Day 52 (221) Feeling Good

Well it's been a long week.  Kids started school and a whole new schedule begins.  Exercise?  What exercise?  It's also been a patiently waiting stressingful week.  Ive had very little work this week (ended up with only 14.25 hours) and am still waiting for Vanderbilt to get back to me about my start date following my background check.  Maybe I just don't remember how long they've taken on past jobs, but it just seems that if you entered my name in a government system the little hour glass wouldn't spin very long and even then would spit out that I've had approximately 14 speeding tickets in my life!  :O  So I feel in limbo. 
Even my great new magazine from Kathi, there are tons of recipes I want to delve into, but am trying to keep grocery lists shorts and minimal - especialy after school shopping this past week!
Tonight we had our good friends over for our monthly (which is sometimes bi-or tri-monthly) Game Night!  We usually order pizza, salad and a dessert.  I thought I'd treat them and asked if they minded if I make our pizzas!!  Of course, they didn't!
Lots of good ingredients.  Yes, that is pepperoni, but really, who isn't gonna want pepperoni on their pizza?  And my sauce was even better this time!!! I had to almost sneak this photo and sure enough hubby came around the corner exasperated saying, "You take photos of your food?  What is WRONG WITH YOU?" and laughing.  He just doesn't get it.  :(
For dessert I tried a recipe I hadn't had in forever!  Margarita Keylime Pie in a Pretzel Crust!

 Oooh that looks like all whole grains, doesn't it?  Well I'll confess its melted butter, crushed pretzels and a little sugar!  It was awesome!

 Lots of lime, lime juice, lime zest and margarita flavored Jello!  oh and light Cool Whip!

 It was sooooo good!


Our good friends Dylan and Angela! 
We play games the kids can join us with, too!  Surprisingly that is Rummy which is close to poker and we use chips!  LOL

And for my decluttering/cleaning attempts I found a new website.  http://flylady.net/  You actually get set up on a routine for your home, for free.  The first step is Shiney Sink!  All I can say is WOW!  I have one clean sink!  I hope to continue her schedule and get and keep my home in tip top order!

OK, Sheri and I talked about Flylady. I started reading the site, and thought it sounded really cool. When Sheri told me about how she was able to purg and just pitch things, I swear my chest started to get tight and I started to panic a little. I guess that means that I'm really going to need to start going through my "stuff" and making some of those hard decision.
