Weekend.....

What a weekend.... is it bad that we didn't participate in Halloween festivities? We went out to dinner at Papa Perez in downtown Bryan (I LOVE this place).... and we made sure to not go back to the house to hand out candy to trick or treaters....i feel kind of like we were "bah humbug" but I am just not a fan of the truck load of kiddos being dropped off at one end of the block and left to roam the streets of strangers until you get back to the truck at the next street over... a bit scary if you ask me.... and man do the weirdos come out on halloween..... why do girls use halloween as an excuse to dress provacitively? Do they really need attention that much? I mean seriously?!?! I am embarassed for them.

Lets move on to Saturday.... people were still dressed up from the night before at the game on saturday.. We had a guy come in to Aggie Locker dressed as a gladiator. Told me i could take a picture with the gladiator for $1.... i mean the temptation was there, but I had to say no.... i was working :) Come to find out...gladiator....one of my employees boyfriends... NICE! Anyway, Ags win so thats always a plus!!

Sunday... we were somewhat slackers on Sunday and did not make it to church... Tyson's family was in town and came to see our new house....which they lovingly approved of. YAY!!! We did work in our yard, work on a buffet table that we are refinishing and bought a new grill!!!! I was so excited about the grill....whoop!!! We already cooked steaks last night...they were YUMMY!

So the weekend is over and Monday is over too..... looking forward to this next weekend to be over....YAY for home football games being done and I get my weekends back!! WHOOP!!

Tyson and I will be married a year on Monday November 17. We still don't know what we are going to do.... any suggestions?

We're MOVING.....

So..... on Wednesday we found out at work that they are rebuilding/renovating the MSC and that we, the bookstore, and everyone else in the building have to be out by May/June... So we are "homeless" with our jobs.... Nobody really knows where they will be relocated to on campus, but do know that we will be back in action May 2012.... YAY for 3 years of waiting... In the meantime we may be in G. Rollie, maybe in a "bubble" like the new indoor track facility....who knows!! It's exciting to be getting a new store...... Yesterday they had an open forum for the new MSC renovation... and the 2nd question asked was "What's gonna happen to the grass?" Really??? We are about to not have student center for 3 years and people don't have new destinations for their offices, but you are worried about grass....geez kids!!! so YAY for moving locations in the summer... WHOOP!!!

Recipes.... the easy ones

I decided to post a few recipes that I think others might enjoy.... I am a set it and forget it type cook and like things simple.

I LOVE to bake!!! One of my favorites is a Sock-It-To-Me cake. It is so moist. And of course its EXTREMELY healthy... HA

1 box of Duncan Hines Golden Butter Cake Mix
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 stick of butter (softened)
4 eggs
1 cup of Sour Cream

For Center Swirl:
3 TBS. Brown Sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and pour 1/2 the mixture into a bundt pan (grease and flour pan). Then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture over batter. Next, pour the rest of the batter on top. Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.

You can make a glaze to pour on top with powdered sugar and milk.



Another Favorite is what my mom calls "Working Woman's Roast". This one is great. Put it on in the morning before you leave for work and dinner is ready when you get home!! LOVELY!!

1 roast (chuck or pikes peak is best)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. Lipton Onion Soup Mix (dry)

Place roast in crock pot. (Add potatoes and carrots if desired) Spread soup over top. Next sprinkle onion soup mix over that. Cook on low for 8 hours. Your roast is ready and the gravy is already made.

Hope you guys enjoy these 2 as much as I do....

yIKEs....

So both of us are home today...because of Ike. Tyson's school is a shelter, and therefore they cannot have school with evacuees there as well. Me, yeah not real sure why we are off. A&M cancelled classes and closed the campus until Sunday. We had to cover all the computers and registers JUST IN CASE. Are you kidding me? Put that crap outside and maybe we can get NEW technology. GENIUS idea i thought!! haha. Anyway, Tyson has mowed the yard and I have cleaned the living room and kitchen. I am really not sure what to do with myself. I guess take in all the TV and electricity I can before we lose power.... IF we do lose power. I am just not sure how bad it is going to be up here in BCS. I guess we will see later tonight. I've done all the laundry... I've cleaned..... *sigh* what to do to pass the time today... maybe I will just read a good book!! OR take a nap!!! YAY!!

But in all seriuosness..... my prayers are with those that are down in the areas that are being hit already....BE SAFE!!!

Our Humble Abode

Here are the pictures I said I would post....eventually... We are still "moving in" and haven't quite finished decorating...but you get the idea! Enjoy!!
