<description><![CDATA[For all those people who want to find out if your partner is cheating or the password to your partne]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>For all those people who want to find out if your partner is cheating or the password to your partner&#8217;s facebook/myspace/e-mail/msn and other. Or if you are a parent worrying about what your kid might be doing at the computer behind closed doors.     </p>
<p>Business going bad? Time to check up on your employees surfing habits. But how to do this, without getting caught trying to get some information?     </p>
<p><strong>Keep reading, I have the solution for all of you people.</strong><br />I chose to introduce you to a keylogging/surveillance program after finally finding the tool that will give myself some answers to questions regarding my own relationship. I have searched for quite a long time and thought that there just aren&#8217;t any effective programs out there yet. But I found out that there is, it&#8217;s called All In One Keylogger, I gave it a try and I was honestly said frightened about the information it is able to collect, it will give you the answers to all your questions and suspiciousness.     </p>
<p><strong>With this program everything is possible, from getting a password to any community site, e-mail or forums and seeing all chat logs or messages &#8211; to recording microphone sounds (cybersex or the chat with another person and even webcam activity! (Both the own persons and a possible strangers webcam if he/she is watching naked teenagers behind your back). <em>And best of all: you will have PROOF of what you have seen, which you obviously wont if you just suspect something without this program</em>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The program fits for:</strong></p>
<p>a) People in a relationship  <br />b) Business administration, finding out what your employees do when they &#8220;work&#8221;  <br />c) Parents who want to keep track of their kids.     </p>
<p>From their homepage you can read about the futures of All In One Keylogger, as I find it a bit pointless to copy paste whole production info page. Don&#8217;t be scared off by the word keylogger, YOU are the master of the program, only you will ever have control of the logs, pictures and audio that it monitors. Below is a lot of information about the features and what the program does, I recommend to read it in order to get a idea about the program.</p>
<p><strong><br />Product Website:</strong><br /><span><a href="https://www.plimus.com/jsp/redirect.jsp?contractId=1682768&#38;referrer=Niar" target="_blank">http://www.plimus.com/jsp/redirect.jsp?contractId=1682768&#38;referrer=Niar</a></span><br /> 
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I chose to speak more about my personal experiences of the program instead of talking about all the futures, those can all be found by following the link above to the product site.</p>
<p><strong><br />What does All In One Keylogger do?</strong></p>
<p> All In One Keylogger logs all keystrokes and passwords that have been typed into crypted files on your computer, it tracks all windows and applications that have been launched, clipboard, chat conversations (sent and received), all Web sites that have been visited, e-mails sent and received.     </p>
<p>You can set it to take screen snapshots every few seconds or on each mouse click, just like a surveillance camera. It can also record Microphone sounds and restrict the access to specified Web sites and applications if wanted. It can even be set up to send these logs to your e-mail or FTP for tracking when you are away! </p>
<p>Personally I hate it the times I get the feeling in my stomach that something might be going on when I&#8217;m away from my partner, this is the solution to get rid of the paranoia, or to get proof for your suspicions. It snaps up all usernames and passwords into the very easily readable log viewer supported in the All In One Keylogger program.     And maybe even more importantly you can set it up to take screen snapshots every few seconds and view the pictures later. I chose to divide the potential usage areas into different categories, you might wonder what the All In One Keylogger could be good for, I&#8217;ll tell you.  </p>
<p> <strong>Relationship: </strong><br />In the survey that took place in United States in the year of 2005 which includes married couples only, 56% of the participants of the survey said that during their marriage they had at least one sexual encounter with a person that is not their spouse. Are you living in a relationship and suspect that your partner is cheating on you, or doing other stuff he/she shouldn&#8217;t be doing on your/her computer (flirting harshly on community sites, MSN messenger contacts, webcam usage, microphone usage or visiting sites that are uncomfortable in a relationship.. the list goes on.     </p>
<p>This is where All In One Keylogger can be there to save you from wasting time on your relationship, you wonder what your partner does when he/she is on the computer and you are away or working night shift. Well there is no reason to keep wondering and being paranoid about what she might be doing, you can find it out directly by downloading the trial version straight away (it is amazingly easy to set up, and the best part is that it is totally undetectable/invisible in windows, so no one can find out it&#8217;s installed and running.. read more on product site for more detailed info).</p>
