My Chip Dip Brings All the Boys to the Yard

Well, congratulations to Kim Kardashian on winning the Super Bowl. Personally, I was rooting for Kendra Wilkinson.
For the big game I went over to Antonio's house and "watched" it with him. I brought my computer and did some work and did my nails during the game :).
But, I did make an amazing chip dip! Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 package 2% reduced fat Velveeta cheese
1 can of Ro*tel (I used mild, which I think gave it just enough of a kick, but feel free to use original or the extra spicy one)
1 package of frozen chopped spinach

Unthaw the spinach in the microwave and drain out all the excess water with a strainer or paper towel. Cut the Velveeta in to cubes and melt in a separate bowl in the microwave. Drain excess juice out of the can of Ro*tel and add to Velveeta. Then add the spinach and microwave for about 30 seconds one last time.

Super easy, and delish! It was a big hit. It pairs very well with tortilla chips versus regular potato chips.

I found out a little more information on the earrings that I got from my mother (not from her of course, but from a friend). Turns out she didn't spend all that much on them (don't worry, they are real diamonds), but there is a neat story behind them. Why she did not inform me of this is beyond me. Did she just want me to think that she had spent $1000 on my birthday present? Who knows.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I need a computer of my own. So, I ordered one! I'm so excited to get it, but it'll be at least 10 days until I do. I got a really good deal on it, plus qualified for free shipping; always a goal of mine when making online purchases. I also ordered Adobe PhotoShop Elements, it was nicely discounted compared to Best Buy if purchased with the computer.
Picking the right computer was tricky! I had been planning on getting a Dell for a while now, but ended up with an HP, which gives you more bang for your buck I feel. HP has a really cute mini PC that I was so tempted to get, but decided against that at the last second because I wasn't sure that I would like typing on something so small, so I went for a normal 16'' laptop. So excited for it to get here!
Oh, and for the record, I'm rooting for Kendra Wilkinson in the Super Bowl. She's so much better than Kim Kardashian (although I do find myself watching her show on a regular basis).

A pile of rocks

I got my birthday present from my mother yesterday. I had to go pick it up at the post office. Turns out she got me diamond studs. They're not huge, I'd say they're 1/2 carat total weight, but just by looking at them I can tell they're good quality diamonds.
I don't get it. Why does the woman spend all that money on jewelry for me without so much as talking to me in the last 5 years? I don't understand at all.
I was kind of hoping that she was going to send me a computer, I really need one of those. Oh well, diamonds will work too :).
The final season of Lost starts tonight, have that set to record. I started watching the show before the 5th season started, so it will be interesting to see how the 6th and final season plays out.
