HOMEMADE QUISEDILLAS--YUM!!!

My hubby & I were eating out the other night & had some 'Quisedillas' (sorry if that's spelled wrong) & he said--'WE COULD DO THESE'--AT HOME!!! So, we tried, for the first time, the other night & they were GREAT!!!

He found some 'HOMEMADE' Flour Tortillas at our Grocery Store (which were a BIT harder to separate, but tasted MUCH BETTER than the 'regular' kind). He then cooked up 3 Chicken Breasts & cut them up; and, then we had 3 different shredded cheeses, of course; but he also layered some 'Sun-Dried Tomato Spread' from California on them; and then he added jalapenos to his & I put green olives on mine & cooked them in the oven--YUM! YUM!!

We forgot to put anything on the top of them & he says he would have liked some Olive Oil brushed on the tops of his & when I warmed my leftovers up, I put some butter & then more CHEESE on top of mine & they were EVEN BETTER than the ones you get in the Best Mexican Restaurants!!!!!!! And, they were BETTER the 2nd day, like Lasagne is.

Really EASY & pretty cheap & VERY nutritious & HOMEMADE--you can't get better than HOMEMADE, right??!!!!! I just HAD to pass this on--TRY THEM--THEY'RE REALLY GOOD!!!!! I would think even the YOUNGER kiddos would like them--put their favorite toppings in there.

A 'NEAT' NEW PRODUCT/PACKAGING!!!

I was looking for some more Dishwashing Detergent--for the sink/by hand--the other day & 'FOUND' some 'NEW' DAWN 'Siimple Pleasures' that has an BUILT-IN Air Freshener in the bottom of the bottle.

I bought the 'APPLE & PEAR' fragrance & I just LOVE IT!!!!! I didn't use to KEEP my dishwashing liquid UP/by my sink, BUT I DO NOW, because it makes OUR WHOLE KITCHEN SMELL SO FRESH, LIKE FRUIT!!! It's the GREEN one & STILL is 'hard' on GREASE!!!

I forget the other choices of fragrance, but I do remember there were choices, and I can tell you, the 'APPLE & PEAR' one is SUPER!!
Much Love!!!!!

ANOTHER 'GREAT' FIND...

I read recently about Eva Longoria (the 'Desperate Housewife' who is about to marry Tony Parker, from the SA Spurs, ON 7/7/07--neat, huh??!!!) that she never has ANY problem falling asleep because she cleans her face with a 'Facial Sauna' before going to bed.

So, I've been looking for ONE OF THOSE & finally FOUND ONE at 'Bed, Bath & Beyond' the other day--it's called: "Revlon's Ionic Hot and Cold FACIAL SAUNA/SPA" & IT WORKS--not only does it CLEAN YOUR FACE--all the dirt comes out & in a very SHORT amount of time, it makes your pores smaller, then; AND helps you fall asleep FASTER because you're MORE RELAXED!!!--VERY NEAT, huh???!!!!!

The cost is VERY reasonable--something like $30--I just HAD to pass this on, since I LOVE mine so much, ALREADY==ENJOY!

SOME THINGS I'VE SEEN RECENTLY.....

Just the other day at the Grocery Store, I was finished shopping & walking to my vehicle--a 1999 Isuzu RODEO--(that I've had for quite a few years, now)--and, it's RED--a 'dark' red--and, as I was trying to OPEN MY DOOR--to unload my groceries--I realized my/the door WASN'T opening & I looked inside & saw a DIFFERENT interior for the seats AND there were papers on the 'passenger' seat, which I did not leave in MY Rodeo, so I LOOKED UP & MY Rodeo was 2 MORE spaces down/over & in between them, on the opposite/facing side was ANOTHER, RED RODEO, JUST LIKE MINE--so, there were 3 of them IN A ROW--(and mine was the 3rd one!)!!!!!!!!! I had NEVER seen that before--3 RED RODEO'S IN A ROW & may never again, but it was QUITE NEAT!!!!!!!!!!

Also, I have noticed recently that there is the CUTEST, dark Gray, Carin Terrier that lives on the CORNER of 143rd & Mur-Len in our town & he's usually OUT in his BIG back yard RUNNING around & he is SO VERY CUTE running--I think his legs are shorter than both our Carin's--and, besides being SMALLER than our Opie--WHO'S BD IS TODAY, the 12th--HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OPIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!--he looks just like him. He is SO CUTE running around in his back yard that every time I pass that intersection, I 'look' for him & HE MAKES ME SMILE & LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!!
He's just THAT CUTE!!!!!!!!!

And, on the way home, today, I saw another doggie being walked by his 'Mama' & I think he was a PUPPY--one of those 'Rat Terrier's' maybe--that are all white except for one brown spot around ONE EYE, you know???!!!!!!!!! I bet he didn't weigh 3 pounds!!!!!!!! He was SO CUTE!!!! Almost looked MORE like a 'RAT'--HA!!!!!