<p>&#160;It basically records all keystrokes, and shows in which program the text has been typed in, stores visited sites and you can set it up to take a picture of the screen for example every 10 seconds!  </p>
<p> <strong>Employers:</strong> <br />In the survey that took place in Britain in the year 2006, 87% of the employees participating in the survey said that they surf on the internet during their work at least once a week. 73% of them said that they surf at least once a day. 23% of them said that they dedicate more time to surfing on the internet than to their work!     In the additional survey that took place in the same year answered 36% of the employers, participants of the survey mentioned that they are afraid that secrets of the company will be sent to their competitors from the company computers by their employees. 4% announced that they fell victim to the theft of company secrets by their workers from the company computers.</p>
<p>Are you running a small sized company, and wonder why you aren&#8217;t getting as much work done as you should be getting. Well the solution is here, with All In One Keylogger you can make sure who are actually working and who are not. The result can be scary, you might find out that the employee is actually playing online poker half day or such, no wonder that the results aren&#8217;t so promising. There are a lot of people who don&#8217;t care as long as their getting paid, so they will just entertain themselves in some way instead of actually working.  </p>

<p> <strong>Parents:<br /></strong>Today, almost every child has access to internet. This comes thanks to the advance in technology, but has also risks involved.     Did you know that: The average age when the children encounter pornography in the internet is 11? The age of the largest pornography consumer group in the internet is between 12 to 17? 85% of children between the ages 6-16 encountered pornographic content intentionally or unintentionally (most of them while preparing their homework). 25% of children between ages 9-17 will freely disclose their home address in the internet?  60% of children who committed suicide, declared their intentions online directly or indirectly? One in five children who use the computer chat rooms has been approached over the internet by pedophiles? Only 25% of youth who received sexual solicitation told a parent. </p>
<p>The children today are very sophisticated and most of us parents don&#8217;t have the knowledge to know what they are doing behind their closed doors in front of the computer. Are they browsing to inappropriate websites, are they downloading illegal content using P2P programs that will in the future result in lawsuits of thousands of dollars? What personal information they disclose about themselves, are they talking to adults, or maybe they meet them?        </p>
<p><strong>All In One Keylogger has many features:</strong></p>
<p>No activity on your computer will be able to evade this high quality Keylogger. Does your kid make secret chat conversations with adult strangers? Maybe even with a pedophile that searches for his next victim? Does he surf to pornographic sites? Maybe he even exposes his personal details where he is not supposed to? Does he use P2P programs, sharing copyrighted materials which could constitute a pretext to a lawsuit of tens thousands of dollars? Have you ever wondered why does your husband &#8220;work&#8221; on his computer so late at the night? Does he have a secret online lover?Have you ever wondered who is your wife&#8217;s &#8220;partner&#8221; she talks with all the time? Do your employees surf on the internet instead of doing their work which you pay them for? Do they sell company secretes to your competitors? A high quality Keylogger should give you the answers to all these questions. No activity will be able to evade from it. No undesirable activity will be able to evade from you! As said, a high quality Keylogger is an &#8220;All In One Keylogger&#8221;, so just press this link to download &#8220;All In One Keylogger&#8221;:  </p>

<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m all <strong>&#8220;up in christmas&#8221; </strong>as my sister once said.</p>
<p>My mom and I just made a paper chain for the tree (hence the title of this post)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been super busy with finishing my portfolio(s) for my finals&#8230; as the semester is almost over (one week from tonight!) yes!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not ready though, because i have LOADS of studying to do. But as always I&#8217;d rather blog then study.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;"><em>Lately in the world of Hannah&#8230;</em></span></strong></p>

<p>I&#8217;m trying out this whole vegan thing. I&#8217;ve really been enjoying it. I love vegan hot chocolate (soy milk, cocoa and water = love) with a candy cane, and I&#8217;m in heaven. I also love my Mom&#8217;s bean burgers, which I will post a recipe and how to soon because they are AWESOME.</p>
