Midweek before Christmas...Are We There Yet?

The last week before Christmas has proved to be eventful!

Monday - Wednesday, we are doing school.  We also are ending the nine weeks so we are doing nine weeks exams each day.  It makes for a busy school week but is a good feeling to not have to come back after the holidays to tests and exams and try to finish up the semester.  So we are pushing through! 

 As a treat (more for me than anyone-ha!), I got Papa Murphey's pizza for tonight for dinner.  Chicken bacon artichoke, Papa's Favorite, and of course, a cinnamon wheel!  Then we will watch a Christmas movie this evening.  No youth group or men's Bible study tonight. :)

If you see this, would you say a prayer for my Volvo?  I finally pulled the trigger and got new tires.  We were in need of them very much!  Well, I picked it up and tried to get home, it stopped accelerating only to about 5 miles an hour and it started making clanging noises under the hood.  I was barely able to get it to a parking lot and then something kicked in and it was fine.  I called the mechanic and he is able to look at it this morning.  We have three daughters all working (Addie is home from college for a month) and we desperately need two vehicles with all their jobs.  Please pray it is an easy fix and doesn't break the bank.

We are also supposed to have a winter storm come through beginning tomorrow sometime after noon.  Snow changing to freezing rain or sleet which will ice everything.  

What a week!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup mayo 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.).  Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.  In another bowl, combine the crackers and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan.
