Italian Sloppy Joes?

Tonight we tried something new: Italian Sloppy Joes.  Well, I guess that's what you would call them.  The original plan was for meatball subs.  So, this morning, before work, I made the sauce and the meatballs and put them in the crock-pot... Technically, they would be done by the time I got home, and all I would have to do is put the rolls with cheese in the oven on broil and heat up some frozen veggies.  Right?  Wrong.  I took my time when I got home going through stuff...opening my Scentsy warmer and scent of the month (the scent totally smells like cake = amazing)!  Anyways, around six, I thought I would start the bread and cheese in the oven and pop the veggies in the microwave.  Fortunately, I checked the meatballs first--not even warm.  For some reason, the crock-pot was NOT plugged in all the way.  (Which, considering how my morning went, isn't THAT surprising.) So, in desperation to get the meat cooked quickly, I poured it into a skillet and broke up the balls...thus, no meatballs.  It still tasted good...just not quite what I had planned!


I did finish reading "An Echo in the Darkness," the second book in a series by Francine Rivers.  I would definitely recommend the series, if you haven't already read them.  Or at least the first two books, seeing as I haven't read the third yet...but I'm guessing it's good too.  I was pretty frustrated with the way the first book ended.  So much so that I almost refused to read the second.  However, once I started in on the second, I could hardly put it down!  Also, it ended much better.  Way more closure.  Well, I should go to bed so I don't give the story away.  Have a goodnight everyone!