So, BE SURE to keep LOOKING AROUND you, as you're driving--and, still BE SAFE, of course--and SEE what's "OUT THERE" to amuse us & make us SMILE & BE HAPPY!!!!!!!! I've certainly gotten/SEEN 'my share' lately & wanted to pass it on to all of you. One place we normally DON'T LOOK UP AT much is OUR SKY, especially AT NIGHT--try that!!!!!!!!! MUCH LOVE!!!

'I CAN SEE CLEARLY, NOW'.......or

'Oh Happy Day' or 'I'm NOT that far OFF'!!!!! All could be good titles for this post about my recent LASIKS SURGERY on both eyes. That last one is an EXACT QUOTE from my Dr. Grin--I know I told him he SHOULD have been an DENTIST--& he's going to have 2 kids become doctors, but they're NOT going to be Dentists, EITHER!!! I also asked him IF I could have that typed out & SIGNED by him!!!!!
The surgery itself went SUPER--only just a bit 'UNcomfortable' & my left eye NEVER hurt, AT ALL--isn't that AMAZING?!! My right eye FELT like I could FEEL where the first 'cut' went in--maybe just a tad too deep??? But, it went away & I was TOTALLY PAIN FREE in 2 DAYS--not bad, huh?!!
I can see our clock, at night & during the daytime, FROM our bed--YEA!!!!!!!!! Although, I don't wake up much during the night to want to know--it's a GOOD THING!
My eyesight has fluctuated some--it was clearer on Wednesday than on Thursday & Friday last week--weird, I thought, but I called & the 'lady' said that it was 'NORMAL'. Okay, and it's NOT 'exact', YET--I need to be a BIT more PATIENT & WAIT for another couple of weeks to pass & it should be 'RIGHT ON' by then & just getting BETTER for the next 3 to 6 MONTHS, even!!!!!
So, even though I'm needing otc (over the counter) reading glasses to read & type on our computer, for now, that SHOULD PASS & I SHOULD be able to READ WITHOUT GLASSES in a while--YEA!!!!!!!!! I wonder IF I need a 'note' to go with my Driver's License, now--that 'says' my eyesight is corrected by glasses?????!!
It is VERY NEAT not needing to put my glasses on every morning when I get up!!!!!
SO, I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND any of you 'out there' to GET THIS SURGERY, if you can & IF you live around here--give me a call or email & I will GIVE YOU Dr. Grin's number--HE'S simply WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!
They will TAKE CARE of my eyes & ANY 'problems' that MIGHT arise for the NEXT YEAR on my one-time fee of ONLY $1,700 per eye!!!!! It's MUCH CHEAPER than it used to be & all computerized!!!
It's SUCH a BLESSING to be able to SEE GOOD with no 'on-going' correction!!!!!!!!!
THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! And, Dr. Grin & his experience & expertise!!!!!!! MUCH LOVE!

THIS ONE 'CAME TO ME' FROM 'ABOVE'!!!

I've been thinking about: 'THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT'--from Galatians 5:22-23, and in the past I've even tried to 'work' on some of them, from time to time, SPECIFICALLY--you know--TRYING to be MORE PATIENT, HAVE MORE JOY & SELF-CONTROL!

BUT, something 'came to me' as I was typing up those Bible verses for our 5th Grade Class this Sunday--THESE ARE FRUIT--like FROM A TREE--and, a Apple or Orange or Lemon TREE DON'T have to 'WORK' on producing their FRUIT--they JUST DO, because they ARE that tree.

So, MAYBE instead of my 'working' on 'becoming' better, I need to 'work on' WHO I AM--just BE MORE CHRIST-LIKE & have a CLOSER RELATIONSHIP with God & His Spirit IN ME & then I will 'automatically'/in season PRODUCE MY 'FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT'.

Sounds simple, but not 'easy'--takes time & effort & getting into God's WORD MORE. I already 'pray without ceasing' pretty good--I'm sure it could get better--but, once our 'boys' went off to College, I really GOT INTO THAT! I DO 'talk to/with God' ALL DAY LONG, off & on--even OUT LOUD sometimes, when I'm by myself (& our doggies--they're used to it/me). I feel like saying my REQUESTS OUT LOUD really 'gets the message' to God that I'M SERIOUS--plus, I repeat them, too, which I think is ok--I know He HEARD me the first time, but that way, it SHOWS Him HOW important it is TO ME!!!

Well, didn't mean to 'get off' on the Prayer 'thing'--BUT, I've never heard the 'FRUIT/TREE/WHO YOU ARE' thing before & wondered if I just 'MISSED IT' or IF no one has ever SAID IT???!!!!!!!!!
If not, I think it's RIGHT & TRUE & needs to be PASSED ON!!!

I'd LOVE to know what YOU think--out there--if you would like to comment.....MUCH LOVE!
