Bless Your Heart

Yesterday I took advantage of double coupon day at the grocery store, then raced home to throw together my first crock pot meal in my new crock pot. Mom gave it to me for my birthday. I cut up an onion & pepper, threw those in with a cut up chicken, some cream of’s soups, a beer and some garlic then ran out of the house to try and catch a movie on time. I met up with my sisters at my mom’s house where we hung out for a little while with Morgan’s new kitten, Roger Shakakahn. My family always names their animals weird names. He’s really cute. I forgot my camera though, so no pics as of yet. We watched Sara’s wedding video, it was really good and made me regret that we didn’t have one done. But, what can you do now? So then we went to see Signs. We were going to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but my Mom wanted us to wait and see that when she can go too. I thought Signs was pretty good. I liked the suspense & the comic relief, the kids were really well cast- I thought it was neat how they were both serious and cute all at the same time. They didn’t do much along the lines of wrapping up the whole deal with the aliens. Why did they come? Are they coming back? Etc. But I think the aliens part was secondary to the rest of the plot line, so it didn’t really matter.

After the movie I went home and finished up my crock pot creation. Husband came home and we had dinner & watched Collateral Damage. Two movies in one day. But he really wanted to see it. We were really impressed with our crock pot dinner. The chicken was so tender it literally fell off the bone. It was really good- and very tasty. Neither one of us was brought up on crock pot cooking, so this is all new stuff for us. Now we’re all excited about what can we make next in the crock pot! How lame & domestic can one couple get?? =)
