If you need me....

P has gone away up north to work for a few days  :-(  on a happy note I got an email from the library today that a book I had put on hold was waiting for me!!

 If you need me I'll be reading! <3 

Sour Cream Chicken

I have become addicted to Pinterest.com . It is AMAZING! If you aren't addicted yet you should check it out but plan on spending some serious time going through all the amazing things on there.

 Anyways, I have found that there are amazing recipes on there - and I have started collecting. P is NOT a picky eater at all so I am free to basically experiment at any time and he'll eat it. (Sometimes he'll inform me afterwards its not a keeper) 

Tonight we tried Sour Cream Chicken and its a KEEPER! 

Absolutely delicious (and I didn't use Pepperidge Farms bread crumbs because they were impossible to find) 

If you click on the link above it will take you directly to the recipe that I found on pinterest.

I suggest you try this - SO good and really simple. I threw it together after work and watched America's Next Top Model at the same time ;-) 

Time to pop in the oven for half an hour (used fillets instead of full breasts)

Absolutely delicious! Its in our box of GOOD FOOD

Enjoy! 

New House!

We did it!! 


LOVING the new house. P got home the night before moving day so we stayed up kinda late getting organised then woke up early to do the walk thru and get our keys - then it was MOVING TIME. We were lucky to borrow P's dad's truck and B came and helped us out A TON! I don't know how we had so much stuff crammed into such a tiny little space. But now we are loving life.


I have a normal sized kitchen and I am so excited to COOK in it! Makes me super happy to have counter top space and enough storage to keep on hand that I don't feel like I am running to the grocery store every single day to get something to make dinner with! 


Also have a new kitchen table and chairs that P put together (with a fair amount of curse words) all by himself with me drinking a Pepsi and supervising and rolling my eyes at him. Kinda feeling grown up lately ... I'm sure that will pass soon. 

I'm officially home!! 

Most of my stuff ... nothing lost or broken! 

The really large living room with HUGE windows - I <3 Light!

The other side of the living room - and more stuff

Eek!! Sooooo excited to use this kitchen!

Insomnia

Thursday's Art Class Study

So one of the perks of insomnia is I end up drawing. 


I started back at Drawing Classes on Thursday and I was SOOO excited. It is so great to be back in a classroom environment where you have someone to ask "why does this look dumb" and get a real answer, not to mention learning from others in the class who have different perspectives or ideas. Its so fantastic. I can't wait for Thursday to come again. 


My homework is to try and sketch some of my friends if I possibly can. The hard thing is with work and trying to pack up the house, the only real time I find my self centered enough to draw is when normal people of the world are sleeping. Thank goodness for Facebook and google images. 

I'll never design for Jimmy Choo :-( 

Here are some things I've been working on and like enough to put up

oooh lucky ... or something 

Back to schoooooool !

I think I'll go back to class too .... 

I start drawing classes again TOMORROW!!

I am super excited and can't wait!! YAY!!

Here are some of my daily sketches I have been working on just getting all pumped up for class. Enjoy ! 

So busy lately!

My life is SO hectic lately! So many things are changing and work has picked up x 1000 due to school being back in session - would you believe I did a quote for a hockey team today? YIKES! 


Ok first change - we are moving! (not that far tho don't worry) Just a couple blocks away. Our place now is fantastic but we have seemed to outgrow the more settled I become (that means the more I make it a home rather than a place all our crap sits in boxes under the stairs)  We have tried a few ways of rearranging and have finally just decided its not going to work. 

APARTMENT HUNTING IS STRESSFUL

Those of you who have more than just 2 people and 1 fish in your family, I don't know how you do it. My hat off to people who trek with children and pets in town to whole new cities or countries. 

But we found a new place and get our keys very soon so we can start hauling our stuff over. (Of course we got word that the place was ours the night before P went to a job - talk about down to the wire) 

Guess it looks like boxes will be my life for the next few weeks - that's ok. I am REALLY excited for this move. Its our first big time step together (P lived in our current place for about a year before we even started dating) 

Walking in the Coulees

This weekend we had NO plans! It was actually kind of a really nice break, to not be expected to be anywhere for anything. I slept in which was fantastic! Then P wanted to go for a walk. 


So we went to Pavan Park and went for a lovely walk in the trees where it was nice and cool. 


Had a wonderful walk together and just enjoyed each others company for the afternoon

Such a pretty day

Walking down the horse trail

Sexy pose or tired from walking ? Either way he's adorable

True Love <3
