Another One to Add to the List

I love my lists! I make them for everything! But this list I am talking about is my favorite stores!! I have a lot of them...Target, Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Bath & Body Works, Ulta (thanks Angi!) I have a new one to add to it....the Family Christian Store (Thanks to Angi again!) :-) After going to dinner with Angi and her husband, we went to Best Buy and then the Family Christian Store. I fell in love! I seriously could spend HOURS in there! It was amazing. I got a couple of books and a ring. I really wanted so many more things, but had to control myself to what I got. Haha. There were some pictures that I would love to have for my house that I will one day have. One of the books I got was only $5 because I got their Family Perks Memebership Card. It is called For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn.














Here is what Barnes and Noble.com says about it.

Yummy Salsa!

I just finished making salsa for the first time. It is really good but next time I need to step away from the jalapenos. It's a little spicy! OK....a lot spicy!! It is the simplest recipe ever. I took one large green bell pepper, 2 medium white onions, 4 large tomatoes, and 2-3 jalapenos with the seeds removed, and a handful of cilantro. Add salt to taste and anything else that you might think of. Its not really a science, I just taste it at every stage of adding things. When it is the right heat and taste for you, its done!!!

I tried to take pictures but they don't look so good. Maybe next time I post a recipe I will try harder to take good ones!!

The Love of My Life.....

....Well, at least one of the many, THE YANKEES!!!! My dad was born and raised in Bronx, New York, so I became a Yankees fan as well. I am sitting here wathcing a Yankee v. Red Sox game waiting for my other shows to start, and it got me thinking about the game that my brother and sister-in-law got my dad and I tickets to. It was a couple of years ago and it was in the old stadium that they have now demolished after they built the new stadium. That weekend was a fun one. My dad and I flew out just for the weekend. My aunt stil lives on Long Island so we stayed with her and my brother got use four tickets so she and my dad's best friend came with us. It was my first major league baseball game. It was a gorgeous day starting out. We got there early and went one of the Yankee shops at the stadium and we both got jerseys. We went in and got our seats which were awesome by the way, right at the end of the tarp on the first base side and very close to the right fielder, at the time it was Bobby Abreu, who is no longer a Yankee. The only down fall to the game was that there was like a 45 min. to an hour raind delay, but we came back out after the rain stopped and the Yankees beat the Mets!! I forget what the score was, but it was an experience that I won't ever forget and I hope that I get to live again. I would love to see the new stadium.

Here are some pictures from the game!
