Thirty Thursday's {9}

The topic for week number 9's installment of Thirty Thursday's is: Would you rather be deaf or blind?

Abby: 
I would rather be deaf than blind. Because, I hate being in the dark and I love color. To lose my sight would be far more devastating than losing my hearing. But, I hope to not lose either ability in the near future. 

Alex: 
I, too, would rather be deaf. Because, I would rather see what's around me than hear it. I could figure out how to read people's lips and not have to hear/listen to the garbage people say. 

Rainy Day

Do you ever have those mornings that you wake up with every intention to tackle your "To Do List" to find out it's raining? That's what happened to me today...I woke up, heard the rain and rolled back over. I don't think I would be a very good citizen of Seattle or London or wherever else it rains a lot. Poor Moose wants to go outside and explore this wet, new land. But, it's rainy and gross, so I'm not going to go further than our front door step. My "To Do List" entails a lot of errands and that means getting wet. So, we'll see if there is any dinner on the table. But, every rainy day means a lot of time wasted watching YouTube videos....so I will share some of my favorites...

Things that make me laugh...

According to Charlie Chaplin, "A day without laughter is a day wasted." So, in an effort not to waste a day, I will share some things that are making me laugh.

This blog post is HILARIOUS and follow it up with this one! 

There is a website out there for everyone. Seriously, if you have a hobby or an interest there is something out there for you. I can and have sat mindlessly scrolling through dogshaming.com. It's sad I know, but if you have a dog it's relate-able...for the most part. 

If you have an iPhone, texting is not always as easy as it should be...

Last but not least, a self explanatory picture.

Tasty Cookin'

Tonight I made dinner. It doesn't happen as often as it should, but I made dinner and it was good! So, I will share the recipe with you. It started as a Weight Watcher's recipe...but I added bacon, so I don't think it was really "1 Point."

3 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Can Rotel
2 (1 lb.) Bags of frozen broccoli and mixed veggies
10 oz. Velveeta Light

Bring the chicken broth, Rotel and veggies to a boil and then add the cubed Velveeta. It was a little spicier than I had anticipated so if you're feeding little mouths or tender palates, go with the mild version of Rotel. Add bacon if you want to, it definitely wasn't a bad idea. I served it with salad and Hawaiian bread (yummmmm) and I got the nod of approval from Alex and Greg (his brother).

Happy Cooking!!
