Sometimes.... its good from a can when

You get lazy and don't go grocery shopping for a few weeks...

and so your "food storage" Becomes your food...

and well at that point you must be creative because you have to eat!


So Here it is folks

My home made Tomato soup recipe...when you are broke or too lazy to go to the store... (which ever comes first)

grab a can of petite diced tomatoes
a cup of water
oregano
Italian seasoning
and garlic salt

mix it all together in a pan let boil...
and to your surprise it is AMAZINGLY Good...

While I do not claim to be a chief or anything (that's the hubs, I know pre-med student and a cook? I have got it made...) This here dish was all me and 100% good.


its surprising how little you can actually live one... and yes I am going shopping soon...like tomorrow...

Happy Sunday!

For the love of Photography...

here is the pic for today and a description... awesome huh?

lol and I just found out a new camera is coming into my collection!!!!!!
you know those old vintage ones.... accordion style? With the smoke??? YES

look to that soon!!!

A place to HANG

OK so here is the deal.
When we still lived with Robert's Mom the neighbors across the street had a pile on their curb marked FREE. Or course I was all over it, but my hub was more like...
GROSS anyways he got a free pair of BB shoes so he quickly stopped complaining. I found what you see above. These two lovely FREE treasures are for china you set the plates on them to display them in a cabnit or what ever. But as soon as I saw them I knew what they would be. I found a place in our small room and waited till the day I would make my vision real.

RObert did not understand why I took them saying we don't have space (true) and you dont need that (not true)

Any one who knows me well knows I love my jewelry. And in particular I love my necklaces. Robert has added to my collection over the years and my jewelry box was just too full and all my stuff was getting tangled. GRR I hate that so anyways I decided it was time to do something about it.

By the way this was super super easy.  I just tied some ribbon to two of the prongs and hung it by two nails and walla! My Jewelry hung in neat and orderly perfection!

Now if I could just get all of my jewelry unpacked! Yep of course this is not all!

one for team wife!

:) 

See honey I told you they would be worth it!

Cleaning busy Saturday

 Although I do not want to say cleaning is my most fav thing on this planet....

 It does feel nice again to have a place for everything!

 oh and I do not belive you have met my work space... this is a place where all my inpiration happens...
lol not all of it but some! :) SO nice to have SPACE!


and introducing our bathroom...

 our nook.... where I have decided was created just for our Christmas tree this year.... awww

and thats all folks I have not really posted in a while... so youll see me soon!

My story

For a writer like myself keeping my story to myself is just about the hardest thing I can do. I wish I could go into details about what and where and who and all that but I cant. There are just too many people out there who I do not trust. My story will be told and will be mine 100 % original.

GR still I am mad cause Its getting so good! lol I know weird right? But I write how I read I dont even know the ending yet. I get into writers block sometimes for months at a time. But the past few months have been like a down pouring of write this write that I HAVE HAD SO MANY GREAT IDEAS these past months. Who knew moving to Davis would do that? CHange of pace? I think thats just what this Doc ordered.

Anyways the whole publishing this is a scary thing I will keep you all posted but I still have a ways to go I keep changing my mind on some important details about my book so until I have that figured out....

But I am scared. WOrried Excited. all the above but you know when I was 8 I wanted to be a writer. Thats all I wanted to be. I wrote stories and poems my entire life. This is just who I am. I have so many different story Ideas and I often jump to the others but this story I have to tell is important and I have a goal and a mission and I will tell this story if its the last thing I do... (It wont be but you get the drama right?) anyways so thats why I have had a lack of posts still writing tonight too. WIsh me luck cause I have some important scenes to work on!


:)

and you all better get my book one day when its published.. I am just saying.

BYE!

yes. YES I did.

Need some tables?

YES! I am in NEED of some side tables. Robert and I have two ghetto side tables right now.... they are called buckets lol! ha well you know its not really a necessity... and well while I have decorated the whole house but our room... I left it so I could figure out SLLLLOOOWWLLYY what I wanted to do... robert also told me that I needed to wait... cause you know we are not millionaires .... what??? YOU DID NOT KNOW THIS?

LOL anyways So I know it is important to live within your means. There is a reason a lot of people get into debt. Sadly its not all for just school, but for "things" yeah crazy right??? lol

anyways Rob and I have worked hard at not needing the latest smart phone or I-pod... We did get some money back from my settlement so I got my DREAM camera... SUCH A BLESSING. but yea thats like the only thing we have gotten that we did not really NEED.

When I thin about it, we have been so super blessed! God watches over all his children. But honestly when I look back at my life and see where he has been it amazes me! here is the story of our couch...
so when robby and I got married we had NOTHING...

We were happy and in love and said to the world:
WHO CARES!

But when we got into an apartment we realized we kinda needed stuff... lol our familes HELPED US OUT SOOOO MUCH!! we did not buy any furniture EVER! WOW!!!! we got a bed a bed frame dressors, tables chairs lamps wall unit tv...
EVERYTHING and

my parents gave us there old couch.

That broke a little while later and Roberts dad gave us his couches. I just want you to know that getting those couches was SUCH a blessing in my life. I felt that Heavenly Father carried about me. I knew we needed a new couch, but we could not offord one. I tried to fix the old couch as best I could with boards and pillows (the frame broke) but it was not working. I was sad. its not the bigest thing in the world its a couch for goodness sakes! but when Randy roberts dad said he could give us his couches I wanted to cry and I did!!!

Those couches were such a blessing. They also were the nicest couches I have seen! Oh my!

when we moved in with roberts mom roberts sister got them.

so when we moved out again... COUCH-LESS once again! We could not offord a couch. We were trying to get a futon... and thought that it would probably just kill my back. so we waited.

Our friends the Coopers told us their couch would not fit in her apartment and asked if we wanted it!

WE SAID YES!!!

and yet another story of how heavenly father helps us to live with in our means yet happily and with comfort! lol.

so anyways this post got way way longer than I wanted i totally ramble and have bad spelling sorry!!

anyways soooo where was I???

Oh yes! Living with in our means. We do not have a fancy bed frame but I am excited because I am going to make a nice head board and all that...

but we need side tables and I just want these so badly.


I knew I took woodshop in middle school for a reason.

I am determined to make this.
