Being a bit English

A couple of days ago, I got the hankering to make scones and clotted cream. Really, I was reading my friend Heather's blog, and I saw a picture of her and her mom cooking, and it reminded me of the fabulous clotted cream they make! So, not being able to subdue my cravings with yougart or ice cream, I decided to make clotted cream, and, needing something to put it on, I made scones as well.

WONDERFUL!!! I know they look gross in this picture, but they are delicious! It is all I have been eating for the last couple of days. Scones and clotted cream. Yummm . . .
Heather, I wish I could send you some, my little muse!
I have gotten skinier too!!
Hummm . . .
Perhaps Im on to something. . .
The Clotted Cream and Scone Diet.
Perhaps another name. :)

Sick and Spring time

So, it is 60+ degrees here, and where am I? On the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, watching the new season of the Tudors. Granted, this is probobly where I would be anyway, because the new season just came out Tuesday, but still, it would be lovely if I wernt sick with this damm cold thing. I can't enjoy anything when I am sick. Sleeping, eating, everything hurts when you have a sore throat, achy ear, and a runny nose. (I had to wash my pillow case twice already!!! ) If that isn't bad enough, Matt has gone back to school, so he can't nurse me back to heath like he could when he was off.
To make matters worse, it was soooo nice out today, and I got really dizzy when I walked around the block, so i condemed myself to stay inside.
If you are not sick, drink as much OJ as you can!!!

Puggles!!!

So, I have been wanting a pug forever, but Matt thinks they're ugly!!! How can anyone turn down this face1?!?!?!
Personally, I think the more ugly, the funnier they are, hence, the more I love them. I want one!!!

A Sunday Blah

Ok, so we have been living here for over 6 months now, and we have yet to find a church. It is getting really frustrating, because people will introduce themselves, welcome you to the congriagtion, and then the sermons suck, make no sense, or you are so distracted by the lone lady clapping and dancing in the isle, that you can't get much out of it anyway.
We went to a church for Christas eve mass, and thought it was ok, and we tried it out again today, and it was crap. I guess christmas brings out the best of everybody, including churches.
I pray to find a church where both me and Matt can fit in, but so far, we are a couple of triangles trying to fit into a sqare box.

Family time

Well, my mother in law and sister in law are here. It actually is turning out better than I thought it would. (at least I think so . . .)
We had our ham dinner tonight, our virsion of Christmas dinner for them. It was nice, but I didn't quite cook the ham all the way through!!!
We opened presents, and I got some pretty stuff from bath and body works, along with some chocholate and earings. . .
Work continues to be icky.
Before Christmas, it was crazy trying to get things people needed for the holidays, but now, it is just as busy because people want Christmas to go 75 percent off. . .Idiots. They keep calling, but we cant tell them. how anoyoing.

Eve and counting

We had gone back last weekend to celebrate Christmas, so tonight hardly feels like Christmas eve at all!! Matt and I still had fun though. We watched Wall-E, (not as bad as I thought,) went to church, where the people were really nice and introduced themselves, and drank eggnog. (I tried it hot . . .not so good.) We also opened one present from "santa" (a.k.a., my step-mother-in-law,) We got a blueberry disign serving plate and punch bowl. Perfect for spring!
Church was cool. It was laid out like a grandma and grandpa reading infront of the fire place, christmas trees on either side of them. They would say a sermon, and then the chior would join in and sing about the sermon. Ex. They were talking how the angels appeeared to the shepperds, and then the choir sang "Hark! The hearld angels sing." It was lovely. Then at the end, we all lit the candles, and the preacher talked about how almighty God gave himself in the most vunarable form: a baby. And that Jesus comes softly into our lives, not like, clouds parting, angels singing, ect.
It was cool except for these 10 kids, (all from the same mom!) kept yelling. Keep it down!! Enough with the holiday spirit!!!
Just kidding.


I thought that the holiday was going to be really though, but it isnt as bad as I thought. Yeah, I miss my family, my dog, and my one friend who still stays in touch with me, (thanks!) but like I said, it already felt like Christmas. Now, it just feels like a Matt and Megan holiday. . . an extra day to show eachother how much we love each other by wearing pjs all day, and eating till we get a stomach ache. :)

My favorite video!

Ok, I know I wrote about how much I love this song, but there is a good meaning in it!!! It says, "Love, it might be difficult, but it's real." So true!!!
Marriage is really hard, and I complain every day, but I love being married. Difficult, yes, but its the real thing. Its life, its what you live for.
