time to eat some slime

Every Sunday is now an experiment. With food! I'm posting the successful ones on this little blog.

Chicken Salsa Pizzaz:
1. Pillsbury refrigerated crust (next to the crossiant rolls in the grocery store)
2. 8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese
3. 11 ounces of salsa
4. 1 cup cubed cooked chicken

Unroll crust and place on greased pizza pan. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of cheese. Top with salsa, chicken and remaining cheese. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
DEVOUR!
* successful means that at least one person asks for seconds

My beard grows down to my toes,
I never wears no clothes,
I wraps my hair
Around my bare,
And down the road I goes.

Yoga in The Mud

PooOooooooOooooOooo mud!
Tanda and I
did yoga
in very squishy mud
our toes sunk
and it helped us (maybe just me)
keep our centers balanced
Yoga class is stressful
and
should always
be done
in mushiness!

Sizzling Hearts

This was a re-creation of Valentines Day 2008. My date and I made heart shaped hamburgers and chocolate covered strawberries. :)

Failed Attempt At Awesomeness

Last semester my printmaking class all watched The Office. They would have weekly parties and all watch together. Being so shy I never went or got invited to go. As I thought about how I could include myself I thought of a no-fail plan. I would buy printmaking supplies such as rollers and palette knifes and immortalize them in jello!

I made the jello
jiggler style

The next morning I went to class 30 minutes early so I could turn my creation into the centerpiece of the classroom table
Unfortunately
The top layer of the jello ripped off
as I was trying to upside down it on a plate
to put in the center of the table

My peers filed in
Everyone was confused
This is what I heard:
"What is jello doing on the table? And what is a banana doing inside the jello?"
My plans had been foiled.
Speaking of foil
tin foil
I'm hungry
And a tin foil dinner sounds nice.
No more jello.

El coque es mexicana mejor

This was my trip to Mexico. I loved waking up in the morning and drawing back the big curtain to my patio to see palm trees, but what was particularly breathtaking was the sound. Lying in my bed I felt as if I could hear the sun beat down on the clear sparkling water. Hearing beauty is sometimes better than seeing it. Have you ever heard a sparkle? It sounds like this:

The tourist attraction centers were very ritzy but being in the heart of Mexico made my heart so sad. Wild dogs roamed free and children slept in the street with no blankets. Most grocery stores had a little less food than a 7-11 and offered tasty treats such as this:

My favorite moment was watching a movie on the beach. Shopping was also fun, especially bargaining. I would set a price and when the seller wouldn't come down I would walk away and it was entertaining to see the sellers run after me. I bought my first family heirloom in Mexico. It's a pretty turquoise necklace that I will one day give to my first born baby girl.


I did myself a disfavor when I came home. Do I dare say it? I went to Taco Bell. My friends in Exhibit A would be disappointed by this decision. My stomach didn't hurt after consumption and the coke was lacking real sugar. Needless to say, I longed for Mexico!

EXHIBIT A

Shake Your Money Maker!

My money needs a makeover. This last year I've gotten into some sloppy spending habits that need boundaries. I know it sounds small but mind you I go to school full time and work less than part.I've decided to try to save up 1,000 dollars and once that is obtained I will take the next flight of stairs to 5,000 buck-a-roos. I plan to keep this up until I am at least into 5 figures. I think a lot of happiness comes from control, planning and evaluating. Wish me luck! Or better yet, control!

Parcel Post

I'm not going to lie, finals week was out of control this year. I was up on campus at wee hours of the morning (3:33 AM to be exact!) One of my favorite turn-outs was for my Independent Photography class. At the beginning of the semester we made contracts of what we were going to do with dirt cheap plastic Holga cameras. I vowed to take creepy carnival/amusement park pictures and took a little road trip to California. After processing the film I then had the task of figuring out how to present my images in a memorable Art Major sort of fashion. Thus, I turned my pictures into postcards and presented them to the class in your standard gray mailbox. Pretty spiffy, eh?



When I went to print my dark and graven images the lady ringing me up noted that the images were "cute." For those of you who don't know, cute is the worst compliment you can give to an art major. It's like calling someone fat "big boned" It just isn't right. *shrugs*

Bubble Gum Bubble Gum In a Dish.....

I have an inkling to get a roll of quarters and place a shiney 25 cent piece in every possible gum ball machine and/or pay phone in Logan. Just to make the world a happy place. And to endorse cavities in small children :)

Oh deer!

"My horoscope said I was going to make someone happy today!"

Book of Love

After meeting the two new editions to the family I headed over to Roy High School and was paid to take pictures of the Roy colorguard. I drove my Mom home and accidentally ran a red light. We laughed about it and talked about life. I might just move to California and live with a relative for a while. I don't know the exact details yet but everything will be revealed in time.

Shay the Shy dog

She does tricks. Shay sits, lay s or stands when prompted. She falls asleep next to my brothers bed at night. And she even smiles for pictures! Say cheese Shay.Good dog.

In 425 hours.....

.... you will be an aunt! That is the text I received this morning, although I'm sure Rachel meant to say in four to five hours instead of four hundred and twenty five! :) lols. My Dad was remarking on how Rachel is always so considerate and having the baby on a day everyone happened to have off was a case in point. Being presidents day, my Mom suggested that Rachel name her baby Abe. Others thought George would be suitable.

Rachel was a trooper. She didn't complain about a single thing and had the sweetest smile when holding Anna, whom I have endearingly nicknamed little cupcake.

Oh and Hi.

I'm Heidi. Very new to the world of blog.

The Rococo

The Swing by Jean-Honore Fragonard, it's my favorite. I love the cupcake pink dress and the flirtatious way in which the shoe is being kicked off. It makes me giggle to think that this painting was considered "boudoir" because of the sexual opportunity shown by the legs of the lover. *Sigh* makes me want to swing in a fluffy dress.

Ghost of Valentines

Valentine's Day Spoils

The bear, chocolate kisses and indulgent snicker doodles were dandy but I'd have to say that my favorite part of the gift was the box it came in!

Best Bathroom Ever!

I re-decorated my bathroom to look like a peaceful spa. The colors are mostly white, celery green, and pale yellow. Here's a look.

Snow Globe

Walking home from my night class I couldn't help but notice the snow, it was sparkling! It looked as though someone had sprinkled gold glitter over it. I felt calm and excited all at the same time.
