{Day 5 March 30, 2010}

Today I followed Mrs. Ashley on her photoshoot for Miss Shaylynn...She was super sweet and let me capture a few photos to add to my website--I chose to show this one for my 365 b/c it really was ALL about the flowers for this shoot. Miss Shaylynn only wanted to pick flowers and hand them out!! She is super adorable :)...you can see more on my facebook fan page!


I cooked the recipe with scallops and pasta--I have never had scallops so I also bought shrimp..just to be on the safe side...GOOD THING I DID... I do not like scallops..I also bought a ceasor [sp] salad to eat on the side...it came with ceasor salad dressing...I also found out that I do not like ceasor dressing...dinner was a disaster tonight!! I will probably end up making Corey (he gave his dinner to Joe) and I grilled cheese later--YUM!

{Day 4-March 29, 2010}

So I feel a bit on the country side lately--I may even buy a pair of overalls!
I have been working in a flower bed, and messing with fruit trees (so that I have fruit to take to the farmers market--yep--I NEED overalls)..but today was the topping on the cake..I had Corey put up a clothes line for me!! It's small but it's helpful...I'll be glad to get back to modern day technology as soon as I hit the lottery :)

Yesterday I posted a recipe from The Pioneer Woman--Chicken Picatta--I made it for dinner tonight and it was GOOD--I mean GOOD--I made some changes though to fit my taste:


1st--I marinated my chicken over night in vinager,lemon juice, and italian seasonings--this made the chicken TO DIE FOR!!!

2. By accident--though I am not sure how..the bowl was sitting 2 inches from me--I forgot to dredge my chicken in flour before frying it--still tasted YUMMY!!

3. Because I am not a big fan of lemon and I had already marinated my chicken in lemon juice--I did not add any extra lemon to the sauce--It was still GOOD!!

4. Because I forgot to dredge my chicken in flour, I added a couple tbs to the sauce to help thicken up a bit--yep STILL good!!


The picture on the recipe cards belong to The Pioneer Woman but this picture below is MINE--yep--it not only taste good it looks good!!

{Day 3-March 28, 2010}

Today was a boring day...I had the fun task of backing up all of my documents on my desktop so that I can put them on my new laptop..YAY what fun :) ... I should have already had them all backed up...it's what I get for not making a good decision....Anywho here is a photo of my new laptop with my PINK mouse...aaaawww I LOVE my new PINK wireless mouse.....

{Day 2-March 27, 2010}

Last year I bought 4 trees--they all had leaves on them when I bought them but they quickly lost their leaves--I thought I killed them!! Turns out I didn't and here is this proof....
I have a Yoshimo Cherry Tree that sits in the front yard and on the side of the house I have a pear tree, a peach tree, a plum tree, and blueberry bushes....as well as yellow and coral colored teacup roses (not pictured)... I spent my afternoon adding flowers to the flower bed {Thanks MOM}...and then headed over to the flea market...as they were closing {BOO}...I really wanted to pick up an orange tree and an apple tree..maybe Sunday.....

{Day 1--March 26, 2010}


Today is the first day of my personal 365 day photo blog. I am excited to be doing this project and see how things change over time! I will post a {or many} photo(s) everyday of something that happened that particular day..with a short story..not that my life is very interesting but it will be fun to re-read this later in life!



Corey's dad, Carl, came into town {from TN} this weekend--he is heading back home in the morning---well we had a few left over biscuits from cracker barrel this morning so I thought I will try to make some homemade biscuits {with the help of Bisquick--of course} and I found a recipe online for homemade country gravy {look for that recipe under the page for recipes}. We enjoy Carl's company and hate to see him leave but it was a nice change for him to drive here instead of us making the drive!
