Final Installment on Then the fight started.....

Apparently there are only two more little "diddies" on Then the fight started.


I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary? " It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started....


My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?" "No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started....

Stay warm and have a great day and hopefully a good laugh.

No go on supper recipe

So I am not going to share the recipe that we tried tonight...It wasn't that it was horrible, but did not receive rave reviews from the family either. It was edible, but then it was ok now what to do w/the leftovers about 4 bowls worth of soup? It was a chicken corn chowder but had some spices that our family doesn't use a lot. I feel bad because Brent is probably going to end up eating it for lunch!

However the z.muffins were AWESOME!( look at following post for recipe) I even went wild and tried something a little different. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup oil. I used 1/4 c. oil and 1/4 c. applesauce and cut the sugar to 1/2 c. instead of 3/4c. I also had a small amount of peanut butter chips left over and needed to use. So I mixed the pb and chocolate chips. (Owen isn't going to be happy when he goes to the pantry tomorrow and finds no orange bag!)I thought they tasted just as good if not better. I even made 20 mini muffins too. I know i cut some fat, but it doesn't do you any good when you eat 4, 5, 6 or maybe 7 mini muffins at a time.. I won't name any names! So far best batch yet!

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins

I am trying to use some things in my freezer. This summer as I was shredding zucchini and bagging it to freeze I was thinking how awesome it would be to have this to use come winter...I better get to using it or I won't have room for any this summer. I know its only the end of January but you haven't seen my stash...anyway I am trying a new receipe for soup tonight and will share if its good, but I do have a recipe that I can share now because I have tried and tested this. I think they are very good. I know the title sounds like a wierd combo, but I love them and they freeze good too. I am making a double batch (or atleast my intent and might even try the mini muffin pan for a few!) I found this on all recipes. Give them a try if you have any frozen zuc's or need a feeling a little summer w/some fresh from the store. Thanks all recipes!

Mexico

So you may have noticed the change in background...2 Reasons
Reason #1-It was so nice today it got me in the mood for spring/summer. Nothing like a visual to cheer a mood. And reason #2...

MEXICO-MEXICO-MEXICO-MEXICO-MEXICO
That's right my lovely husband is taking me to Mexico for our 10 year anniversary which was in October. We are also going w/ L&L Henry (the henry bunch)...Don't worry we will be sure to post some pics. If you have any pointers...they would be much appreciated. Our plan was to learn A LOT more Spanish than we know now, but our lesson plans are falling behind. Looking forward to it. We don't leave for 25 days, but hey that's soon!!

Then the fight started...con't.

Here are a few more little liners about how fast fights start between husband and wife...I will have to say my husband should and most of the time "does" know better than some of these husbands..


I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"" Nah, she can order for herself." And then the fight started...


A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's near perfect.' And then the fight started.....


My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday and then the fight started.....

Wii for Everyone

On Sunday night we hosted Brent's parents Derald and Debbie over for supper and a night of partying!...not really they stopped by after chores and stayed for my sorry supper of egg casserole..I don't cook on Sundays, especially Sunday night! The kids have been dying to show them how everything works w/the wii. So they did wii fit-snow skiing, ski jumping, head soccer game-which I am TERRIBLE at, and a rousing 10 frames of bowling..

Garrett and Maddie bowling. Maddison really gets into it. I swear she is going to tear her rotator cuff or pull her shoulder of out socket. Watch out in baseball and tennis!

Debbie bowling..
Brent skiing- Owen cheesingDerald ski jumping..0 meters..he was a snowball 2 times in a row. Granted arthritis and first time on board doesn't really help you any.. Can't extend legs to jump...but he still thought it was fun.

Then the Fight Started

I know the title of this sounds like it could be a real doozy (sp?), but its not about Brent and I. My sister in law sent me this quick email about how easily fights between a husband and wife can start and over stupid things. I thought they were pretty funny. There was a list of them, so every now and then I will post them. Sorry if you have seen these before. I will say that Brent and I have had some of these arguments. I will leave you to decide which ones.

1. My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started..

2. My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started...

3. When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive... so, I took her to a gas station. And then the fight started...


Until next time...