<p>Other things : I decked out our house in <strong>Christmas lights</strong> (i&#8217;ll show once I find the time to take pictures&#8230;ahha) and We put up both of our trees (yes we have two christmas trees, one int he kitchen and one in the living room&#8230;) we&#8217;re kind of crazy. haha.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">Miss Stella has an admirer!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">She&#8217;s received a lot of great mail over the past week with letters of encouragement from her new friends all over the United States &#8211; and I read each one of them outloud to her!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">But Stella has an extra special someone writing to her these days &#8230;.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Really, what more could a girl want?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Oh, that&#8217;s right a crafty, yet romantic letter-writer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8230;with myself.  I&#8217;m cozied up at home on a brisk, chilly winter-in-Arizona day.  I&#8217;m wearing the cute new jewelry I got today (because I&#8217;m epically bad at Christmas shopping and although that was my intention, I ended up with mostly things for myself before I got down to business).  I made a wonderful meal and have some dessert in the works and I&#8217;m watching a few movies (good compromise-type movies intended to watch with a guy&#8230;action for him, but with cute actors and love stories for me).  I picked these movies because the man I&#8217;ve been seeing was supposed to be here with me, but things haven&#8217;t been going to well lately and this afternoon it kind of went even worse.</p>
<p>Now I know that I&#8217;m kind of awesome and whether it&#8217;s this guy or not, someone will soon appreciate me for it and I&#8217;ll find my homebody boyfriend to go on these fabulous dates with.</p>

Anginae&#8217;s boyfriend (whom shall now be known as Bark) moved out of his house today and into an apartment and the use of my truck and lifting ability was needed. I was genuinely happy to help. He&#8217;s a nice guy, they seem really happy together and despite the past mistakes he&#8217;s made with his current marriage I truely hope they can find happiness with one another.</p>
<p>The last few weeks have moved quickly.  Anginae and I are both fairly comfortable with the decision we have made. Bark has made a big step to end a marriage he has been unhappy in for many years. His divorce, unlike ours, is likely to be a nasty one. He&#8217;s a lucky guy to have the chance of being with Anginae once it&#8217;s all over for him. Today may be one more step in what my life will be; spending time with my best friend (aka ex-wife) and her man. I&#8217;m really pretty okay with that.  So long as I have me a man of my own to tag along with me. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>It is officially Christmas time! Well, boyfriend and I put up the Christmas tree while listening to our favorite Christmas songs on <a href="http://www.christmasfm.ie/" target="_blank">Christmas FM</a> last weekend and it felt very festive indeed. I have most of my Christmas shopping done and arranged a few nights out with my nearest and dearest.</p>
<p>It will be my first Christmas since moving in with boyfriend (earlier this year) so it will be extra special . I can&#8217;t wait to see the excitement on his face when he opens his presents.  He&#8217;s a kid at heart and so am I.  I thought outside the box for his presents this year. Usually, I really struggle with presents at Christmas time. I&#8217;m one of those maniac shoppers trawling through the department stores on Christmas eve at 5:55pm when they close at 6.00pm, searching frantically for that &#8217;special&#8217; gift. This year, I got inspired early somehow, I don&#8217;t know &#8211; it just came to me and in a matter of minutes the transaction was completed on amazon.  The wonders of modern technology. All will be revealed after Christmas.</p>
<p>MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!<a href="http://theultimateoptimist.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/christmas_present.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81" title="christmas_present" src="http://theultimateoptimist.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/christmas_present.jpg" alt="" width="187" height="145" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Good afternoon &#38; happy humpday friends!! Sorry for the spontaneous hiatus…I have been dealing with some SERIOUS tech issues! Such as….I COULD NOT get my computer to recognize my camera, to get the pics off of it?! Soooo frustrating, I spent Sunday, lunch Monday, lunch Tuesday and time in the evenings trying to figure it out. GUF.</p>
<p>Thankfully, the camera gods have finally smiled down on me and when I hooked it up today, it worked instantly. VERY strange..</p>
