Friday Friday Friday

Oh hello Friday!

I've missed you! It felt like you were gone much longer than 6 days, please don't do that again. 

You like my title?  Really original right?

I've been awfully excited this week about all the TV premiers... unhealthily excited... I almost was an hour late to work today because I wanted to sit on the couch and finish the second hour of Grey's... but I was right on time because I smacked myself and got in the shower instead.

Litterally, hit myself in the face to wake up.

I did not sleep well last night. But when I went to hit snooze on my phone/alarm Husband rolled over in his sleep and stole my pillow right out from underneath my head! 

I took it as a sign

went to cycle class

and felt great... until husband left and I had an hour to kill before I needed to get ready.

Enter Grey's. Followed promptly by no motivation to get off my couch.

No one tell me how it ends!  I'll probably get to watch it Monday after Husband leaves :-P

But I digress.

It's Friday, I've nothing profound to tell you.

I did do the Grey's Anatomy Name Generator

I'm McTasty

What are you?

Pizza Dip

 So the last of the recipes from our fun party two Saturdays ago was this amazing Pizza dip!

Pizza Dip

A layered, hot cheesy dip with all of the great pizza flavours including pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, olives and green peppers.

Servings: 8

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup mozzarella, grated
• 1/4 cup parmigiana reggiano (Parmesan), grated
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup mozzarella, grated
• 1/4 cup parmigiana reggiano (Parmesan), grated
• 2 ounces pepperoni, sliced
• 2 tablespoons green pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons black olives, sliced

I doubled the recipe, 86'd the olives and green pepper (I don't like olives, and Kroger was out of green peppers), and added some 'shrooms.  Oh, and of course I used the less fat version where I could. 

Stuff you might need

Directions

1. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream mayonnaise, mozzarella and parmigiana reggiano and spread it across the bottom of a pie plate. (if you double this you will need a casserole dish)
2. Spread the pizza sauce on top and sprinkle on the cheese, and toppings

Pre-Oven

3.  Bake in a preheated 350F oven until the cheese has melted, bubbling and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
 4. Find something to transfer this from the plate to your mouth.  I suggest slicing some french loaves into small pieces.  Toast them with some garlic and butter if you'd like.
5.  Enjoy!

Again, I got excited about people and stopped taking pictures...

Sorry.

But it was delicious!  I felt a bit vain at times because I couldn't stop talking about how good my own dip was, but I was just so impressed. 

So there you have it.

Pizza dip that will make you feel vain. 

Love,

Random Thoughts on a Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!

What are your big plans for the weekend?  We're cleaning tonight...I know, so fun.

Tomorrow is long run day for the Hubs, and my first "Long Run"  I'm supposed to go three miles.  I think I'll go 4.5 instead so I can run from our condo to Chastain Park and back.  Only a few more weeks of running distances I'm used to and then it's gonna get interesting!

After that I'll meet Hubs and give him some refreshments, start baking, meet hubs again, and then take the dogs to the vet...

THEN, when I get back, I'll finish baking and getting ready for our Friends to arrive!  We're showing off our kitchen watching the USC/UGA game at our condo with a bunch of friends Saturday.  I'm really excited to have everyone over!  USC will obviously win though! Go Cocks!

Sunday I'm hoping will be a pool day... and craft day :-).

So since that is my plans for the weekend, and while they are very exciting it's also all I have to share with you, I thought I would send some random thoughts out in the world to see if anyone else thinks these things too... an "Am I Normal" of sorts.

• There are certain grown adults who sound like they're wearing a diaper when they walk....
• How do dogs collect so many eye buggers in a day?
• Pollen sucks
• Is it the instructor or the music that makes cycle class so awesome?
• This week is National Waffle Week... I might make waffles for lunch tomorrow just to celebrate!



Does she look like she knows it's "her week"

• I'm really enjoying this weather, but am I the only one that's sad summer is ending?  I think the kitchen distracted me from the August heat.  

That's it!

I'm making this and this for Saturday... wish me luck! 

Love,

Susie Q

So Whatless Wednesday

That's right folks!  You read correctly, I'm in too good of a mood to So what about anything

So What if I have no "So What's" today!

There are many reasons why I am happy today, but I can't really share them all with you (No mom(s), I am NOT pregnant)

I do have a super awesome Husband who is working very diligently to get our kitchen finished... including the sink that seems to have been "ghetto rigged" for 30-40 years... ah, the joys of living in a 50 year old condo!

It will look like this when it is done though... only smaller

and there won't be glass on our cabinets... and we don't have an island... but you know, close.

I have two very happy, healthy dogs who want nothing more than to be loved on by us.

I have two awesome jobs!

I have a car that runs ... well, it jogs.

I have weddings to plan and people to love...

Today is one of those days where my brain is going about a mile a minute and I can't quite come up with anything I want to tell you about *in-depth* so... That's all for today! 

In other news:

I saw this and thought of the hubs:

Did you notice the smile in the A?  #flippinawesome

Bits O Truth

Every once in a while I go to this site and am struck by how many different quotes I can relate to.  Some inspire me, some remind me of how much I've grown, and some make me laugh... 

So today I thought I would share some of my favorites.  

Enjoy :-)

 Such wise words for a sponge...

Happy Friday Folks!  What are your favorite quotes?

did you notice that rhythm?  NAILED IT!

Happy Friday!

I don't have much to blog about today... So I'll leave you with some fun Pintrest from my boards! 

 This, or actual drawers is my biggest dream in our next kitchen!

So Cute!

#mouthwateringjustthinkingaboutit

I'm pretty sure I'll bake these ASAP

LOVE THIS!

Can we say child's bathroom one day?

Can't wait for clementines to come in season so I can try this! 

Because otherwise you're bored:

What are you pinning?  Need an invite?  Just ask :-)

Pintrest

So I've just joined this site called Pintrest.  From what I can tell you pin pictures all over the internet of things you like and it becomes your inspiration board for DIY projects, redecorating, and really any other category you want to "Pin"... am I right, I'm just figuring it out, but it seems like something I could totally get sucked into neat.

SO I've been pinning all these do it yourself projects, only problem is I've got no where to put them, or even work on them, or time to work on them for that matter... so I've got oodles of inspiration and no where to go with it... does anyone need a DIY done?  I'm not working any weddings for the next two weekends... I can DIY you something, or sit at the pool and drink wine coolers....

Someone save my arse from the sugar that will turn straight into fat... Tell me you need a new something! 

Here's some of my pins so far:

One Day, when we have a house, I would like a chandelier in the laundry room... The way I see it, I'll be spending enough time in there to warrant something pretty.

I could totally DIY this mirror! 

That's right, Monkey Bread in individual mason jars... what could be better?????

L.O.V.E. this rug... now if I just had the dollars.

This is inspiration, but a more modern style for one wall in our dinning room

One day, when we have an outdoor space all our own, I would like to make one of these :-)

Thanks loves!

In other news, Husband has an interview for a promotion today, he's going to nail it.  I know it, because I'm his wife and I said so.  :-)

Happy Friday loves!
