Hubbs birthday is this week, today (July 17th) to be exact, so, we have been celebrating since Monday. It’s kind of tradition for him to get birthday weeks instead of days… so spoiled! 
Monday started with the “usual” breakfast (in bed, of course!) eggs, sausage, bacon, and pancakes.
Dinner was Meatloaf, home-made onion rings, and sweet corn… with Whiskey Sours!! (Hubbs new favorite, although he says he feels girlie drinking them) The onion rings were super difficult, because I don’t actually have a fryer, but I made it work and they tasted great!!
Tuesday was Cinnamon Rolls! They were oh, so delicious and way too much fun to make. All the rolling was hard work, but Nayana & I loved spreading on the sugar and toppings!
Halfway through, Hubbs came down to demand protein with his breakfast, so Nayana was put on icing duty while I made the Birthday Boy more sausage and eggs.
Everything turned out great, but next time I make the cinnamon rolls (and that will be SOON) I definitely only need half of the batch… soo many leftovers!
Tuesday night I was off the hook, because we went out to eat with Angat’s parents… and Wednesday morning, because Hubbs had class. But I made up for it on Wednesday night by making Chicken Cordon Bleu, Twice Baked Potatoes, and corn. It all tasted good, but took FOREVER to make, so I doubt it will happen that often!
And for dessert I made applesauce in the slow cooker. It was the easiest/tastiest applesauce you’ll EVER find!!
It’s just apples, water, sugar, & cinnamon for 4 hours. Deepu especially enjoyed making a mess with his!
Thursday the true chef in me came out… I was cooking all damn day! lol For breakfast I made Strawberry-Banana Muffins and Eggies McKarin. Eggies McKarin is what I’ve called my mom’s Eggs Benedict for as long as I can remember. She makes it every Christmas and Angat thinks it’s the BEST EVER, so I had to make it sometime this week. And I made the muffins just because the recipe looked/sounded so good (and it was!)
For Thursday night, I wanted to make grilled chicken kabobs, which takes a little prep work! Nayana was more then willing to be my kitchen helper, so we got to work as soon as we finished breakfast.
We had to marinate the chicken and onions all day before we could stab (spear?) everything onto our wooden skewers. I decided to go with the grilling theme and make Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus to go along. Here was dinner pre-grill…. 
While I was putting the kabobs together I almost burned the patio down, so I decided to let hubbs do the actual grilling. And he did an excellent job… besides losing one bacon wrapped asparagus. 
Today is hubbs actual birthday, but I didn’t have to make breakfast because he had class. For dinner we are going over to his parents to have Indian food and cut the cake. Then tomorrow morning I’m off with the boys (Angat & his dad) to the California-Nevada border. Angat just has to have dice if he is gambling, so the casinos around here won’t cut it. LOL Plus I know they love all the free alcohol!
So, yea, it’s been a long week… and it’s definitely NOT over! I’m not sure how much more of all this spoiling I can do << trust me, you’ve only heard 1/2 of it 
>> Can’t wait until it’s my turn, how long until August 31st??

When I woke up this morning I was quite surprised to see my husband, lying in bed next to me. You see, he usually leaves for work at 5 am… much earlier then I open my pretty little eyes! But today (for some reason) he decided not to go. Nayana and Jasdeep were more then happy to have both parents home to boss around all day… I, however, was thinking about the plans I had made with @oHHwowzers floating out the window. I swear, when home and awake, my husband demands more attention then both kids.
The kids and I ate breakfast, bacon and eggies with gross amounts of ketchup, before dragging Angat out of bed. After a few minutes of wrestling around, he was nice enough to get the kids ready so I could go play on Twitter. #liesboystell #liesgirlstell & #3wordsaftersex are all too funny (and addicting!)
We decided to bring the kids to one of the Regional Parks in the area and boy, did they love it. The playground was beyond amazing and even I can’t wait to go back. Hopefully we will soon, because I forgot the camera today and the kids were so darn cute. It is called Prado Regional Park in Chino, California… if you live anywhere near the area go check it out, you won’t regret it!
Then, after naps and a quick grocery trip, Nayana and I decided to get our Top Chef on and make some yummy deliciousness. For dinner, homemade chicken noodle soup (just like mom’s!) For dessert, frosted brownies. ~~And no, I don’t think it’s too much to frost brownies… I would probably frost way more stuff if I wasn’t worried about being ostracized by society. 
~~
When the kids went to bed I had an evening cocktail (Raspberry Smirnoff Ice LOL) and finished watching the Cleveland/Orlando basketball game. Cleveland won… which to me just seems like delaying the inevitable. @DwightHoward and the Magic are going to win the next game at home and get a shot at the championship. To be honest, that is perfectly fine with me, really, I just want anyone but the Lakers to win! #KobeStinks
Hope everyone has a nice and relaxing weekend!
And if you are bored or want something pretty to look at check out these two websites. They have the most amazing photographs… I could look through for hours!

