Polar Plunge

Good job boys! It looked super cold, I WAS super cold, but you did a good job in your jump!

Yummy

Recently I've been craving this snack dish. I made it for the superbowl and just LOVE it. Now I've made it several times since just to have in the fridge for a filling snack. I know it as Texas Caviar but I'm sure it has other names.

1/2 red onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped (someimtes I use just two green ones if the red and yellow are really expensive at the time)
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can white corn, rinsed and drained
1/2 C white vinegar
1/2 C sugar (I use either all splenda or half and half of splenda and sugar)

Mix all ingrediants together. Chill for 2-4 hours before serving. Servce with tortilla chips, scoops work the best. I have been using pretzels since chips are too fatty and I think it tastes just as good.

Summer fun

So I was reminiscing yesterday about the badger tailgates of this past year and came across this picture. It just makes me laugh....

Happy Tailgates!

Congrats!!

Congrats to my friends Tina and Curt on their recent wedding in Hawaii. Tina looks absolutely awesome!! (So do you Curt, should I say handsome?) Sorry I couldn't be there. I miss you both so much. Good luck to Curt during his next tour of duty in Iraq.

She's STILL Beautiful

This past weekend I went to the Rascal Flatts/Jessica Simpson concert at the Kohls Center. WHAT? Country concert? Me? My sister won two tickets off the radio and I thought it could be pretty interesting considering all the negative press Jessica Simpson has been getting lately.

We had pretty good seats, section 108, row Q which was only one section away from the stage. It was a pretty neat set up, I have never seen a stage that went all the way around the floor. The only down side was that my sister and I were sandwiched in between the 8 fattest people at the show (us included!). OMG, how does this happen!?!? We were shoulder to shoulder to women on both sides of us that really did need two seats. And of course, in front of us, 4 barely there, barely 21, stick figure girls. Bad luck I guess :(



Jessica Simpson was up first. I was worried people would boo her but our crowd here in Madison was pretty supportive and cheered and clapped for her. So all I can say is that she's STILL ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN THE WORLD. She looked good to me! She had on short shorts and a black and gold top. My pictures don't really do her justice but I thought she still looked really good. I wouldn't be complaining if I looked at her, no matter what the damn media says! Her singing was surprisingly better than I had expected. She didn't actually sing many country songs. She even sang a couple songs from back in the day. But overall, I thought she did a really nice job!

An hour after the start of the show, Rascal Flatts took the stage. They were pretty darn impressive. They had a good light/video show to go along with their singing. I knew some of the songs, not all, but enough to be able to tap a beat and sing a few verses.

They traveled around the huge stage to make sure everyone had a good look at them which I thought was neat. Their fiddle player was really good too! Aren't they always though?

The concert last 3 hours or so and I was quite impressed with the whole evening. I tell ya, the second the temperature in Madison hits above freezing, the whores come out and dress like crazy!! It was totally fun people watching at the concert too! Thanks sis for winning tickets!

Yup...They Rock!!!

Yup I don't care who you are but you have to admit that was one of the best and most exciting football games ever!! I was a wreck the whole time (just ask Jeremy!) but it was SO AWESOME to see my team win out.

Go Team Go

Yeah--the Steelers are playing in the superbowl!!!!

Irritations...

Two things are irritating me today and I thought I'd share (especially since I've not been doing well with my bloggin recently)

1. Why can't people stay in their own goddamn lane on the road?!? Just because there is snow on the sides of the roads, doesn't give you the right to just come over into MY lane to avoid the snow bank or parked cars without signaling. ESPECIALLY BUSES AND LARGE TRUCKS!! OMG, so irritating. Is it just me or is anyone else having this trouble?!

2. I can't seem to wrap my brain around people who are in their mid 50's but have the emotional and social capacity of a 12 yr old. GROW THE FUCK UP. (Excuse the language) Not only does it irritate me having to DEAL with these people but it irritates the entire staff and disrupts everyone. FUCKING RETIRE ALREADY you old bag!!

Thanks for listening! I promise to have some new, less angry posts soon!

One more...

I'm working on my day off but its ok because.....
