Mix Tape Monday - Two

Yes, I am well aware that today's Mix Tape Monday post is two days late, so sue me.

Entertaining facts about this cd

1. I actually had to Google two of these songs to figure out what they were and who the artist was.  I think that means I'm either old or I need to listen to this cd more.

Songs on cd Numero Dos:

1. Kelly Clarkson - Behind Those Hazel Eyes
2. Foo Fighters - Best of You
3. Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds
4. Ryan Cabrera - Shine On
5. Relient K - Who I Am Hates Who I've Been
6. All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret

8. Fallout Boy - Sophmore Slump or Comeback of the Year
9. The Click Five - Just the Girl

And now you can laugh hysterically while thinking about me jamming out to this cd all the way to Pittsburg this past weekend!

Recipies to Try...

I have been looking for some new ideas for dinner recipies and things to ship for Chris and for Baking Gals.  So far, I've got a list of 6 must try recipies - anyone want to try them out with me?

1. Monster Magic Cookie Bars - Courtesy of Kate's Recipe Box
2. Swiss Chard and Sweet Potato Gratin - Courtesy of Smitten Kitchen
3.  Mexican Rice - from Silver Pencils
4. Chocolate Granola Bars - from Cookies & Cups
5. Nutty Cocoa Cookies - via That Wife
6. Troegs Triple Mango IPA (beer recipies count, right!?:) - from Beer Buzz

And based on my cooking/baking skills, my kitchen will look like this afterwards:

 Good thing I don't mind doing dishes, huh?!

Mix Tape Monday - One

HAPPY MONDAY

Thanks to cleaning out two Rubbermaid bins over the weekend, I now have a new collection of cd's in my car! The beauty of my 6-cd changer in the Acura is that I can easily swap new cds in and out depending on my mood, the weather, you know.  Not that the Jeep can't do the same thing, but the Jeep's 10-cd changer is in the way back - like, Jessica go climb over the center console, back row, and into the trunk to change the damn Pearl Jam cd.  No thank you.

So - thanks to the awesome cds I found, we're going to have Mix Tape Monday for about the next 11 weeks. Because I found 11 cds of all kinds of genres, from high school track through senior year of college! I know you're excited, because I was excited as all heck jamming out yesterday!
