Spaghetti, Christmas songs and the likes

On Monday night, I picked up some ground beef with intentions of making spaghetti soon; soon was last night, and it was a good decision.
 I had heard that caramelized onions in spaghetti sauce is delicious...so I started by doing that (it takes like...30 minutes+). Then I started cooking the beef, and added some mushrooms. After all that, I just added in a jar of tomato and basil pasta sauce. (And also whole wheat spaghetti).
Guys...it was really really good. The only down side?
I basically made enough to feed a family of 5. Which isn't all that bad of a side ;)

But boy was it delicious, and it's a good thing because I've got all this...

So over the river and through the woods and into the freezer you go! I have 2 portions for lunch this week and 3 more for...well, whenever I want them!

OH, and for the record...I'm not really an onion person, at all. But those caramelized onions...they were delicious. Also, I should definitely eat those Eggo's sometime...

And on to more Christmasy things!
I'm going to assume you can recall this from yesterday...

 

Since I started late, yesterday I caught up on the first three. Today, I'll do 4 and 5 and hopefully, be able to stick with it until the end! (It's not too late to join!)

On the 4th, I was supposed to give my favorite Christmas song... and well...I was too tired to even think about my favorite Christmas song last night!

First off...I'll start with saying that I love all the Christmas "Hymns" or songs we sing at church. Always makes church just a little more enjoyable when you're singing Christmas songs left, right and center :D

I guess I'm just going to list them off because there's only 15 (they go from pages 201-215):

-Joy to the World

-Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful

-Angels We Have Heard on High

-Silent Night

-Once in Royal David's City

-Away in a Manger

-It came upon the Midnight Clear

-O Little Town of Bethlehem

-Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

-With Wondering Awe

-While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks

-Far, Far Away On Judea's Plains

-The First Noel

-I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

-Ring Out, Wild Bells

Ah~! That's the stuff :) Some of these will look familiar to most of you, others a few probably won't 'ring a bell' ;)

Other than those, I still have a mighty fine list of some of my faves (from last year) that haven't changed!

So just go look at that post...have you gone yet? GO!

And for old times sake, let's post some Merry Christmas Baby ;) (It better start playing on the radio soon...)

OH MAN! And this...(since we're all reminiscing on my last Christmas' list)

I can't pick a favorite Christmas song...they're all good. Ok?? Ok....

And we're up to today! Where I'm supposed to share the best gift I've ever received. Guys...this is hard. When I was young, I loved (okay...and still do love) everything Disney. I got lots of 101 Dalmatians business and I also loved Barbie's. I also always got some S & V chips :D (which are a pretty great gift). I have no idea what the BEST gift I ever received was...but I'd say the most memorable would be when I got a red Game Boy SD. I was in my early teens... and my other siblings chipped in to get my mom a crock pot. There was a little bit of fundage left over, so they gave sweet little me a Game Boy! I had always wanted one...so at the time, I basically thought it was the best thing ever.

(Google images)

I do still have it...but I haven't played it in years. (Which is probably for the best...).

Now I've got myself a 'Gaming Boy' ;) (Wow, I'm turning into my mother...my family will understand). Love you mom! No disrespect Scott, I know you don't game nearly as much lately. Love you!

So...do share! What's your favorite Christmas song?? And what's your most memorable Christmas gift??
OH! And do you want some Spaghetti?? ;)

Peace out for meow :)!

2 day meltdown

2 days until Christmas~! Craziness? Well I think so anyways.
I feel almost like a child. It's not as though I'm losing sleep or anything but... well, I am excited for Christmas. However, a big part of that may have something with my not being home for awhile and it'll be nice to just have a few days to relax and eat terribly (and in excessive amounts) :)

So I leave today after work...not that I'm at work now...ya (>.<)
ANYWAYS -- I'm definitely looking forward to it all (:

I was meaning to get on here before now but I've been a busy little bird! First off, I've been going on dates! Haha. You're probably thinking what the heck...you? Because well I don't think I ever really talk about dudes because I never go on dates! I talk to guys quite a bit, but ya...don't date really. I don't know what it is as of lately but *shrugs* I'll run with it for now ;P Anyways...one consisted of watching Emporer's New Groove - 'Nuff said...awesome. Another guy we went out for hot beverages (he had tea, I had hot chocolate [duh]) then we went and made some granola bars at his house. And they're so good! Seriously haha. If you're interested in making some - ask me for the recipe! Then another guy I've just been hanging out with the most - we've done a few random things, and overall he's my snuggle buddy (it just happened, ok?). But that's all the details you're getting from me - for now at least.
Another thing I've been busy with... trying to find a place to live! My sister is coming back soon (December 29th?) and I think they were wanting me out by then. But I haven't found a place yet :( WHAT TO DO?!? *sigh* I guess I'll figure it out and cross that bridge when it's completely necessary. So Along with my sister coming back I've been organizing the place more and cleaning and such.
So between work, the gym, boys, and looking for a place. I have been busy.

I was going to do round 2 of the yogurt masks this week... but ALAS I didn't find the time. So I'll do it sometime next week probably. Really though, you should try it! Does this ----->
look like the face of someone who would lie to you? YES! And I'm not making that face - so really...try it.

OH! One thing I really dislike about Christmas... malls. Seriously, I think they're annoying on a regular day with all the people...But around Christmas - INSANITY!

I'm going to throw another couple of Christmas songs in here for ya. The first is a classic song but a different kind of cool version - All I Want For Christmas Is You ^.^
And the second, is one of my favorites... Merry Christmas Baby :3 (suffer through the first 30 or so seconds... GIVE IT A CHANCE [though you probably don't want to listen to the whole thing, it starts weird and ends weird and just...ya])

And I'll end here, because I actually don't have anything very useful to say haha.

Toodles for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I don't wake up easily. I sometimes listen to the alarm go off for an hour before I get up. Many times I have hit it so long that it just shuts off OR sometimes I accidentally dismiss the alarm instead of pressing snooze (crap).
