stationery giveaway-last chance, egg-skillet!

this morning i slept in! first saturday in a VERY long time! 8:30 felt like noon! so i decided to make a pre-Easter brunch! just a quick egg skillet. i used some of the peppers, tomatoes and onions i had dehydrated last month, and i was shocked at how fragrant they were when i cut them up! this egg skillet was supposed to have hash browns. guess what. i didn't have any. guess what i had..spicy french fries. guess what i did...i chopped up frozen spicy fries and pretended they were country fries.(starch is starch, right? only there's no way it would've worked with mashed taters..i don't think..)

i mean..they could pass as country style potatoes...right?

shriveled up like old, old people...but taste fabulous!

so simple! potatoes, 2 slices of chopped up swiss slices, some peppers, some tomatoes, some onions

add some whisked egg and mix it together , bake at 325 in the skillet (wrap handle in foil if it's not heat resistant!)

add a few slices of american cheese and turn on the broiler-but not too long!! unless you like char.

it was good! i have some left for tomorrow too!! and it's just so simple!!

so i took the boys with me to get my car inspected. i hate that. when i lived in iowa and kansas we didn't have inspections...and it's a good thing because i had a car that didn't reverse (that was tricky..i got really good at parking in spots with a slight hill so that i could roll out backwards in that car), and in the other car, the speedometer and the gas gauge didn't work. i got real good at hangin' with the pack, and watching the odometer for fuel. anyhoo, took the boys with me so i could make friends.

then we stopped at petsmart because i was hoping to find some agility equipment to train them...(i guess i'll just have to find a mini hula hoop, or a yard-dart hoop. i think that's the first training we're going to do). while we were there, i saw some treats that i thought were interesting.

appropriate for easter-shaped like eggs!!

these things are solid, and have kept the boys busy all day! bruno is still going at his, and chaco tired himself out chewing on his! (notice the heartlight pics on the fridge! someday i'll have to share all of the fun jobs i've had..heartlight is such a great ministry, if you get a chance, check it out!)

as i was running errands, i realized that when i drive, i get very serious. my dashboard speaks to my driving manner. it could be because i'm focusing on what i'm listening too-which is usually talk radio or a sermon. or it could be because i'm a beast when i drive.

meet RATTLE-IGATOR or as one of my small group girls called him, ROCKADILE

yes, that is an alligator from the dollar store. fond memories with an old kamper. smile. mags and i bought him and some peeps and went to the park and sat in the gravel after swinging and as we were telling funny stories, she was feeding him tiny pebbles (he no longer squeaks, which is ok b/c he shouldn't-he's not prepubescent anymore). anyhoo, that's how he became  rattle...i shake him every once in awhile if i get frustrated while i'm driving.

i am excited about tomorrow-i absolutely love easter because i absolutely believe in the power of the resurrection! i remember when we used to have sunrise services back in brodhead, wi. nostalgic- i think i might get up early and have a little sunrise service of my own tomorrow morning with a cup of coffee and some easter music on my balcony. thank you Jesus! (and this time i am not talking about 'hay seuss' from school)

"but they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense." luke 24:11
thing is, miracles do seem like nonsense. that's what in-credible means. it seems un-believable. so the disciples were eating crow when they actually came face to face with Jesus before he ascended into heaven...

that said, believe the unbelievable because being wrong has consequences,