<p>Anyway, like 99% of peeps livin in the Northern Midwest, I am snowed in at home today! Everyone had been talking up the storm, but honestly I wasn’t too concerned. Hello, I’ve driven through storms for the past 8 years (wow…..). So, I got up per usual for work today, let the puppers out, took one look at my car, and immediately crawled back in bed.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2352.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2352" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2352_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=184" border="0" alt="DSCN2352" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2354.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2354" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2354_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=184" border="0" alt="DSCN2354" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2358.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2358" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2358_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=184" border="0" alt="DSCN2358" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2355.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2355" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2355_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=184" border="0" alt="DSCN2355" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2353.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2353" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2353_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=184" border="0" alt="DSCN2353" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2356.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2356" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2356_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=184" border="0" alt="DSCN2356" width="244" height="184" /></a> </p>
<p>Yeah. Seriously.</p>
<p>So, what have I been up to pre-blizzard-2009? Eatin’ some goooooooooood stuff, that’s what I have been doin!</p>
<p>Can’t give you much from over the weekend- it was pretty low key…that is, if you count staying up until 3 in the morning two nights in a row??? Pretty excited to find out this ol’ homebody still got it. Friday it was just TJ and I, playing Wii into the WEE hours of the night (har, har) and Saturday we were at a surprise birthday party for a friend. There may or may not have been beer pong &#38; apples to apples action. Dangerous! ANYway…</p>
<p>Sunday was spent putting up our tree, decorating, football, snacking and NAPPING. LOTS and LOTS of napping. To set off the theme of the week, dinner was comfort meal #1- something I have never made, had no recipe for, and decided to just wing with my fingers crossed.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Turkey Meatloaf with Chunky Tomato Glaze</span></h2>
<p>16 oz extra lean ground turkey</p>
<p>2 slices whole wheat bread</p>
<p>2 eggs</p>
<p>1 cup skim milk</p>
<p>2 tbsp worcestershire sauce</p>
<p>2 cloves garlic, minced</p>
<p>1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced</p>
<p>Salt, Pepper &#38; Parsley to taste</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2292.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2292" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2292_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2292" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk eggs &#38; milk together in a bowl. Tear bread into small chunks, stir into egg &#38; milk mixture and let sit 15-30 minutes.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2295.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2295" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2295_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2295" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>2. Meanwhile, sauté onion, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley over medium heat, or until onions have JUST softened. Transfer to a bowl and cool 5-10 minutes. Once onion mix has cooled, combine in bowl with turkey, egg mix and worcestershire sauce. Using two forks, toss ingredients until combined.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2300.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2300" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2300_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2300" width="634" height="476" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2302.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2302" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2302_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2302" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>3. Let meat mixture set up in fridge 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare topping. Whisk together 2 Tbsp yellow mustard, 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce, 1 Tbsp hot sauce (I used sriracha, obvs), 1 seeded, finely diced roma tomato &#38; 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2296.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2296" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2296_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2296" width="634" height="476" /></a> <a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2298.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2298" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2298_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2298" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>5. On a cookie sheet coated with nonstick spray, shape meat mix into a loaf &#38; top with 3/4 of the sauce. Or use a loaf pan if you have one- which I do not! Bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick the loaf is), spread with the remaining 1/4 sauce and bake for 15 more minutes.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2304.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2304" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2304_thumb.jpg?w=419&#038;h=557" border="0" alt="DSCN2304" width="419" height="557" /></a> <a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2306.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2306" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2306_thumb.jpg?w=419&#038;h=557" border="0" alt="DSCN2306" width="419" height="557" /></a></p>
