Imposter

I'm a liar. I'm a fake, a fraud. I'm not anything like how I say I am or how I pretend to be. I am not a strong person. I was not built to be the rock. I crumble under the pressure. I fall apart when it comes time to care for me. I have nothing left for myself. I have a promise to keep and I will not fail, but in the end I may not be here anymore. The me that makes me, me, may just possibly be too far gone by then. God please give me the strength and courage, please give me the right words to say and the comfort of your embrace through my touch. Amen.

Counting down the days....

Two more days until I go have my tests done. I'm nervous but ready to get it over with. I'm scared because as much as I DO NOT want it to be something, I want it to be something that they can fix. I don't want to go in and they say oh its nothing and I be left with pain. So I want the middle. I want them to say well its this but its a super easy fix no big deal. I just want answers and to be able to relax. Keep those prayers coming please.

My BFF Coco took this. I LOVE it. She is Amazing!!

Lunch Date

I've been dealing with a lot of stress regarding my health lately. I don't want to elaborate on anything until I know something so if you could just keep me in your prayers, I would really appreciate it! I should have some answers in a couple of weeks. My bestie took me out for a distressing lunch date last week. It was very yummy. She got the veggie fajitas and I got a chicken chili relleno. Delicious! She always knows the way to my heart is through food.....of course that just means she is contributing to clogging my arteries and expanding my waistline so I'm not sure how much that says about our relationship...er...friendship. We are at that awkward stage of the relationship, you know the one where she likes me, I like her, shes married, I'm married. Oh and neither one of us bat for the other team or would it be the same team? So in other words we are just really good friends. :) Our husbands are best friends too but not as good or close of friends as us....or at least I hope.  That would be too strange.
Blast from the past!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

They are having the celebration go through today so hurry on over there and tell them your favorite Cat in the Hat book and get a cupcake! They are delicious!

Dramatic......ME????.....Nah

The besties son had to have a sedated MRI last week. I went to support and entertain her. We won't find the results out until next week so until then we will just continue to pray that they have found some answers and that it is not of a serious nature. For now I leave you with my theatrics. ::SMILE::

Pesto Chicken Stuffed Shells

Pesto Chicken Stuffed Shells

12-16 jumbo pasta shells
water for boiling pasta
4oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese + 1/4 cup for topping
3 tablespoons prepared pesto (homemade or store bought)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to tasteIn a large pot over high heat, boil water and prepare pasta shells as directed on package. Cook pasta shells only until al dente. The pasta will finish cooking when the dish is baked. Drain the pasta shells and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, except the 1/4 cup of cheese for the topping. Fill the pasta shells with the filling and place in a baking dish.  Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese over filled shells. 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake shells uncovered for 30 minutes or until shells are bubbling hot and cheese melts.


YumYum! I really liked these but for our taste next time I won't put as much pesto as it calls for. I knew not to but did it anyways. I always lower the amount of seasonings when I cook because of my picky eaters.
