Tuesday! Dancing, nature and heavy metal at 11:06 PM Oh man do i have to wake up early on Tuesday. Today's post comes a bit early so i can get to bed and HOPEFULLY be able to wake up in enough time to get the girl child and myself ready to bike downtown for a meeting at 8am. Now I know 8am may not seem early to some of you morning folk out there but for me 8am is the equivalent to torture. But, if i am going to return to the working world soon i have to reprogram myself to getting up a bit earlier. Oh how i will miss my extra couple hours of sleep, but perhaps waking the child this early will persuade her to go to bed at a decent hour for once. Yesterday i did get to see the horse and hitch parade which was quite fun except for one part, there wasn't nearly enough candy. My poor tot was not able to beat any of the bigger kids to any candy and i could see her spirits dwindling with each miss. Of course i always keep a secret stash so i was able to give her a bit when we got home but...still. Also , whoever was handing out energy shots, just don't. A few kids got a hold of them before there parents and i just KNOW there were some angry parents about 45 minutes later. Otherwise the event was a hit and the horses were absolutely beautiful. i especially loved the one with spots and the itty bitty pony pulling a wagon. Well, enjoy the days events folks! Be safe and have fun! 10:00 am PRCA Contestants & Families Breakfast Ogden Pioneer Stadium 9:00 am “Slack” Rodeo Timed Event Competition Ogden Pioneer Stadium 7:00 pm Downtown Hoedown - Kick off Party Ogden Marriot Hotel 8:30am – 3:30pm Wild Things - From forests to fields the Ogden Nature Center is teeming with life.

Unleash your inner metal head and rock out ! also yes, i did see Santa riding down the street on a mountain bike haha Besides chasing my toddler, wearing shiny pants and blogging i love to cook. I am saving up to go to the Weber tech culinary school just so i can learn how to make more food to eat. I am a foodie hence my love of yelp and i don't think my family has any complaints. I try and make sure i make a good home cooked meal several days out of the week and i love to experiment. i have a complete inability to follow recipes and i love to substitute and make it my own. Last night i forgot to pull out the chicken breast from the freezer so i had to come up with a plan b for my chicken Parmesan. I had some eggplant that needed to be cooked and i really wanted to make Israeli couscous so i thought id play with an old eggplant parmeseana recipe i knew. Earlier in the week i got a bunch of tomatoes from a great produce sale and made some marinara sauce with yellow peppers and tons of garlic. I grilled the eggplant with onions and added the marinara sauce and put it on top of the Israeli couscous with some fresh Parmesan cheese. It was frigging delicious, i wish i had leftovers but ALAS with a good meal there are often no leftovers. Here are some pics and i would love to hear about and try out your favorite homemade recipes.

Are you ready to rock? at 10:32 PM--OK everyone get ready because this Tuesday is all about rockin' out. after a long day of working, taking care of the kids and man-children and generally keeping the universe from falling apart us women need some pampering. no offense guys but this event is all about us and you are NOT invited. Salon nouveau is hosting a girls night out at their salon on historic 25th street. The theme is Blow Dry Boot Camp, so come and get styling tips, try out their Bumble and Bumble product line, enter the raffle for free product and services, enjoy a refreshment and meet the stylists! After a bit of pampering its time to get rowdy. Head over to Teazers for Free Texas Hold-em and a few drinks. enter a tournament and maybe you will win a prize! Bambling not your thing but feeling a bit brave from a few drinks? It's time to head over to Brewskis for HEAVY METAL KARAOKE! Every Tuesday at Brewskis unleash your inner metal head and rock out to heavy metal karaoke! remember such classics as 'you give love bad name' Bon Jovi and 'run to the hills' by Iron Maiden? Everyone fantasizes about being a rock star but not all of us are graced with giant hair and legs tiny enough to accommodate leather pants so take this opportunity to live the dream and be a rock star for about 3 minutes. Alright i know y'all have to work tomorrow so try not to be too much of a rock star but if you get deep into character and find yourself a little to sloshed to drive remember 2-5 drive!
