Bruschetta Chicken

So Justin and I are trying to use up the food we already have before we go and by groceries again. We figure that this is a good way to save on money, and not be wasteful! Plus, who doesn't have that can of spagettie sauces that has just been setting in the back of the pantry for months and months? Time to pull it all out!

Sooo... we had a lot of frozen chicken, a ton a spices I don't think we have even ever opened, and some left over mozzarella cheese! So I drizzled a little olive oil over the chicken, put it on a cookie sheet and baked it at 300 for about twent to thirty minutes. Meanwhile I cut up a tomatoe and some mozzarella, and pulled out the back pepper and garlic powder. After the chicken had cooked for 20 minutes, I pulled it out, turned it, and then put the cheeze, then tomatoes on top, them sprinked it all with some garlic powder and black pepper! Cooked it for about 15 more minutes, and vwala! yumminess!  

You could also sub in some of that left over spagettie sauce though for the tomatoes if you don't like tomatoes. Justin actually really doesn't like tomatoes, but I told him he could just tough it out since I love them! I'm such a kind caring wife. :)

New Design!

So out of things to do at work, I was forced to update my blog template this afternoon! I wanted something semi transparent, and this one the one I liked best. Weird skulls things though. Must say something about our society and our fascination with death. As a social scientist I'm sure I could try and read far more into that than necessary.

I've been kind of obsessed with spanish music lately, Julieta Venegas is probably got to be one of my favorites, but I really do love 'Tengo la camisa negra' by Juanes too. Mmmmm sweet loveliness.Probably due to the fact that spring and summer language classes are so intense, you get much more immersed into the language than in any other regular semester, but I'm really loving it. There is something lovely about being able to communicate in another language, not that I can yet mind you. Give me time. I have been struggling though to decide if I really want to take the summer term classes though. I'm signed up for Spanish and advanced writing, and I think the advanced writing class is seriously giving me an ulcer, but if I don't take it now, I don't think I will be able to take any more spanish.....decisions decisions.

Well this was a darling little rant of nothingness. I hope the world is well today!

something old.....

Mmmmmm. Sometimes the old classics are still just the best. We've been having a shout out here at work to old music today. Enjoyed some Luis, Ella, Doris, Debbie, Barbra, Gene, Judy........ mmmm mmm mmm.

And didn't they just dress the best?!? Yes please! Whatever happened to drop waist dresses and three piece suits?!?

I'm going to have to try some singing in the rain inspired dressing. :) After I make Justin watch the movie with me this weekend of course!

Ta ta for no!

Rant: Life is great, the sky is blue, and people are silly!

What is on my mind? facebook asks... well let me tell you.
The class lecture I just got out of is on my mind. I've heard it again and again and again and again.......

Love is not enough of a reason to get married.

There are many people who you could fall totally, completely in love with, whom you should never marry! And really, if you really want to, you can fall in love with almost anyone by spending enough time with them and getting to know them. I'm not saying that ideal, but often it would be better than marring someone who you "love" who isn't good for you. Too bad our world doesn't see it that way.

These are the questions you HAVE to ask yourself when you are getting married....

Do you treat him/her well?
Does he/she treat you well?
Does he/she make you a BETTER PERSON/HUMAN BEING?!?!?!

(I feel strongly about this, can you tell? :)

I think we oftten have such fase pretenses about love and marriage, only to be shacked when we get married and realize that its not at all like we imagined. Its different, with the potential to be even better, or even worse than we could ever have imagined.

I don't consider myself a pssimist, or even a straight up realist. I consider myslef an optomisitic realist.

Don't expect people to change for you, but as much as you can, make your world what you want it to be.

rant out.
