Weekend Recap

Friday after work I headed to Mike's house to eat some fish and we played the Wii. 

Saturday Mike and I spent most of the day by going to look at the river, riding the 4-wheeler and hitting a few golf balls in their field. That afternoon we got a call to bring some water to a neighbor's field where they were burning their fields off and it got away from them. By the time we got there the fire had mostly died down. That evening we headed back to my house to get cleaned up to run into town to buy a few groceries. 

Sunday we headed back to St. Elizabeth to meet Mike's uncle at his grandma's before going to church. It's kind of a tradition or routine for Mike and his brother Steven to always go to their grandma's house before church. After church we (Mike, Steven and I) had to get a heifer who was about to have her calf in the pin so they could keep closer eye on her. Well I didn't really helped just watched and helped keep the gate closed. Later we headed back to my house so Mike could watch the race while I cleaned and took a nap. Mom had fixed roast, carrots, corn , potatoes and gravy with lemon cake and frozen peaches for dessert.

Corn Bags, Therapeutical

A coworker of mine, Marcia gave me a corn bag so I could stay warm here at work since I am always freezing! It works great, you just heat it up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and voila* instant heat to keep warm. You can also freeze it and use it that way.

Microwave It For!
Backaches, Migraines, Arthritis, Bursitis, Insomnia, Sinusitis, Earaches, Menstrual Cramps, Neck Pain, Colic, Muscle Pain, Flu, Fibromyalgia, Stress, Aches, General Pain, and Warmth.

Freeze It For!
Heatstroke, Black Eye, Burns, Bruises, Tendonitis, Hives, Nose Bleeds, Swelling, Fever, Headaches, Toothaches, Sport Injuries, Carpal Tunnel.

**I'm sure most of you already knew this. I looked up my term of spelling for wa la and it's actually spelled voila (vwä-ˈlä). My whole life I've pronounced it starting with a "w" instead of a "v"! Opps!! :o)

Aces of Cakes

One of my new favorite shows is Ace of Cakes on the food network. It's based on Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, Maryland. Their talent is similar to Cake Boss on TLC, but the shows are totally different and each offer something different to the table. Cake Boss is more of a family based business with Buddy Valastro of Carlo's City Hall Bake Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey where Ace of Cakes is about Duff Goldman who went to culinary school and decided to base his techniques into cakes with finding the best team possible to make that dream a reality.

Their talent is amazing, here is a few examples of Charm City Cakes (Ace of Cakes) work:

Bandana's Restaurant

Bandana's BBQ Restaurant is coming to Rolla where the Feedlot Restaurant used to be at along I-44 and formerly known as Ground Round. Their license was just granted Monday so it will take awhile for the restaurant to be running. I think it's a great location for one. Nice to see something going into that building, it's been abandoned for a couple of years and was built in 2002. Was a waste to just sit there!

The Bachelor

Well it's official!!! Jake proposed to Vienna on last night's finale of the Bachelor. I was very disappointed since I was rooting for Tenley from the very beginning. It was very obvious Tenley won over Jake's family hands down, but in the end Jake's heart was with Vienna.

Weekend Recap

Friday Mike and I just stayed at his house playing the Wii and catching up on my facebook.

Saturday we drove down to the river to kill some time before dinner and played the Wii again. That afternoon I headed home to get ready for a girl's party at Natasha & Dustin's house. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to spend some time with them since I am never around the Vienna area anymore.

Sunday I went to Mike's church with him and spent the afternoon at his house. Then we went back to my house to watch the race. That evening Todd cooked BBQ hamburgers while mom made the side dishes along with Apple Dumplings for dessert.

This week...
Tonight is the finale for the Bachelor! I am super excited for this, but a little disappointed since I am pretty sure Vienna will win Jake's heart instead of Tenley!

Tomorrow Mom is going to have a liver biopsy done. Be sure to keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

Thursday is my work's Lipstick & Purse-N-Ality Event at the Havener Center here in Rolla. I am so glad I decided to decline and not be in the runway this year. It will be nice to be on the other side to just sit back and watch.

Lipstick & Purse-N-Ality

It's back! Last Fall my work put on a Ladies Night called Lipstick & Purse-N-Ality next Thursday, March 4th. There will be several vendors and a runway show. Admission is $1 and all proceeds go to the Russell House.

Kaden Michael Feeler

Here is a few pictures of my cousin Kristen's little boy, Kaden. He is a cute little guy and wish we could see him more, they live in Arizona with my Uncle Russ. Too cute of pictures not to share... enjoy!

Weekend Recap

Friday Mike and I headed to a friend's house for a fish fry and to play some pitch.

Saturday I headed home early to attend my great Uncle Merle's funeral. It was a nice service and I thought the preacher did a good job describing his life and stories. That evening Mike came over and we watched The Blind Side. I highly recommend seeing this movie. Sandra Bullock did a good job playing the part of Michael's (Big Mike) guardian (or adopted mother).

Sunday I woke up to the aroma of bacon. Mike had fixed us bacon and egg sandwiches. Made a mess with the grease, but it's the thought that counts. I think it must be a guy thing as my dad always gets grease everywhere when he cooks. That afternoon we watched the race and Desperate Housewives. I believe I've turned Mike into a TV drama person. He loves to watch Desperate Housewives and Army wives, I think he gets more excited about a new episode than I do.

Legends of the Fall

Over the weekend we watched Legends of the Fall. It was a very addicting movie to watch.

Colonel Wlliam Ludlow and his three sons (Samuel, Tristan and Alfred) live in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, USA, at the beginning of the 20th century. When Samuel brings with him his fiancé Susanna, the fellowship of the 3 brothers is about to be broken. The eldest son, Alfred, falls in love with Susanna, and she falls in love with Tristan. Thing becomes worse when the three brothers decide to join the first World War in Europe in 1914, despite their father's objection. The bond of the brothers is about to be broken forever, and so is Colonel William's heart.

Greeters

Saturday on my way home from Mike's house I was greeted by these three deer starring at me. I had barely noticed them since they blended in so well with mother nature. We used to have several deer in our field almost every night until my dad put up a fence for our horses. It was always a routine for us when we got home late to shine our headlights towards the top of the field to see how many deer we could see.

Weekend Recap

Friday I met Mike in town at St. Elizabeth where we headed to the local bar where they had a DJ party. Didn't stay very long and headed back to Mike's house.

Saturday I headed back home to take some photo's in St. James for our Newcomers magazine. I wasn't impressed with the photos since it was a dreary day. St. James is a beautiful town, for next year's I will try to remember to take fall pictures for the cover and inside. Here is two cover possibilities... let me know what you think! I'm not entirely sold on either one and knowing me I will probably change it at the last minute.



That evening I took Mike out to eat for Valentine's at Matt's Steakhouse. I tried to get a reservation last week and they were already BOOKED! Just my luck, so I knew no matter where we went to we would have to wait anyways. Our food was very good, they are a little on the expensive side, but it was well worth it and worth the wait. Afterwards we got a few groceries and headed home to watch Grey's Anatomy recorded from Thursday night. I don't know what I would do without my DVR!

Sunday we headed to my grandma's for dinner where she made homemade Chicken and Dumplings. That afternoon Mike watched the Daytona Race while I cleaned and took a nap. Mom had fixed a heart shaped meatloaf for supper.

... and finally my shoes came in the right size from Christmas. I love them!
