31 Days of Monster SMASH! Day 7

SMASH an adventure you have had!
Seen a crazy movie, had a girls day out? 
 
I picked a recent Girls day out.
Being a mommy now doesn't leave alot of time for girl time so my Mom and our close friend Kay decided it was time to take a trip to Tucson. 
See normally a day trip to Tucson means, Michael's, Joann's and a restaurant.
Gets pretty old.
This time we went with out a plan.
 
After telling them there was 1 scrapbook store left in our area we decided it was time to visit it.
It was a cute little shop in a small town outside of Tucson.  
So many pretty things and ideas.
After an hour there it was time to get back on the road for our next stop.
 
Turns out there's a Casino not far from there!
We didn't win big there but we had FUN!
 
Then it was time for lunch, but I was itching to visit a mall I had heard about.  I knew the mall was an outside type one and it was also stores on the pricier end, but it couldn't hurt to look.
Boy were we surprised, it was so pretty and the stores were so fancy we were worried to stop, but I'm so glad we did.
We ate at a restaurant called BLANCO.  OMG it was delicious.
We were all so stuffed we had to really walk off lunch.
WE wandered the stores like Pottery Barn, BOSE, and more.
 
Then we got a sneaky idea.
Magic Mike had just come out in theatres and Mom and I really wanted to see it.
Kay surprised us and agreed we could go.
I'll be honest that was the most exciting part.
The movie was kinda a let down.
 
After the movie we just had to stop at one more Casino!
My momma loves playing the slots.
 
It definitely an adventurous day!

31 Days of Monster SMASH! Day 6

  Most Recent Favorite Recipe –
What’s the most recent tried and fell in love with?
 
Pinterest is so many ideas for crafts,
and recipes it's making my head spin!
 
But this recipe we've already used 3 times and my husband & I  LOVE it!
 
A Two Bite Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs in Toast Cups
(6 cups)
  • 6 slices of bread
  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheese
  • salt & pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin pan with butter non-stick spray.
  2. Using a cookie cutter, cut circles out of bread slices about 3 inches in diameter. (I confess I do not have a cookie cutter so I use the lid to my tub of orzo pasta and just cut around the edges ;D)
  3. Take bread circles and press them into the muffin pan, set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet on medium-high. Cook bacon on the skillet until partially cooked but still pliable, about 3 minutes.
  5. Shape bacon strips into the toast cups, fill with 1 Tbs of shredded cheese. Place in the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the bacon to toast just a little more. Remove from oven.
  6. Crack your egg and separate out most of the egg white. Drop eggs into the cups, sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Place back in the oven and cook until white begins to set, about another 8 – 10 minutes. The yolk should be creamy.
  7. Remove from oven when done and pop out using a spoon, serve warm.

31 Days of Monster Smash! Day 4

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work I go....
Today Smash about your Favorite job(s) you've had.
In my case I've had a few jobs but this one stands out the most.
Museum Gift Shop Manager
HAHA you're thinking what a dork!
Yes I know I am, lol!
But seriously this job was alot of fun.
In 2005 Justin and I moved from Sunny,
hot, dry Arizona to Rainy, foggy Virginia.
We got there the end of Feb, it was cold
and raining and the Fog was so thick.
It didn't help that it made the
historic post look even creepier.
In the fall I found out that the Casemate
Museum on post was hiring and applied.
I got hired and starting working in this
amazing and interesting place.
We lived only minutes away outside the the moat.
My co-workers would tease me that I shouldn't drive
to work it was greener and healthier to walk, but it all
changed one day when I did in fact walk
and was eaten up by mosquitoes!
They didn't tease so much after that.
Not only were my co-workers a fun group,
but in those two years I had encounters with
crazy ghosts and even more interesting living people.
I learned so much during my time there not only
about job stuff, but about the history
of the fort and the surrounding areas.


What was your favorite job?
