Happy Holidays & Give-A-Way!

Merry Christmas! I am taking a blogger-vation til Monday because of the holidays! However, I am excited to announce that there is an exciting give-a-way going on over at Marisa Cherie's Blog!

Click HERE for more details!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!

Holy Late Sleeper!

It is 10:20 and Jacob is still sleeping! So in honor of the sleepy head and me not feeling like doing a load of laundry, I am going to post pictures of him that I haven't posted...courtesy of my sister's facebook page :)

Today, we are baking a cake! Excitement! I love baking with my Jr. Baker!

Brittany Murphy

Last night my sister came over to watch this intellectual masterpiece with me

It was in tribute to

I was saddened when I heard of her passing. I first watched her on Almost Home, a spin off/ continuation of The Torkleson's. I loved that show!

The night I heard she died, I instantly decided I had to watch

It hit me on the way home from Steve's (where I heard of her death) that both Brittany and Daisy died in bathrooms. Later, I was talking to Steve about it it and he said he also realized that too. It is a sad loss. To  many more Brittany movie nights :(

Girl Talk

Last night was Girls Night In with Stephanie and Melissa! It was a ton of fun, we played

It was a blast from early 1990's past! With the help from my Hello Kitty Boom box, we were on our way to game night glory! We played for hours and giggled our way to finding suitable partners for not only our characters, but also ourselves!

We came up with a new term, see Gurt up there...that dashing young thang is a female but we actually thought she was a fellow! However, the way you use the term has nothing to do with gender, it has to do with a mood, feeling or just an overall tone...example:

• I feel so gurt today, I stubbed my toe today on my dresser!
• Gurt! I am so bloated now because I just digested too many crackers!
• See that girl over there? Her bf is really Gurt, she could do better, she could score a Brad.

Game night success! We just need to find Mall Madness now!

How to know if I love you: When You Come Over To My House...

 I love you if...

• I cooked for you
• I cleaned the toilet for you
• There is no cat poop in the litter box when you arrive
• Entertainment is provided
• Jacob's toys are not scattered everywhere!
• I am not decked out in "mom clothes" all evening.
• The evening doesn't end at Jacob's bed time!

Girls night in tonight! Cannot wait!

A girl can dream: I will be crafty and I will do so with a Hello Kitty Sewing Machine!

I have wanted a Hello Kitty sewing machine for years now...this desire has gotten worse now...I saw one at Big Lots for $30.00 the other day. I read some reviews and they were mediocre because  the one I saw was in toy section,meaning it was a kids toy. This is unacceptable! My dreams of being a world class seamstress will not be shattered by this toy! (Totally just kidding!) So, I did some more digging....

This beauty is found at Target! It is around $110.00 and it is NOT a toy! It has good reviews for a beginner like myself. I did dabble in home economics in Jr. High but I didn't fair well in the sewing section...I did excel in the baking class...which is probably why I have a food blog and not a sewing blog!

However, this discovery has now caused my mind to dream. I now envision:

• Ugly dolls and toys made for Jacob and other children I know.

• Making adorable  aprons

• Beautiful dresses created from lovely patterns

The possibilities are really endless, once I start, I may not be able to stop. I may make a tea cozy, pot holders etc. I know I wont have this this holiday season, but maybe I will be asking for this for my 25th b-day!

Tiger's Wood

I saw this on  Perez Hilton and I laughed so hard! I just thought I would share this with you all. I dont feel bad for Tiger  at all, the only people I feel bad for in this scandle are his wife and children.

Temple Lights

Last night we went to see lights at The Temple. It was beautiful. Jacob loved looking at the lights.

Jacob looks like he is sleeping in the picture, but I assure you, he didn't sleep at all on this outing :)

The purple lights were my favorite! I hope to go back next year!

Steve & Jacob

This is how it is when the guys in my life get together...big smiles :)

New Do

I am sporting a new hair color! It is a multicolored red and whoever knows what else color :)

I got tired of the black and needed a change and a new cut...well a trim :) Thank you holiday money and Festivus! I think I look kind of like a calico cat, Jacob called me Cardinal head, which is a compliment because he loves the Arizona Cardinals.