<p>Served up with fully loaded sides- an itty bitty teeny weeny tater with sharp cheddar &#38; scallions, and some steamed cauliflower topped with the same…have you ever tried mashing cauliflower into potatoes? HEAVENLY!!. All the flava &#38; texture of a tasty baked tato with non of the calories &#38; guilt <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   </p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2308.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2308" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2308_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=509" border="0" alt="DSCN2308" width="634" height="509" /></a> </p>
<p>Verdict- healthified comfort meal #1- SUCCESS!! Such a good base for meatloaf…I have already brainstormed all sorts of ways to fancify it up! Adding salsa &#38; chopped chiles for southwestern, adding soy sauce &#38; ginger for Asian flair, chopped olives &#38; oregano for Mediterranean…YEAH!</p>
<p>So Monday, manic Monday, dinner was comfort food continued…perhaps not your traditional comfort meal, but everything about it was so perfect in my mind. Tasty, healthy and EASY? Now that is what I call comfort, my friends.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pan Roasted Pork Loin with Balsamic Fig Onions</span></p>
<p>2 4 oz pork loin cuts, trimmed of visible fat &#38; pounded out to about 1/2 inch thick</p>
<p>4 dried figs, finely minced</p>
<p>1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced vertically</p>
<p>2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar</p>
<p>1 tbsp Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce</p>
<p>2 tbsp water</p>
<p>S &#38; P</p>
<p>1. Preheat large pan to medium-high. Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat pan. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper. Add to pan &#38; sear 2-3 minutes. Flip, reduce heat to medium &#38; add figs and onions. Cook 4-5 minutes, or until onions just become translucent.  <a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2314.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2314" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2314_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2314" width="634" height="476" /></a>   <a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2317.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2317" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2317_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2317" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>2. Add balsamic, soy &#38; water to deglaze pan. Scrape up all those browned bits at the bottom!! Cook another 3-4 minutes, or until pork is done and sauce has thickened. Serve pork topped with onions &#38; sauce along with your favorite sides.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2322.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2322" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2322_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=488" border="0" alt="DSCN2322" width="634" height="488" /></a></p>

<p>Which, for me, were baked beans and garlic sauteed mushrooms sprinkled with bread crumbs. A whooooole lotta brown, but oh so delicious. So fast and easy, too! Everything came together in &#60;20 minutes.</p>
<p>Oh and by the way, those beans were face rockin for lunch the next day, served over some leftover rice (I found out as I was making dinner that TJ doesnt like baked beans!?!? WHAAT?? So I whipped out one of those 7 minute rice sides for him).</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2331.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2331" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2331_thumb.jpg?w=327&#038;h=246" border="0" alt="DSCN2331" width="327" height="246" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2330.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2330" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2330_thumb.jpg?w=327&#038;h=246" border="0" alt="DSCN2330" width="327" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>Topped with a lil sharp cheddar &#38; sriracha, and a lil green salad on the side. YUMMM, it ignited a new found love of beans ‘n rice!</p>
<p>So, speaking of classic pairings, what&#8217;s more classic than Fish, Chips &#38; Slaw?? Here’s my take on it.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tilapia topped with Artichoke &#38; Caper Salsa</span></h2>
<p>3-4 filets of tilapia</p>
<p>1/2 can italian style diced tomatoes</p>
<p>3/4 cup chopped artichokes</p>
<p>2 tbsp capers</p>
<p>1 tbsp vinegar from capers</p>
<p>1 tsp garlic powder</p>
<p>2 tsp italian seasoning</p>
