currently.

Currently. - a little ticked that my nails are chipping. i just painted them the other night. this makes me want to run out and get a "real" manicure. does anyone have tips for making your nail color last longer? help a sister out. - wishing i was still in the bed. i certainly did not want to get up this morning.  -loving the new ring my bestie bought me. we had some good catch up time over mexican food the other night and i am missing her already. -ready for another weekend to be here. i enjoyed my time last weekend with Andy and can't wait to see what this one brings. (other than NASCAR)   -laughing my head off at this throwback Thursday photo. yes, i used to get dressed up randomly and go to the grocery store. yes, i did this for no reason. don't judge me now.
linking up with Julia for Throwback Thursday.

Crock-Pot Wednesday

it's back and back with a vengeance   the following are crock-pot recipes that i have tried recently and didn't take the time to post about. i have followed them with a short review about each (good and bad).
3 Packet Pot Roast this was awful, extremely peppery. i think that it would have been much better had i added a good deal more water, but in the end Millie (Andy's dog) got most of it. i was so disappointed because although roast isn't super expensive, i did feel like it was a waste of money afterwards.  lowdown: if i decide to make...add more water next time. 
Amanda's Crock-pot Lasagna this was SO GOOD. and so EASY.  I used hamburger meat, because Andy is not a fan of spicy food, and it turned out perfect. I would say, make sure you drain any meat that you use beforehand, because it can tend to be a little greasy if you don't. lowdown: this will be made again.
Creamy Crock-Pot Spaghetti I used ground beef instead of turkey and it turned out delicious. I also cut the recipe in half and used a smaller pot. It worked out great but I should have cooked it a shorter amount of time. I wasn't able to make it home at lunch so the noodles were a little soft by the time I got off work, but the cream cheese makes it so perfect and a little different from your typical spaghetti and tomato sauce. lowdown: will make again, but probably just cook for half the time.
and on the menu for tomorrow... Crock-Pot Hamburger Soup stay tuned for a review. do any of you have Crock-Pot recipes that you would like to share? This "label" has been my most popular and I would love to include different recipes and perspectives. I am thinking about turning this into a weekly link-up. Would y'all be willing to link up with me? Honest answers please! Oh yes... btw... I am thinking about doing a giveaway the end of the month... if any of you are interested in giving away an item I would love to hear from you! It would also include a swap for the next month!

i am tired and the words are not coming easily tonight, but i have decided to be more consistent in my posting. i wore this outfit to the baby shower my mama and i threw for my best friend. i couldn't be more excited to meet baby Layton, and from the looks of it he is going to be very spoiled. look for an entire post on the Pinterest inspired shower we threw.
