DELL-icious


guys! great news! eric got a new job! he had an interview at Dell on wednesday morning and they called him on thursday morning to offer him the position! we are so excited...it is like were finaly grown-ups...no more stupid jobs...the best part about it is that god gave us so much more than what we were hoping for or needed...weve been broke for so long, i cant imagine not having to eat at taco bell and ordering according to how much change is in the seat cracks. (of the car, not our asses) maybe i will stuff spare change in there just for old times sake...(the car, not our asses)
the other best part about this job is that there are great medical benefits- so in other words i can go to the doctor and figure out why we cant get preggers. we havent had medical insurance for a while now and so have just had to sit and wonder whats wrong and what gods doing. the insurance is effective the days he starts (january 8th) so i will be in that doctors office on that very day! halleliua! seriously, this is such an answer to prayers, it makes me cry.

thank you jesus...

i have never cared about jude law. isnt really my type. hes a butt hole for cheating on his hot wife...so i dont have much respect for him....but i saw his new movie "the holiday" this weekend with a few friends....now, i not only like him, but i love him in a very sexual way. (ew thats gross, but i think you get the picture) i suggest all you girls out there see this movie and be prepared to want to make out with judas, i mean jude.
p.s. the movie is cute too. i give it 3 thumbs up, aside from cameron diaz' major over acting.

food, folks and fun...

wow, it has been almost a full month sice i posted last...wierd. i shant go into the details as to why i havent, but just know that i have been keeping up on everyone elses...just not commenting much...wierd.
it has been a lifelong dream of mine to have dinner parties. im not talking about having a bunch of friends over for pizza or whatever, im talkin dinner party. so i had my first one! on saturday night i invited a few of my nearest and dearest overand we wined and dined. let me spell it out for you, play by play.
they arrived promptly at 7:30. the house was warm and bright with the lights of the christmas tree and garlands. there i stood in the kitchen finishing up the final preparations for a fabulous meal that was soon to be devoured. the ladies visited and chatted as we fininshed setting the table....softly laden with a cream tablecloth. in the center there was a large centerpiece made of christmas greens, candles and red orbs. (yes, orbs, otherwise known as balls, christmas balls) we gathered in the dinning room and sat to begin the feast. on our plates we beheld toasted 3 cheese ravioli with a roasted red pepper and tomatoe dipping sauce, tomatoe canapes which consist of a tiny tart like shell filled with tomatoes, onions and olives- topped with cheeses and bacon pieces. then there was a spinach salad with toasted almonds that had been sauted in brown sugar until they were crispy and candied along with mandarin slices and a vinigarette. for desert we had chocolate molten cake topped with freshly made whipped cream and rasberry sauce drizzeled on top.
it was a night of food folks and fun. (what commercial is that from??)
now i want to have a dinner party every weekend. and i just might do it. what happened to the good old days of dressing up and being formal every once in a while? it was a fun little change and might i suggest you give it a try? yes, i might.
