In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
What is your favorite dish to make for Super Bowl Sunday?
I find myself in this strange purgatory in my life.
It feels as if I am waiting to wait….
We are immensely lucky that we both have our jobs and they are safe in this economic environment. My school district is doing cuts that are numbered in the millions of dollars and Dave’s work is shifting positions to expand their distance of demand.
With that said… we are in a holding pattern of our life.
Our time might become a bit more limited and our family life is going to shift. For the betterment of our life… perhaps… we will both be taking on new responsibilities as parents and having to learn how to cram our life with the kids into the few hours we can.
We will also have to learn how to be partners with one another on a different level. We have one of the best relationships I've ever been in, he is selfless, caring and dedicated to our family. It is not as if I'm worried about anything right now, but I don't want to ever be in the position where I would.
Getting in those few hours here and there that we can, with my non-profit that will be started in a few months, Booster club duties and being a mom and his baseball, work and being a dad… we will have to learn how to be “us”.
Date nights are a priority; we need to have that time to ourselves where we can remember why we fell in love. Going away for the weekend to a quiet place, sitting on the porch next to a river or even just camping in the backyard are things that need to become the norm if this shifts the way I think it will.
Again, I am waiting, waiting to see what will happen.
Patience has never been a virtue of mine, I’m a girl that takes a hold of something and molds it around my life, or my life around it. I’m in a holding pattern and I have no idea what I’m doing.
Luckily… I’m a focused girl, so once I put my mind to something… it happens.

If you’re a fan (or your baby is a fan) of store-brand infant formula, ca-ching! You’re already saving as much as 40% per ounce compared to a name-brand formula.
You can save a little more with the $3 coupon offered at Baby Formula Quiz. To receive it, you’ll answer seven random about baby formula questions. You can also get a coupon for store brand infant formula by completing the name-and-address form at StoreBrandFormula.com.
I had no idea that coupons existed for store brand formula, (which is silly of me, because I use store brand of most everything else!)
You’ll find store brands of infant formula at major retailers such as Kmart, Target, and Walmart. As per FDA regulations, all formula marketed in the U.S. must meet the same basic nutrient specifications.
So if your baby likes store-brand formula, there’s no reason not to use it.
When I returned to work I used formula full time for my little ones, knowing how expensive it can be, cutting costs there would be wonderful! If you or someone you know has a little one that is using store brand formula, check out these store-brand formula coupon.
We had all intentions of going to play pool at a local pool hall.
Our mistake: Apparently pool halls are a thing of the past in our neck of Colorado.
Lesson #5 Make sure you scope out your plans ahead of time
Lesson #5.1 Improvise
I was home all day on Friday, running around doing things with teens, spending time with my best friend and so when I got home, I had plen
ty of time for a shower, blow drying my hair and then getting ready.
We both got dressed up and headed out on the town.
He looked so nice, comfortable and as always, I love to see him in boots. Reminds me of the first night we met… and being a Texas girl… it reminds me of home.
A local Mexican restaurant, lots of conversation and finally with full stomachs we headed out to look for a pool hall. Our first stop was a Bowling alley… one working table in a HORRIBLE side of town… that got nixed quickly.
So we called some friends to find out if they knew of a place. Shortly there after we went to a local watering hole, met up with three friends and spent the whole evening together.
We had a fun night going out and remembering that one of the things we loved about each other was that we could be left alone with any group of friends, and hold our own.
