Rv Show...Can't Wait

No I am not buying an RV, as the one we like is $750,000, and way out of our housing allowance, but we are going to the Tacoma Rv show tomorrow. Eric & I love to watch rv shows on tv & discuss what requirements we would have if planning a large purchase such as this.I don't know why , but it's so fun to us. I also collect realestate magazines & mark the ones I like to show to Eric...that annoys him though b/c we will not even be in the states to purchase a house for 3-4 more years:( With the market like it is we could afford a nice place back in Florida where we used to own a little town home & want to live again one day. Since we have owned once before we have a little bit of an idea of what we would like next time. Of course, being able to "afford" our wants is a different story:)There is a show on tv that I like to watch called My First Place. I love watching the people as they home search. I enjoy living vicariously through these strangers.

Salmon and Chive Muffins

I found this recipe today, tweaked it a little & it was delicious. I am posting it here in case anyone wants to try it...I realize, my sister confirming this to me earlier today, that this recipe may sound gross, but it really was very tasty:)Would be great for a brunch type thing.

Salmon and Chive Muffins
Preheat oven to 395*
Grease muffin cups

Mix together 1 cup milk, 80 grams of melted butter, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1/2 c fresh chives (added salt & pepper to mine)in a jug & shake well.

Pour into 2 cups sifted self-rising flour & stir until almost mixed...add 1 can pink or red salmon ( I didn't want that strong of a fish taste, so I added 1 packet of mango salmon, found in grocery store by the tuna fish) Sounds gross I know...

Pour into baking cups 3/4 of the way full.
I made a little hole in the middle of each muffin & stuffed cream cheese inside.
Bake for 18-20 minutes.

It smelled so yummy baking:)

Recent Happenings

Well the most exciting thing literally, is that the sun has been out for 3 or 4 days!! I feel like a different person in spring & summer. I have a little more energy & I definitely have more ambition. I just feel pretty happy. I am trying not to get used to it though...spring around here is tricky. Yesterday I took the children to the pond on base...it is a little ways from my house so it was great exercise. The babies loved it...we saw an eagle! Today I took them to the gym. They have a family workout room & you can watch the kids play through a glass partition. It's nice if there aren't too many people there...otherwise it's scary! Eric has our move almost completely set up. I hope nothing big gets broken this time:( I watched a show about Tokyo & the people on the train were so crammed it looked like one of those college phone booth contests...the door wouldn't even close, they had to literally shove the people in to get the door to close...omg! NO, I am claustrophobic & I can't even think about that right now. I will deal with it if & when it happens, but I hope I do not experience that! I bought a Japanese language book...um, wow...I have no English or Japanese words to describe how lost I am when I look at that book....I will stick to the CD we borrowed for now. I only know 2 words, yes & no. Eric has a list of countries that he will get to visit, and he takes great pleasure in reminding me about that...not nice! I hope that I get to visit a few...I BETTER get to:)
One week & 3 days of home daycare left. I really will miss these babies. I know that they are not mine, but they feel like it. I am used to spending 9-10 hours with these little people, we have a routine & we know each other very well. They are good kids, I am kinda sad about leaving them:(
Not much else going on. I have been eating yellow squash for several days. I fry it with a little EVOO, hehe, & flour. It is light & delicious. I am trying to eat light at lunch to shed a few unsightly lb's. I looked in the mirror & caught a glance of horrid back fat eww. I almost screamed in dismay. I immediately instant messaged my sister to see if she new how to get rid of it, but she didn't know any good moves. I think I need to step up my weight program a little. It isn't like it's new, it just jumped out at me & looked bigger than usual, unacceptable.
One last thing. My good friend Stacy is going to have a baby:)I am so happy for her & Andy. They have a beautiful 8 year daughter who was the flower girl in our wedding & I know she is going to be a great big sister! I am very excited for them.
