No such thing as too much chocolate…

Ah Cyber Monday, how I love you. In a day and age filled with people not having to interact with each other, I especially appreciate it today. Gone are the days of standing in line outside the Wal-Mart all night to possibly be one of the three people who will get the $100 plasma TV, only to be trampled on. Now I can only virtually be trampled on. I no longer have to deal with playing tug of war over the last My Little Pony and have to listen to some woman go on and on about how her daughter really needs it…so do I woman, this one completes my set. :P No more dirty looks or being cut off or even tackled (I saw that once at a Target at 6am). Though Cyber Monday is not without its draw backs. Sure I get to shop in the comfort of my pajamas and robes, but so do most of the people shopping at Wal-Mart year round :P. But by the time I load my cart up and go to check out, half of the great deals that were there, are now gone. Someone had up and stole it from me and I didn’t get to … [Read more...]

Cakespy Tour and Pop Tart Ice Cream Sandwiches…

So most of you know my buddy Jessie from Cakespy, but you might not know she came out with a whimsical and fun cookbook as well! It’s just quirky and magical, just like her. I was asked to join her Tour de Sweet and jumped at the chance! Jessie and I think a lot alike and without every discussing what the other one is making we literally will have often made almost the same thing…great minds. :) Minus the fact that she can also draw and well…I make some really lovely blobs and squiggles that I call drawings. Just like most artist, my art won’t be appreciated until I’m dead, or so I keep telling myself. If you love Jessie you will love her book. If you don’t know Jessie, head over to her blog and take a look. Her book is of course somewhat like her blog…but a little more unicorn action (not that action) and who can’t use that? I decided I would interview her for my portion of the blog tour she is doing. My interviews are usually less than traditional and I think … [Read more...]

Rolling with it….

After my wedding was over and my vendors sent out their thank you notes for hiring them and a congrats for getting married kind of thing, I noticed a pattern in those notes. It was thanks for being one of the easiest going brides I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I was/am low key, I gave people ideas and in my opinion they did better than what I would have come up with so I would tell them great. And they would panic and say are you sure and I would be like yep looks great. In fact for my florist who as a friend just starting out gave total control to. I told her how much I had to spend and the colors of the wedding. Since I agreed to allow her to do whatever she gave them to me at cost. The only thing I wanted was pink peonies for my bouquet which was the most costly thing due to being out of season. Because I trusted her to do what she needed to do, she put together lush and gorgeous floral arrangements that truthfully would have cost thousands of dollars if it were … [Read more...]

Directions? What are those…

I would definitely say that I am more guy than girl. Oh sure I own frilly clothing from Anthropologie and I know how to bat my eyes while gently pressing my boobs together with my arms to get a free beer but overall I would have to say that I relate and tend to act more like a guy. I am after all a beer drinking hockey player. I would much rather watch sports than make a scrapbook (that incudes golf if those were my two options). I choose beer over wine. I think bacon can be a meal on its own. I do the t-shirt smell test and if it smells alright, then we are good to go. I have a mini fridge in my living room. There is clothing right now in a pile somewhere in the apartment, as well as a wet towel on the floor (don’t worry I will pick it up eventually). And I suck at following directions, of course until I get to the point of realizing I screwed up. :P Case in point these cookies. Yes, those are cookies, not cupcakes. I actually made them to prove a point publically and boy did … [Read more...]
