I’m joining Lindsey at Pleated Poppy again this time for WIWW!

This is my 2nd week that I’m linking up with Lindsey at the Pleatedpoppy for “What I Wore Wednesday”.  It’s so much fun to see what other women are wearing and getting inspiration for myself, to dress better(it’s fun being a girl:-)..I’m usually a shirt and sweatpants and flip flops kind of girl thank God for my husband whose been encouraging me to “dress appropriately” ( sometimes I still wear flip flops even if it’s snowing outside!hehe.)  The weather here in Washington (last week) was really nice so I was able to wear my flipflops, I’m a big fan of sandals/flipflops! I cannot wait for summer:)

Saturday afternoon, it rained so I had to wear my boots!

yellow polo shirt and jeans = abercrombie, flipflops= tory, bad=guess (gift from Sis IL)

Today I’m linking up with Laura over at Heavenly Homemakers for what she calls “gratituesday”.  You should link up with her if you are grateful for something today (and everyday).

This week I’m grateful that:

I’m grateful that the Lord has given me and my Hubby an opportunity to help someone this week and be a blessing.

I’m grateful that I have a loving husband.  He is so kind and he just has all kinds of patience for me!  There were times this week when I just wanted to not do anything, times when you want to cry but you don’t know why you want to cry (with all the “end of the world news, tornado, missing family and friends, hormones = too much for me).  You know that you need to do something but you just “avoid” doing it.  Yeah, I’ve been having those days lately.  But thank God for my husband because he’s quick to remind me that God is in control!

I’m grateful that for a couple of days the weather here in Washington was sunny and that I’m able to wear my flipflops for 3 days in a row(last week!!)..Now it’s just typical grey, but I’m Ok with that:)

Thankful for coupons! hehe, since I started watching TLCs extreme couponing, I started doing it myself but not the “extreme way ” like what you see in the show.  I was so happy that I got this Hershey’s candy for just 1$ when the original price was 3 $..2 $ saved thanks to coupons:) “wooohoo!! LOL! makes me laugh.. I’m starting to “collect” chocolates and candies because before the year ends, I’ll be visiting PI and I have lots of little cousins who will be so happy to get these little goodies that I’ve started to buy for them.

I’m grateful for moments like these:

My Sis in law Julia invited us over at her place today!  We had pizza and a yummy dessert, krispy kreme donuts and Ben n Jerry’s Ice cream flavored Red Velvet Cake..So good:) I’ve never had it before and I really liked it (I think I like anything that is red velvet flavored) I’m so going to get it tomorrow..Julia also made a very yummy coffee latte!  Thanks Julia:) We also brought Riley with us because they miss each other and they are BFFs!hehe…fun time with SIL..

We watched the movie fast five, 2 words “PAUL WALKER”… you’re so hot!hahaha…I enjoyed the movie, although there were lots of “yeah right” moments!  Afterwards, Hubby and I had dinner at a japanese restaurant and had sushi:)

Last Friday night we watched the musical show Jesus Christ Superstar with my In laws. The musical was just OK for me, I don’t think I will watch it again.  Although I enjoyed some of the songs especially Mary Magdalene’s part (the singer reminds me of Filipina singer “Charice”, petite but she can really sing! Some of the scenes of the play was awkward, like there’s a part where Mary and Jesus kissed and clearly projecting that they are romantically involved! WTH…  My husband said don’t take it seriously, but still don’t the people behind the show READ THE BIBLE? hehe. Guess I expected a lot from this production. Before the show we had dinner at La Costa (mexican resto) and I ordered the same dish again (for the nth time) Carne Asada.  The steak was so good (loved the charcoal flavor of it).  Here’s some of the pics Hubby took!

I wanted to prepare a yummy dinner for my hardworking hubby, so I ended up making an Ina Garten recipe again.  Her recipes are proven already, so I know it’s gonna be great (that’s my opinion).  I don’t think I’ve prepared one of her recipes and ended up disappointed.  She’s one of my fave food network chefs:)  You can get all of the recipes on the food network if you’re ever up for making a delicious and fast meal!

My sis in law gave us a Saltys gift card last month for our anniversary.  The weather was so nice and perfect today that we wanted to eat somewhere in Seattle and decided this was the right time to use the gift!  Thanks Julia for the gift, we really had a great time. We love Seattle, especially if the sun is out.  It’s been a while since I’ve had my sandals on, feels so good!

We had this bbq earlier this month and I’ve been slacking with my foodie blog, so  I honestly forgot already what kind of cut this meat is (maybe short ribs).  All I remember is that I marinated the meat with teriyaki sauce then on to the grill!
