New floor

Thats right folks we have a new floor in the dining room. Goodbye carpet, Hello hardwood. Dad worked on the floor all last week.I got kicked out of my bedroom upstairs so I had to sleep downstairs in the guest bedroom. That sure was different.

In other news we had some snow like other people just glad it wasn't 2 feet. Thankful that we only got 1-3 inches or something like that.

On a totally different subject I am on christmas break now for 3 weeks. I took my final for my massage to ethics this morning and hoping I passed which I think I did.

Fire Fire Fire!!!!

Ok so no real fire to report but I did have a mishap with Grams microvave and burnt popcorn last night. Lets just say it was an exciting night :)
 First, I put the popcorn in the mircowave. Second, I pushed popcorn on the mircowave and nothing happened. Genuis that I am I decide to push popcorn and start. After I heard poping sounds I decided to leave the kitchen..that was a big NO and never do that again. I left the kitchen for a few seconds and all of a sudden M and Gram were saying "Done Poping". I didn't think anything at fist because I was like okay its done poping. I walk slowly into the kitchen and I open the mircowave and black smoke is coming out of the mircowave. Then all of the sudden the fire alarms are going off and they are really loud and noisy. I thought ours were bad but Grams is worse. My Mom and Gram sprang into action with towels and with trying to find a cell phone. I opened the door for fresh air and getting rid of some black smoke. After we found the cell phone we had already called S.S a maintnice guy at swiss village who was in church at the time(we wouldn't know that until 9pm) and swiss village to tell them what has happened. Two nurses came from swiss village and tried shutting the alarms off but nothing. After 20 minutes of still hearing the alarms another guy from maintnice came and thankfully he shut them off. Yes, it did still smell like burnt popcorn. My Mom had made another thing of popcorn when the nurses were still there. I did not go towards the mircowave toward the end of the night.
 Today during lunchtime I was talk of swiss village. If you ever want burnt popcorn, you know who to call.

School is back in session

Alrighty folks its that time of year again. No not Christmas but school time. Last Tuesday I went back to school and this fall I will be taking a course in ethics for massage therapy and a life skills class. Today, in my life skills class I had to give a presentation all about me and I had to put it on a power point. It was  my first time doing a power point presentation. My professor has never had anyone bring in a power point and also he didn't know how to use it. Then on my way to life skills class I almost got hit. Some guy was going really fast and he flew right by the stop sign. Yes I did cry till I realized that I was fine. Thank the lord.

Texas trip #2

Tk and I at beach

Last Monday I went to Texas for my second time this summer to spend some time with Tk. On my first day Tk and I went to a natual science museum and it was fun. Then we went to the pool and I laid out while Tk worked. After Tk got off work it was time for scuba class. The next day Tk went to work and I got to sleep in and go shopping. Then in the afternoon went back to the pool. Amazingly no sunburn! only blisters on my hands from showing off. I learned my lesson never show off to kids on the lilly pads. Thursday moring we got up and headed to Galvaston beach and to see Moody Mansion which had 31 rooms.It was in the 100's that day. I got sick on the way back to Houston because of the heat. In the evening I felt better so Tk took me to underwater hockey where she plays with old men in speedos and one girl. She is the youngest on the team. On Friday morning I left. Bye Texas. Hope to see you again. It was a fun time! Thanks Tk for a great trip!

Better late then ever

Well its close to the end of the summer semeaster and I am ready for it to be over. Finally getting done with another massage class. This was a hands on class. On Tuesday this next week I have clients to do in class and we get graded on what we have learned. I am a little nervous..hopefully I do good. Fingers crossed. Better get back to studying.


Before I went to summer school, Mom and I took Tk down to Texas. We had a fun time!

Me, Mom, Tk

Me at Tiffany and Co

A piece of chocolate goodness

Sometime last week my grandma stumbled upon this recipe in the newspaper and wanted to make these. She did not have the ingredients to do so. Thank you Grandma for sharing this recipe. Last Friday to be exact my mother made these I know your probably thinking why didn't I make them. I wasn't in the mood last weekend to bake anything and I thought I would share this yummy recipe.

It is called Crispy Rice Treat Brownies

3 cups mini marshmallows

2 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup peanut butter

2 cups rice krispies

9-by-9-inch pan brownies, baked and cooled in the pan

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup M&M's

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, butter and peanut butter. Heat on high in 30-second bursts, stiring between, until melted and smooth. Stir in the rice krispies.

  Using oiled or damp hands, press the cereal mixture over the top of the cooled brownies, forming it into an even layer. Set aside to cool.

 Meanwhile, to make the ganache, in a small saucepan over medium-low, bring the cream to a simmer. Add the chocolate chips and let set for 1 minute. Using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, stir the cream and chocolate until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  Pour the ganache over the rice treat layer and spread to the edges of the pan. Sprinkle with M&M's. Let cool until the chocolate is set before cutting. Wrap tightly or store in an airtight container. Makes 16 servings.

 I know it is a little chocolately but it is really good! Enjoy! 

   In other news I passed my classes..yay! Last weekend Tk graduated college and it was bittersweet. Maybe one day I will graduate..hopefully! Also last weekend I got a sore throat which lead to a cold and already have used two kleenex boxes up. Yes, I still managed to go to work even if I didn't want to. Tomorrow I go see the doctor about some things. I will write more later on that subject.
