1. A few of you asked for the spicy corn dip recipe. It's so easy and heeeeere it is: RECIPE. :) Just please...remember to wear gloves unless you want to join the jalapeno hand club. :)
2. My roommate just told me she has pink eye. And has had it for three days. She's on meds...now. But, that might have been good info to have a few days ago...haha.. Sooo.. cross your fingers that I don't get the elementary school illness of freaking pink eye.
3. Eric's new neighbors moved in a week or two ago during the night and are nice...enough. But apparently had goats at their house.. and when asked about it by another neighbor, they said they were going to kill them. And they did. In the backyard. To eat. Eric said he thought a child had been crying or something. I'm so disgusted and disturbed and I'll refrain from a tangent about this... for now. Gracie is never going to Eric's house. That's all I'm sayin. (and yes, Eric lives in a nice little neighborhood...not on a farm. Crazy!)
4. I have a girls weekend NEXT WEEKEND and am SO excited I can barely stand it! :) A group of us have rented a house on the lake and are gearing up for some laughter, wine, outlet shopping, and overall awesomeness. Then....Eric and I are headed to COLORADO for a concert! I've never been to Colorado in the summer...or in YEARS for that matter! I'm so excited, I google photos of Colorado when I need a break from work...haha.. :) We're still thinking about planning a longer vacay for the fall, so who knows...but right now I'm excited for some long weekend fantabulousness with good peeps! This is coming from someone who hasn't taken a formal (non holiday) day off since long before I switched jobs! (left old job on a Tuesday, started new one on that Wednesday).
5. I've been sticking with this working out and eating well thing. I mean.. I don't eat tofu for ever meal or anything...by any means... but I've been snacking healthier and hitting the gym even when I'm unmotivated. Jax=proud of herself. :) (no idea why I just said that in third person. Sorry).
6. I went to get my birth control today and was informed it now has a generic. That's good...right? Sure. EXCEPT I now I have virtually no choice but to take the generic b/c the nongeneric shot up to 80 bucks under my insurance since a generic is now available. Arg. I've read mixed reviews online about it being 100% fine...all the way to it causing chest and stomach pains. Arg. We shall see, huh... That was all TMI, but it is what it is.
7. Ohmygosh, so do you have a carbon monoxide detector? If your answer is no, this story is about to scare you a little. Eric has one (it's combined with his fire alarm). It started going off on Sunday out of nowhere. Not having ever heard it before, he walked to it and saw that it read "Move to clean air." AGH! Two firetrucks later, it was determined he had enough carbon monoxide in there to likely cause him to not wake up if he'd gone to sleep that night. HOLY WHAT?! Apparently, his hot water heater needed to be replaced... Anyway, whoa. This is my PSA for carbon monoxide detectors.
Yeah, there was no rhyme or reason to any of that so thanks for reading the random thoughts in my little brain this evening. Happy middle of the week, peeps!

I was on the generic of my Birth Control (pre-Ethan obviously) and it worked great. I did have a friend that said she went on the generic and it made her act pretty crazed at all times. So good luck. :)
proud of your third person comment. i mean, couldda been a great teacher in your past who drilled that into your brain? j/k, i know you had a top of the line education at TU, probably not so much at EC. and by the way that makes me want to go buy a Carbon Monoxide Detector. NOW.
pink eye, haha! totally hilarious but im sure she doesnt think so! Im not on birth control pills, they give me migraines! :( x
I'm sorry...WHAT the EFFF about the goats?!?!?! OMG!! We are not on the set of LOST, we don't need to kill animals to eat. That is disgusting and scary.
Umm, goats?! That's disgusting! And, is that even allowed?? If he lives within the city limits, I'd be tempted to call on that one. That corn dip looks fabulous- might have to try that for our next get together (with the gloves on of course!). And, glad I made Stephen get a carbon monoxide detector last year, that's scary...I need to go check the batteries now!
Whoa at the goats. Just... no. And pinkeye is one of my fears-- I've never had it but for some reason it freaks me out! The girls weekend sounds awesome and so does Colorado. It's one of my favorite places!
Ok, the goat story has me a little shaken...ohhh my. Poor things!
Have fun on your girls weekend!!
Wow, that is crazy about the carbon monoxide! I'll have to look into something like that - it's scary!
Good for you for heating healthy and working out! I need to get back on that train :)
Scray about the Carbon Monoxide!
That's really scary about the carbon monoxide. I think I'll look into getting a detector...especially since the water heater is near the bedroom.
omg killing goats in their backyard. that is insane! be wary of those people.
and thank goodness for the carbon monoxide detector. that is really scary.
thanks for the recipe!
Ok, that thing about the goats...CRAZY! What in the world?? Um, yeah definitely don't let Gracie out over there...holy yikes!!
And I'm so high fiving you right now for working out/eating well! Keep it up, girlie poo!
That goat story is just so sad and disgusting at the same time! The police need to be called on those people!
Crossing my fingers you don't get pink eye! :)
I have the generic B/C for my prescription and have had no problems. Hopefully yours will be fine too.
Scary about the CM! Glad Eric had a detector and made it out okay.
And keep up the good work eating well and exercrising!
Sorry for the long comment! :)
I'd be really creeped out by the goat thing. In fact I am and they aren't even my neighbors. Crazy werid.
Thank goodness for carbon monoxode detectors! I'm going to have to check and see if we have any!
#1: I hope you don't get pink eye! But if you do, please post pictures so we can all (laugh) feel sorry for you :-)
#2: Goat story= crazy= where the hell are those people from?
#3: Very jealous of your girls weekend!!!
#4: I'm glad your man is ok, and I'm going to buy a carbon monoxide detector this weekend!
Hope your wed is fabulous!
My bc was switched to the generic, too! I don't know which one you're on, but I take Yaz and the generic REALLY hurt my stomach. When I talked to my pharmacist she said the generic wasn't exactly the same, so it's always good to ask the pharmacist. :) I know most generics are exactly like the brand name, but in some cases they are slightly different!
oh my gosh Im glad Eric is okay! Thats so freaky!!!
They actually killed goats in their backyard??? Ahhh!
A girls weekend! How exciting!
Ok I read the paragraph about the goats and then I couldn't concentrate on anything else. WTF???????
So scary about the CM!!
Um, seriously about those goats!! I would have died.
