life lately + comic relief

I decided to give the whole freezer meal thing a go. If it's even semi successful, I'll post what recipes I used and how I went about my meal prep. I'm a little concerned because most of the recipes require 6 hours in the crock pot, and I'm out of the house way longer than that for work. I'm considering just throwing these in the oven immediately after work, and letting them cook for an hour or so. Or maybe cooking them on low, then having my crock pot timer switch them to warm until we get home. Does anyone have any experience with this? Advice appreciated!

In other news, our weekend went well. Friday we went down to the UC football game with friends. I had a girls night with my best friends on Saturday. We played Kings, made up the rules we couldn't remember, and danced like fools at the bar. It was great. I love having friends who are easy to relax and have fun with. I also love that even though I'm an hour from home, 3 of my high school besties ended up living just a few minutes away. It's pretty amazing that life has allowed us to remain so close. Sunday = Jungle Jim's and brownie baking.

Now, for a couple good laughs. Am I the last one to hear about #StarbucksDrakeHands? Not sure, but this is hilarious. And creepy. You can search YouTube for the original, but I find this guys commentary on the situation much more amusing.

Last but not least, I saw this on Facebook yesterday. Kids are just too much. Anyone married and/or with kids will defiantly appreciate this list. Taken from dailynewsdig.com

A group of young kids were asked how do you decide who to marry and here are the results which are pretty amusing.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.

- Alan, age 10

(2) No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.

- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

- Camille, age 10

(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.

- Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.

- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don’t want any more kids.

- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.

- Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure)

(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.

- Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.

-Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they’re rich.

- Pam, age 7

(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that.

- Curt, age 7

(3) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.

- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

(1) I don’t know which is better, but I’ll tell you one thing. I’m never going to have sex with my wife. I don’t want to be all grossed out.

- Theodore, age 8

(2) It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.

- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN’T GET MARRIED?

(1) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?

- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is……..

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Happy Tuesday!
