The results of my garlic chicken puffs.....

We didn't like them. The cream cheese just didn't taste right. We decided if we did it over again we would switch the cream cheese with real cheese, and the green onions with green peppers. Also, add less garlic powder. The part we did like about them, they looked pretty good. 

So i cut my hair. Here are some pictures. I think its alright. I miss my long hair though. 

Also. on the radio I heard a Selena Gomez song. Which all her other songs i haven't really liked but this one i very much enjoy. I've played it over and over too many times this past week. This music video is pretty lame. So don't pay too much attention to it. 

Some times i get a good feeling.

I finally wrote my missionary friend barbara a letter. Now to mail it off... 

Chad is going to get modern warfare 3 tomorrow morning. We will see if i can wake up to go with him. 

We went out to eat Chinese today. There is this new Chinese restaurant that we really like. Much better then the others here. 

I am going to be making these tomorrow! They are garlic chicken puffs. There is shredded chicken, cream cheese, garlic, and im going to put chopped green onions in mine (not chads). 

Also. I thought i'd share a recipe of my own, well actually my mother taught me it. But i made it earlier this week and then chad asked me to make it again the other night. Its really simple, you don't really need a recipe to figure it out. Its like a large Reese's Cup. 

 Step 1: Crumble one package of graham crackers.

Step 2: Mix about 4 large spoon fulls (or more) of peanut butter, 2 tbs of butter or margarine, and about 2 large spoon fulls of powdered sugar.





Step 3: Melt chocolate chips, I used about 1/2 cup, and spread over mixture. And then you can eat it.
 

Why don't you just make one up

So i have a new sewing machine i've decided on.

I did not make the book club last month. So three books to read this month. I'm reading one by Deanna Raybourne right now, but its not the Julia Grey series, its called the Dead Travel Fast. Then my second book will be one from the Julia Grey series. And the third, im not too sure about yet.

Cut chad's hair so he could take a test. Its short now. sadly.

 Cut my own hair. So its short now too. I feel like a little kid with shorter hair but it was good i cut it because it was really bad from all my dying it back to brown again. I'll take a picture of it.. eventually.

I've become a bad blogger. We don't do much any more. haha

Kim told me about a friend of hers that wants to get family pictures taken. Kim told her she'd ask me. And i don't know. Like it would be fun, but its overwhelming. Its intimidating to me because my pictures aren't that great and im not good with people.. and what if they are accepting something better then what you take? So i think i might say no.

Michael Briscoe of the band Watch the Clock and Cliche, and our friend, is going on a mission to Italy soon and i wanted to make sure i had some of my favorite songs from band Watch the Clock before he left. Here is the link to download his album. http://www.mediafire.com/?09xej75lvsm5eln.

i can take a part a remote control and i can almost put it back together.

I didn't make my reading last month... now for 3 books this month.

Im very excited its November.There is this flea market on the 19th im very excited to go to here in Rexburg. [http://www.whiteplacefleamarket.blogspot.com/] They have a lot of really cute things. What im hoping to find is a nice white picture frame. I have this plan, perhaps if i ever make it i'll post something about it.

Its been funny and nice these past couple weeks when i come home from work and the dishes are done, trash taken out, and the floors are vacuumed. I have the best husband. 

Second block started so i have yet another class to work on. but.. only 6 more weeks of school. 

I've been waiting for the light to flip a switch

I've been watching a lot of One Tree Hill these days. It was added to Netflix and I stopped watching it during the 6th season a long long time ago. Its been good. Chads been here by my side watching it the whole time too. He's the best tv watching partner.

We went to a Halloween party last night. Lots of candy, some charades, and battle of the sexes.

I might not make the book club this month. On my second book and its horrible. So boring. We will see if I can get through it tomorrow. Its called The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell. Maybe it'll get better? I have to admit, i judge books by their cover.(This one looks good right?) And next time maybe i shouldn't rely on the cover as much.

Once when i was living

Today chad p and i made this recipe together. We don't have a bunt pan so we made it in a little bread pan. It worked out very nicely. It was difficult figuring out the timing in the oven.

Its very simple, for the full instructions you can go here, or you can just see its very easy by the picture below. Little bit of dough, piece of pepperoni, and a little square of cheese, then roll it up. 

Here is the next thing I want to try. [http://skinnychef.com/recipes/baked-apples] Pretty excited about it. 

Thats ok i'll just watch netflix in HD

Little improvements to our home.

Finally got a framed mirror to go above my little candles!

[I asked chad to hide the fire extinguisher with his head. It almost worked]

These are our new paintings from DI. The top ones in our kitchen the other one is in the living room. I like to top one best 

And here is chad trying to finish his reading for the month. He feel asleep like a minute later. 

Its empty in the valley of your heart

Our Alaska money came in today!

Found a new blog I love. http://seekatesew.blogspot.com/p/tutorials_30.html. I like her site because she has tons of tutorials. Some look a little too advanced for me. She skips over things sometimes that i don't know how to do. haha.

One of the things i really want to make is one of these cute lace headbands.

[http://seekatesew.blogspot.com/2011/10/lace-headband-tutorial.html]

Also I finally gave into pintrest.com. I wasn't going to at first because I found it too overwhelming and intimidating. But last night i was on it and there were so many things i liked i just started pinning and that was it.

Here is my pintrest account http://pinterest.com/allieparr/

My favorite thing too look for so far is mason jar things and home things. I found some very cool mason jar ideas though.

allie you need to go.

We went on a little trip to the Teton Dam today. We were there for about an hour just walking around. It was quite cool.

{On the drive there}

 {There were lots of potato trucks in the area}

 

{Went exploring down some really ghetto stairs!}

I come bearing gifts

i like fudge. i like fudge, you ask me what i'll say, i'll say i like fudge...

We drove home and saw a bunch of kittens tonight. We quickly tried to go see them but they ran away. We had bought some cat food for cheeto but she seems to have lost interest in us so we tried to lure these new kittens out with the food. Chad sat in the dark waiting for them. It was quite creepy. They never came.

Work has been a little annoying. My schedule isn't a sure thing so when i think its only going to be an hour and a half of work it ends up being like 2 and a half. I'd be fine working that much, it would just be nice to know beforehand.

Im tired of school already.

I don't know if i'll make the book club this month. Im far behind. Im not even done with my first book yet. Oh goodness.

I eat perogies today. delisish.

So chad and I are thinking about dressing up for Halloween as a monk and a nun.

Our room is pretty dark and night and we've been wanting to find a night light. All the ones we find aren't right. While i was looking on modcloth i found this one and i think they are adorable. There are a bunch of different colors.

I haven't seen you for awhile.

Another day. 

We had lunch at wingers, there was the buy one get one free deal today.

Went to Jared's surprise birthday party. Played some catchphrase. 

Worked. Today was even easier then the last. 

I have to get going on my christmas list. Chad is being pushy with the due date. 

I haven't written barbara yet. Im a bad friend. 

...an Etsy Favorite. So I've liked these for awhile on etsy, but i just keep seeing more and more, and i think they are the best. They are bracelets made from spoons. I think they are clever and beautiful.
