Grillin' it up!

Sometime last week I got to grill on my NEW GRILL for the 1st time. I spent a ton on a new propane tank at Stripe's. I had priced propane at several different places. For a new tank it was all pretty much the same price....about $50....dang! No wander I haven't grilled on it yet. Anyway, got the propane and then headed to the grocery store. I ended up with steaks, asparagus, and pork 'n beans. Oh my gosh, let me tell you! It was GOOD!!!!! Here is my creation being prepared....
Please note the burner on the side - Yup! I cooked it ALL on the Grill. Ha. That night while we ate we watched "Flight" with Denzel Washington. Crazy what people with put to the side to prove a point. But overall a good movie. I think the dinner was the best part though.

Since then I have used the grill 2 additional times. I am loving it. I have only cooked steak and some vegetables - I am anxious to try chicken and see if I can get it just right! I am telling you...that's the best way to cook asparagus. I want to try some kind of squash veggie blend but I am the only one in the house that eats squash. So, probably not. Man, I LOVE TO COOK.

Just a side note - the day after I bought the propane I found it for $29 at Sam's - UGH!

My Valentine

Ok, so I know it is a little late but before I take it down I wanted to share a quick picture of my Valentine's decorations. I was at Hobby Lobby one day and found the cutest pink, silver, and black chandelier thing. It was so cute. So, before leaving for work on Wednesday night I hung it in the living room. That way it would be there at midnight for the start of Valentine's Day. I forgot to take a picture of it. But I did snap a picture of my table arrangement. I have begun using this tree thing a lot. But I thought it turned out very cute and wanted to share it with you.

We did not do a lot on Valentine's Day. I got off work that morning and received a few cards. I felt very special. I gave out some gifts - one that was made at Custom Ink.com. I mention this because the shirt came out excellent. If you are ever in need of making a custom shirt - this is the place to go. I was so happy with my order. Then off to the doctor's office. After returning, Amber, Gladys, and I went to spend some time with the girls and gave them some little valentine gifts. We also tried out a new restaurant in town. It was called The Other Cafe. The price was decent and the food was pretty good. It was pretty quiet in there. After dinner we went back home to rest for about an hour and a half and then back to work for me. So, all in all it was a good day. I don't really place much importance on this day but think it is fun to do random things for those I love. Hope, you all had a great day.

FINALLY

So, it has been almost a month since my last post. Not a lot has been going on, EXCEPT..... My HEALING process! 10 days ago, I went back to the doctor (for the 3rd time). By this point she is worried because the antibiotics are having NO effect on the bacterial infection and my glands are still swollen up a lot. She wants me to consider seeing and Ear Nose and Throat Specialist. But with some luck she tries me on a stronger antibiotic - strong enough to cost $100!!!!! Anyway, I leave the office with little hope and another shot. Let me just say, 2 days after starting the new antibiotics, I started feeling better! Over the weekend I felt good enough to hang out with my mom and get my nails done. I still get worn out pretty easily and am still taking things slow. I guess after being so sick for over a stinking month, my body needs time to recover! But the good news is that I went yesterday for my follow up and everything looks great! I just swallowed my last antibiotic and am feeling pretty good! Let's see what trouble I can get into this weekend!
