This tag has been going around for a while, I was starting to think nobody cared what my weird quarks. Luckily Amber wanted to know. So here goes.

1. I hate walking around in bare feet. I keep my socks on until I get in bed. It's especially bad at hotels.

2. I can't stand when things are close together, packed tight. Like when you cook the instant mac & cheese, when you get the noodles out of the microwave and they are all standing to together, looking at you. Fish scales. Or the pictures on the news of the muscles that attack your boat motor. Make me GAG!!

3. I want to have a workshop in my garage where people can come and make ceramics and wood crafts. I would even have a cute little place for the kids!

4. I love to be with my family. This might sound normal to some people, but I know some people think that's weird. I can't imagine not being able to see them. I love having them all so close. I seriously think we should all build houses in the same cul-de-sac. Then we could have our craft night in my little work shop:)

5. I really like to play Nintendo. I haven't played for a while, I miss it. Me and Mike went and saw the new 007, that made both of us want to play.

6. I love to read. All books.

7. I like having a project to work on. Most of the time I have several projects. Cross stitches, remodeling our house, painting, yard things:) I just wish I was more creative. I usually need a lot of help with my projects.

Twilight Fun

Now I've never been a big fan of going to movies at midnight the day they come out. For instance I went to one of the Harry Potters and slept through the whole thing. This was back in the day when you had to stand in line to get a good seat!! So that sucked, and everyone was pushy. I hate crowds!!! Twilight was different, for one the only line I had to stand in was to get a drink. We walked right in and sat down. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty sleepy and thought I might fall a sleep. However the movie was actually really good. I was a little worried because it had been talked up for so long, and I really liked the books. But it was really good. I plan on going to see it again only with Mike this time. I think even he would like it. The movie was great, the company was great. I went with all my sisters, sister-in-laws and my mom. But the best part of the night was when I got home, I got ready for bed, then I went and checked on Jaycee. I went in to cover her up and she lifted her little head and said "Hi" then laid right back down, so I covered her up and started to walk out and she goes "Bye, bye". She is so dang cute.

Anyway, I definitely recommend the movie. Sometimes, if you haven't read the books you will miss a little inside joke. Jaime kept turning to me and say "Did I miss something?" Because everyone was laughing and she had no idea why.

One last note our primary program is tomorrow, so pray for us, because that's the only way were going to get through it!!:)

We had a really good dinner tonight, Chicken Breast with Tomatillo Salsa. I wish I had taken a picture because it looked almost as good as it taste. It was really easy to make, from start to finish it only took about 25 minutes. And it Makes 4 serving.

2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 Skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup tomatillos
3 tablespoons snipped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1. In a resealable plastic bag combine cornmeal, flour, chili powder, salt, and pepper. add a few chicken pieces. Seal bag; shake to coat.

2. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes of until chicken is no longer pink. Turning once.

3. Meanwhile, for salsa, coarsely chop tomatillos. In a small bowl stir together chopped tomatillos, the cilantro, onion, lime juice, and jalapeno pepper. Serve over chicken.

I cooked the chicken while Mike made the salsa. We served it over rice, and it was delicious!! I'm posting this especially for Jaime, because I think she would really like it.

Until next time, enjoy!
