Sunday Eats

Finals are upon us! Wish us luck! 

So a little about life lately... or you can skip to the awesome food at the bottom lol.

Well, we might need that luck especially cause I kicked a stool on accident in the print lab and broke two toes all crazy like. Then proceeded in my 12 hour no-break printing frenzy standing on them dang toes.... and sick.....lol! That's what I get for not wearing my brace.

Good thing we are done with Insanity! That's right, you heard us! Done with Insanity, the 9 week program :D We both are going to take our pictures soon and post them! We are doing hip hop abs for the next two weeks as finals are happening (and it's less intense on my toes) then starting Insanity all over. Yes, we are insane thank you ;)

We actually were kind of freaking out because this fall, we apply to law and nursing school! We finish in April, but will hear most likely in the winter where we will head out to.

 I might wait to apply until Austin chooses a school though, and look for community college that offers RN. (If you are wondering if I am quitting art, I would never do that. I simply and protecting myself with another passion and degree because my dystonia may spread to my right side that I use in art. I want to help people like myself in the medical field. And possibly do art therapy)  I found out that if I get my associate's nursing combined with the BFA I already am getting, it counts as an RN apparently. Anyway if anyone knows about that, you should definitely let me know! 

Austin did really well on his LSAT and some schools say they can offer a full-ride or some scholarships...tempting, tempting! I'm so excited for him no matter what he chooses. He keeps teasing his ER doctor dad though that he's going into malpractice ;) I'm pretty sure we'd be the least favorite childrens in the family. 

Two more weeks and we are also headed out to Wyoming for our first of the break! Hillary (Austin's sister) has a wedding soon. We are so excited for her. I never thought pinterest would be something I cared that much for but planning a bridal shower.... I'll admit it's loaded with great ideas! I maybe thought that was the limit for me with the whole pinterest thing, and then I happened upon rolled up chicken with herbs and cheese. 

I put my own spin on it, used olive oil, thyme and oregano, a lighter cheese, turkey bacon (non-sodium filled kind), and sautéed mushrooms inside. Then a little garlic salt on the outside, and out to the BBQ we grilled! Austin added some wilted lettuce to our dinner (family recipe, I don't think I can share!) It tastes so much like a desert... so tastey! Add some rice and roasted garlic green beans... blam it's a feast!

    1. Yup! It could be occupational therapy or dietetics still. Instead of grad school for art, I thought I would pursue another passion. I might lose my right side to dystonia, so it's another safety net just in case.

Flying Solo

Austin's been a solo man as of late....  I got super sick with a bacterial infection (as of late, more tests to come.) But before that was Austin with a 5 day flu, and then me with the flu, and then when I got better from that, I got an infection woot woot! Healthy over here! I got super flu-y again over the weekend and I won't go into details. I got a bit better and I had been fine to go teach a class on Monday at my college because I had gotten over what I though to be whatever Austin had. Then Tuesday went to my CNA class. And while I was there I was talking to a friend. She was telling me about her annoying apartment neighboors and I shouted, " UM... I'mma be sick hold on...." And I swear to St. Maria I have every trash can mapped out in that EITC building because when I went bursting down the hallway to the bathroom, it felt like friggin videogames and finding checkpoints.  I ended up cleaning the EITC bathroom stall for them.... let's...

Snowglobes of Wonder and Joy

I made snowglobes!  I've always loved those, even as a little kid. Then I saw DIY's on Pinterest, and thought.... Why hadn't I thought of making them before?? So in a nutshell, jars, hot glue, brush christmas trees (or anything plastic-y) glitter... and then to fill the jar, distilled water, glitter and some corn syrup to thicken it! I made all of these (already had jars) for $4.00! We attempted a gingerbread house with some friends... as you can see it looks like a crackhouse.    So... I think it's best I stick with the kind of art I know haha! I made a lot of books this break, and Austin can't complain cause he's an Eng. Lit.  He's been busy cooking some more amazing meals and snacks! Those are a healthy alfredo with quinoa base, and the other are applechips! Visit our Recipe page for cooking instructions .:here:. Also, for those who don't already know after my super obnoxious facebook excitement...

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...
