Sigh......I find myself bored, so that's why I'm writing in my blog. I can't seem to shake this boredom. Trying to find something that will fill my time that I enjoy. Not that there aren't things around this house that I don't enjoy. I just can't stop this bored feeling. I still have my books to read, and I could crotchet, or something. Maybe I'm just feeling senioritis....perhaps I'm just looking for the job that I love, or I don't want to have all the emptiness of time in my life that removing school will bring. Maybe that's it.
The past couple of days, I don't really have much to report. Just the fact that I have an exam tomorrow that I'm not entirely prepared for.......been getting closer to some of the people at work...hopefully that'll continue and we can become closer friends. Who knows. Kinda have a slight headache tonight....that might be part of my problem, can't really concentrate...one of those headaches. Oh well. I'll just relax tonight and enjoy our shows.

Final Fantasy XIII
Have you ever had one of those days when you woke up and just couldn't shake the sleepiness? Today I couldn't seem to. When my alarm went off this morning I groaned cause I was warm and I didn't want to pull myself out of bed. But it was nice for an hour before I went to work to cuddle on the couch with my hubby <3. I was watching our pal Hicks play Final Fantasy XIII. It is actually interesting. I like watching my guy friends play video games. As I've said before, I think I'm pretty good at understanding video game speak by now. Ok, maybe not. Dara's and Agas still confuse me. LOL.
So today wasn't the best day at work. To start it off, it was so busy. Saturdays are always busy but today seemed to be extremely so. I don't think I had a moment to myself from the time I walked to my register. But the worst of it started when I got back after my break. The first customer I had I dropped their gallon of milk on the floor, and it split down the side and started leaking all over the floor. So they had to shut down my line so that maintenance could come and mop up my mess. After that I just kept throwing things and dropping things all the time. I didn't notice one guys coupon and it got sucked under the belt. Plus I screwed up on a couple orders and needed outside help. But, the highlight of my day was my one customer who came into my line because she said she saw that I was smiling. =)
Then I got home, and my hubby was sweet and we went out and got subs. Plus, we got this awesome movie...."Backup Plan" with Jennifer Lopez. We are going to watch it after the boys leave. Yes, I am going to subject my husband to a chick flick, but it's ok, I usually watch guy action movies. I mostly watch them playing video games.
So I discovered that I love grocery shopping. Maybe it's because I just love food. But I love to spend my money in Wegmans, buying food that we can eat. Plus, especially at a certain time of the month, I tend to enjoy sweet things a little more than usual. And I have just discovered that my new sinful passion is Peanut Butter Snickers Bars. They are so good. I can barely keep myself from buying one every time I'm in the store.
So I think I am trying to find something to do, like a hobby or something. A lot of afternoons I get bored. I just want something to occupy myself. Something to spend my time doing, something that will challenge my mind. Oh well.....crocheting didn't seem to occupy me for that long.

Recipes!!!!!!!
So I would love to have a blog that is like the movie, Julie and Julia. I would love to spend every day cooking, and then blogging about it. It would be so much fun. However I don't have enough time to spend doing that right now, so I will just blog about my life when I have the chance, and a few recipes that I enjoy making.
Homemade Meatballs
1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs 2 TBsp parsley
2 Large Eggs 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 Cup Water 1 tsp Salt
1/3 Cup Romano Cheese 1/2 tsp Pepper
2 tsp Minced Garlic 1 lb Ground Beef
Add panko, eggs, water, cheese, garlic, parsley, seasoning, salt and pepper to large bowl; stir to combine. Add beef, mix until just combined. Form 3 Tbsp balls. Bake at 450 for 15-17 minutes.
So I haven't exactly made this recipe, but I have made one similar and the meatballs were extremely delicious. Plus I used a mixture of beef and sausage, which made the meatballs even more delicious. I love to cook, so making delicious things is relaxing to me. =)
So here is another recipe I tried, I didn't really like. Which was surprising to me because I love seafood generally, but this one was too rich for me.
Seafood and Cream Cheese Stuffed Shells
1 Pkg (12 oz) Jumbo Pasta Shells 1/8 tsp Pepper
2 Pkg (16 oz) Cream Cheese 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/3 Cup Mayonnaise 3 cans (18 oz) lump crabmeat
2 tsp Sugar 1/2 lb frozen cooked salad shrimp
1 1/2 tsp Lemon juice 12 Green onions finely chopped
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayo, sugar, lemon juice, pepper and cayenne. Gently stir in the crab, shrimp and onions. Stuff shells about 2 tbsp in each. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (Better if much longer.)
The guys said it tasted much better today, so maybe if it's refrigerated a little longer, like overnight, LOL.
So I don't mind cooking, but I really love to bake, and at some point I will share some recipes for that. Unfortunately I don't have the time to bake like I would like. And all the recipes I have, boring. At least I think so.

