It's official!


I can officially post that I am moving to Houston. Not that most of you didn't already know. I FINALLY got a hold of my supervisor. She was very nice about it and even offered my a job if I ever return.

The time I have left here in Tulsa is limited. I am planning on moving the 1st week of August. I have a lot of things to take care of before then. I am currently in my "clean house" phase, where I am trying to get rid of all the things I don't need. One thing about living in an apartment is it shows you what you can and can't live without. I am selling all of my furniture, decor, etc...I want a fresh start. Since I have decided to live with my mom and her husband for a few months to save some $$ (what am I thinking?), I decided when I finally find a place to live, I can start new. There is an IKEA and Crate and Barrel in Houston!

After my Target/biscuit incident, my life has been pretty boring. Today I have been hanging with Bella. She keeps having doggie nightmares. The picture I posted is of her today with all of her toys. I've read that dogs often hoard their toys and sleep with them when they are feeling maternal. Even though Bella has been spayed, I know she still has that mommy instinct in her.

I started reading a new book today. It is TWILIGHT by Stefanie Meyers. They are a series of pre-teen romance novels about a young woman who is in love with a vampire. I know it sounds cheesey, but they are written very well. Apparently, they are the next "Harry Potter-ish" books.

One more thing. I have a new recipe! I had this great "green sauce" at the Farmer's Market a few weeks ago. My cheap self decided that it would be easier to try to copy her recipe than continue to buy it (it is $7.00/jar). I altered the recipe to make it lighter as well, because once you start eating it, you won't be able to start.

Here it is:
Green Sauce (good with blue corn tortilla chips, carrots, on chicken or fish)
Also, I'm pretty bad a measuring things, so here is a base for the recipe. You can tweak it to your liking.

2 to 1 ratio of low fat mayo to low fat sour cream (I wouldn't use fat free), so let's say 2 cups mayo, 1 cup sour cream
1 bunch of cilantro
5 green onions
extra virgin olive oil-2 count
1 jalepeno, seeded unless you want your mouth on fire

Put everything into a blender and let it rip! I would taste it and add things as you wish. I like it with extra, extra cilantro! Let it sit in the fridge for at least 3o minutes.

Congrats on the move to Houston, or as some people call it, "The city where Kyle was born."

I hope you enjoy the move and the new page you're turning!

If you see my cousin or her family who live there, tell them I said, Hi!
