Coming soon…..

ETA: Instead Let’s call it Pflugerville Pfavorites!

Pfirst Pfriday Pflugerville!! (so yes that means in just a couple days my first post will be published!!)

This is going to be a new series of posts I will write just for grins and giggles.  No one will be paying me to do these (unless other places catch on and decide to).

I’ll call it the PPP for short. I’ll do it the pfirst pfriday of every month.

If you are not from here just get over the annoying Ps …. it’s a Pflugerville thing.

When you live in a small suburb, you find small businesses and awesome people that run them; I want to tell you about those places.

Great coffe dot com is great

We have a kreuig coffee pot. We love it. There is no way on Earth we could live without it. Ever. In fact we just took it with us on vacation. Really. No joke.

So www.greatcoffee.com is where we order our never ending supply. We have a favorite blend that we order more than all others.

Just last week Charlie handed me a cup and I immediately asked what the heck it was. He looked at me like I was crazy. It was my usual, of course. Um.. No it was not. Was it?!

It was. I didn’t know it but he just opened a new box. We had 6. All of them from the same lot number. He opened another anyways and made another cup. Also gross.

Oh, boy! So what do we do with $xx coffee that taste bad? Well Charlie emailed them and said we what happened, gave them lot number on the box and asked to replace the unopened 4. We didn’t hear back.

We were leaving for vacation on Friday (less than 4 days? After the email) and there was a box. It had 4 boxes of the same coffee from a new lot. We made one. It was perfect.

How often do you get no questions asked service like that?? They have a customer for life in us.

( this was a totally voluntary review… No free coffee; I don’t even know if they have a social media presence!)

It’s been 5 years.

I wanted to wait until this evening to write this post because I didn’t know what I wanted to say. I still don’t.

It’s been 5 years TODAY since I got the call around 8 am that my dad had died earlier that morning. I saw their number on caller ID and my heart immediatly sank. Charlie had just left for work.

We had been expecting it but I was instantly devastated before I said hello. I was expecting a photographer to be on the way and thought maybe he was looking for directions because he was lost and got instead I got some of the worst news ever.

Wil was only 5 months old. He’ll only know him in pictures (I made a 20 minute video collage that I thought I was going to watch today but didn’t … Lucas has yet to see it because I hate (but LOVE) to watch it.)  Lucas, of course, never met him.

It’s brutal to lose a parent; whether you expect it or not.

Groove it or lose it

Hello readers :) .

I am going to do everything in my power to get back into a groove. I will start by making a point in doing Monday Mingle, because I dearly love being in front of the camera and Vlogging is so much fun! (if you have any other Vlogging blog activities let me know!)

I also plan to share more of my scrapping. What’s the point in doing it if my readers don’t see it!?

Next up I plan to do a TASTE TEST THURSDAY and maybe a Favorites Friday. It’s all a little “over done” but the point in blogging is to do it, however I make myself do it. Right?

Okay. Well today is Thursday…. So…. Taste TEst Thursday begins. I am ALWAYS trying to make new things and want to tell others about how amazing it is so I need to blog it. Right?

I have TWO recipes. First up, we have my favorite. I have tried AT LEAST a dozen meatloaf recipes over the years and they have all been just another boring meatloaf. I didn’t even tell my husband I was making this one because he begged me to stop SEVERAL years ago. Seriously. He did.

Mini Meatloaf Muffins

You HAVE To try them — they are AMAZIng.

Second recipe I tried this week was a Honey Lime Chicken Enchilada. This was not a favorite (yet) but it was so different we decided we had to keep it in the recipe box. MY ONLY complaint (and hubby, too) was that it was too sweet. That’s it. I just need to make some TWEEKS and I think we will have a household favorite. SO if you are MArtha in the kitchen and have ideas on making this taste the same but not as sweet please let me know!

The other half of Taste TEst Thursday is to link me to YOUR favorite recipe. BLog it and just leave it in the comments!

(just click on the recipe name and it will take you where you want to go!)

Mia Kitty Update

The good news is she is doing much better. The bad news is we really don’t know what it was, exactly. Something inner ear. Our Vet took her OFF one antibiotics and but her on two different ones but it seems to be doing the trick!

That’s all!

Sick Mia Kitty

We aren’t sure what is going on with our kitty, but she’s 10 years old and has been shedding a crazy amount the last 2 weeks or so. I’ve kind of ignored it. Yesterday, she came in from being outside and I was vacuuming (hair!!) and she kinda rubbed up against the vacuum once or twice and fell over. I thought it was just the noise/vibration that startled her. She moved on and I finished up. I looked over at her and ever few steps she’d stumble. It was like she was drunk. Charlie started watching too. He picked her up and tried to get her to drink some water but she couldnt stand up long enough to do it. We called the Emergency vet and they said to bring her in. I was holding her and also noticed she felt lighter (found out today she’s lost 0.6 lbs, which is a lot for a kitty, I think). Anyways, the Vet  looked her over and we ran some bloodwork but nothing came back abnormal. They suspect it might be neurological  :( . There is a small chance it could be toxoplasma so we are giving her antibiotics for that. They also put a hydration pack under her skin. ALmost $500 and no real answers. We just wait and see and give her lots of love …. Hubby did some research and found that some older cats tend to do this and it’s over in a few days but the weight?!!! Oh and we were worried she wasn’t urinating but she finally did that! Phew!!

We are trying to keep her off furniture for fear she’ll fall but that is nearly impossible. She’s been hiding out UNDER our bed quite a bit.

Worried about my kitty.
