A Poem for My Husband

What Would You Say?

What would you say if I told you,

That I still find you funny even when annoying,

Or that I still get butterflies,

When you walk into the room.

What would you say if I told you,

That I still find myself starring at you for no reason,

Or that I still blush,

When you catch me looking at you.

What would you say if I told you,

That your sometimes right and I'm sometimes wrong,

Or that when your away I sleep on your side of the bed,

Just to feel closer to you. 

We Failed but Didn't Give Up

A couple of weeks back I decided to grab the stuff to make home made salsa, along with some canning stuff to make it all last. I got it home and Sean went to work with the cutting and slicing, while I hunted down the food processor and recipe. I had gotten enough for two batches, since Sean wanted to try a recipe that he found that was a little different then the one I had used. Even after boiling it and letting it stand both batches were the most disgusting salsa we had ever tasted.

But we didn't give up. The other day we went and grab some more ingredients and went to work again. This time using different canned tomatoes, next batch will be whole tomatoes, and no Cilantro. After boiling it, we thought it tasted way better then the pervious batches, and set is aside to let it cool. While it cooled we made homemade chips out of corn tortilla, and some chicken quesadillas for lunch. (You can find the recipe we used at the bottom of the page. Don't forget to boil it for 10-15 min and let it cool.)

Sean really enjoyed it, which is kinda surprizing. Some of the things I grew up eating he can't stand but then I did change some of them and added ingredients to others that he doen't like. Like green bell peppers and onions, or anything with rice.

Homemade Salsa Recipe:

1x can of Diced Tomatoes

2x can of Rotel Tomatoes

1x Jalapeno Pepper

1x Lime (for juice)

1/4 tsp of Cumin

1/4 tsp of Salt

1. Mix ingredients together in food processor and blend to your liking.
2. Boil for 10-15 min.
3. Let site til cool.

Sean Has Quit WoW

Sean decided he is over World of Warcraft and uninstalled the game and suspended his account, giving everything to his guild bank. Neither of us really planed to continue our venture when Mist of Pandaria came out, and we both agree that Cata's raid have been really disappointing. But unlike him I don't plan on just saying I'm done, at least not yet. I want to at least give MoP's raids a shot. And in truth I think he's over reacting to one bad night of raiding, not on the guilds part but on his own. He's always been the one that has to be perfect and if he can't be the best he thinks he's loser and doesn't should be playing. But I have seen a change in him, instead of arguing with me to bring the dogs in, he just gets up and does it. He also doesn't seem to be in a bad mood all the time, which he was all the time between the pressure at work and then the pressures he put on himself to be the best in game. It is a little weird that my long time gaming buddy has decided to leave the game, but he's happy and that makes me happy. I don't mind him giving everything away or suspending his account, just as long as he doesn't try to sell it again. I want him to be able to play it when or if he thinks of coming back. But now instead of spending all day playing WoW, he has moved the PS3 to his room with our smallest Tv. So he is finally playing all those games we have been buying but not finishing.

What I'm Thankful For

Thanksgiving 2011

Everyone knows Thanksgiving is the time of the year to be thankful for the things you have and for the family that is around you. It is not just for chowing down until you pop the button off you pants. It is also the time to bring family and friends together to have a great time and enjoy each others company.

It has been a long year for me with Sean deploying, Stephanie coming to stay for a few months, my mother-in-law remarrying, Jonni finding out that I have another niece or nephew on the way, Sean coming home for R&R, and the new kitten. Also with Sean coming for good, well at least til they deploy him again, in just a few days, I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

I am thankful for my wonderful family and great in-laws. My family has always supported me in everything I do, and there are very few people that can say they actually like their in-laws.

I am thankful for my husband. We may argue and not always get along but when it comes down to it I would rather have him beside me then anyone else.

I am thankful for my pets. They keep from being lonely and warm at night when Sean isn't here.

I am thankful for the roof over my head and the floor under my feet. I am thankful for the car that is in my drive way.

I am thankful for really everything in my life.

Even though I didn't really do anything for Thanksgiving this year. I tried to join in with my family in Texas with Skype, but that didn't work out on. The issue was their end and not mine. And I don't have any plans to go to any crazy sales for Black Friday. Instead I will be prepping the house for Sean's return.  

Been A Very Busy Month

This month has been really busy for me. Fist Sean came home for his R&R, which btw was the first time in his 4 deployments. And then we completely cleaned the garage, which still had boxes full of stuff from where we moved in here 3 years ago. And then we had to set up a guest room for my baby sis, Steph, to stay with us while Sean is gone and she tries to figure out what’s going on with her life. Not only that but I have been working off and on, on my final project for this graphic design class that I am in, which is due today, and I still have a lot of work to get done on it.

My two weeks with Sean was great and I loved every min of it. He would get up early and stay up late to play his little alt Rogue before I got up and cooked and we started cleaning. Btw my husband isn’t one of those WoW addicts that level alts, he spends all his time on his main, Dlog (85 Worgen Rogue). We went and got the car done; he talked me into letting him get a tablet so he won’t have to take his laptop through security, there is a really funny story to this. He also wanted to go to the movies a couple of times and out to eat. But the best night we had together was the one right before he left where we went to the fair; my sis was here for that too.  He left the 21^st.

My sister got her the 19^th, she was originally going to be here til Sean got back and spend most of her husband’s deployment here so she didn’t have to deal with his family. But then he pulled something and she was talking divorce, but now he claims he doesn’t want a divorce and wants her back. But he won’t emit to doing anything wrong, even though she has proof. I could understand them getting back together if he would just emit to the wrong and apologize so that they can take a step forward. But as long as he is not willing to do that then there is no reason to take that step. Of course it won’t mean much if someone has to tell him.

Now that Sean is gone and my sis is settled in post will become more regular again. 

Music to Calm the Soul

So life has been well a disaster area for the past couple of days. My so call uncle is wishing my mother death, guess he will never grow up. Then I learn he is sleeping with someone I have called a sister since I was about 10. And on top of that my baby sister is getting hell from her in-laws and the same so called sister. I'm really just ashamed of sharing the same blood as my uncle, and disgusted that I ever called her a sister. Well I'm trying to help my baby sis get away from the hell that has been created for her by the in-laws. She will be leaving in three weeks to come stay with me for a while so that I can finally go back to Texas and visit family and not have to pay too much for the animals and not have to worry about them, which I'm going to do no matter what. Their my kids.

But things aren't all bad. Sean will be home soon for two weeks, and I can't wait, feels like a year since he left. I know his cat Dip will be very welcoming, might and figure a way to sneak her back with him.

Anyway with all the stress that is going on the best way to calm yourself is with music, and I happened to actually logon to MySpace and found this new band that their debut album just hit stores and fell in love with the first song I heard, and rushed off to iTunes to get it. Icon For Hire, they sound alot like Paramore but I think her voice is better and the lyrics too.
