Another Whining Wednesday!

It's that time again! What's your whine this week? What has annoyed the crap outta you this week. Don't forget to add your comments so I am not alone in this whining, we don't want my husband to think I am the only chick out there that whines about the little things!

Here are my whines for the week.

1. Shopping Carts in the parking lot!- There is a nice little invention, it is a ginormous metal thing that holds the shopping carts. People are actually allowed to put the shopping cart in there when they are done! No need to leave them in my passenger door or on the hood of my car. Walk the two extra feet and put them away.

2.  Stealing food while shopping! Yes even if you finish the food while still in the store it is still considered stealing. Just because you consume it in the store does not exempt you from paying for it. It is not a sample. Pay for your popcorn chicken please! They will even scan the empty container so you don't have to leave it at the register. Pay for it!!!!

3. Pajamas in public! Don't just don't, not even at Walmart. That is all!

That's all for this week. Please please add your own. Don't just read mine and laugh add yours so I can laugh too!!

Whining Wednesday!!!!

     It’s Wednesday the middle of the week. Whoo hoo we are halfway to the weekend! However in my life I never make it through the week without some sort of crazy complaint or issue so from here on out on my blog, Wednesdays will be known as Whining Wednesdays. No I didn’t say Wine Wednesdays so put that bottle down, or not, totally up to you just make sure it is a glass of red. Ya know a glass of red a day keeps the doc away!

     So you are all wondering what is Whining Wednesday? I don’t want to read about her whining and complaining, what does she have to complain about anyway?? You are right I sure don’t have much to complain about but that is the point of Whining Wednesday. This is the place to voice (type) all those little complaints, annoyances, irritations, that are really not so important, or maybe are so important to you. You know those things you want to complain about but as soon as you say it out loud someone, either a family member or friend will give you that look or say are you effing kidding me, your life could be so much worse, there are starving children in the world and you are complaining about that?? Whoa you have those people in your life too??? I know I know we are all thankful for what we have and how blessed we are but geeze Louise sometimes crap irritates the hell outta me! Doesn’t mean I am not thankful for my wonderful husband and great kids or nice house. No siree just means I am annoyed and wanna complain then I will go right back to be a gracious thankful person!

     So Whining Wednesday is the place to do that. You know all those complaints that you think you would be judged for saying out loud, go ahead and add them to Whining Wednesday. Be it big, small, significant, insignificant, it doesn’t matter add them all! I won’t judge you, or allow anyone else too. I guarantee it. BTW I have to approve all comments so really I do guarantee it! J

Here is my list for this week. Please comment and add your own so I won’t be the only one whining!

1.       Mirrors on all the gym walls. Who in the hell designed the gym a size 0 chick? I do not want to watch my ass play catch up and run behind me as I try my hardest to power walk up the hill on the treadmill.

2.       Slow people driving in the fast lane. It’s the fast lane people!!!! That means go fast!

3.       When the gate guard lets 10 cars go through the gate after just looking at their id, but when it’s my turn, scans my id turns it over several times and then tells me okay you can go. Um do I have some sort of sticker somewhere on my vehicle that says double check me???

4.       People leaving their blinker on. Don’t they hear that little click, click, click, click, sound??

Alright those are my whines for the week. Now add your own!

Temporary Living

So many of you have asked where are we living for the next 24 days until we leave Louisiana so I figured I would take a few pics and show ya around our new "home." I probably should have taken the pics before we moved in all our crap and had stuff everywhere but of course I didn't think about that then, so please ignore all the stuff hanging out. Plus I was too lazy to move everything out of the way so you get to see exactly how we are living!!

We are in base TLF(Temporay Lodging Facility) will be staying in TLF once we get to Germany as well. Every time we move from base to base we stay in TLF. We have a bedroom, living room, dining room, and a small kitchen, when I say small, I mean small! However, it is cheap compared to a hotel off base, and we have a maid!

Okay here are the pics.

Bedroom, it's a pretty good size, it even has a large enough closet big enough to hold all my luggage, plus one of Rob's suitcases and my carry on! There is also a dresser with a flat screen TV and HDMI hookup, which is important, since we have the kinnect and PS3 can't live without those! We have a separate entrance to the bedroom door as well as an entrance to the main living area.

Part of the bathroom, tub and toilet are in a separate area. This area is what separates the bedroom from the living area, AKA the kids room.

Living room area. Couch pulls out to a full size bed. And that is R.J.'s bed for the next month. Luckily for him he is young and not old and creaky so his back can handle it! Ashleigh sleeps on a rollaway bed that hides in the corner of the bedroom during the day.

Dining area. The main entrance is right behind that column on the right side. It's nice to have a dining table and still be able to sit down and have dinner together during this hectic time.

Desk and T.V. in the living room. As you can see it is all filled up with our stuff and we have made ourselves at "home!"

Yep that's it, the whole kitchen. That is where I cook dinner and bake cookies. Had to buy the smallest itty bitty cookie sheet I could find, but I made cookies in that baby oven. It is small but sure beats having to eat fast food all the time.

Well that is a tour of Barksdale AFB TLF our "home" for the next 24 days. Hope it gives you an inside look into our daily life!

The Best Chicken Nuggets you will ever make!

So one day I was on Pinterest for a minute, or two, or 180, because really who gets on pinterest for a minute? Don't lie you know you get on there for a second and an hour or two later you are thinking "crap I'm still on here???" I came across a pin for chicken nuggets that taste like the place that advertises with cows. I decided to try it for our traditional appetizer, AKA eat nothing but junk food, Christmas Eve dinner. Oh Em Gee they were so freaking good!! So good that we couldn't bare to throw the leftovers away so we took them on our road trip and my kiddos ate them cold! Said they were even better. Now if only I would have had the stuff on hand to make the copycat Polynesian sauce! That will for sure be on the list for next time! I tried to take a picture but as you can see they were really really good and by the time I got back with the camera some were gone!

Here is the link to the recipe:

Chick Fil A Nuggets

 Now go ahead run to your nearest grocery store and buy some chicken and prepare to make your own

chicken nuggets! BTW I did not use peanut oil, I used plain old best blend oil.

Hiya!!

     Hi! I’m Nichole and this is my new blog! Thanks for stopping by I hope you stay and visit often. I intend to blog often as a way to keep all by friends and family up to date with what I have been doing since we are moving all the way to Germany in 25 Days, 9 Hours, 24 Minutes, 12 Seconds. (Not counting or anything!)  I had a hard time coming up with a title that encompassed all that I intend to blog about, but thanks to my wonderful sisters Angel and Kelly, who I am going to miss so much, I have a title that pretty much sums it all up! Yeah they get all the credit, so when I am rich and famous I owe it all to them! ;)

Me and My Sisters! <3 Them!!!

     In case you are wondering what the heck I plan to blog about, this is the place to keep up with me as I tour Europe, craft with my new Cricut, (best Christmas Present EVER!). cook, bake, and of course bling as many things as I possibly can!  A picture of my first cricut project is down below. Sprinkled throughout the blog will be the stories that you read about and wonder who the heck does that happen to?  Me, that’s who, I would be that person! So sit back relax grab a drink or two and craft, cook, bake, or just enjoy a laugh! Oh and remember there is no such thing as too much bling!
