For Good

From the musical Wicked

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the thing I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

And because I knew you...

Because I knew you...

Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good.

Rambling!

So I have been thinking lately that I don't watch tv to much, and when I do I watch it down stairs. Since I stopped watching tv, just because I have no reason really, I decided to take my box of a tv out of my room and this resulted in my wanting to move my room around. Big surprise right? If you know me, it's not a surprise at all. But this time I mean really move it around. But as I got thinking about it, it wouldn't work how I wanted it so I am leaving it.








This also got me thinking I better marry someone who is willing to let me rearrange furniture often. Or marry someone who is willing to let me spend money on redecorating. Better yet someone who will buy me a house with a big storage room, because I know I am going to be one of those women who, when her kids move out one by one, will have one of their rooms dedicated to seasonal decorations! Because I will have one of those houses that will have fall decor everywhere from the mantle of the fireplace to fall leaves in the laundry room just because I can. Maybe I should marry a attorney hahaha

Sometimes

I hate being a girl. Nuff said

White Chili Chicken

I mean White Chicken Chili







Yummy!

I doubled mine this time due to the amount of chicken we had to thaw (since there were five GINORMOUS chicken breast in a zippy)

1 lbs chicken breast cubed
1 medium white onion
1 1/2 teas garlic powder
Sauté in oil (olive oil for a healthier sauté)
Put in crock pot with:
2 cans great northern beans rinsed (make sure its the 15 oz can)
2 cans 14 oz chicken broth
2 cans diced green chilies
1 teas salt
1 teas ground cumin
1 teas oregano
1/4 teas cayenne peppers
1/2 teas ground black pepper

Let cook in crock pot on high for about a hour after it is heated through or until chicken is done

Add 1 cup sour cream and or 1/2 cup whipping cream.
I just add the sour cream and not whipping cream due to saturated fat content. (those darn high cholesterol genes)
Add sour cream after so it doesn't curdle. If you desire add it to individual bowls instead of whole pot of soup.

This morning.

So last night I got home at 1 AM, don't freak out! I was hanging out with friends. I didn't drive. The boy did ha.we went to Raquels house and hung out played some ping pong, talked, laughed, watched a movie, you know hung out. Well while I was. Watching the movie I almost fell asleep. But I didn't and that's what counts right? Well as my friend started to walk back to his car from walking me to my door, I told him to let me knows when he gets home I may be asleep but let me know anyways. Because he was tired and had to drive a little ways to get home, and guess what readers! The little turd, despite saying he would let me know when he got home, didn't send me a text like he said he would! And because I had to get ready for bed and all that fun stuff I was wide awake till like 2:15! so I WOUKD HAVE BEEN AWAKE! He must have not wanted to wake me! Anyways so I was awake late again! And then to top that off I WOKE UP AT 4:45 wide awake!!!!! NOT COOL!

So I was laying in bed for like a hour and it started to get light outside so I decided to open my blinds and watch the sun rise! Oh it has been forever since I have done that and I forget how nice it is! It's so pretty and peaceful! As I sit there watching it it makes you realized Heavenly Fathers love for us! It rejuvenates me! It's so peaceful! Tranquil! Beautiful. I remember going fishing growing up and we would sometimes leave before the sun came up and I remember thinking it was so blasted early. It still is but hey I was wide awake already, I remember being on I-215 east bound heading for Parleys Canyon and seeing the sun start to come over the mountains. And even appreciating the beauty then, albight being a little grouchy. Needless to say it was a great start to my Sunday!




And since it's Sunday here is a beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple with a sunrise reflecting on it.





Thank You google images for the pictures!

Tonight I feel....

I feel cute! It's a good hair day! And to me those always make or brake my day! I totally have on my woods pj shirt as a regular t shirt and i don't even care....because I feel cute! I feel like I could turn guys heads! How much make up I have on you ask? Just mascara! Yup thats right no foundation (don't use that stuff anymore now that I found face stuff that cures my acne!) no eye shadow no eye liner no blush! No nothing but my bare skin and the good ol' trusty mascara! MAN I LOVE GOOD FEELING DAYS LIKE THIS! I think every girl should feel them!

P.S. I sure wish I could feel this cute when I go out with ahem (you know who) ha ha ha don't get me wrong I do but I wish I could feel like throwing on a t shirt and totally be okay with it! I almost did when we went to ice cream till my shirt got toothpaste on it! No need to mention how it got there. Use your imagination! Let's just say it was a fresh out of the tube not the mouth! I was going to put the toothbrush in my mouth when some fresh toothpaste decided to fall off the brush and land right on me! (hate those days)

I will leave you with a picture!