<p>S &#38; P</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2341.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2341" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2341_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2341" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray pan with non stick spray &#38; season tilapia with salt and pepper. Toss together tomatoes, artichokes, capers, seasonings and vinegar.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2342.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2342" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2342_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2342" width="634" height="476" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2344.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2344" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2344_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2344" width="634" height="476" /></a><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2345.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2345" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2345_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2345" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>2. Top fish with salsa &#38; bake in oven for 6-8 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.</p>
<p>Serve with chips &#38; slaw…specifically-</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Spicy Red Slaw</span></h2>
<p>1 small bag shredded red cabbage</p>
<p>2 carrots, thinly sliced</p>
<p>4 green onions, thinly sliced</p>
<p>2 tbsp light mayo</p>
<p>1 tbsp spicy brown mustard</p>
<p>1 tbsp hot sauce (once again, Sriracha used here!)</p>
<p>1 tbsp sugar</p>
<p>1 tbsp white wine vinegar</p>
<p>Combine all ingredients &#38; let chill in fridge 30 min before serving.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2332.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2332" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2332_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2332" width="634" height="476" /></a>   <a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2338.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2338" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2338_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2338" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>So easy! And for the fries, I just wedged a couple potatoes, tossed in about a tbsp EVOO, salt, pepper and stuck in the oven for 20 minutes before the fish went in, so they roasted for 30 minutes total. Take that, unhealthy comfort foods.</p>
<p><a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2346.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2346" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2346_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=530" border="0" alt="DSCN2346" width="634" height="530" /></a> <a href="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2347.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border:0;" title="DSCN2347" src="http://savoringsarah.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/dscn2347_thumb.jpg?w=634&#038;h=476" border="0" alt="DSCN2347" width="634" height="476" /></a></p>
<p>WHEW. So now that we’re all caught up, I SWEAR I have some beauty product reviews coming up tonight, as well as yet another lightened up comfort food dinner. I’m off to go scrounge around in the kitchen for lunch. Hope you all are warm &#38; safe, wherever you are!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Two</span> THREE things to end on…</p>
<p>1) Jax is in love with a silver lab named Myla.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I know this is two TV-related posts in a row but I can&#8217;t help myself. Like I said before, my boyfriend is an amazingly good sport about indulging me when it comes to my shitty taste in television shows. He&#8217;s a huge film/TV buff and is an encyclopedia when it comes to film stuff but man, does he watch some shitty shows at the behest of his girlfriend.<!--more--></p>
<p>Case in point: while watching the X Factor with me last weekend (seriously, what guy stays in on a Saturday to watch some two-bit talent show with his boring girlfriend?), we saw an ad for this show. It caught my attention IMMEDIATELY and I said, &#8220;Oh my god, what is this, we have to see this movie!&#8221; I was watching the <strong>very long </strong>commercial intently, waiting for it to be over so I could see what movie it was. Then I got distracted by my other true love, pizza. I thought I heard the pizza guy (I was wrong)! Then, when I finally bumped back down to planet Earth, the ad was over and I didn&#8217;t know the name of the movie! All I knew was that it was about a glee club and that it used Journey&#8217;s Don&#8217;t Stop Believin&#8217;. I opened my laptop and Googled, &#8220;Glee club movie journey don&#8217;t stop believin&#8217;&#8221; and got my answer. The most perfect show ever made. Okay, not perfect, perfect but it looked pretty good! REALLY. And for the record, I hated High School Musical.</p>
<p>Anyway a few days later, my boy downloaded me the first season. Well, what&#8217;s been aired of the first season. We watched episodes one and two last night and I was hooked. The best part? So was he. He loves musicals in general (he took me to see Jersey Boys, Avenue Q, Billy Elliot, the Lion King and Chicago in London&#8217;s west end) but this show is fucking awful. BUT, he loves it. We both do!</p>
<p>His questionable taste in television is one of the MANY reasons I love my boyfriend.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Read my red lips, so she says.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s almost 4:00 pm, and I can&#8217;t keep avoiding Skylar. She&#8217;s been in the psychiatrist office waiting room almost four hours now.</p>
