Jacked-a-Lantern

The Winter already is coming in!
This, believe it or not, is the brightest it gets all day
for us from here on out until May/June. 



We've been keeping up on our meals, this recipe .:link:.
(Alaskan cod with chimichurri, sweet potato, and brown rice)


Whenever I get sad about Austin eating his own type of cookies...
I cope by just smelling them.


This week, Austin got his pumpkin finally! And there is definitely
a story to this one. We went Saturday to go get him one, and I spotted this
glorious beauty at Albertson's from the side of the road. But we had to go 
to Walmart first. When we got to Albertson's, it was gone :( So Austin picked
out another pumpkin. 

As we arrived at the checkout, another college student had snatched the pumpkin Austin wanted (that I spotted). Then we heard him ask, " I just want to know how
much this weighs, I have to ride my bike home and come back later to get it
because it's too heavy." We later found out that all pumpkins over 30lbs are the 
same price, and the pumpkin both he and Austin had were gigantic. 

So Austin looks at me, buys his pumpkin... then as we head out the door
he spots it placed down....

And does the good ol' switch out. 

Yes, Austin ruined a person's Halloween.

    That picture of you with your face in the bowl is hysterical.

    Thank you! Yeah We had a box of sugar cookies left in our food storage for holidays, and so Austin cooked them rather than buying snack-y things. And you know those are my favorites! I had to smell them haha!

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...

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...

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...
