Tomorrow we'll be celebrating Fat Tuesday, which means Red Beans and Rice for dinner and hopefully a Kings Cake if I get a chance to bake one before work. It also means the following day is Lent. And even though my family does not belong to a certain church, or go to church on a regular basis; I still like to participate in the Lent tradition.
Each year I have tried to give up something different. Last year I gave up online shopping, the year before that it was carbonated drinks, and the year before that I gave up chocolate. So to do something different for 2011 I've decided to give up Facebook. Yes, roll your eyes. But Facebook really does help pass the time while I'm at work. Of course that’s once my work is done. :)
What are you giving up for Lent?

Flashback Friday
(11/1998)
OMG! How young did we look? And what were we thinking when it came to our hairstyle choice? I can't believe it has already been 12 years since I feel in love with my wonderful husband. Grant it, we haven't been together all 12 of those years, but we have for 8. Actually, it's more like 8 1/2 years if you count the 6 months we "dated" when we first meet back in 98'.
Sometimes I wonder what would it be like if we had stayed together since the beginning. Would we still be together? Would we still be as happy as we were the day we got married? Would we still be in love? The more I think about it, the more I know the answer would be... No.
We needed that time to find ourselves; to grow. Not only as individuals, but also as friends. We needed the sadness and heartache that came along with that growth to understand what we really wanted in life. What true love really meant to one another. That you must be true to yourself before you can be true to someone else.
But most of all, to know the best way to begin a relationship is through a friendship. And the best way to begin a marriage is by marrying your best friend. Which is exactly what we did! :)

Happy National Margarita Day!
I thought since it's National Margarita Day it was only fitting to share my favorite recipe for this yummy slushy drink!
6oz frozen limeade concentrate
6oz tequila
6oz beer
fresh orange
ice
~ Fill your blender pitcher with ice. Pour in half a can of frozen limeade; place the rest back into the freezer till your next batch. Add tequila and half a can of beer (light beer works well). Drink the rest of the can while blending. :) Slice the orange in half and squeeze one side into the pitcher; save the other half for your next batch. Blend until it reaches the consistency you like. Enjoy!
