Cleaning, pancakes and movies...oh and tornados!

Saturday was my cleaning day, as usual. R was working and I got the house all clean!

In case you didn't know...I'm a self confessed neat freak. So much so that sometimes I think I have a small ocd about it. Oh well, better clean that not, right?!

Not necessarily...sometimes I just can't relax until it's all done and I just despise that about myself!

After cleaning, I made a Dutch Apple Pancake for breakfast/lunch. Oh it is so good! If you haven't had one...you should try making it! They are just my favorite! You can go to THIS past post and get the recipe, if you'd like...mmm!



This is just right before it goes in the oven. Oh it's so good! I think I'll have some leftovers for breakfast this morning!

This is right after it comes out of the oven. Just look at the appley deliscousness!

Perfection!

I like to sprinkle on a little powdered sugar...for some reason syrup on apples just doesn't sound very good to me! :-)

After R got home from work, we went on a date :-). We went to the movies! And for your blogging pleasure, we took some pics in the car! ha! (I know, we're silly!)

Me...striking a pose...kind of! We went to see The Strangers and I just about wet my pants in that movie! I don't know about you, but scary movies scare me whether they are bad or super good! I had my ears plugged for about half of the movie. I also had my eyes closed for a good portion of it. My ears and fingers hurt from clenching. It was crazy! Pretty good movie though! I always get scared during scary movies. I think someone is going to come crawling through the dark aisles and kill us or hurt us! ha!

I went to bed last night and ended up having a horrible dream, of which I think stemmed from the beginning of the movie. I won't go into detail here...just in case you haven't seen it and don't want it ruined. I woke up with tears welled in my eyes. It was just a horrible dream and so real!

Once we got home and got dinner, there was a Tornado Warning...yes WARNING! There was one spotted in Mundelein and headed towards Libertyville and North Chicago. I was kind of freaked out, considering all the tornados that we've had in this country recently and all the damage that they have caused. Of course, we're on the third floor at the apartments too! It passed by, but we had more storms throughout the night. I was on the phone with my mom constantly making sure she was okay too! My dad and niece were at Chucky Cheese's and they made all the patrons get into a room and down on the floor! Crazy!

I wish we had a farm...

...so that we could adopt all the dogs in a shelter. Seriously, it breaks my heart to even think of all the dogs sitting in a shelter. I hate watching that show on Animal Planet where they find dogs and other animals that have been abused or malnourished or whatever else. Uh, I just want to beat the people up that do it to these poor animals.

If you can't tell, I'm a lover of animals, dogs in particular. It would be my DREAM to open up an animal shelter. Of course, the chances of doing that are hard, believe me, I've looked into it! You have to get SO many donations and sponsors and all that, that I'm sure would such a fight to even start. But I can dream, can't I?!

Just thought I'd share one of my hopes and dreams with you all!

I dream of weddings

post edit: see I told you Blogger is making me mad...it happened again, my formatting isn't working now! Boo!!!

I know I haven't mentioned it in this here bloggy, but I've been having random dreams about OUR WEDDING. Each time I have one, they haven't been very pleasant. Don't get your undies in a bundy...they haven't been horrible either. Each dream is usually a different wedding (different wedding details), but the same scenario plays out in it's unique kind of way. The wedding always seems to be taking place earlier than it is supposed to. Which means we are NEVER prepared. In each dream I am usually running around in a panic because I didn't really know that the wedding was happening that early. I, of course, am dressed in my dress and my hair is done, but we are missing SO many details.

In the dream I had this morning (all while hitting the snooze button multiple times...yes, the dream kept happening in between that), my hair looked horrible, it was falling down, we didn't have wedding bands, I had NO ride to the ceremony and everyone else had left with out me. Oh it was horrible!!!

I'm sure this is all just planning worries and making sure we have it all done. And don't get me wrong, I am in NO WAY worried about anything at all about the wedding. It must just be my psyche playing games with my head while I'm sleeping! I just thought I'd share...and I wish they would stop happening...it's getting kind of annoying! :-)
