Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... I never had to do _______ again!

I despise all cleaning, really.

The thought of cleaning the bathroom makes me sick, that's J's chore.

Picking up and straightening is not so bad.

I don't mind laundry unless the garage is super cold.

But I cant stand dishes, so I wish I never had to dirty dishes again!

Something about the food bits and everything washed down the sink at once, so gross!

Thank goodness we have a good system and my boyfriend doesn't mind kitchen duty.

Putting away leftovers and unloading clean silverware- I don't mind!

But leftover plates & utensils from dinner plus whatever I cooked it in, I try not to go near!

Wishful Wednesday comes from the Seattle Smith's blog, go visit =)

Why You Bloggin

Blogs are like books. Each post is a page.

Such a variety, there are many out there I enjoy reading...

Mommy blogs, Bride to be blogs, Family blogs, Business/Shopping blogs, Cooking, Decorating...All different kinds!

Nosy? Not. I just like to read!

Plus, through your blogs...

-Recipes. It is so nice to find recipes from all you out there. Dinners, desserts- easy, more difficult, all yummy! Browsing blogs for holiday recipes is my latest kick.

I can always find what I'm looking for...

-A smile. Some posts are heartwarming. Some are aw romantic. Some are "aw cute!" All of those get my smile.

-A jaw drop. Babies crying, kids lost, all those mishaps make me feel a little less clumsy!

-A laugh out loud. Which is the point where my boyfriend looks at me like he knows for sure I am definitely crazy. I prove my not craziness by sharing whichever blog post (maybe yours!?) I was laughing at.

-If you mixed our TV remote in with 50 others, I would say lost for good. J would pick it right out. When I don't really feel like watching UFC, College Football Final, or, Worlds Most Shocking Videos, what am I to do? Ummm... This is where all those lovely blogs out there come in! Were together, side by side..Just I'm watching this screen and he's watching that one. Good trade, and when I'm lucky he'll rub my feet! (fyi: lucky=when I ask ha!)

So thank you for sharing the recipes, the pictures, the funny stories, the sad ones. Thanks for the ideas. Thanks for making me feel less rotten about washing the same load of laundry twice. Thank you for giving me something to read.

So. Open the book, turn the page. Open a tab, read a post. Right? =)

Tuesday's List

Fall Fashion & Accessories.

Boots. On the top of many favorite lists I assume because there are so many cute pairs out there! My VS shoes & accessories catalogue for example. I loveeee mine! (focus on boots please excuse cats paws and my toes) With dresses, jeans, tights...They are perfect...It hasn't been too cold out lately but when it is, I break out the old faithful Uggies. =) Yes that's what I call them.

Zip up sweaters. Simple I know, but not boring-I have been finding cute ones everywhere. Old Navy had a great striped one and another I bought from Target is turning into a favorite.

Beanies. Not on me, no! J is hot stuff in his and I am always trying to convince him to wear it! Ha!

Scarves. & For some reason they look better on everyone else! All the ladies I've seen wearing them look great, but for some reason it takes me forever to give myself the 'outfit OK' when wearing one. But I have a black&white check print that I'm trying to breakout.

Tuesdays list is from this adorable blog that I have been lurkinglooking at...She has this fun Tuesday list thing and some yummy sounding recipes too.

I wish I had more time and energy to list other fall faves, but I am really exhausted! Class, work, no dinner, loooonnggg night class and really no time in between, kicked my butt! I cant wait to sleep but am sad J has to leave early I'll be cold in the a.m without him to cuddle :( Speaking of J, he made me stop typing to watch the Avatar commercial. Looks OK from the previews? I don't know! Nite!

If Looks Were Everything

What is that?

:::

Dark Chocolate Fudge with Vanilla Frosting.

::

My Mom bought stencils from Michael's.

Stencils for Christmas baking. Trees, wreath, etc.

They are supposed to work with colored sugar.

She said they did not. Proof is in the picture.

::::

Is there anything I can do with this now?

She asked me, in regards to the "shapes" left by the not so cool stencils.

She bustled about in a couple drawers.

Layed a cookie cutter down,

And shook her sprinkles.

Into a tree, two stars, and an upside down candy cane.

::

She handed me a fork and said,

Well I'm glad I decided to practice Christmas!

:::::

Me too. Because if this was her actual Christmas cake, oh man!

I love my Mom and her practice cake was yummy ;)

::::::::::::::::::::::::

My arm was batted away as I captured these fabulous decorations.

