Weekend Recap

What a nice, cozy, chillout weekend!

I did nothing urgent this weekend although I did a lot of cleaning!!

It was sooooooooooo nice to get the spring cleaning in full swing - I love love love a clean home!!!

It just smells soooooooooooo good now!!!

Here is a pic recap of what my doing nothing weekend looked like.

Below is Waliacha looking really proud and cute (I must say). This is Lucky my 16 year old cat that hates everyone!!! She has apparently now grown fonder of Waliacha than me....he is her new buddy and she now chooses to lay on him and not me :-(
Oh well, it is nice that SOMEONE likes him more than me!!! LOL





Another picture of the new buddies.......

And another....

Here is a picture of my WAY healthy banana nut wheat muffins....

And here is the recipe...

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
1/4 cup applesause
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup smashed soy nuts

Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).
Combine oil, honey, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas in a bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, salt, and baking soda. Make a well in dry ingredients, and add the banana mixture. Mix together until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake 1 hour in preheated oven. Test for doneness, and cool on wire rack.

(I followed this recipe above but I poured into cupcakes and baked for about 15 min.)

YUMMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!!!!

Here is my new china cabinet with my china (Sweet Leilani) and crystal all loaded. I am still working on the organization of everything in it, but this is the jist! I love it sooooooo much!!! I was married like 15 years ago for a very brief 6 months and this china has remained in boxes ever since....It is soo nice to get it out and display it and have a little happiness from it!! The bottom shelf is all stuff that my mother or grandmother has passed down and a few collectables....my new favorite thing in the condo!

Note: my very few Cats Meows across the top!! I would love to get more but dont travel much - if any of my bloggy friends live near a place that sells them I would gladly pay you to pick me up a few from special places in your area......

Anddddddddddd new shoes......

Andddddddddd more new shoes (these are the coolest ever - they have a metal heal with rhinestones in them and they were only $20)....

Misc Post of Phone Photos

Here is a fun post!!! At least fun for me!!! Hopefully for you too!
I have a camera phone however, I do not pay extra (I am far too cheap) on my cell phone plan to send pics...so after I take a fun picture of something I wanted to capture...it sits there in my phone for a while. Sooner or later I get one on there that I have to post or until I get alot and then I download them onto disc and save.

Here are a few of my favs...

This picture is from Chester, WVa...we drive past this exit everytime we go to my parents house from PA and I always say "someday I am stopping to see this close up and get a picture" but we never do...well, finally last summer we got off the exit and did a drive by to see it - JUST as amazing as I thought it would be in person!!!! RIGHT?!?!?!



This is Waliacha after he lived in the Advanced Auto Parts Parking lot for three days trying to get his beloved Cadillac to run again...needless to say after lots and lots of money and convincing...he finally had it towed to Sears mechanics and after he got the quote to repair he scraped it and bought a new Sonata (under lease) yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I HATED that car!
This one below is the best!!! We all went on a Target shopping trip on Saturday when I was in Columbus visiting the new baby and my family. My niece Jordan wanted to get in the cart...I thought she was joking....she was not!!!
It was such a proud moment for me - you have no idea!!
I am the queen of doing stupid things for fun and she is following brilliantly in my footsteps!!! WOW - I love this child more and more everyday!!!!!!!!!!!! (PS-I am sure it was only okay because she KNEW she would not run into any friends as she was hours from home - little did she know when I took this picture I was serious about posting it on the internet)!!! LOL
