I'm a working girl again!

I am now the proud front counter girl at the most adorable little flower shop. Its a whole new world for me and its so fun to be around all the beautiful flowers and decorations all day. I answer phones, take orders, blow up balloons, put gift and snack baskets together, help make corsages, help put out the new items and decorate the shop, unload the shipments of plants, put them in baskets and then shine them up and put a bow on them when they need to be delivered, run to the wholesaler and pick up flowers....all sorts of fun stuff!The first week I started working was homecoming week, and we were SO busy making homecoming corsages...not the typical wrist corsage you might be thinking of....the traditional southern homecoming corsages are HUGE!!! I took a picture of one next to a wreath you would hang on your door so you can see just how huge they are! The bigger the longer the gaudier the better!!
But I did get to make my first normal corsage last week...isn't it cute....Also....I planted this :)

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup


4 cans chicken broth (14oz)
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 1/2 C. carrots, chopped

1 1/2 C. celery, chopped

1/2 med onion, chopped

16 oz. noodles, homestyle egg pasta (I will probably not put quite this much in next time)
1 1/2 lbs cooked, cooled, chopped chicken breast

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 12oz can evaporated milk, or regular milk will work just fine


Boil the broth, bouillon, carrots, celery and onion for 20 minutes, or until tender. Add noodles and boil for another 10 minutes. (Cook the noodles first while the vegetables are boiling, so the noodles don't soak up all of the broth) Then add chicken, cream of chicken soup and milk. Heat thoroughly. Add pepper to taste.

Mini Golfing in the Ghetto

A few weekends ago we went mini golfing with our friends Cameron and Hillary and their little boy Carson. It was a place kind of like Boondocks....but totally run down. SO..we pay for our tickets, Cameron and Hillary rode the go carts, and none of the workers were paying any attention, people were getting stuck on the track and had to sit there forever before they would finally run out and help get them turned around, and they all had the sleeves ripped off their hunting camo t-shirts with their hairy little shoulders poking out :)

Then we all went to the batting cages (where Joel and I got nasty little blood blisters) the guy running it was super nice but he didn't too have many teeth..and I could hardly understand a word he said....then it was mini golfing time but the little golf course was no where to be seen! Oh thats because you have to get in the car and drive 1/2 mile down the road to find it :)

We went in to get our clubs and we were nicely greeted by the back of a chubby little guys curley haired head for about thirty seconds or so till a commercial or something came on t.v. so he could take a little break and get us checked in :) The whole course was falling apart, all the little ponds looked like swamps....there were random holes in all the caves walls that you could see all the pumps and stuff inside...you can't really tell from the pictures we took how classy of a place it was....it was pretty funny! But we did eat some good BBQ on the way home!!
And here are our little blood blisters.....
