Update

It's been a while since I wrote- Sorry! School has taken over my life. So here is your basic update:

1) Be Myself: Meh- ok. I had mopey day last week where I had some wrong-headed thoughts, but was able to get myself out of it, especially with the help of my friends.
2) CCs: not much to report.
3) Back in Shape: The game's going well! We may win!
4) Mass: Not this week.
5) Cookbooks: Woot! Superboooowl! My new recipe this week for was said event. I made "Saucy Turkey Meatballs" from Taste of Home's Light & Tasty Annual Recipes 2003. So.... I like them, but they might not be for everyone. They kinda tasted like my mom's meatloaf, but a bit lighter.
Here's the recipe:
Saucy Turkey Meatballs
1 c. old fashioned oats
3/4 c. fat-free evaporated milk
1 medium, onion chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
11/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey
Sauce:
2 c. ketchup
1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. chopped onion
2 Tbsp. liquid smoke
1/2 tsp. garlic salt

In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1" balls. Place in a baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Combine the sauce ingredients; pour over meatballs. Bake 30-35 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink.
6) Meditation: Sigh... I really should start working on this...
7) Praying: I've been slacking a little bit on this- I generally pray at night before I go to bed, but my brain's been kind-of go-go-going, making it difficult to concentrate. I'll try being better about that.
8) Organization: Well, the bad part is that I had my first moment this year of not being able to find something. It actually was where I expected it to be- it just had some papers laying on top of it, hiding it. I need to find some time to dedicate to cleaning again.
9) Knitting a Sweater: Well, I've picked a pattern and have started.
10) Volunteer: Haven't come up with my plan yet- I'm assuming that's basically on hold until post-Follies.

That's all I've got right now- back to homework!