TGIF!!!!!!
Well, today was a good day. I actually remembered to something that needed to be done this morning. This is a good step for me, I wasn't lazy, I actually made myself get up and put the roast in the crockpot before I forgot this morning. Then I managed to get my homework done before class time, even though I didn't do that great with it. =P
I was also able to enjoy watching my favorite shows this morning with my hubby. Friday mornings are one of the few mornings that we are both able to sleep in a little later and watch "Let's Make a Deal" and "The Price is Right".
Then I went to class, which was interesting today. We have been working on resumes and everything that has to do with getting a job. The fake interviews in class were hilarious! But today we critiqued eachothers resumes and got tips from our professor as to how to make them better.
Then I went to work, and that was good. I do enjoy working, and talking to people. It is always interesting because I never talk to the same person for more than 10 minutes. I love talking to people, and my job gives me the chance to do that on a daily basis. I also was happy at work because I talked to my boss about giving him my resume and he sounded like it would be a good thing and that I'm doing a good job with it so far. That made me smile. =)
When I walked into our apartment, I was immediately in deliciousness heaven. The smell of the roast was overwhelming our small apartment, and it was just amazing! Then when I took it out it was crumbling and falling apart it was so tender. I made gravy to go along with it, and it just melted in my mouth. Derek was cramming it into his mouth so fast it tasted so good to him.
I mentioned that I love people, and I love to host people in our apartment. One of my biggest frustrations with our apartment is the fact that it is small, and I don't have that much room to host. Our dining room table is on the porch, piled with our junk that there isn't room for in our apartment. Anyways, I just love having our friends from school over to hang out, and to feed them on a regular basis. Last semester there was an even amount of girls and guys over at our apartment, but this semester there are just guys. They are so lucky....I will boast in myself in the fact that my cooking is better than campus food, and especially one friend of ours is over here almost every day. He has eaten more meals here, than he has at school. Good for him.
I guess the point of me mentioning all of that previous paragraph was just to say that I was sitting here on my couch watching the boys play Final Fantasy. I actually give myself props, I think I'm doing a really good job of trying to learn the different kinds of video games, and actually being able to keep up with them when they talk about their games. Most of the time anyway. =) But now we are watching CSI NY. I enjoy tv shows, and for christmas we got a 42" TV and a rabbit ear antennae, so we can actually pick up a few channels now. Which is amazing for us cause we get some of our favorite tv shows.

Me Part 1
Hi!
This is like my third try at blogging, and hopefully I'll be better at it this time. I want to use these posts to let you know who I am, and to update you on what is happening in my life.
So my name is Sarah Elizabeth, and I am 21 years old. I got married to my soulmate on August 14th, 2010. Just this past Monday we celebrated being married for 6 months. I know, we are so ridiculous, we celebrated 6 months....give us a break, like I said, only been married for 6 months. My husband's name is Derek, and he loves video games, right now he is playing through a particular game that is of no interest to me, but he seems to love. lol. He also has a passion for God that is amazing. Yes, he is far from perfect, and in no way does he always live his life for Christ, but his passion was what attracted me to him in the first place. Eventually I'll tell how we met, but I want to finish me first. Derek is currently working his way through seminary, he wants to be a pastor.
Anyways, right now I am a Senior at Baptist Bible College. I will graduate in May with an Associates of Arts degree in Office Professionals. To be quite honest, sometimes I think that maybe that isn't what I really want to do for the rest of my life, but it is a marketable skill, and I don't mind it. I do currently have a job, and I work about 20-25 hours a week.
Right now, I'm trying to grow up. Yes I know, I really should have paid so much more attention to my mother growing up. Everything she tried to teach me, I can now see why. First, I am a lazy person. Not really that driven. So I dislike getting up off the couch to go to work. Once I get my lazy butt off the couch and I happen to get to work, I love it. It's just the process that I don't particularly enjoy. I personally can't wait until I have a reason to not work, and can just be home all the time. That probably won't happen for awhile. So right now I'm having to suck it up and get up off the couch with a good attitude and go to work.
Secondly, as I said before, I am a lazy person, and I tend to be a little messy. So does my husband. So if I don't stay right on top of things, after a month, our house is buried under several layers of dirty clothes, dishes and clutter. "Honey, what smells?" "I don't know dear, but we should probably clean up and find out." Yes sadly, that is an actual conversation that we have had. So the fact that today I couldn't find our marriage license to take to the Social Security office to change my last name, kinda makes me want to stay on top of things a little more.
