Fun!

Just saw my mints on Bake It Pretty!  Over the Christmas holidays I made these:

I took the pic with my cell phone so it didn't pick up the colors so great, it was way more blue.  Anyway, the snowflakes are a butter mint recipe that I found off  Bake It Pretty.  She talked about her grandmother making those mints for weddings and I was like, "OMG!  So did mine!"  My grandmother would make the leaves and roses.  I remember her making them and lining a Tupperware container with wax paper and layering them in.  We (girl cousins) only got one if there was no room left.  So it won't surprise you to learn that when I made them I kinda gorged and made myself sick.  Later I made dough again and divided it up, colored one green and one red and then added coconut flavoring to one and raspberry to the other.  DELISH!!  Then I got the bright idea to just make vanilla "mints"  (thanks mom)! I bought a flower mold and made several bright colors.  To see those check out the Bake It Pretty Blog.  I am #6.  :-)  And by the way, if you are not reading the Bake it Pretty blog regularly, you are totally missing out!

Life without....

I ofter wonder how we ever lived without certain things. My list includes my cell phone, dvr, bath and body works wall flowers and my stainless steel thermos. I wil now add this:

Apartment Therapy the blog I talked about in my last post featured this: AQUA NOTES!! I think that I need them and can't live without them. Seriously. And as I am preparing my Christmas list, you will probably get one too! :-)

Craziness

Before I can tell you what I really want to talk about I need to let you know a bit of history....

Carlos told me that I should use google reader for all my blogs I check. So I do and I love it. One of the blogs I subscribe to is Apartment Therapy. Now this blog is crazy cause it posts 60 times a day...and since I have about 30 other blogs I subscribe to thats about a 100 blog posts in a day. I really cant read that many posts even if all I do is just scroll thru them. Needless to say I am pretty behind (I had 584 blog posts in my reader today and over 500 were from AT) But since I had some extra time I decided to read all my blogs. And that's when I saw THIS PIC (a month late but oh well):

Okay - so what I want to tell you is that I think the fact that someone can make their own ice rink in their back yard is nuts. I mean wow. I just don't think I am well-traveled cause that would have NEVER crossed my mind. All I think about putting in my back yard is a pool. LOL!! I really love the ice rink idea. So if Carlos ever up-roots me like he is seriously considering and we move somewhere very cold, we are totally doing this. So all my Texas friends/family, check out this HOME HACK from APARTMENT THERAPY and imagine....me falling on my booty...but I would get better at it and then I could play HOCKEY.

I highly recommend AT cause its got such great design/decor ideas.

Here is a little tip/trick I use when I am reading stuff on the net and stumble across a pic of something awesome/unique. I have a folder on my desktop called IDEAS (so clever) and I always (for you pc users) right click on the pic and just save it in the folder. Then I can always go back and look at the pictures for ideas on different things. :-)

Sneak Attack

First what you need to know is that we got a scanner that scans negatives and turns them in to digital pics....so I will probably be posting older pics for a while. Ok - now onto my sneak attacks! I always am trying to snap pics of Carlos when he isn't looking. But he is so good at catching me and hiding. Sometimes I get lucky and get a"good one". The problem with digital cameras is those are more likely to get deleted but these will live FOREVER!!

Threats...

I've been receiving threats recently. From family members. Yes, I know its shocking but its so true. This is the most recent one:

hi lady,
um, I love you but if you don't take the photo of me....................off ...... I might have to find some naked baby photos of you. :)
i off to find a photo of you in a bonnet or something.

But I am not afraid - I am fearless. I am also wise...and I took off that offensive photo but I saved it and three others I have that were WORSE and am not afraid to use them. So this is just my own little warning: any bonnet photos or naked pics that anyone out there has need to stay safely in their phtoto albums away from the "public" eye.

Love,

Your friendly neighborhood blogger