Dawg

Months of searching states & universities was like walking in a big circle, because in the end I was back at the starting point, with the school I had originally thought of first. Yes, I requested information and looked over numerous admissions pages. So many campuses looked nice. LSU sent me tons of great info...But in the back of my mind, there was always Georgia. Moving to a whole new state is huge, so the slightest bit of comfort I feel is really reassuring. How do you know if its right? Well a visit helps..(were working on finances for that) but actually, applying is the first step of this process. The $60 application, I will complete tomorrow. Applying. Applying, it hit me. I want to apply to UGA because I want to get in to UGA. This is the school I've decided I want to attend, and I'm only starting to feel stronger about that. You see my heart will be broken if this is not possible. My way or the highway kind of thing. You need to apply elsewhere as a backup...No, I don't want to go anywhere else. I want to get accepted there. I want to pack everything up and go start a new chapter in life... in a new state, at a new school, with the love of my life...So...I pray...This time next year, instead of watching on CBS, hopefully I will be at an SEC game because that's the school I attend.

I Just Want To Go To Dallas And Dance

"I'm going to Dallas to dance Mom!"

"What?"

"With Kelli Finglass!"

{chuckling}

Some reason this made my Mom go into a fit of laughter. If you don't know who Kelli is (director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders) because you don't watch my all time favorite show in the world, shes the boss, she calls all the shots and her botox seems to get better each season which is how my mom remembers her. Anyways. I've been following this show for the seasons its been on and I'm pretty much obsessed. How obsessed? If I could have anything in the world, it would be a spot on that squad ha! Dallas' squad is one of the most known in the whole league. They are awesome dancers and cheerleaders, and gorgeous!

"You know, if you want to find out who makes the team you could probably go online and find out."

-The Boyfriend.

Thank you boyfriend but I actually enjoy the program and like watching what happens, not just who gets cut. So the only one that seems to like this show is me. An episode saved on DVR totally makes my night ha! Something Everything about it I love! Starting with the boots that I really don't have words for because they are that cute. And the shorts! White shorts are my favorite and I would love to try and squeeze into those. And all those stars! The cleavage the top creates? The pom poms! Yes, I'd love to get into that uniform and hop around, but I'll stay home on the couch to watch the show and leave the dancin to the pros!

Twice As Nice As Pumpkin Pie

Yummy recipes? Bakerella has got it goin on! The recipe for Pumpkin Pie Bites has been on her site for a while and I had been thinking about making it as Thanksgiving dessert. Well I decided to test run it for Halloween and Ohh My Goodness! Arent they cute? And pretty easy to make! They are so good! And by good I mean bad ha! They are like bite size pumpkin pies that you could eat a ton of! No need for slicing pie just grab one of these! My boyfriend opens the Tupperware that I put them in and picks one out each time he walks through the kitchen! So if J or myself start to look a little heavier around the middle, I think I might know why...Ha! But seriously. Bakerella has some fabulous recipes. I have been wanting to try and make these but I am always somewhere else (bed) when it is prime time breakfast time. Morning sshmorning. One more time can I just say that Bakerella has some great recipes?! I am so looking forward to trying out this one next!

Victoria

As in Victoria's Secret? Yeah, I have an underwear problem...the problem being there are too many pairs of cute underwear out there and I do not work enough jobs to buy them all. Its OK. I take extra long walking by any departments underwear display...my monthly VS catalog (good mail) is always something I'm happy to see, but I was even more excited for the bigger & better first volume of the Christmas catalogue! It came the other day and I got through 39 of 179 lovely pages before putting the catalogue down to process everything I just put on my mental wish list. The bras are cute and everything, but I have my old faithful push ups so I'm kind of more team underwear than team bra. Type of underwear? Not too picky. Hiphuggers, boyshorts, thongs, lace, cotton...Lace is one of my favorites. I don't know if everyone is aware Christmas is in less than 60 days? It has me thinking, what would be cuter, the clothes worn for Christmas or whats underneath? And I think bows are just so cute! Especially this and these. I really hope somebody thinks I was good this year, because I would be absolutely thrilled to receive either as Christmas presents ha! OK so these... Really. Saved the best for last. If its the only link you click from this post . These these these right here. Make sure you get the alternate view you know front and back. Well that's it. Now all I need is $1000 gift card to the lovely store.

Pixie Sticks, Butterfingers, And A Tootsie ROLL!

2009 marks the first year I haven't had a costume! I love love loved dressing up with J the past years, and all my high school Halloweens were so fun! I have to say though, I do miss being young enough to wear my green M&M costume and run from house to house hoping for Butterfingers. But today was fun. My nephew really enjoyed himself, and I enjoyed eating the candy he collected, that I know his mother wouldn't want him to have anways... So...My costume-less Halloween was fun! J took me to lunch and we watched a little football...Then I just got ready for the few trick or treaters that we had and made a yummy dinner, and desert (which actually deserves its own post :) Happy Halloween!

Your Cute, But You Think Your Blazing Hott.
