Blah. It's just one those days.

Here's a photo of my girl, Trigger. She finally sat still and a photo of all the freebies I got today. I'm feeling a little under the weather so that is all.

65: 11 Questions (Really Late oops)

I just noticed that almadear tagged me in a questions post. Oops. I really new to this still but I'll give a shot. :) 

1. What is the greatest, most defining, moment of your life so far?

     When James asked me to marry him. It was so simple and even though I knew it would happen eventually,it still    caught me off guard. I was actually upset before because I thought he was ignoring me. Lol. Little did I know he spent so much time outside preparing himself. 

2. If you had to eat only 3 foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?

I'm sort of a vegetable/fruit freak. I would have to say tomatoes, french fries and avocados. In that order. 

3. Pick 5 songs you would listen in repeat all day.

This is a tough one. There are so many great songs out there.  1. Bittersweet Symphony- The Verve. 2.  The Middle- Jimmy Eat World  3. Imagine- John Lennon  4.  Ghetto Gospel featuring Elton John - Tupac Shakur 5. Esto Es Vida- Draco 

4.How would you spend your last day on earth?

Probably on a beach somewhere soaking up the sun. I miss the beach. :(

5. If you could bring any endangered species back to life, which would it be and why?

Extinct: Sabre Tooth Tiger just because it would have been neat to see one in person.  Endangered: Giant Panda and Texas Ocelot. I've always loved Pandas and Ocelot's I tried to save before in elementary fundraising. 

6. What are your top three goals?

1. Run my first marathon. 2. Finish Oprah's book club list  3. Finish A.F.I.'s 100 Years 100 Movies

7 .I admit it. Some commercials make me cry. What commercials have made you tear up a bit?

This one always makes me cry. I have to admit the ASPCA commercials are a close second. I have to change the channel because I cry over animals I can't save. 

8. If you could do anything over again, what would it be?

I would have made some different female friend choices. Seems like I always pick the ones who hurt and desert. 

9. In your opinion, is love real or overrated?

I used to think love was overrated until I fell in love with James. I learned that there is someone for everyone and sometimes it happens when you're not expecting it or looking for it. 

10.What do you always have with you when you leave your home, aside form the obvious keys and cell phone?

Glasses. I couldn't drive without them! 

11.What advice would you give your teenage self?

Don't be anti-social because you're afraid of what people might learn about your life and what you have experienced. The more you talk to others the better you feel and understand how strong you really are. 

64: Glitter Grapes, Beer Floats and King of the Hill

I don't know if it has anything to do with living here but we have been watching King of the Hill like crazy. Last night we took a last minute trip to HEB and made some simple snack recipes. I pintested the Glitter Grape recipe. It turned out awesome. The beer floats however, were a little on the strong side.

Glitter Grapes (Great healthy recipe FYI)

1 lb. of green or purple seedless grapes (bc who wants to deal with seeds :P )

1 package of your choice of  jello (I choose green grapes with watermelon jello)

1. Thoroughly rinse grapes with water. Do not pat dry!! Some water is necessary to make jello stick. 

2. Tear open jello powder and empty onto a plate. Roll wet grapes in powder until fully covered on all sides. Do this until you run out of jello powder. 

3. Place grapes with jello on a separate plate and refrigerate for an hour. Tastes sorta like sour skittles minus the guilt. 

Recipe Rating: 5/5 Everyone who knows me knows I am a huge fan of snacking (Sour Patch Kids) and this takes care of the craving without most of the calories. Did I mention also cost efficient? Yummy.
