I got a new phone!

-
I know it isn't anything super exciting or big or really a reason to write a blog about it, but if you knew that my phone was really old and I was paying way to much for it, you will understand why I am so happy.

Okay so the phone I just got rid of was the first cell phone I had ever gotten.  When I got the phone its main use was just phone calls I didn't really do that much texting so I paid for minimal texting and had a decent phone bill for what it was worth.  Then as my mom likes to say, I started dating.The 200 text messages per month wasn't going to do it for me anymore.  So I went online and changed the plan to have unlimited texting.  Sounds good right? Well, not really.  I don't have any problem with paying a little more to have a phone that provides for my needs, but when I'm paying about as much as someone who has wireless capability to their phone for my phone I feel a little cheated. I mean wouldn't you?
Here is the phone I'd had since October of 2009.  Like I said it wasn't a bad phone, it did what I needed it to do and if I happened to drop it, it didn't break it just had a little mark in it.
.
After talking away with my mother and her many visits to the At&t store for many reasons she asked if it would be smarter to be put on a plan together.  I mean paying for a phone that can just call and text for um lets say $70 a month isn't the best deal in the world, and in some terms I'd like to have the freedom of internet on my phone or help getting directions for one of those days I go on a wild drive and get lost.  Having something more then just a call would come in handy.  I mean that was the point of the phone in the first place, so that if there was some sort of distress I could pick up my phone and call one of my parents for help.  Now though they won't come running if I'm at school or somewhere in the midst of school and home.  I could still call to get an idea of help, but they aren't going to be close enough to help in that sense.  

Okay, that may have been a little bit of a tangent.  
Back to what I was saying.  It would be helpful to have a phone with a little more gadgets to go with it.  And while I was home over the past weekend it happened.  We went in, were put together on a plan, and I got a brand new (at least to me) smart phone.  It isn't the latest version of anything, but now my phone is worth what I'm paying a month, and I'm hoping when the phone bill finally comes I will say that the fact is true.  But for now, I'm happy.  I got a new phone that is a little smarter and a little easier to handle.
Woot!

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
