Took a Blog Break

I haven't written in a while because I kind of took a blog break.  One reason I took a break is because I haven't felt inspired to write about anything.  I also took a break because Andy and I are creatures of habit.  We do a lot of the same stuff over and over again.  I don't know how many times I can write about attending another spring training game with the Campbell's so I just decided not to write. 

Besides being creatures of habit we are also LAME.  We haven't done much lately, but the things we have done prove our lameness. 

Example #1: We went out on a Saturday night with Mike and AJ for drinks. 

• Lame #1: We got there early (aka 7pm) to get a table on the patio to have food with our drinks. 
• Lame #2: We left by 10pm because it got overly crowded around 9:30pm for the "whoop it up" crowd.  We are not in the "whoop it up" crowd anymore so we decided to head home to the animals.

Example #2:  We went to the Giants game the first weekend of spring training this season. I guess that is stepping out of our usual behavior of only attending the Cubs games at the Cubs stadium.  A little background: This stadium is in downtown Scottsdale and is supposed to be the stadium to go to for partying and great people watching.

• Lame #1: I did not enjoy my time there for the reasons people say I should have enjoyed my time there.  I had fun because of the people we were with and the beautiful weather and that is it. 
• Lame #2: I went to the bathroom and found myself super annoyed as I stood in line for 30 minutes with a bunch of drunk girls talking babble.  Ok, I did not judge because that was me 10 years (ok, maybe 3 years) ago.  I just did not find that fun at all and instead it made me want to leave. Who wants to stand in line and wait to use the restroom?  Not this girl! 
• Lame #3: Sitting in the lawn was not relaxing as we were basically on top of our neighbors.  Not my idea of fun anymore.  Maybe 3 years ago I would have found this a good time to meet and greet my drunk neighbors who were sitting on our blanket by the 6th inning, but not anymore. 

Example #3: Costco visits.  Ok, normally Costco visits would not count as lame, but here is why I count them as lame.

• Lame #1: Doing our Costco shopping trip on a Friday night and being excited about it.
• Lame #2: See Lame #1 over-and-over again.

Besides being lame, or you could call it adulthood, I have been utilizing my Pinterest account.  Yup, I made these fabulous dishes and they were Yummy!

This was Salmon over spinach noodles.  The recipe called for canned salmon, but that sounds awful, so I grilled salmon and then broke it up before I added it to the sauch.  This was pretty good.

I also made these stuffed shells.  They were very good.  The only thing I would change for next time is to add some kind of sauce.  Other than that, very yummy!

I made baked taquitos too.  These are amazing!  I did not take a picture, but the flavor was awesome and I was very pleased that they were baked and not fried because I love taquitos, but the fried ones are so bad for you.  Not that these ones were totally healthy or anything, but baking versus frying does help.

Hopefully I don't get in another blog rut!
