Lifestyle Choice…

So this local guy had been dying to meet me because he said he wanted to help me with make more money with my blog. And well, I would like to make more money with my blog (more medical bills are coming in and Crazy Cocker Spaniel needs quite few tumors removed that I can’t afford to remove :( ). So we meet and he starts talking and tells me that I need to stop thinking that I’m marketing a blog but in fact marketing a lifestyle. He was serious so I withheld the laughter since I thought it would be rude but was like are you F-ing kidding me? He rambled on and on about clothing, fragrance, cookbook, cookware, etc… While he rambled on I kind of zoned out (because he was ridiculous) and started to think about me selling my “lifestyle”: Oh sure I could probably sell a few “Life is too short to think that a sugar free pudding cup is dessert” t-shirt with my blog on the back. But what else did this man think I would sell? Replicas of my cleaning sweatpants, the ones with … [Read more...]

Cougar town….

My hand has now seen three different people and they all now tell me the same thing…nothing they can do. That surgery will not help and I just get to deal with the fact that my hand will be numb/in pain and be thankful that it’s usually only a few hours a day and not 24/7. Well awesome. Not. It’s a sore subject right now (no pun intended). In awesome news while I was on vacation I found out that I won Sprinkle Bakes (btw do you own her cookbook yet? SprinkleBakes: Dessert Recipes to Inspire Your Inner Artist You should...it's $11 on Amazon...how can you not pull the trigger on that!) hosted a giveaway that I could really get behind. I love all things Kate Spade and this had sprinkles on it as well. Squeal. And then I won!!! Double squeal. While I love when people give away mixers and what not I don’t usually enter because I own things like that…this was unique and I love it! Now that vacation has come and gone I’ve decided I need more vacation. :) I’m trying to … [Read more...]

Valentine Quick Fix….

My uncle’s advice to me when I was in college and in love was to go on a road trip that was more than 8 hours in a car and that will tell you if you are compatible with someone or not. It’s actually a really good indicator he is right…so is spending 5 straight days with someone in a city you’ve never been too…and a 6 ½ hour flight home when you are both tired. When you can spend 5 days with someone and enjoy them the whole time and not at some point wish they would go away…that’s a good indicator. In fact you leave the vacation wishing you had more days together…and we’ve spent the last 4 days discussing how we miss not spending all day together (feel free to vomit at this point). Being in mushy minded mode has reminded me that Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. I’m not the biggest fan of this day as I feel men get screwed but since I have a valentine I will be doing something. In other good news I normally get my dieting readers back at that point as well. … [Read more...]

Philly Take Two….

Saturday was game day and the whole reason we came. We started off by going to brunch back at Khyber Pass Pub. We loved it so much on Thursday night and noticed that they offered brunch on the weekends. I had the praline bacon and pork belly corn dog. Yes you read that right...I had pork-fest 2013 and once again OMFG incredible! We then headed to the arena. It was a day game and we arrived to a parking lot full of tailgating fans. To say the Philly fans are intense is putting it mildly but I can't help but love their passion. We had such a great time and even though the Flyers lost the experience will stay with me and MDP. And you have to love that their pretzels are in the shape of the Flyers symbol! That night we met up with Kita (Pass the Sushi) and her man and tried Eulogy Belgian Tavern which had an amazing selection of beers! The food was good too but it was super hot in there and so we headed across the street to you guessed it Khyber Pass Pub (I … [Read more...]
