S'More Please....

Sometimes when I get a sense of doubt….when that unsure feeling arises….its confirmed when he looks at me at 11pm and positively agrees that going to the store right now for S’Mores supplies is the GREATEST idea ever!!!


Love.... U Rock!!

Weekend Recap....

I survived Friday the 13th…WOO HOO!!! After the whole cupcake massacre I decided it was best I stay in and not venture out into the scary world again. Just when I thought the curse was broken, I started to make a cake for another baby shower for Sunday. I was moving along, things were looking good, I put my cakes in the oven and then I smelled something burning, I rush over to the oven and my cakes had literally leaked out of the pan and are all over the bottom of my oven….it was an UBER FAIL!!! (but that’s what I get for trying out a new recipe)

To my surprise I didn’t freak out, I ate a ton of the crunchy batter in the pan, and just started over. As my mother would say “Don’t sweat the small stuff”, I could have totally stressed myself out, but just rolled with the major punch to my stomach.  In the long run the cake turned out great and no one got killed in the process.

I had my last sewing class on Sunday and we made skirts. This was my final project and couldn’t believe how much I loved how my skirt came out.  I wish I would have taken a closer picture, so you could see the cute little cherries on it.

I also made these little clips for my tank top. (ya, i was been all Crafty!!)  I hate when my bra strap shows and wanted a cute way to cover it up...so Ta Da...


Later that night I went to the fabric store to get some more supplies, and for some reason anytime I would put my sewing stuff down Loco would find it necessary to lie on it. 



It was so crazy, I guess he doesn't like anything else taking my attention away from him. (Sounds like another boy in my life...SIDE EYE!!!) After I was FINALLY able to get him to move off my fabric I  cranked out this other skirt.


The BF and I went and saw the Expendables and it was as CRAPTASTIC as expected!! Let’s just say it was my ultimate Hot Mess Fantasy.

Other than that I also caught up on some “quality” entertainment…Real Housewives of NJ (Danielle works my nerves, I think she is so DRAMATIC) Jersey Shore (Love my SNOOKI!!!!), Teen Mom (Can I just say how much I HATE Gary, and want to punch Amber in the face for sticking with him)

TGIF...

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!!!


My day has already started picture perfect. I spent last night making cupcakes for a baby shower for today and when I was transporting them to the party the STUPID container I had them in completely fell apart and my cupcakes went flying everywhere. I didn’t know weather to laugh or cry. I then had to run out and find another cake, got to the store and realized my debit card was at home.

This has been a true Friday the 13th for me. I am just waiting to be chopped up into little pieces any moment.

The only thing getting me excited right now is knowing were going to the movies this weekend to see this...


I LOVE LOVE cheesy action movies and this movie is like my “Twilight” . I can’t wait to go and see it.

and after getting an amazing haircut, my darling BF looks more like this...


Instead of this....


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!  (And if anyone asks u to go camping tonight...SAY NO...LOL)

Following Through...

Last night I was sitting on the couch looking at my carpet thinking I really should get up and vacuum…did I …NOPE….



I have the best of intentions, I make tons of lists, mark things in my day planner and program things in my phone, but I have the worse problem with following through. I blame my parents and global warming…(it makes me feel better to pass the blame…LOL)

I know eventually I will vacuum (or try to trick Loco into eating everything off the floor), but I wish I knew how to get better with completing things. I have so many projects and plans crammed in my head and I will get the gumption to start something and then slowly fizzle out halfway through.

Does anyone have any suggestions or feedback they can offer for my problem? (Threats don't work...the BF already tried the method...LOL!) 

PS - My new favorite song of the week!

Weekend Recap....

The weekend was so much fun, but I always have a blast when hanging out with my sister.






We did a little mini Tru Blood party for her birthday, which included these Vanilla Cupcakes dyed BLOOD RED with Chocolate Buttercream.






And these (which I made using some labels I created and Cranberry Juice...Watch out Martha!!)



We did a TON of shopping and had frozen yogurt at the cutest shop called "Menchies" 




Then this total CREEPER who worked there started hitting on me (right in front of the BF). The guy was like 100 and kept trying to talk to me, and even when we left the shop to sit outside and eat he actually had the NERVE to come up to our table and start chatting it up. People kill me at what they think is appropriate…to make matters worse the yogurt was not even that good.

We watched some cheesy movies on SYFY one being the “ROCK MONSTER” (no explanation needed, its actually as AWESOME as the title sounds). Then we went and saw “Inception” with the uber dreamy Joseph Gordon Levitt.


The movie was really good, but afterwards the BF was driving us CRAZY with all these conspiracy theories he came up with from the movie…(YES, Major EYE ROLL, we were like DUDE, it’s a MOVIE…Shut up already…Don’t be surprised if you see his theory book on shelves any day now....LOL!!)

I am in my 2nd week of my sewing class and we made pillows, which thought was going to make me pull out all of my hair.  I have come to the conclusion I can't cut a straight line to save my life, but I was STOKED at how my pillow came out.  I ended up giving it to my sister for her room.


Oh ya guess what FINALLY came in the mail....HOLLA!!!

Happy Birthday!!

Today is my younger sister's birthday and she just came into town last night so we could celebrate it up... (JERSEY STYLE!!) !!

 Its funny growing up how much she got on my nerves and how I tried numerous times to talk my parents into getting rid of her....but now many years later I couldn't ask for a better sister or best friend. 

Happy Birthday

Weekend Recap...

So, my little baby is doing Great. The BF took him to the vet for me on Friday and we found out he had an ear infection; they gave us some eardrops and ear wash (that smells like yummy sweet peas) to help it go away. I feel so bad for him, he has not been his normal rotten self, and I can’t wait until he is 100% again.
Surprisingly I spent more on him this weekend than I did on myself. He got a ton of new treats and toys to make his recovery better. We did go to the mall, but I actually left with only one bag.  I saw this....


and it was totally screaming my name, but that $400.00 price tag was screaming WAY LOUDER!!!

Oh, Warning if stop into Bath and Body Works and they ask you to smell their new scent,
which looks like this…


PLEASE DON’T I Swear it actually smells like this!!


We saw “Knight and Day” with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. It was actually pretty funny, and it didn’t make me want to vomit at the sight of Tom Cruise! If you’re looking for a funny movie with action, I would highly recommend it.


We also went to this pizza place called RedBrick Pizza, and it was so medicore. 

 

Dominos would have been better.  At least it looked pretty!


I also took my sewing course and had a blast (other than having to get up at 7:30 on a Sunday…BOO!!)  The place I took it at was called Stitch Lab and it was the cutest joint.  Tell me this place is not darling!!

I was shocked that my project actually came out looking like this.


Next week we will do a pillow, but I have so many ideas popping into my head, and just have to get the Gumption (yes I said gumption) to start making things…PROJECT RUNAWAY here I come (stop laughing people…miracles can happen!!).

PS - Guess who was nice to me in the Stairwell this morning...LOL!
