Thank heaven it's Thursday.

So, today at school I got two compliments. Z sat on my lap and said that I smell nice. Thanks, Z. That, and a few boys today told me they like my Uggs. Yeah, the ones I talked about a month or so ago. And they liked them. One of them rubbed them for a while, I'm wondering if he was expecting a genie to pop out. Instead, he got me. And I didn't pop out of anything. But he did say that my boots were really soft. I think that's a compliment, right?


Question - anyone seen any good movies lately? I'm talking more the rentable/Netflixable kind. I saw Riding Giants and really liked it.


Here's what we had for dinner tonight - Rebekah's Fettuccine Alfredo. I'm not sure where she got it. It's not exactly good for you, but it's delicious!

REBEKAH'S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

SERVES 2 - DH and I are stuffed.

- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

- 1 cup heavy cream I used half and half in attempts to make it "healthier"

- 2 eggs, beaten

- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated parmesan cheese We like just a little less

- 2 teaspoons minced garlic : You may like more or less I always love more garlic than most!

- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley We only have dried, but it's still good!

- 8 ounces fettuccini, cooked al dente and drained

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the cream. Whisk the eggs and cheese in a bowl. Stir into the cream mixture gradually. Add the garlic and parsley. Cook until thickened bringing to a slight boil and then reduce heat to low, stirring constantly. Serve over the hot pasta. :) Enjoy!

Surf's Up!

Good news - we went to a church we might like today. Again, we judged it based upon the music, the sermon, and not knowing more than 2 people there. I guess we know one, DH's friend from school who recommended it to us... but it still feels like we're judging something so big on so little knowledge. We'll try again next week and see how it goes :) Woohoo!

Also, does anyone have any ideas about cabins in the Gatlinburg area? We're thinking about going to the Smoky Mountains for Spring Break. Anyone want to join us? (We'll also check out the Armed Forces Vacation Club too). We'd love any advice about that area and what to do there.

Dh and I watched Surf's Up last night. Dude, that was so funny, but I'm not sure it was that funny for people who don't know surfing. There were tons of jokes I wouldn't have understood BD (Before dh). I love netflix - it keeps me busy while DH is studying and I catch up on all kinds of things. Anyone seen any good movies lately? I'll add them to my queue.

I'm super-excited about an opportunity that has come up. We're not sure if it will work out, so I'm not going to post too much about it yet... but if it works out, I'll be one super happy sheila!!
