sick and tired- literally


I don't really have one word to describe it, but I guess if I was forced I would have to say UHHHGGGG!!!! I was so sick on Tuesday. I think I ate some bad food or something. I don't think I have felt this sick in a long time. Well I woke up sick on tuesday and had a job interview a little bit later. I don't think it went to well. The interview itself went fairly well but i had dumb skills test I had to take and I really wasn't that with it. I guess we will find out. I am not to worried about it and I don't know if I will even take the job (if I get it) because I have job interview on Monday for I job that I will like a lot better. It is a Child Support Advocate for kind of a consulting firm. I think I might be more interested in that, than a secretarial postition.
A little background on the Pic: It is Aaron and I on the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyland. I love the picture. We look so serious for a kid ride. It was a blast.
A litte info on aaron. He is looking at going back to school and hopes to take a few classes in GIS. I guess it really all depends if the classes are full or not. If they are full we might be on the way to another school. Who knows!!!

What's for dinner tonight??

So I created a really yummy, easy and cheap dinner tonight. I got the idea from the Rachel Ray show and the back of a can of soup. I kinda mixed em' up a little! Anyway I call them chicken pot pie pockets.

Ingredients
-Refrigerated pie crust (you can get two rolled up in a box in by the refrigerated cookie dough)
-one can of condensed cream of potatoe soup
-1/4 of a cup of milk
-one cup of frozen mixed veggies - thawed
-two five ounce cans of chicken- drained

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix soup, milk, veggies, and chicken in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste (i didnt use any and thought it was very flavorful). Set aside. Take first pie crust out of package and on a floured surface take a rolling pin and roll the dough thinner. Next take a bowl about three to four inches in diameter (or whatever size you want). Dip the rim of the bowl in flour and cut out as many circles as you can. Repeat with the second pie crust. Fill each circle with a litte bit of the chicken mixture. Fold the circle in half and crimp the edges with a fork dipped in flour to close the edges. Cut two small slits in the top of each pocket and brush the tops with wisked egg (I dont really have a tool to do this so I take a paper towel - crunch it up and dip it in the egg and then dab on top of pockets). Bake the pockets between 15 and 20 minutes. Pockets will be done when pie crusts are golden brown. Hint: I lined a cookie sheet with foil so if the pockets leaked any thing, it would be an easier clean up.




If you want a visual the pockets kind of look like mini calzones. And they really easy to make and tasted really good.

So there is not much more going on, except that I went to the doctor today and got my customized foot insoles. Hopefully my feet will start feeling better. I have a good arch in my foot but when I stand up the arch flattens. which pulls and tears muscles near the heel of my foot. The only way to describe how it feel is to imagine that there are shards of glass inbetween my muscle and bone in my heel. Oh it hurts so bad sometimes and then not so bad other times. But like I said hopefully it will get better.
