Nuevo

In keeping with the New Year, I am going to just share some new things goin down with Lester and I! For one, Lester got a fancy schmancy new camera..which is good news for our blog because now the pics will be better quality haha!

So then, with that new camera, he took a picture of my new hair cut! This is the shortest I've had it in ages, and most of the time I love it! Its also the first time since I think I was 16 that it has been completely my natural hair color. What do you think? Like I said I am liking it, but still getting used to it..

Another new thing we are trying is with our meal planning. It has been really difficult for me to find foods that are not only budget friendly, but also delicious and healthy. Then my Mom told me that Costco sells whole chickens for 89 cents a lb! Hello budget friendly!! The cool part is my friend Kim had blogged about how to make enough chicken for 4 meals, and also usable chicken stock from that! I have since done just this, and we have plans for chicken pot pie, chicken quesadilla soup, a chicken casserole meal, white chicken chili, chicken salad, and taquitos, which I made tonight [and are pictured below]! I'm already really excited about the effect this is having on our wallets, tastebuds and health! HOORAY!

I have also been reading a lot of good new books, per some suggestions. I am almost done with I Am The Messenger, and with shortly be starting Leviathan and The Maze Runner. After that I think I will take a hiatus from Young Adult books [although I do love that I can read stuff and then discuss it with Luke afterwards!] and go back to my roots of Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, LOTR and the possibly try out The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I suppose this is life after the Hunger Games right? Haha..can't wait till march!

Other then that, a few sucky things have happened but I am not going to take the time to dwell on them. Tonight were playing volleyball with some friends, and then is back to work tomorrow morning! Hey, it may not be glamorous, but sometimes life being ordinary is exactly what makes it EXTRAORDINARY!
