Slow Cooker Thursday

So while I was surfing Wordless Wednesday websites, I found a bunch of other memes that I’d like to participate in .. one of which is Slow Cooker Thursday. I would love to throw a bunch of things in a pot in the afternoon and have a good hot meal for dinner .. but the recipes I’ve read always sounds so .. hmm .. 1950′s fatty? They sound like they need alot of butter and will really weigh you down. So I’d like to know .. does anybody anybody out there have some lighter tasting crock pot meals?? Angelle, I have a feeling you’ll know of some :) Post comments or links!!

OH and if you want to check it out:

Memes

I remember way back in the junglephotography.com days I used to have fun doing daily Memes when I had nothing to write. Mike’s lists of the day reminded me of them. Anyways I decided to introduce them to you new bloggers :) For those of you who dont know .. Memes are like theme writing, giving you a prompt, questions, a list to write .. something to get you to post that day. Some of the ones I used to participate in were The Friday Five, Wednesday What-Ifs, and This or That Tuesday .. it just so happens that all 3 of those are no longer operated :( Boo! So off I go to search Google for some new worthwhile Meme sites, and maybe a Meme to do today.

[10 min of searching]

Here are a couple sites with lots and lots of topics to write about, all broken up by days or occasions :)

  • The Daily Meme – Lots of links and descriptions here! Shows memes that are themed on today’s day.
  • The Memes List -This guy was around back in when I used to blog, hooray not everything is gone! Anyways, looks like he’s kept up with his list (and was featured in the NY Times) great place to check out.

Now an example of what the heck I’ve been talking about .. if you visit either of those 2 sites, you’ll find that there are a bunch of Tuesday themed sites with questions or discussion topics on them. Here are some links for today:

Unfortunately I’m not really fond of any of these :( I miss This or That Tuesday .. so here is one that I did  back on 4/29/03.

This or That Tuesday – Take Comfort…
Which is more comforting for you…

1. Lying down on the couch, or stretching out on a recliner? Lying down on the couch, don’t have a recliner.
2. Going barefoot or wearing soft slippers? Barefoot, slippers make my feet hot.
3. Eating ice cream, or pizza? Ice cream, def.
4. Watching on TV…a classic movie or a reality show? Classic movie .. avoid commercials
5. Wearing: blue jeans or sweat pants? Jeans
6. A long, soothing bubble bath or a quick, invigorating shower? Candle lit bubble baths .. Mmmmm.
7. Furniture: leather, or something more on the fuzzy side? Leather
8. Soft, classical music, or upbeat rock & roll? Uh, rock and roll, if those are my only two choices.
9. Darkness or light? Tough one, can I pick something in between, like twlight? Light, darkness, twlight, they are all comforting to me.
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You get married, or otherwise begin cohabitating with a significant other. S/he moves into your place, but brings with them the UGLIEST chair you have ever seen! You really don’t want this thing in your home, but SO says it is the most comfy chair s/he has ever sat in, and no way will they part with it. Do you: grin and bear it, or scheme to get rid of the montrosity somehow? I’ve never had a problem with any ugly funiture, I’ll adopt any piece anybody wants to give me, so most likely I’m the one that’ll be bringing the crappy stuff to the marriage. Although I’m also not attached to any of my furniture, so getting me to get rid of it would be easy.

Heh .. I’m pretty sure I’d have the same answers today :)

Okay in the new tradition of blogging .. if you read this .. you’re tagged .. now copy and paste these questions and answer them yourself .. and post me a comment so that I can come check out your answers!

My favorite time of the day

9:45 pm .. As some of you know, when we had all 4 puppies I had to put them on a schedule if we had any chance of making the situation work. From the original schedule they still have a morning nap and bedtime is at 10pm. But sometime between 9:45 and 10pm all 3 puppies usually make their way onto my lap while I sit on the couch, and they all cuddle up and start to fall asleep. I’m sure all you parents out there know that feeling when your little one curls up on your chest and falls asleep .. that’s exactly what this is like to me. Its so nice and warm, and they’re so sweet and quiet .. I totally forget that not even 20 min ago they were driving me nuts barking and fighting with each other :)

Okay since I can’t do the Marriage Tag .. I’m tagging everybody who reads this! Blog or comment about your favorite time of the day, and why :)
