Lying Smile

The angry glimmer in you eye
Proves how much you hate me,
The lies spilling out your lips
Hide it so no one can see,
The smile on your face
Is deceitful in every way,
You think I'm not listening
To the hurtful words you say,
I've heard them all
But you repeat them so often,
Every time you speak
Your burying me in my coffin,
With every word
The farther I fall into darkness,
And with every lie
You force me into happiness,
Our small family
Has always been a lie,
You're constantly accusing me
Of numerous ways I defy,
How can I follow
You impossible demands,
You've locked me in this house
And bound my hands,
Everyone can see
Through your stained smile,
Strangers can see
The lies after a while,
You've lied to everyone
But can't lie to me anymore,
You've taken our time and energy
But what possibly for,
What could possibly make
This all worth while,
The money, the status
Nothings worth enduring your fake smile.

Marriage Survival...

I was reading an article in Readers Digest last night and couldn't help criticize what they said in the article. It was talking about ways to predict if your marriage will end in divorce or survive. Now, marriage is suppose to be about love and your ever after. But when they say that you will either divorce or survive your marriage... That just sounds horrible. To survive something entails that you have to go through something difficult, bad, or impossible. It makes marriage sound impossible and that there is no hope for any marriage. I'm getting married next year and I have been with my fiance for 6 years now. A relationship can be difficult at times and raising children together may be impossible. But I still don't think that anyone should view marriage this way. It's sad to think of making it through your marriage with a survival instinct.

Tacalatas

Its funny and a mouth full! I came up with this recipe years ago and I still love it. It's my favorite. You can take any regular enchalada recipe and make these few tweaks to create a Tacalata dish. All you will add or be sure you use in the recipe is sour cream, olives, corn, lime juice sqeezed onto the taco, and rice pilaf from rice-a-roni. Everything else you add should be in any enchalada recipe. When you form the actual enchalada, you don't roll it... You place it in the pan like a taco. This makes the top crunchy when you bake it. The last thing you should put on before baking is the cheese... The last thing I like to put on after baking is the sour cream. I don't know why but I like my sour cream cold. Try it, I hope you like it! The rice-a-roni adds a great taste to it especially with the lime.

New Recipe!

So the other day I was watching Barefoot Contessa on Food Network. She was making a Breakfast Bread Pudding (similar to french toast). I tried the recipe and it was really good but I did tweak it a little bit. I just wanted to share the recipe. Ingredients: 5 eggs, 2 extra yolk, 2 1/2 cup 1/2 and 1/2 (I used regular milk but for a better taste, use the 1/2 and 1/2), 1/3 cup honey, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 teaspoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon salt and a loaf of bread (I used french which was good but sour dough would be better). I added cinnamon and sugar to the custard and on top before I baked it.
Mix everything together except for the bread of course! Then place the slices of bread in a sprayed non-stick pan, layering them on top of eachother. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the slices with generousity! If you are adding the cinnamon. Pour the custard over the slices and you can sprinkle some more cinnamon if you'd like. Press the bread down into the custard to absorb the liquid.
Bake for 45-60 min in oven 350 degrees. Then Eat after it has cooled a little!
ENJOY!

This Has To Be Connected

I think it's really strange that there are so many big earthquakes happening around the world back to back and suddenly there are two tornados in two cities that never get tornados. All this bad weather and the earthquakes are making me a little nervous. Should we all be leaving California for a little bit? Well I'm definitely going out of town when December 21, 2012 rolls around, but it sounds like it might be coming a little early.

Week 1 of Counting Calories

So I've made it my first week of counting calories. I've lost 9 lbs. already, I can't notice it really but hopefully I will soon. Since I lost that amount already my fiance wants to join me. He can eat more calories than I can. He gets 1575 and I only get 1200. But I am happy with what I can eat. I can change meals around to where every now and then... I can have those fast foods that I like, not all of them but some of them. If the calories are high in that one meal I really want, I can eat something earlier or later with lower calories. This way, I'm not depriving myself completely. If I need a little chocolate, I still eat my Almond Snickers, with 280 calories. But I don't go over my calorie intake. If I do a little, it's okay, because what I consume in a day now if what I use to consume in one meal!
