Pride may be a sin, but I cooked a great dinner this weekend and I feel like bragging about it. Josh and I had the house to ourselves and we spent all weekend doing exactly what we wanted (for Josh this was watching 24, for me it was cooking). I made Sopa Tlalpena--even the name impresses you, doesn't it? It's basically tortilla soup, but I made it from scratch--stock and everything! I know my dear husband would eat anything I set in front of him, even if it was spaghetti noodles covered in pancake syrup, but this was good. But wait, there's more! For dessert I made a lemon cheesecake with a cherry fruit topping, and you couldn't even tell it was low-fat. You can trust me on that; my mother raised me right--no cool whip!
Ok, now I'm starting to feel bad--this is getting to be way to much of a self-love-fest. Ok, one more thing...I won a radio prize today. Can you unscramble this celebrity anagram?
"Here Silly Maniac"
I can! I won a gift card to Captain D's (enjoy, Josh, my seafood loving husband) and one to the Libscomb Univ. bookstore. I checked out their website, and no, I will not be forced to spend it on textbooks and "Go Lipscomb" clothing. They have other books as well.
Oh yes, Josh and I are going camping on labor day weekend. This is exciting for several reasons, which I will now list out for you:
1) We have never been camping with each other.
2) This is the first time we've gone on vacation since our honeymoon.
3) We get to use one of our wedding presents for the first time (a fabulous picnic grill from Aunt Lorri and Uncle Jody--but our apartment complex wouldn't let us use it)
4) We are going to Kentucky, and I have never been to Kentucky.
5) Josh is going to teach me how to kayak.
6) We are going to use the new tent Josh got for his birthday.
I'm making Josh exercise with me every night so I can get in shape for all the rugged outdoor activities I will be partaking in. I'm just trying to figure out how to go camping and wear cute outfits at the same time. I mean, I am going to be taking pictures--I can't just wear any old t-shirt and shorts, now can I?
Ok, I think I've talked about myself enough for now! So, if you will excuse me, I have to go powder my nose.

You won a gift card to the Lipscomb Univ. bookstore for guessing Shirley MacLaine's name on the radio? There's something funny about that (given the school's Christian affiliation). Nevertheless, congratulations! I'm proud of you, too!
By the way, it sounds like I need to get some recipes from you (or convince you to give me cooking lessons...or both). I could use the "wife points"...although I think I earned a few for giving Taras the new "John Adams" miniseries on DVD for our anniversary, then watching it for 8+ hours while on vacation in FL! Oh, the things we do for our men!
(P.S. I did enjoy the miniseries, and it rained for three whole days in the "Sunshine State" anyway.)
