not a bottle..it's not a box..it's a carton! Apparently they make juicebox sized containered wine now....it will be illegal one day. In the meantime horray!

drinking coffee to stay awake and warm and a recipe~

I am baking lasagna right now..not just lasagna but artichoke spinach lasagna!

I got the recipe from allrecipes.com : http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Artichoke-Spinach-Lasagna/Detail.aspx

Follow it precisely..I stay off but it's great if you follow it but if you are someone who likes and knows how to then the best part of recipes is making it your own, am I right?

So I took a pause and it is now done and I ate a piece with toasted wheat garlic bread.







It was delish and will be for days! I highly suggest trying it. It's really quick and easy. :)

so I started a new job on wednesday

The new job is like the complete opposite as my last job. I transitioned from one to the other Tuesday was my last day. I was alittle sad because I had been there for 2 + years but when the higher ups didn't even acknowledge I was leaving I knew I was doing the right thing. Anyways new job is just great...I get to listen to music while I work and they have unlimited soda!!! LOLZ Also like no stress..or so it appears. Who doesn't love NO STRESS! Especially since I'm a stressful gal. Like schoool....I am really stressing over school right now. I got stuck in IOWER (that's Iowa for those not aware) for a good week without unlimitied internet access. Then when I get back work is being nuts and I was working extra hours to make up for not having holiday pay and well the holidays happened. So that took from my time. PLUS THE SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!! That's very stressful. Class being canceled and school closing in the evening is also causing me trouble as how the heck am I going to work on my project if I can't get to the imaging lab, eh? Sigh...


This image is from a place in Sioux City called Natalia's. OMG! Best breakfast for under 10 bux ever in the SUX. If you are ever passing through it's no where near the interstate, lol. It's off Court St.

Busy bee can't stop buzzing

I'm freezing...

My apartment is always cold due to the drafty patio door. I refuse to move though. Location, location, location. There are so many things that make me nuts about this apartment complex however when I get all settled in the reality is I love my apartment. I do go back and forth about the fact that my stuff is what makes me love it. My stuff will go with me. I also talk myself out off moving because of the expense. I made a deal with myself when I turn 30 that I would get it together. Not only that but I would figure out this whole wealth thing. Yknow like staying in the same place helps develop wealth. I am also trying to sort out this whole credit thing. I don't have any. I have discovered that there is not much I can do about this except to get a credit card. I have been going this far without one. But ladies and gentlemen...credit is necessary. I don't have much debt which is great. I intend to keep it that way. But credit is necessary. I'm going to have to just do it..throw $300 at a secured credit card and start it going. I'm not thrilled about it but it's really my only option in this blessed economy. Thank you again those out there that have 12 credit cards all maxed out and no income to support that debt. Thank you to those out there that over indulged and the lenders that enabled it to happen. Thank you for making it really hard for me.

I'm also cranky...today was my last day at a job that I was relieved to leave. Tomorrow I will start my new job which I applied to a year ago. They just out of nowhere called me 2 weeks ago and offered me a job. I snatched it right up. I ran and danced as I gave my two weeks notice. Funnily enough my new job is for less money but it's better on sooooooooo many levels. So many!

I'm doing the school hussle big time. The 2 week break.was.not.a.break.at.all.

I blame the snow.
