A Day Late and…

I always seem to be a day behind on everything. Heck when I found out that Ryan Reynolds just married Blake Lively I was like when were they dating? I try not to follow what Ryan is doing because it was my understanding that while I am getting married Ryan was to be staying at home pining away for me never to love another. I was quite sure he was sitting there day in and day out crying and making a voodoo doll of my fiancé. So imagine my surprise when I read that he had gotten married. And when I looked it up they had been dating for quite some time. And just today when looking up how to spell Blake Lively I found out that Blake is pregnant and it’s Ryan’s. Umm, Ryan, we need to talk. You are not living up to your part of the bargain here buddy. :) Another thing I was behind on was National Coffee Day. It was yesterday. I saw it on Twitter. I live in the city of the perpetual buzz I kind of needed to celebrate National Coffee Day. So while a day late I decided to make something … [Read more...]

I’m not a Best Blog…

So not only in the 14 paragraph email did I learn that I was horrible for not having a print button (which again for the record I do on the newer recipes) I also learned that I am not the best blog. Which is upsetting to me as pretty much anyone who asks what I do I tell them well I run the BEST BLOG don’t you know that? So clearly this was a blow to my ego. Thank goodness for Nyquil or I might not have been sleeping for the last few nights. The other thing I learned is that The Pioneer Woman is the best blog and one of those reasons is because of her print button. Martha Stewart has a nice print button as well but that they would not want to be friends with her because she was in prison. Let me just say Ree this woman is a follower of you for life, though I do fear she may have a shrine up of you somewhere made of print buttons. Let’s hope she looks nothing like you Ree or she might be trying to do a little Single White Female switching action on you. Run Ree. Run. Since she … [Read more...]

“IF YOU WALKED OUT OF BED TODAY AND HAD A JOB TO GO TO, AND A HOME TO COME BACK TO, AND SOMEONE WAITING THERE WHO CARES ABOUT YOU? FOLKS, THE GAME’S OVER, AND YOU’VE WON” –Larry Miller It’s really that simple. People don’t think it is. They get distracted by what they think they need. More like what society tells you that you need. I stick out like a sore thumb in my area. For one thing I don’t wear the uniform as the men who know our area call it. Let me start by saying it’s not an ugly outfit…it’s just that every woman around here wears it or some version of it every freaking day. I walked into the grocery store one time and it was like I was fresh out of the Stepford Wives movie. For those wondering the uniform in question is LuLulemon Black Yoga Pants, a long t-shirt, either a North Face or Patagonia Puffer Black Vest Jacket, Uggs (unless coming from gym then running shoes are acceptable) and usually a Nike baseball hat of some sort (though usually also … [Read more...]

So yeah, in case you didn’t catch on to the picture of my ring MDP and I are getting married! Which is another reason I am working on wedding cakes as I will be making my own this time around (yikes). I’ll just make sure we have a very rustic theme so that the cake will fit right in. And if we get everyone at the wedding to lean (I guess we will serve a lot of alcohol) in the photos no one will notice if the cake leans. :P For those of you who follow me on Pinterest this should come of no surprise that I am getting married. Which if you love the joy that is wedding planning you can follow along and play the Peabody/MDP wedding game at home. :) I will tell you that it will be very laid back but lovely all the same. MDP didn’t get a real wedding his first go around and so he/we want to make sure our friends get to gather around and share our happiness. You my readers have been through it all with me. So many of you write me such wonderful emails (and sometimes crazy ones too … [Read more...]
