I could eat Asian cuisine everyday.

I'm a Mary Kay consultant, but also a Sephora VIB.  When someone questions me about a product I am wearing and it isn't Mary Kay I feel guilty.

I purchased a curio for a project about a year ago.  I just had to have it.  It has been over a year and it is still in the garage and unfinished.

It upsets me that my children are growing up so fast.  I look back at their photos and get teary-eyed.

My nightmares would put Stephen King to shame.  I need to start writing this stuff down.  I could be a bestseller  .

I do yard work while my husband is at work.  He does it, but sometimes it doesn't meet my standards, so I sneak and do it while he is gone.  If he questions me about it, I act like I don't know what he is talking about.  Sadly, I have been caught in the act a few times.

I walked into the kitchen to get some water in the middle of the night and found the garbage can dumped on the floor.  Suddenly, I was no longer thirsty.  I turned around and ran back to bed.  The next morning, my husband told me about how he had to clean up garbage the night before.  I didn't say a word.

I inspect myself by looking through a mirror into another mirror.  I like to check to make sure my hair isn't thinning in the back or top.  I don't need any surprises.

Last night, I had a nightmare I had grown a full beard.  I tried to pluck it myself, since I was too embarrassed to go out to get it waxed or threaded.  I woke up in panic and feeling my chin.

I pin hundreds of ideas on Pinterest, even though I have no intention to follow through.  It just makes me feel good knowing I thought about doing it.  Maybe one day.

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff I have found it hard to find time to cook lately between Boy Scouts, swim team, swim lessons, dance class, gymnastics and many other activities.  I was only really using my slow cooker in the fall and winter, but I decided to give it a try this summer.   I wanted to give my family home cooked meals and save money from not eating out.  Tonight, I made the slow cooker version of Chicken Stroganoff. The entire family enjoyed it and it was simple to make.  I plan to keep this dish in rotation. Ingredients four chicken breasts 8 ounces sliced mushrooms 10.5 ounce cream of chicken soup envelope of dry onion soup mix 8 ounces of cream cheese  16 ounce of egg noodles 1 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter  Directions 1.  Spray  the bottom of the pot, so that the chicken will not stick. Cut the chicken into thin strips or cubes.  If you handle the chicken while it is still slightly frozen, it will be easier...

I hide snacks from my family.  This is probably why I can't lose weight.

I walked into the house to garbage all over the kitchen.  The dogs had went through the garbage can.  I told the kids to get back in the car and we left.  I made sure not to come back home until after my husband, so he would have to clean it up.

Sometimes, I watch my phone and secretly wish I will be notified that an activity I am scheduled to attend will be cancelled.
