Spent the day being studious

I have spent the entire day (I got to the coffee shop at 11am and it is now almost 5 pm … and I will be here for a few more hours) being studious and working on my History paper and although it is about half way done I feel like I didn’t accomplish much. I have about 2 of 5 pages done although since I have only covered the first 2 modules and there are 4 more this paper might end up being well over the assigned 5 pages but, the professor said it was fine to go over. I have to make sure that I get at least a B+ on it because otherwise despite having an A in the class right now anything less than a B+ paper will fail me which makes NO sense at all but whatever! Kat will be here in less than 2 hours to help me get a grip on what the hell I am doing with my English paper so I guess I should keep working *sigh*.

School is trying to kill me

So next week is my final week of classes and all the papers and projects that are due are killing me! I have a Business project due the 17th (which is almost done with only a little missing information then it will be ready to create a final copy), a 6-8 page research paper for English on a topic of our choosing (bottle feeding and attachment parenting) due on the 18th (doing the formal outline now because the teacher is making us do it all drawn out) and a 5 page paper in History on a specific question with evidence from every chapter of the book due on the 20th (I have the introduction and first 2 chapters done on the outline).I also have my Math final on the 18th too so needless to say I am pretty overwhelmed right now by school. I have 1 week off before my summer semester starts and I am taking the next Math class I need .. it shouldn’t be too bad because it is only covering the last 3 chapters in the book that we are using now. To get ahead of my Sociology class this fall I have already ordered the 2 books that we will be reading off Amazon and hopefully my English books will be listed soon so I can order those too.

I have also been getting Kidlet ready for her school trip to D.C. in less than 2 weeks and trying to plan out my trip to Kentucky to see Jenn in July … things are just so crazy around here … I need to clone myself in order to get everything done.

Pardon The Dust

Please excuse the mess around here … I am trying to create a twenty eleven child theme while working on my final paper from school so things will be looking odd and constantly changing.

Now that my luggage arrived I want to runaway!

Taco Helper

Cammie — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:59:44 +0000

I was at a loss for what to make for dinner tonight but, I knew I had ground beef & a crock pot so I used a little googlefu magic to come up with some ideas. I found a bunch of recipes for things like taco soup & taco casserole but, they would take way too long to cook so what was a girl to do? Improvise! I knew I had 3 hours or less to have dinner ready for this hungry family of 3 adults and a teen so I started to get creative and this is what I ended up with.

Taco Helper:

3lbs ground beef

1 can sloppy joe mix

2 packets taco seasoning

1 box elbow pasta

Cheese (I used cubed sharp cheddar & shredded Mexican Blend)

Dried onion flakes

Garlic Powder

Turn crock pot on low & add the can of sloppy joe mix, 1 package of taco seasoning & a handful of onion flakes.

Brown ground beef in a skillet with garlic powder to taste then drain.

Add ground beef to crockpot, add 2nd packet of taco seasoning & add one can of water.

Throw some of the cheese in the crock pot & stir well cover & let cook on high.

Next cook the box of elbows until done but, just firm.

Then add pasta to crock pot until you have a good ratio of past to meat mixture. (I had some pasta left over)

Cook on high another 20 minutes or so.

Add more cheese on top and set to low and let it cook until the cheese melts.

Then you are done!

This fed all four of us with enough left over to have another dinner later in the week.