<p>But first I&#8217;ll sneak down the side door way and staircase and smoke a cigarette. I&#8217;ll need one before seeing her. Things have gotten out of control. I race out the back door and leave Skylar waiting a bit longer, I have to have some free time to think of what to say, or maybe I shouldn&#8217;t say anything. Always nice that way. I laugh to myself.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m pacing back and forth, sucking down a cigarette, I know a doctor, stupid, right? Anyway I spot Skylar walking out looking fumed. I try to dodge below the parking garage, but she sees me. She doesn&#8217;t even look at me, just darts her eyes at me and then skirts them towards the front door of her boyfriend&#8217;s hummer. He&#8217;s the one who I owed and got me into this whole mess with Skylar.</p>
<p>I must admit the sex is mind-blowing though.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve realized that my boyfriend and I have developed our own language. Not really a cutesy type of thing, if I had to describe it as anything I would call it peculiar, that&#8217;s the nice way to say it anyway!<br />
I just wanted to start recording the different phrases that, until now, only we would understand beyond face value.<br />
So here goes:</p>
<p><strong>Rice and beans:</strong> Referring to body odor or the armpit area.<br />
<strong>200 Pounds:</strong> <em>(Noun, verb) </em>The act of grinding of one&#8217;s teeth. A mouth guard or a request for someone to put their mouth gaurd in (prevents the grinding of one&#8217;s teeth in their sleep).<br />
<strong>Tension/&#8217;tention:</strong> <em>Root word- Attention.</em> Involves the invasion of one&#8217;s personal space, often in retribution for one&#8217;s seeking attention. Often involves tickling, poking, biting, licking, etc. all for the sake of annoying or disgusting the victim.<br />
<strong>Brittany:</strong> <em>(Adj.)(synonyms: Tracy, Nancy [any name ending in a y sound])</em> Disgusting, smelly, ugly, or otherwise undesireable.<br />
<strong>Lips:</strong> <em>(Verb)</em> To kiss.<br />
<strong>Chinese girl hiss:</strong> <em>(Noun) Origin: (Nicole) Shangnen.</em> Refers to a noise made in response to an annoying comment or to express disagreement.<br />
e.g.: -&#8221;Those shoes are ugly&#8221;<br />
-&#8221;Tsss!&#8221;<br />
<strong>Popscockles:</strong> <em>Origin: Metalocolypse.</em> A synonym for popsicles.<br />
<strong>Blose job:</strong> <em>Origin: Metalocolypse. </em>Nose bleed<br />
<strong>Blanket girl:</strong> <em>Also known as a <strong>Bed Girl</strong>,</em> the Blanket Girl is an elusive creature who coccoons herself in a thick layer of blankets through the Winter months and sheds the layers in the Spring.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll have to continue this later. It&#8217;s hard to think of all of them when I try to force myself, but we&#8217;ve certainly got more!<br />
In the meantime, answer me this!<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Uh thanks?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s actually really funny that this guy would say this to me at the gym today. I mean, he and I see one another all the time at the gym. I won&#8217;t lie there is often eye flirtation. He has a great body&#8211;always doing lunges in front of me with his 35 lbs kettle ball, planks for over two minutes, and alternating push ups&#8230; these are things that turn me on when I am working out.  A girl has to have a guy like him to keep her long runs interesting. We&#8217;re talking 2 hours on a treadmill sometimes. I need something to get me through the long runs I train for and he is my eye candy.</p>
<p>OKAY&#8230;anyway&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny he mentioned radical honesty and the fact that he got it from a book&#8212;</p>
<p>You see, recently, I finished reading &#8220;The Guinea Pig Diaries&#8221; by A.J. Jacobs. In said book there&#8217;s a section where Jacobs discovers radical honesty uses it for a period of time&#8230;siting examples of how other men choose to use this theory. This was my gym reading material for when I was using the bike to cool down after my runs for about a week.</p>
<p>The man picked up the same book.</p>
<p>Read the book.</p>
<p>AND then used one of the concepts on me&#8230;</p>
<p>When I mentioned to him that he got the idea from AJ Jacobs he looked at me funny and realized it was ME. I am the girl with the AJ Jacobs book. He then choose to divulge his gym crushes and that he wasn&#8217;t sure which one was the one that sent him in the direction of THE GP DIARIES&#8230;</p>
<p>I admired his honesty and found it almost sexy.</p>
<p>I found myself embarrassed for &#8220;calling him out&#8221; and for being slightly turned on by this crass pick up line.</p>
<p>&#8220;WHY I NEVVVVAAAA&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>My gym eye candy then went on to compliment my thighs and the way they look when I run. Specifically, the way my ass looks in my Under Armour shorts as my feet hit the treadmill, &#8220;perfect bounce&#8221;.</p>
<p>Ten minutes of strange flirting and me hitting his shoulder playfully and giggling like I was single he asked me out on what might be one of the coolest sounding dates ever.</p>
