TOTS (Tired of Taylor Swift)

Did you watch the CMA's? 

Okay, Okay, I know the blog title isn't the nicest thing I've ever said, but seriously...she BEAT OUT GEORGE STRAIT for entertainer of the year?  I dont exactly think that Georgie-Poo should have won either, but Brad Paisley or Keith Urban would have been nice. 

She also beat out Miranda AND Carrie for female vocalist? Are you kidding me?  Taylor's performance last night was mediocre (and I'm being generous), while Carrie and Miranda were amazing (despite their poor wardrobe choices).  What's up with the hot pants, Carrie?

Although the Kanye/Little Jimmy Dickens satire was hilarious, I'm OVER TAYLOR SWIFT ALREADY!

What did you think about the CMA's?

3 days.

Can you believe I have posted for 3 days in a row now? I can hardly believe it myself!

My neighbor, Heather, introduced me to Tuesday's list.  I think its cute and fun and thought that I would give it a whirl.  This weeks topic was favorite fall fashion trends/accessories.  I LOVE fall so I LOVE this topic!

My 5 favorite fall trends are...

5. Stacked necklaces.

So, I realize that this is Miley Cyrus and maybe she isn't your favorite but the look is way cute!

4. Flower headbands.

Love these! I don't think I can pull of any of the over the top humongous ones, but I have a few small ones and they look so cute on!

3. Suede boots.

I have a pair that look almost exactly like this and I wear them all the time. They look cute with jeans, leggins, or dresses. These are a 2009 fall wardrobe staple.

2. Scarves.

I have only recently jumped on the scaf bandwagon, even though I saw some crazy people wearing them during the summer. They look so cute with almost anything!

1. Anything and Everything PURPLE!

           

       

I mean, eveyone's wearing it!

What fall trends do you LOVE?

Surprise, Surprise!

Guess what?  I'm actually going to post BEFORE Tuesday's list.  Can you believe it?  So, I wanted to share a video with you guys tonight.  I have been listening to alot of Christian radio lately, especially in the morning on my way to work. Its kind of like my quite time.  I Love, Love, Love The Message on Sirius/XM, and they have been playing a new song by Phil Stacey that I think is absolutely AMAZING.

Yes, this is the Phil Stacey from American Idol.  Isn't this song A-M-A-Z-I-N-G?

PS: Stellan had an emergency ablation today AND IT WORKED!  Go here and read all about it!  Praise the Lord!

Where.Have.I.Been.

Are you wondering where I've been?  No where exciting, actually.  Just haven't really been into blogging.  Today, though, I feel inspired to share with you, my readers (all 3 of you) about what I have been up to lately.  I am going to try to start participating in Tuesday's List and Friday's five so that I will actually have something to write about.

Last week was pretty non-chalant.  I worked on my twenty-something-page-only-supposed-to-be-twelve-page research report about the hand hygiene program I have been doing at the school.  I am turning it in today.  Whew!  Glad that one's over.

I have also learned this week about what it would be like to live without a nose.  I have had the worst sinus infection that I have had in a while, and fit right in with all of the snot-nosed kiddos at the school!

This weekend was a little more eventful.  Cody went hunting and I went to a baby shower for Cody's quasi-cousin Stephanie.  Stephanie and her sister Leslie are both pregnant.  Stephanie is due to deliver Charlotte Elaine on Christmas Day.

Leslie is on the left and Stephanie is on the right.

Cody went hunting over the weekend, and although he didn't get a deer he did shoot another very large animal, which he has affectionately named "Stink Nasty".

Gross!

This week is also a big week in the lives of several of the bloggers that I follow.  Kelly (of Kelly's Korner) and her husband Scott will be traveling to South America as missionaries.  Please say a prayer for them!  Kelly will be blogging about their trip as well, so be sure to stop by her blog and read all about their trip.

Stellan will be having an ablation on Tuesday.  Say a prayer for him and MckMama as this is a very stressful time in their lives, as well as in the lives of their family.

I will see you on Tuesday.  I promise.

State Fair, Kerosene, & Birthday Parties!

I bet you are wondering where we've been?  Or, maybe you haven't...ahem...anyways, we have been extremely busy and have been on the go, go, go! Oh, the places we have been...

to the State Fair of Texas to see...

Big Tex and...

...the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, herself, Miranda Lambert....

...to the big city to celebrate Mimi's birthday and....

...Kaley's birthday (her favorite present was her hunting license)...

Whew!  We have been busy! 

On another note, Cody had a phone interview with none other than Halliburton.  Please say a prayer for Cody!  He should be going in for another interview soon!

I will try to post more routinely.  While you're waiting for my next post, you can go visit Brooke and Heather, there is lots going on with the Petty and Fisk families.  Hope you had a wonderful hump day!  G'night!

Lubbock, Texas in my rearview mirror...

Where have the Krupalas been? Well, over the past weekend, we traveled to Lubbock to visity Cody's brother Korey for Tech's family weekend.  We also met his Mom and Stepdad there too!  We had such a great time, and even got to tailgate with some extended family before the game!

Cody and I at the tailgate.

Sharlotta (Cody's mom), Korey, & Cody eating fajitas.

By now, you may be wondering why there aren't any pictures from the game?  Well, when I arrived to the gate to enter the stadium, a very grumpy old man  polite, older gentleman, told me that I could not bring my camera into the game because there was an extra lense in my camera case.  So, what did we do?  Cody and I walked the 2 miles to the car and back....

When we got to our seats, there was a woman sitting 2 rows in front of us who had the biggest, most ginormous telephoto lense that I have ever seen!  Another lady sitting several people away from her had a video camera!  Needless to say, I was a little disgruntled.

Moral of the story:  Having a telephoto lense on your camera either makes you criminal or a terrorist.  Which one are you? HA!

I am going to get my flu shot tomorrow!  Get excited!

Another Post About Food!

Yes, this is another post about food.  Today was pretty uneventful except for dinner time.  I made salmon patties, corn, and an ABSOLUTELY, WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS acorn squash recipe. 

Here is how I made them so Yummy!

1. Slice the squash in half, lengthwise

2. Remove the seeds.

3.  Place on metal cookie sheet with the yellow side up.

4.  Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

5.  Place butter and brown sugar into the middle.

6.  Bake another 5 minutes at 350.

Enjoy!
