Here is a great recipe for leftover turkey. We are having it for dinner tonight because K.T. has been sick and this just seemed like a perfect cure!

What to do with Thanksgiving leftovers?!?!?!
I have been MIA from the blogging world, but something that will change in the near future. Be watching for some new and exciting things!

You had me at "9"
(and the 0210 after it didn't hurt either! ) ;)
Oh yeah. Back to West Beverly. I swore up and DOWN I would not get sucked in. "I will not watch 90210, I did that in COLLEGE" (yup, I'm THAT old!) But, DF Liz sent out an email reminding all of us to watch. I, being the somewhat single girl with a boyfriend who is married to Chrysler Financial, thought "well, I could watch once and see if it's worth it."
It's SOOOOOOOOOOO worth it. Cheesy? Hell yes. Dramatic? Mmm hmm. Guilty Pleasure? Already set on my Tivo. I haven't crossed the bridge on what I will do when Biggest Loser comes back on, but like I said, a bridge yet to cross.
And so now I'm on countdown to Mexico. Coronas, here I come! I can't wait to chill and read some good books and drink some foo foo drinks! I am taking my laptop. No, I won't be checking emails. I may blog, who knows. But, vacation to me means I get to scrapbook! So, I'll take my laptop and my hard drive and I HOPE (fingers crossed!) to have completed a book by the time we get home.
So, my guess is this may be all from me this week. I need to pack and work and try to squeeze in a pedicure!
See you all when we return. Adios!

A self-imposed
Period of rest. Yup, that's right. I'm sitting here with my feet up and I'm kicked back on my bed. "Chillin' like a Villain" as my friend Shannon might say! Tomorrow is my first race day in several months. Who am I kidding, I think we're going on 18 of them. I haven't done a Tri since my mightly Half Ironman last May. And then, the call:
"Hi Terri, it's Molly"
"Hey Molly, what's up?"
"Well, since I had my SECOND KID FOUR MONTHS AGO (keep reading, you'll see why this is in all caps...) I just haven't felt like myself. I've decided I should do a Triathlon"
Well, who am I to let a friend suffer alone. NO, I will step up to the plate and join you friend.
Which brings me to today. I'm a firm believer that one should rest, hydrate, and just chill the day before a race. If for no other reason than it gives me a great excuse to not fold that load of laundry or clean the bathroom today!
So, I'm gearing up....my bag is packed, the bike is on the car, the water bottles are in the fridge. There is something just so "Type A" about Triathlons.....and I LOVE it!
Happy Saturday to all. I will post some projects I'm working on next week.

A fun, new website
Hello to my 1 or 2 fans out there! How are you all? It is almost the weekend!!!! Wahoo. Although for those of us in the "D", it's also Dream Cruise weekend. SO not a fan. But what is the saying, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?" That's just what we're doing. It has been an exciting week. The new Stampin' Up catalog came out this week, chock full of new ideas for my fall stamping pleasure. Even better than that, my friend Shannon welcomed a new baby girl one week ago tomorrow: Lillian Grace, who joins big sister Laura Kathleen. Lily and Laura. How stinking cute is that? (I'll post a photo when I get one!)
I learned a fun new trick this week. It's called Google Reader. Do you, like me, love to read blogs? But, there are SO many good ones out there. How do I know when they've been updated? And how in the WORLD do I keep up with them?
Enter: (insert magic music here!)
GOOGLE READER!
So, Google Reader is designed to be a little micro-manager of the blogs you read. Normally, I hate micro-managing. But in this case, it's just divine! So I log into my Google Reader each and every day to see which of my blogs have been updated. You simply click "Add Subscription" in the left column, then you copy the web address and paste. Voila. Your first blog that you track.
SOOOOOO, what does that mean for you, other than a delightfully well managed way of reading your favorite blogs? (Have you seen )
It means now you can link MY blog and you'll know when I update it!
And there is your tip of the day, dear friends.
Oh, and if you decide to venture ANYWHERE near Woodward this weekend, the grill will be grillin' and the beers will be flowin'!

MIA...
Wow, I've been gone a long time. I'm sure none of you have missed reading about my adventures. I was away at Diabetes Camp for a week, and then K.T. and I traveled down to Atlanta to visit his parents. I always enjoy going to see them because they take such good care of us all. (*most especially little Lucy!*)
Today, I have a special guest coming to visit me. Molly Schneider! I'm so excited. She'll be here in less than 30 minutes. If you want to read more about Miss Molly, head on over to her blog.
Yes, I am a remedial student in her Shoebox class, so she has to come and rescue me. I'm drowning in digital supplies. (*sigh*)
I will be visiting my friend Liz this week in Cincy. It's always good to see her, not only because she makes me laugh like no one else, but because she usually sparks my creativity. And I have not had much of that as of late. Dunno if it's the nice weather or just feeling burned out at work, but I just CAN'T get myself to stamp OR scrapbook. I did make a page this week, but I am WAAAAAAAY behind. I think Kel and I are going here this weekend to play "catch up".
It's a beautiful, sunny Sunday. We have a graduation party today and I'm so looking forward to it. Hannah was born when I was a Freshman at Albion. I can't believe she is all growed up! Hannah, love you!!!!!
So enjoy the beautiful weather, and I'll see you all soon!

Today's Post: A Recipe~
Hello All from Metro Airport.
What to do when your flight is delayed and you have internet access with nothing better to do? Why blog of course!
So, rather than show you a bunch of photos of stuff I have worked on (*kinda boring lately*!) I will share a recipe. Now, this recipe comes with a story. What doesn't with me? (wink!) My friend Molly decided to start a recipe club. So we meet once a month, and the hostess gets to choose the "theme". So, a few weeks ago we went to Molly's and the theme was "Easy Appetizers". APPETIZERS???????? My favorite! I have a gagillion appetizer recipes! Which one to choose?!?!?! My friend Carey, also invited to the recipe club, doesn't cook....at all. Using her own words, "All my DOUBLE oven has seen is the occasional DiGiorno's pizza!" Can we swap ovens Carey? Anyhow, I digress.
So, I'm feeling kinda badly for Carey, so I throw out one of my recipes for her to use. And she did. And it was FAB!!! I couldn't stop eating it. So, here it is for your viewing pleasure! Hope you enjoy!
Sassy Chicken Enchilada Dip
INGREDIENTS
3 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
2 (8 ounce) packages light cream cheese, softened
4 green onions, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, light cream cheese, green onions, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, garlic, and cilantro. Season with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika. Cover, and chill at least 2 hours.
I would serve with tortilla chips, but you'll need a spoon or knife too because this stuff is THICK!
Now, back to the task at hand....when the hell will I ever get out of the airport?

Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all of my friends who are mothers! I hope you have a wonderful day!
We are making brunch for my mother this morning. (Thank goodness the culinary goddess, aka Katie, is in town!) We're going to give oranges a whirl in my new juicer for fresh squeezed orange juice! (and champagne, of course!)
Here is a little something I am using for my table centerpiece. I think it is so cool!
Can you see how versatile this could be: baby showers, wedding showers, Mothers Day, etc? And since it's made of paper, it will always be alive, unlike regular flowers!
I'm thinking I may teach a class on this. If you're interested, please leave a comment on my blog and I can either put one together online or at my house!
Have a wonderful Sunday.
