Surprise slow cooker!

 

Once outdoors, we ran around, dug in the dirt and rode in our spaceship.  Yes, even I rode in the spaceship and munchkin thought it was hilarious.  Munchkin loves being outdoors as much as I do.  When I tell him its time to go back inside, whining and yelling ensues.  

While we were playing outdoors, the boyfriend came by with with car filled with boxes and boxes of stuff from his school apartment, which is he almost officially moved out of.  Among all the junk stuff in his car he had a surprise for me – my very own, slightly used slow cooker.  Since the only time he really cooks is at my house anyway, it was the prefect addition to my already cluttered kitchen.  I had been thinking of buying one of these bad boys for a while though.  I’m super excited to use it.  

Now I’m relaxing in front of the TV watching Dancing With the Stars, my guilty pleasure and enjoying some water with Mio.  I’m a sucker for new products, especially when there put right in front of my face in the supermarket.  I picked it up for a try and its pretty good when you don’t want to drink plain water.  I added two squirt of the stuff to my Smart Water and while it doesn’t exactly taste like peach tea to me, its pretty darn good anyway.
