then ... i ran down to my favorite city ever, <span style="font-size: large;">nashville, tn</span> to have a good time and to see a good friend show off his musical talent. while there we hung out on broadway ... this is the guitar right outside of legend's corner, and ate the best bbq around at <a href="http://www.hogheavenbbq.com/" target="_blank">hog heaven</a>. if you haven't been i suggest you try it. it is in this little shack next to the parthenon and centennial park. it really is so good ... every time i go to nashville i visit it atleast once.</div>

there is nothing much better than <span style="font-size: large;">chocolate gravy and biscuits</span> on a cold <span style="font-size: x-small;">... maybe not so cold,</span> rainy sunday morning. <br />
<br />
i'm pretty sure this recipe has been in my family for a long time ... i even go as far as liking to think of it being handed down from <em>generation to generation</em>. a country recipe so good it has become a comfort food for my family ... i do love me some chocolate gravy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
... and hopefully you will too! <span style="font-size: large;">all you need is</span>:<br />
<br />
<em>4 tablespoons flour (all-purpose)</em><br />
<em>2 tablespoons coco (baking)</em><br />
<em>1 cup sugar</em><br />
<em>1 teaspoon vanilla</em><br />
<em>3 cups milk</em><br />
<em>a dash of salt</em><br />
<br />
mix all of the dry and wet ingredients separately. go ahead and pour the dry ingredients into a pan on the stove top and slowly mix in the wet ingredients while stirring constantly. while continuing to stir bring the mixture to a boil. once it boils turn the heat off but continue to stir ... it will begin to thicken. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[if mixture is too thick for you liking, you can add a little water]</span> and <span style="font-size: large;"><em>enjoy</em></span>!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805594703651865348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838493169722426023.post-28610454342039895612012-12-01T10:21:00.002-08:002012-12-01T10:21:48.127-08:00so far ... <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

today was the first time we here is centeral indiana got to see <span style="font-size: large;">snow</span> this season. <em>granted ... it only snowed for a few hours this morning and it is now so very sunny and there is absolutely no snow in sight</em>. the first big snow always makes my heart melt a little. i feel like the world just stops ... <span style="color: #bf9000;">everything is so quite</span>. i really like those few moments. then once the snow turns to muck i am completely over it and ready for the 70 degree weather to come back. but until then, i am anxiously awaiting the first big snow.<br />
<br />
in other news ... <span style="font-size: large;">thanksgiving</span> is right around the corner and there has been a few exciting developments over in this corner of the world. well ... some news is more exciting than other news ... and, you may not even think any of the news is exciting ... but it is what it is. :] <br />
<br />
first things first ... my <span style="font-size: large;">dad</span> has a <span style="font-size: large;">girlfriend</span>. now, this wouldn't be a huge deal if the man hasn't been <strong>single for at least a decade</strong>. for what seems like my entire life it has been my dad, sister and i. <span style="font-size: x-small;">[yes, my mom was very much in the picture ... we just didn't live with her]</span> so adding a fourth person to the mix has been a little bit of an adjustment. but a good one. we're happy :]<br />
<br />
and secondly, i have gotten a second wind when it comes to finishing my home. when i moved in i knew it was a 'fixer upper' but my god, has it been a long tough road and for a while i was completely burnt out and had no motivation to complete any of the unfinished projects. well, my friends that is no longer the case <span style="font-size: x-small;">for now at least</span>. <strong>so expect some before and after updates</strong> :]<br />
<br />
and lastly [is that even a word?] my twenty <em>*cough**cough*</em> birthday is fast approaching and i am throwing myself a <span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;">party</span> ... can't wait!<br />
<br />
... well, that's all i've got for right now. have a good one!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805594703651865348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838493169722426023.post-13518869219552477802012-10-28T10:29:00.000-07:002012-10-28T10:29:19.150-07:00this past week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
i am still a little new to the 'three-year-old party game' ... meaning, i haven't really been able to incorporate said theme into the decorations other than making everything pink, purple and sparkle. but really ... that's as far as i've gotten on my close-to-nothing budget. however, i really like what i've come up with so far. it has definitely been fun crafting up a storm and making everything myself ... and i am a little anxious to see it all put together on the actual party day! which isn't for a few weeks still, so i still have time on my side and will hopefully be able to work in the actual theme the birthday girl has requested. maybe with the food? hmmm ... we'll see!<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
... and while we are on the subject of party planning. my birthday is fast approaching as well so i have had my party ideas running through the back of my mind as well. super exciting! </div>

