I have discovered an amAZING recipe. Seriously, its just a chicken quesadilla, but I don't care. :)
Recipe:
1. Grab a small skillet and turn stove on medium heat (maybe one notch higher).
2. Warm a CORN tortilla (not flour). Allow to bubble on each side before flipping. Put it aside with a piece of reduced fat provolone cheese on top to start melting.
3. Chop up some precooked boneless, skinless, grilled chicken (1 serving = 4 oz raw, or about 2.5 oz cooked) and put it on top of the cheese. (I popped mine in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds first since it was in the fridge.
4. Warm another tortilla. Once done, place on top of chicken.
5. Put the quesadilla back on the skillet to warm up a little more and to melt the cheese.
6. Eat it fast, that shit is tasty.
Here is the nutritional breakdown:

I have some more amazing recipes I REALLY want to share, but I have 8% battery life right now on my laptop and I have to be at work in like, 20 minutes. Peace outttt :)

500
So Macy broke down last week. I think it was like Thursday or something. Apparently my fuel pump went out. FML, right? RIGHT.
So I'm at work yesterday, having the worst day ever...and I get a call from the lady at the car shop.
"...So, I've got the bad news - its your fuel pump."
I was like yeh, that's what we figured. How much is it gonna be?
"Well the labor alone is $264.15."
Then my day went from bad to insanely awful. LUCKILY (Thank God...literally) I know someone who knows someone and I'm getting a fuel pump for SUPER cheap. ($200) They are normally between $300 and $700. I DIED when I heard that...you know, before I was told that I had connections. THEN, after I found out that I was already up to $464.15, I was informed that I must also buy a fuel filter to go with it or it couldn't be warrantied out. Those, can be anywhere between $15 and $70. I learned today, that to buy it with my pump...its an extra $100. I'm buying a $20 one from AutoZone.
Long story short: its gonna be about $500 to fix my car, and I can't even get it back for like a week or longer.
The house is getting clean though.

Gym Bitches
So, like I've said before, there are blocks of time when you can go to the gym and ACTUALLY get the chance to work out. Any time before about 8 am, around lunch time is okay until about 4 pm, and then from like 8:30 pm until like 8 the next morning.
I. Absolutely. Despise. going during those blocks of time when there's just a shit ton of people there. Its usually sluts with their other little girlfriends prancing on the treadmill or attempting to do some abs. Ugh. You're taking up my space. You can do that crap at home. Like, for REAL. And then the guys that are there...are absolute douche bags. They are there to show off their muscles and try to impress/pick up chicks. ;asdfkajsd
I'm not like one of those girls who is super competitive or anything about working out, but just don't waste my time or the space in the gym that I need to get MY stuff done. I think over the 7 months I've been working out on the regular, I've seen about TWO females who actually knew what they were doing.
I had to get that out of my system. Blegh.
I'm chowin' down on some leftover grilled chicken and steamed green beans from dinner last night. :) YUM. (Thanks Sonia)
Other than that, I'm just chillin' at the apartment. Ziggy is sleeping, so for the next like 30 minutes, I don't have to deal with a kitten trying to tear everything up. I'm waiting on Keely to let me know when we are going back to the gym, and I am waiting on Courtney to call me so I can help her move in.
Keely's wedding is in THREE days!! I went to Savannah and got my shoes the other day. They're heels. I don't walk in heels well. I'm scared this is going to turn out badly...haha

Bridesmaids and Basketball
The other day, I was asked to post. I guess I've been slackin' a little. :) Mahhh B. ;)
So Misty and I ordered our bridesmaids' dresses for Keely & Scott's wedding! We are SO excited. I won't post a picture yet. We'll keep everything a secret until the wedding. Hehe
I also have another secret for you, but you'll have to wait for it. Just keep checking back. ;)
Our kitten is getting so big! We got him a little house/condo/scratch post thing. Its so cool. I love those things. We got him a $4 playcubething at Dollar General last week. He plays with it SO much. They thought he'd hate it.
Work is going well.
My grandpa is in the hospital. He has Pancreatitis. I've never had to see someone go through anything like this before, and it is so awful to go to the hospital and see him in so much pain. He's on so many meds that I can barely understand what he says when he's talking to me, and he always wants to be asleep. I understand why he always wants to sleep, I mean the medicine makes him drowsy and all, its just not like him. I hate it.
Today was the last of 2 days off I had this week. Wednesday-Sunday I work every day. <-- YAY for money. :)
I'm off to 'watch' this playoff game with the boys. Ugh.

Ziggalicious
I've been working hard this weekend! Double on Friday and Saturday, and then I worked tonight. I was supposed to be a double today also, but to be completely honest, I'm glad I didn't. I needed that extra sleep time. I also got the chance to make a trip to the store finally! I still need to go again, because we are definitely needing a couple things, but I just really didn't feel like getting everything today.
I am such a bargain shopper. I will spend 50 cents on a toothpaste once just to make sure its not as good as the expensive kind. I mean hey, if it is then you know from then on that you can spend 50 cents on a tube of toothpaste from the dollar store instead of 3.50 on one from Walmart. (That was just an example, I'm not gonna lie...I'm a freaking toothpaste snob. That's okay though, because I do use dollar store brand other things. :))
So, I haven't used Facebook much lately so I haven't had the chance to tell everyone, but we got a kitten! He showed up at Hannah's door one night after a storm and wouldn't leave so she posted him on Facebook asking someone to take him. We've been wanting a cat anyways, so I got him! We took him to the vet the next day and got his shots and tests done. He's nine weeks old (about ten now) and we named him Ziggy. :) :) He is absolutely the cutest thing in the world! I really miss Marley, but I can't get her back now.
I guess I'm going to get ready for bed. I'll probably post in another 3 weeks. :)

Oh So Productive
Today has been SO productive. I have had a million things I've been planning on doing and I finally got the chance to do them all. :) I finally had time to melt down all the old candles I have. I poured them into clean glass containers I had and made some new layered candles. Also, I was able to clean out those candle jars so that I could use them for different candles whenever I have enough wax to fill those.
The first picture is an old candle jar that I had and was boiling it to melt the rest of the wax to use as a layer in another candle. The second picture is the same jar after I cleaned it out with olive oil. I tried olive oil and vinegar, since that's what I found that people online said would work. The olive oil worked WAY better though. It was amazing, it rubbed out the soot and the wax! I just put it on a paper towel and went to it. Afterwards I just scrubbed the jar with a dish brush with soap in it and got rid of the extra oil. The next picture is a different jar I was also making into a candle. I got my wick, fit it to touch the bottom, and then wrapped the excess around a pen and laid it across the top of the jar. The fourth picture is the finished product. And then the last picture is just another candle I made. :)
Also, I made these zucchini turkey burgers that Jamie Eason has online a while back. They were so freaking good. I bought the stuff to make them again, and began that today, but then I realized that I still don't have half the seasonings I need, so I will get that and do it another day :)
Last, I actually started making my healthy recipes again. I am ECSTATIC about. Because believe it or not, the recipes are super tasty. MMMMM. At the moment, I am waiting on my protein bars to harden up in the fridge, and I'm waiting on a weeks worth of steel cut oats to finish slow cooking in my crock pot! I'm making apple pie oatmeal. It's a mix between like three different recipes that I found, so I hope it turns out okay!
