pretty good day

:: My new crockpot recipe turned out pretty darn tasty, so I will share it below...the meat was super tender.

BBQ Beef Sandwiches

1 beef chuck roast
1/2 cup ketchup
4 tbs brown sugar (I used sucanat)
4 tbs red wine vinegar
2 tbs dijon mustard
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp liquid smoke
Whole Wheat Buns

Trim fat from roast. Place the roast in a crockpot. Combine rest of ingredients except for buns. Pour over meat in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours. Remove beef and shred into bite-size pieces with two forks. Arrange beef on the buns for a sandwich. Spoon out remaining sauce if extra is desired.

:: Had a MUCH better day at work today...sick co-worker returned and sick printer was fixed...

:: Ordered a few things from Chadwicks this evening...they sent me a coupon for "choose any item free" with any purchase. So I got some $60 shoes for free! I couldn't pass that up. I think the shoes are so cute (black), and I also bought a dress for work (black). Looking forward to receiving it and seeing if it all fits...

:: Got my "annual" hair cut this evening, and it feels soooo good! I should try to get two haircuts this year maybe :) Kept it long, had her razor the ends and give me some long layers. Looking forward to fixing it tomorrow and actually wearing it down!!

:: My aunt Karen sent a little e-card/scrapbook thing that I thought was really cute, so I checked out the website where she created it. Looks pretty cute. It is smilebox.com. I'm going to try to make something soon to share!!!
