7 Quick Takes Friday Volume 18

It's Friday! Better late than never!

So I took a  "Break" last week only because my computer decided it was going to go all crazy and get a virus and well ended up litterally at the Computer hospital after a million dollars later it is now fixed and ready to conquer the world. That was painful considering I had to share my husbands computer and use my kindle more than I would have liked but all is well now :)

Along with my computer going on the fritz my husbands car paid it's last toll and went to the Car lot in the sky. After 9 years of companionship it decided to go meet it's maker and well ended it's days at the Mazda lot where it came from. After a week of driving my husband around while the car was looked at and finally pronounced dead we finally got a new car and couldn't be more excited. We were a little cranky about taking on a car payment but alas it was much needed and hopefully this one will be as loving as it's predecessor.

This week my husband and I took the ultimate step in simplifying our lives and decided to get rid of our cable tv. We have decided to just stick to Netflix which we can view using our Blue Ray player and I have to say so far so good! We unfortunately live too far from the "local TV Stations" and so it's hard to pick up local channels using one of those converter boxes so we will have to get news from the internet and Face book. Which may not be a terrible thing. The kids haven't even asked for it and have been enjoying of our Tom and Jerry collection and have even taken an affinity to Curious George cartoons,it's nice to have that control over what they watch :)

If you're looking for a neat and different Crock pot recipe,check out my "Crock pot Cuban Fricase de Pollo" I posted. I know Crock pot cooking can get blah after a while so this recipe is sure to rub your family's tummy the right way and give you a quick easy recipe :)

The Lo has been asking for a desk to do his "paper work on" not sure what kind of paperwork he wants to work on but my dad the ever spoiling grandfather decided to get him said desk. Little Lo was very excited but oh boy did it come in a million pieces.

Hub and I worked hard on it(more hub than I )

 But the Lo was very pleased with the results..check him out working on his "important paperwork"
