Buh Bye Fishies!!

You might remember a while back, on January 31st I posted about these atrocious fish hanging in my office area. I couldn't move them because they belonged to the C.E.O. and he's like a 100 and set in his ways. As I said before I have another new boss, Ms. Brenda (see picture below) she has made "the fish" disappear. Recently we are going through some upgrade period. So they just happen to go buh bye! ***waving***

I wanted to scream, and yell HOORAYYYY!!! One of the ladies from the gallery came down, I said Leseia, do you notice anything? She sounded and looked like she had just won the grand prize on The Price's Right. I kid you not. She was jumping up and down, squealing. It was a sight in it's self. The walls are bare for now. I'm fine with that. I was sick of feeling sea sick...haha.

p.s. I really think he's afraid of my boss, what do you think??



p.s.s. She would REALLY kill me if she knew I posted that pic. She sent it to my via text one day when I was off and said that is how it was going without me. haha

Quick, Quick

I gotta go so I can get out of here for Church tonight. I have been hounding a friend to help me put together some new tunes for my page. This person knew me way back in the day. I'm not sure still if that is good or bad. Hopefully though, they will be able to see the page, and hear what we together came up with.
I hope these work, I downloaded them at work where I have no speakers!! If not, forgive me this round. I will fix them later!!

For the good Times~~~

Banana Split Cake

Since it's getting spring time, I thought a spring dessert would be good. I think it's springy anyways. It's one of my favorites, and it's extremely easy!!

Enjoy!!


Banana Split Cake

What you need:

1-1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sugar, divided
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained
6 medium bananas, divided
2 cups cold milk
2 pkg.(4-serving size each) Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
2 cups thawed cool whip, divided
1 cup chopped pecan

Mix crumbs, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the butter; press firmly onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan. Freeze 10 min.

BEAT cream cheese and remaining 3/4 cup sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spread carefully over crust; top with pineapple. Slice 4 of the bananas; arrange over pineapple.

POUR milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. Gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping; spread over banana layer in pan. Top with remaining 1 cup whipped topping; sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate 5 hours. Slice remaining 2 bananas just before serving; arrange over dessert. Store any leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Kentucky Basketball

I hate to say it, being a huge Kentucky fan, but I am glad this season is over. Billy G has pretty much put the nails in the coffin for us, and no one at UK seems to notice, even though the rest of Kentucky does.

When Tubby left, I was almost ecstatic. I was hoping that we would be lucky enough to get Billy Donovan, but nooooooooooooo, wrong Billy. ***Sighs*** How is it possible that we got a drunk instead of a basketball coach?? Who, hasn't shown up all season, and yet, I haven't seen any great recruiting. He was suppose to be some "Awesome Recruiter", blah, blah, blah.

Know what they REALLY should have done?? They should have hired Pat Summit from the Lady Volvs team in TN, and got a real coach in here for Ky. So what if she is a woman?? I think she would have been great myself!! I will settle for Travis Ford. I know he hasn't been a big time coach yet, but he is heart and soul a true blue Kentuckian. He was under Rick Patino, who better could you have played for and learned under?? Come on KY, give him a shot!!

I hope this is the end for Billy G. Don't get me wrong, he's a sharped dressed, young, nice looking, single man. Yet seems to have no clue how basketball is coached.

Kentucky has a great arena. I posted a picture of the last game I went to. As you can see the game is going, but the seats aren't full. I couldn't believe it. KY use to be the hardest team to get tickets for and now, I am sadden by our lack of team spirit.

I will stand with the Blue, because I will always Bleed Blue, with Billy G., or hopefully not. haha.

The Week of Song

I can't believe I have let another week slip by without posting. As always it's been full of chaos, and on top of that my being sick. YUCK!! I had made it through almost all winter without it. But I pulled up my Granny Panties and Sucked It Up, so to speak. I came to work miserable, which worked out well with little or no voice, meant I didn't have to respond other than with a viscous look I am sure. I came home every night and went straight to bed. That meant no recipe on Tuesday. Maybe this week I will do two, to make up.

It was a week of song. You know, one of those that every day after you wake up, start getting ready for the day, some annoying little song plants itself into your mind and won't let go? Of course it's cute for the first chorus, but then by 10, when you are downing a second pot of coffee, and your singing it to yourself when people come in to get a cup, (am I really the only one who does that?) I am almost at the point of finding a hammer and beating it out of my head. Sometimes you don't even realize you are doing it. Example we are in the car, going home. I am just watching out the window, looking at the scenery. Hubby goes, "Why are you singing a Christmas song??" "What??" I say, as I look around innocently like I have no clue what he's talking about. At least today's song was something country I could get away with. If you hear someone singing "I Told You So", it's probably me. I am undecided if I like Carrie Underwoods version. I guess I'm testing both out in my head??

Anyways.....enough of that. If this spring is any inclination to what summer is going to be, we are in for it. It has been 70 the last two days, and suppose to be that warm and then some the next few. I can live with warmer weather. It means more days with my boys, like in the picture below. Aren't they cute??


Today is my Saturday to work. I hate those. It did give me time to blog though, and get caught up with everyone while I am here alone. I do miss seeing what is going on with my bloggy friends. I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. Hubby and I are going to start outdoor projects soon. Flower beds, painting, walk ways, etc.

Have a great rest of the weekend!!
