Rainy Day

So today: 1) I'm not feeling super awesome, thanks to my back being out and chest pains - but it's not life threatening so no need to worry! 2) Due to #1, I had to miss my teaching field experience and my technology class today (both my cooperating teacher and my tech teacher were understanding, so it's okay). 3) I just got an estimate on my car. I was in a fender bender Sunday on my way to church - I got hit instead of doing the hitting and everyone is fine so I mean, that's a plus...sort of. 4) It's just a rainy day!

Don't get me wrong, rain is a good thing. But typically I only like rainy days if I can go outside and splash in puddles in my rain boots, or if it's sunny-ish and warm-ish. (Yes, I make up my own words.) That being said, it's still a good day and I'm still going to try to be productive, after I rest on the couch for a while.
So, since I'm bored, I thought I'd just share a few things with you guys to try to keep us all a little sane on this rainy Tuesday afternoon.

Here's a little Kid President to get your day started. Because who doesn't love Kid President? And if you haven't ever heard of him, go watch some of his YouTube videos here. He is adorable and I guarantee you'll love this kid.

Since it is rainy, I thought it'd be a good idea to share my ultimate comfort food with you (thanks to Land O'Lakes for the best recipe ever!). It's called Ham, Mac & Cheese Soup. If you think it sounds weird, wait until you see the recipe. You will quickly change your mind and decide that yes, I was right, and it does sound and taste delicious. You can get the recipe here. And here's a little pic for you, just so you know ahead of time what kind of awesome deliciousness you're getting yourself into.

I KNOW RIGHT? Doesn't it look awesome? It tastes even better. And it really doesn't take very long to make. Also, I will go ahead and admit that I didn't use Land O'Lakes brand of everything for the recipe as they suggest. I'm not a stickler about that. Half and half is half and half, regardless of the brand. Anyway, I promise, you will LOVE this recipe! I actually love it so much that I may suck it up and go to the store and get the ingredients to make it, even though I don't feel super peachy. It's just that good!

Anyway, that's all I've got for you for now. Check back later for more awesomeness.
Have a great rainy Tuesday! Now watch some Kid Pres and get to cooking!
