Besides starting up Giggles&Co, we haven't been too busy. School started back up on the 25th so I have been busy with three classes (another one starts in March) and our new bunco group! We have a great group of girls playing with us! My mom, Grandma, Aunt Marilee, Danielle, Christy, my friend Jennifer who I have known since third grade, and my sisters. We are also hoping for Dev and Christiana (both are Christy's daughters!)! Its gonna be a great bunco year! We will definitely be taking pictures and all of that good stuff!

Hmmm.... what else can I update you all on? Oh, I saved a Shiatsu dog the other day. I was leaving my moms house at around 7pm and there she was, crossing the busy street. I pulled over and called her over to me, she came right to me. She hopped in my car and we were on our way to my house. I called a few emergency pet clinics and Animal Control, all of whom wouldn't take her because it was "after hours on a Saturday." So, she stayed the night with us and I took her to Ramona Animal Shelter the next morning. They called me two days later to let me know that she was microchipped and they would be contacting her owner! Yay! I was more than thrilled! :]

I have ordered myself two magazines. Everyday Rachael Ray and Good Housekeeping. I have been really focusing on making new and yummy meals, instead of the boring old Hamburger Helper! Last night I made BBQ Beef Bowls! Sooo good!

Ingredients:

1lb Hamburger Meat

1 Cup of BBQ Sauce

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

Can of pillsbury biscuits

Cheddar Cheese!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400. Brown hamburger meat. Take off of heat and mix in bbq sauce and brown sugar. Place bisuits into a MUFFIN TIN, press them down to make a sort of bowl. Put mixture into each "bowl". Top with cheese. Bake for 10-15minutes! Sooo easy!

Well, hope you enjoyed the update. I will be back soon with some pictures and all of that good stuff! Everyone have a safe Super Bowl and Valentines Day! :]

Gina's Valentines Day Giveaway!

I have been really getting into looking up local/not-so-local crafty bloggers on here! I have come across a few great gals that create some really beautiful and unique things! I came across Gina and fell in love! Everyone should enter into her Valentines Day Giveaway...I know I did. Her and her husband work together to make these beautiful hearts out of antique spoons! Amazing!! Even if I don't win, I definitely think I will be getting some beautiful jewelry created by her!

Also, follow her on facebook!!

I'm obviously horrible at this...

...but at least I do it occasionally right? Thats all that counts!

Anyways, the last few weeks have been quite busy for us with getting back into our regular routines after the holiday season is over!

First of all, we had a really great time at Bill and Christy's house for New Years Eve!

My boss was out of town until the 4th of January, and I went back to work on the 5th (it was nice to have Christmas and New Years off, plus vacation!) This past Thursday I worked 15 hours straight! AHHH. I went in at 9am and got off at midnight! It was a crazy day, but well worth the money! Unfortunantely, right now, all of my money is going to my car. Recently my car had been acting up and it was needing me to put water into the radiator, urgh! Luckily, Bryans dad is a mechanic so he looked at it and let me know that I had a leak in my radiator. I bought that and had it replaced yesterday. Well, after he was done with that he informed me that I also have a leak in my overflow tank, which I need to replace as well (however, it is drivable). But then last night after I got gas, my car was sputtering really badly and jerking me all over the place! My mom says she thinks it might be a bad gas cap (if its stripped and not tightening all the way it could be letting air inside the tank, causing it to sputter) so now I have to figure out what that problem is! And on top of all of that, I need to replace my air conditioning line cause that has a leak in it and I am NOT about to go through this summer with no air conditioner! And my car registration is due this month! :] Yay for spending LOTS of money on cars, NOT!

However, on the bright side, it kind of makes me happy that I have to replace some things cause I feel like after all of this all over I will have a pretty reliable car, and most of the stuff I have bought for it has lifetime warranties on it, so that makes me feel even better! :]

Hmm, so what else has been going on... well, school starts on the 25th, I am taking 5 classes, and I am trying to find a way to somehow scrape up about $200 for school books! Although the cost of the books totally sucks, I am so excited for school! I only have 3 more semesters (this Spring, Summer and Fall) and I have my Associates Degree! Yay! Then its time to transfer to a University! :]

And last but not least, I am so excited that Valentines Day is coming up. I have a giftcard to Target so I am going to go there and get some cute Valentines decorations, and Bryan and I are going to plan something free or super cheap to celebrate (probably a picnic or a special dinner made at home, and then we'll exchange gifts!) I absolutely love this time of year! :]

Time for me to go get cleaned up and start cleaning up the house! Bye for now!
