Painting again...!

Wow! I guess I must have gotten bitten by the paint bug or something. I have painted more in the last two weeks than I have in years! Here's my living room in progress... Just after we covered all the furniture, etc. in plastic to prepare for painting the ceiling last night...


And now what it looks like...





And Poor Laney, just lost cause she can't find a good spot to lay down. She's resorted to depressingly staring out the windows. I'm still not sure if that's because she is mad because her bed got temporarily relocated while I'm painting, or she's just REALLY wanting to go outside. I had to walk something down to the school this morning, and I took Laney with me. Ever since then, she is just whining at the doors and windows, just hoping I will take her for a short walk again!! What a laugh! And a great dog!


Well, I still have to come up with some supper for my crowd, so here's something I thought sounded good for supper tonight, and it is really low in calories -- good for those of us who are trying to watch our meals... Let me know how it turns out for you.

Left overs from this recipe microwave well the next day for lunch. Non-fat
soy cheese may be used instead of the non-fat cheddar and non-fat mozzarella.

 Stacked Cheese Enchiladas

1 15-oz. can tomato sauce
1 small diced onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
6 corn tortillas
1/2 c. grated non-fat cheddar cheese
1 1/2 t. chile powder
1/2 c. grated non-fat mozzarella cheese
1/8-1/4 t. cumin (to taste)
1/2 4-oz. can chopped green chilies

In a saucepan combine tomato sauce, onion, chile powder, cumin, garlic and
green chilies. (I don't like things too hot, so I buy whole chilies and
scrape all the seeds out before chopping). Simmer about 15 minutes.

Spread a couple of large spoonfuls of sauce in a 9-inch pie pan and place a
tortilla on top. Spread sauce on top of torilla and sprinke with a little
of both kinds of cheese. Continue layering till all ingredients are used
up, ending with the cheese.

Bake uncovered at 350 F for about 20 minutes.

Cut in wedges and serve.

Could someone please pass onto Mandy that I won't be at her Partylite get-together tonight -- I just HAVE to get this painting done by the end of the weekend, and I have to paint the whole dining room, too. And if I get out of the mood, who knows how long it may be before I get time to get back into it!!
After all, my house has to look AWESOME for MY Partylite show next Friday -- the 13th -- REMEMBER -- Mardi Gras theme! So everyone have a great time at Mandy's beautiful home tonight, and give her my regards for not being there. I will be there in spirit...!

Have a great weekend, everybody!!

Really not much going on here today. I've been studying like a mad man, it's cold here, kids are busy, same old same old. I did find out yesterday my Aunt Marlene (Mom's sister) has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She is doing some chemo treatments in the next couple weeks, and we'll see where it goes from there -- please keep her in your prayers. I also need prayers for my friends still struggling financially. Times are tough, and we all have to make sacrifices we typically wouldn't, but hang in there -- it will all be worth it in the end. One resource I can recommend on money expertise is DaveRamsey.com -- he's the guy responsible for the Financial Peace University that Jason and I took a couple of years ago. We wouldn't be where we are today if we hadn't taken advantage of that valuable resource. There is a link on the right side of my blog to his website -- check it out. I'd also be willing to talk to you about his information, too. Let me know! ...

Christmas Lists

I finally took a few moments and got the Christmas lists posted for our family!  I find it hard to believe we are at this point in the year already.  This has been a crazy year, full of roller-coaster emotions, such busy times, a few slow times, losses for some, gains for many, but it has been another year passed nonetheless. This year, we've seen many changes, and with each change, we learn a little bit more about who we are and what we're capable of. I'm going into this holiday season with a warm heart, and I hope you will too.  God has great things in store for all of us, and I can't wait to see each morning what He's prepared for me. Happy Holidays! Side note about the lists -- This is verbatim what the kids had on their lists, and I did not split the list between any of the family, so plan accordingly.  We won't be concerned about duplicates, as we enjoy shopping for ANY reason.  We're grateful for the thought you put into each gift, and are tha...

   This past weekend, we traveled to Deadwood with my “work family”, and had a great time. Some of the guys went golfing up near Sturgis (Boulder Canyon) during the morning, but most of us ladies had spent the morning checking out the sales in the citywide garage sales. We started off the trip by meeting together at the office and “caravan-ing” the ladies to the Prairie Berry Winery. With Jason’s back being injured recently, he wasn’t up for golf, so he decided to be our “DD”…          I had never been to a wine tasting, nor a winery, and never had been to Prairie Berry.  It snowed on us on the way up (see photo at right). What an enjoyable experience it was! We were allowed to try up to five wines, (only a half an ounce each), so I tried a variety, albeit most of them were the sweet wines. I am just not a fan of dry or bitter wines. I ended up purchasing some of their infamous “Red Ass Rhubarb” and some “Calamity Jan...
