What do you think?
2. So I found out that Bank of America card holders (aka ME) can get into certain museums for free. Cool, eh? Apparently the Phoenix Zoo is a museum! We can get in for free on the first Saturday of the month. I think we shall go on the 1st. We've never been.
3. I got a new 1st cousin once removed! Congrats to John and Cerise.
4. I love going to the playground. Anthony is totally occupied, Jimmy just likes being outside. And i get to talk to adults! Jill is one of my favorites.
5. I made the ties! It actually was a lot faster and easier than I thought! Here are my adorable matching boys!
And here's one of me, too to show off my cute dress :)
6. Soooo Adam entered a contest on 92.3 KTAR's fan page on facebook to meet Glenn Beck. 10 people could win. Only about 30 entered and Adam was one of the winners! It was neat. So we went up there to the radio station this past Friday and got to chat with him a little bit, take pictures and get our books signed.
He even gave Adam and I hugs. Glenn is a very chill, normal guy. I was SO nervous before he came in but he acted just like he was our pal when he came in.Glenn was in town for his American Revival tour which he only did here in PHX on Saturday and in Orlando a couple weeks ago. Adam didn't have tickets because A) it's the Saturday before taxes are due and he usually has to work. and B) None of the cheap tickets were left when we thought to get any.
But when we met Glenn on Friday, he asked who didn't have tickets and hooked those up who didn't have! And they were AWESOME seats. 7th row on the floor...the ones priced at $120.
Adam had a blast. Glenn is pretty much his hero.
7. So I'm pretty much addicted to Strawberry salad. It's the one with almonds and poppy seed dressing. Holy cow. Give me more!
Poppy Seed Dressing:
2-3 Lemons
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c white wine vinegar
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 Tbsp poppy seeds
Zest lemon to measure 1 tbsp zest. Juice to measure 1/2 c juice. Combine all dressing ingredients. **Or just buy a bottle of poppy seed dressing. :)
Salad:
1/2 c sliced natural almonds, toasted
16 oz strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 med. cucumber, sliced and cut in half
1 sm. red onion, slice into thin wedges
1 pkg baby spinach
~Preheat oven to 350. Spread almonds in single layer over Small Bar Pan. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove and let cool in pan.
~Hull strawberries and cut into quarters.
~Score cucumber length wise. slice cucumber and then cut slices in half.
~Slice onion
~Combine all salad ingredients with dressing.
I just bought a bottle of poppy seed dressing and I just did the strawberries with Romaine instead of Spinach because I'm cheap and it's still SOOO good.
8. I know this is totally vain but maybe some of you understand. I haven't had to wear foundation/concealer for 2 days in a row! It only happens once in a blue moon but when it does, it makes me very, very happy. I'm sick of having a teenager face and I hope it goes away before I get wrinkles. :)
9. For those of you who don't know, Adam's family is not really close to their extended family. Within the last 5 years or so we've gotten in contact with a bunch of them but that is another story for another day.
ANYWHO, Adam's great uncle sent these pictures to Adam's dad the other day. This is Adam's dad's dad's dad, Andre Castaldi who came to the USA from Italy when he was a baby.