<p>&#8220;So why don&#8217;t you let me take you out sometime? I&#8217;ve got a cousin that owns a warehouse where you can play paintball. It&#8217;s awesome and you seem like the kind of girl who wants to play rough. After wards we can grab a couple of slices, drink some Chianti, and go back to my place. I might try to sleep with you but I wouldn&#8217;t make you stay because you seem like the girl who wouldn&#8217;t stay on the first date. I&#8217;m not offending you am I?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;-&#8221;uhh&#8230;not really.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d rock your world. How does it sound?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;-&#8221;I&#8217;m not going to lie&#8230;it sounds awesome and strangely enough I&#8217;d be totally into this idea of paintball, eating pizza,drinking disgusting wine, and having hot nasty sex. Seriously, I think you might have me dead on&#8230;but I have a boyfriend and I doubt he&#8217;d like it if I went on doing these kind of things with my gym eye candy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;boyfriend? man&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;-&#8221;I&#8217;m sorry but seriously thanks for asking.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;don&#8217;t think I won&#8217;t ask again sweet ass.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;-giggling</p>
<p>&#8220;Can I get your number?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212;-&#8221;sure.&#8221;</p>
<p>And with that I might be a terrible person.</p>

<blockquote><p>
So I has been 3 days Since We kept this secret.You told me you love me that day.Then again the next day, but today you didn&#8217;t.Even though you weren&#8217;t in class.You clould have message me saying it.I Don&#8217;t know why I so worried about this.I guess love is so powerful I loose control.I need to step back and take a breath.I don&#8217;t want to be so needy.Since you said those words I just have to keep them in mind even when you don&#8217;t say it.If you hurt me I will still know thats someone said that they loved me ,even though they had ended it.I guess I can&#8217;t keep rushing into this cause one of these days I might trip and fall.What if I had love that I could barley ever see.What if in a few years just saying I was dating a rockstar.*cough Bill Kaulitz cough* he would be on tour would I be able to handle.I think I wouldn&#8217;t be able.Its sad to think that,but at least I know what right.Stop making lies about love,the truth about love is it hurts and feels good at the same time.If you are together everytime what if something happens.People say they maybe no worries but I think there are.It makes my brain hurt to think about it.I already found myself flirting with another guy.My best friend&#8217;s boyfriend,But I step back thinking about the wonderful person I already had in my left.Would I really risk loosing it?If only there was a love button ,so everytime I pushed it there would be love.Sadly that only happens in a fairytale and I for one no I am not in a fairytale.Or I would be living in my castle.I hate to think about it ,but I think were difting.I fear for that day when you say its over.Will I ever get you back.Instead of having one word convos.Return to normal convos where I lasted 7 hours long.Oh I hope I can get you back again.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This will be the last time I rant about this. Its a personal blog, so you will read a little bit of everything here.  I know there are far worse things I could be going through, but I had to get it out&#8230;.once and for all all in one place.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been 275 days since I&#8217;ve seen him. Or made love to him. Or  chased him around a store.  Or watched him play that stupid Xbox. Since his skin has been on mine. I miss holding his hand and kissing him. My ears miss his laugh.  23,760,000 seconds since I&#8217;ve heard it in person. These past few weeks have been rough. I&#8217;m an insomniac, but I&#8217;ve been up crying lately. My nose misses the smell of him scrubbing his boots and the way his uniform smells. 396,000 minutes.  I miss people always pointing at us because we laugh too loud, flirt too much and look too in love. My eye&#8217;s miss his smirk after he&#8217;s told me a joke. 6600 hours I miss this taste of him. His lips, his neck, I miss the taste of every inch of him.  If he had gotten me preggers&#8230;..I&#8217;d be ready to pop.  I miss the was he slurps way to loud on ramen noddles.</p>
<p>I miss feeling like the only woman on the planet. I miss him running up behind me throwing me on his shoulder and running around in circles. l know it seems like I&#8217;m belaboring this&#8230;..but damn it, it got extended.  Yes, technically we are ex&#8217;s&#8230;..but since the break up (it&#8217;s been a year) we cant take any relationship seriously.  Every man I talk to tells me, I&#8217;m too in love with J to consider dating.  I know I am and I haven&#8217;t been on a date in months, because my heart is in the middle east. I miss my soldier. I miss him swearing like a sailor and getting mad because I told him he does something like a sailor. I know he will be home soon.    This has been the longest 275 days my fucking life.  R&#38; R was amazing, but not long enough.  I promise&#8230;.I&#8217;m done moaning about this&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d like to thank our Men and Women that serve us all over the world.  You mean a lot.</p>