one night this week the company i work for held its annual sales rally<span style="font-size: x-small;"> ... it's really not as exciting as it sounds</span>. every year each branch <span style="font-size: x-small;">[i work for a bank]</span> that is attending the rally is asked to build a basket that represents their branch. a few of my co-workers and i took it upon ourselves to take charge of the basket and decided to build it with a 'construction' theme since our branch is currently under going a full re-model. in it we included a few gift certificates from some local restaurants, some beer from a local brewery that had construction themed names and labels and a few other odds and ends that we thought would go well with a construction theme. i think it turned out pretty well, no? once the baskets were completed we had to turn them in so they <span style="font-size: x-small;">the ones in charge of putting together the rally </span><span style="font-size: small;">could set them up at the rally and have everyone bid on them.</span><br />
<br />
there were a lot of baskets and a lot of them were filled with booze ... who knew bankers liked to drink so much? well ... needless to say, i thought our basket was one of the better ones and i think the majority agreed because it looked as though ours had some of the most bids :]. but i must admit ... the majority of those bids most likely came from our own branch. we all desperately wanted to bring that basket home! but sadly, none of us won it. and i, as true to form, didn't win a darn thing. you know how some people are just naturally lucky? i, my friends, am not one of those people. but all in all it was a good evening. it was my first sales rally so i had nothing to compare it to but i am a little excited for next year's ... and already thinking up ideas for our basket! <br />
<br />
... until next time, friends, have a good time :]Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805594703651865348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838493169722426023.post-54371102599838089202012-10-08T05:29:00.000-07:002012-10-08T05:29:15.132-07:00life lately. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> lazy saturdays with both pups. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00805594703651865348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838493169722426023.post-13358537593824019132012-10-05T03:20:00.002-07:002012-10-05T03:24:36.470-07:00rememered for. ... so this had to have been the <strong>hardest</strong> of the #5things. <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">"list 5 things you most hope to be remembered for."</span> i must admit ... i've been thinking about this pretty much since starting this whole introduction thing and it is hard to put into words what you want people to remember about you. but here is what i've come up with:<br />
<br />
5. <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">my laugh</span>. i'm not saying that i have the best, or most enjoyable laugh but i would like people to remember me for always having a good time. i refuse to go through life miserable so i try to turn everything into a positive and remind myself that i can't stress over the things i can not change. <strong><em> i always have fun</em></strong>. :]<br />
<br />
4. <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">having a kind heart</span>. ever hear the quote "be kind to everyone you meet for they too are fighting their own battles"? well, i think it is true and <em>being mean to people is just ridiculous</em>. <br />
<br />
3. <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">my attempt to constantly put good energy into the world</span>. i believe in karma ... you know, put good in get good back. that is how i try to live everyday ... putting good thoughts, actions, and vibes into the atmosphere so i in return get good thoughts, actions, and vibes. <br />
<br />
2. <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">my work</span>. regardless of what i'm doing i always give it my best. <br />
<br />
and ... <br />
<br />
1. <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">the love i have for my friends and family</span>. i would do absolutely anything for them. i know that they know that and that is the number one thing i want them to remember ... <strong><em><u>that i love them all unconditionally with my whole entire heart</u></em></strong>.

<br />
this one was kinda hard ... any super power would be pretty awesome, no? buuuutttt ... if i had to choose just one i think it would be <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">flight</span>. how awesome would it be to just be able to pick up and take off ... just to fly around? and i'm going to be completely selfish with this but the first thing i would do after obtaining said super power is to see the world. i would scoot on over to paris, london, ireland, italy, china, japan, indonesia, australia, jamaica, africa, both poles. everywhere. <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">i would go absolutely everywhere</span>. and wouldn't have to worry about catching a plane, traveling fees, or any of that hassle ... now that would be cool. <br />
<br />
if you're reading this let me know what you're choice would be and what you would do first ...

since i did 20 random facts about myself i might as well give you some random tid bits of info about king as well, right? only seems fair, although i don't think i'll do 20 ... how about we start out with 10? 10 sounds good to me. so here are 10 random facts about my pup:<br />
<br />
1. he is ready to play. all the time. <br />
2. eating the couch cushions is his favorite thing to do when left alone.<br />
3. he loves wearing sweaters or hoodies ... his camo one being his favorite.<br />
4. he knows when it is bed time and insists on sleeping under the covers.<br />
5. peanut butter and apples have become a favorite treat.<br />
6. he hates squirrels and this one rabbit that lives in the yard.<br />
7. if he has to sit on the floor he must be sitting on or right next to your foot.<br />
8. he can tell when his aunt nan and pap are coming up the alley and will rush<br />
to the door to meet them.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
9. prefers to chew on his toys while laying on his back.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
10. will literally huff and puff if he doesn't get his way. </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