I don’t even know where to start. I know I have been neglecting the blog super bad- and trust me I’m crazier for it- but I swear it isn’t my fault. It’s the hubbs. This dislocated elbow thing has completely thrown us of track.
He hasn’t been to work in a month and we have been spending pretty much 24/7 together. Now, before kids and all that we did something like this. Twice actually, we stayed in hotels for over a month just hanging out together. We both loved it back then because all we did was smoke, drink, have sex, and eat. No jobs, no worries… now things are a little different. No hotel means no maids and I think we’ve established that I am not one that likes to clean. As a joke (I think) hubbs told me he was going to bring me to marriage counseling for cleaning. LOL I have been being good though, we’ll see if it lasts.
We also have kids now, so I have to be responsible and make sure they stay alive and all that. Angat can still get as drunk as he wants, but someone has to be designated driver and parent! But I do feel bad for him… he can’t move his arm to do normal things like feed/bathe himself, so sports are pretty much out of the question. And he is a BIG sports guy. But he refuses to see how much better it has gotten in the week since they took off the cast and only sees that he can’t do a curl.
Plus, all he does is complain, be mean to me because I have an arm, stay up at night playing PS3, and drink with his dad. It is getting old fast. Lucky for him (and maybe surprisingly to you) I am a very empathic person… so I know he is only acting like this because he is worried about his arm. As soon as it really starts to get better I am sure he will too.
So, hopefully I can find more time to blog, I love it so much! Plus, I think I get kinda mean if I can’t let it out a little. HA The main problem is that all the weights are in the computer room now instead of toys, so the kids ca’n't go in. I’m moving either the computer or the weights… soon!

First of all, Happy Late Valentine’s Day!! I hope everyone had lots of fun and ate lots of chocolate. I went to the casino with hubbs and another couple. We all lost but I had two lemon drops and that’s enough to make me not care. Also, he bought me an MP3 or 4 or 27 or something, which was very nice of him….. But, he also said- “You can use it when you clean” ha.ha.ha Nice try buddy!
The house is coming along great. We put in the wood floors and we should be switching in the new carpet soon. All the painting is done and I love (most) of it. And, we finished putting in the new sinks, lights, mirrors, and all that in the bathrooms.
Oh yea, I wanted to tell everyone about the All Posters affiliate thingy that I have up. I don’t recommend it for making money, but I do like it for the pictures. You can use any of their posters and not have to worry about stepping on anyones copyright. I use it for Squidoo more then over here, but it is still kinda cool, so I thought I would share.
Here is an example LOL
I can’t believe I almost forgot… my in laws were over here today, talking about Jasdeep and his first birthday. I said it was up to them if they wanted to throw a big party, like they did for Nayana, or not. I mean, it is there money, of course they should decide. Nayana’s birthday was crazy though- they rented a restaurant, had an open bar, a photographer, decorator, videographer, DJ and dance floor, and enough food to feed all of India. (These are the same people that didn’t come to my wedding, by the way.) SO, anyway, after I said I didn’t care and he wouldn’t remember it, my mother in law says “exactly, I think we should throw Nayana another big party instead.” Whoa… I said I didn’t care if they gave him a huge party, not that she should have another! I don’t want my mother in law to favor Nayana ALL the time SO much. It is starting to get annoying. She only wants to watch Nayana or bring her shopping or out to eat. I get that Nayana is cool and fun and … actually talks, but she could still try and spend a little time with Deepu. He is her only grandson! Or maybe I am just way to sensitive LOL
Hope everyone has a great week!!

OK, so we are in the process of packing, moving, unpacking, remodeling, and living… and I am actually not loosing it too bad. Right now I am at the old place getting the last of the stuff. Well, actually the boys are getting the stuff and I am supposed to be paying the bills. hehe We have almost everything over at the new place, but none of it is put away.
Well, ok, here is what happened… for Christmas we went to see my family in Santa Maria and then came back to celebrate here. At this point we still weren’t sure when the house was going to be ready, so Angat and his family decided to plan a trip to Vegas for New Years. We dropped Nayana off with my mom, but brought Jasdeep because it was going to be 4 days. Vegas was fun… I met my new best friend China (I’ll bet you can guess her line of work), I was invited by some guy to go smoke weed outside the Sahara and offered $5000 by another to do, well I didn’t ask for any details. Then the stupid Vikings lost and I got to see my husband cry over something lamer then me with country songs. Overall, crazy weekend!
As soon as we got back from Vegas we were met by my mom and Nayana and our new house! We immediately started moving stuff in and making plans to change things. I totally adore the place and the first night we were there Nayana said “I love my new house” So cute!! I took before pictures and as soon as we get the Internet over there I will post them up. We already got a new water heater, a new kitchen sink and faucet thingy, and a new stove.
Hopefully we will get all hooked up soon because I really miss you guys!! It is getting serious…
