Day 13 - A Fictional Book

I know I'm gonna come off like SUCH a gamer nerd...but... Despite the fact that Halo is a bitchin' video game, it also has a very interesting storyline in all of their books (they have several different titles out).  Editorial Reviews Product Description The official novels of...

Day 12 - Something You Are OCD About

I actually had to ask Eric what I'm OCD about considering I can't really think of anything off the top of my head. When I asked him, he instantly said, "Your sunglasses. You're VERY OCD about them".  Now that he mentions it...yeah. I'm very OCD about them. They are ALWAYS with me, even when it's...

Day 11 - A Photo of You Recently

I haven't really been taking any pictures of myself lately. I'm rather self conscious since I've put on some weight...and seeing how I have a round face as is, the extra weight makes me have a moon face. Not a fan.  This pic was taken...hmmm.... late October? Yes, of this year.&nbs...

Turkey Love

Sorry I'm not writing too much in this particular post, but I wanted to show you how my turkey turned out for Thanksgiving :) I soaked it overnight in salt water, then gave it bacon creole injections while it was roasting for about 6.5 hours (the stuffing was a mushroom concoction) . It was SO tender!...

Fantastical Turkey Chili

Since Eric made me roast a small child (19lb turkey ), I have tons of leftovers and I can't really keep having one Thanksgiving meal after another (turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry, green beans..over and over and over again). So, I figured I'd make some spicy turkey chili :) Eric, John and...

Day 9 - A Photo You Took

I love this picture. Love love love it. It's from my driveway over looking the horse pasture, taken around November last year. My Dad actually likes it so much that he had printed on a large canvas and it's in his dining room. Plus, I've had several people contact me about it and they've had prints...

T-Day!!

'Tis that lovely time of year where everyone gorges themselves silly on turkey (or ham) with all the trimmings! Spend time with our friends and family, have fun holiday memories (or nightmares). Either way, it's a four day weekend! Ha!  This year, we'll be spending Thanksgiving day with some...

Day 7 - A Photo That Makes Your Heart Melt

I can't really think of a photo that melts my heart, but I know of a video that does!  I know it probably seems silly for a commercial to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but this reminds me SO much of my dogs. They all have a BoBo (all different kinds, all different colors)and usually end up sleeping with one. Pretty much, imagine four dogs passed out randomly throughout the house..all...

Μπακλαβάς!

I <3 Baklava! I rarely ever have it because it's so saturated with honey (and fatness), but I figured I'd give it a shot and try to make some since it's not something I see hanging around the grocery store. And..I don't wanna go to a Greek restraunt just for dessert.  I read "Closet Cooking"...

Christmas Markets - Part Duex

Last year, I made my rounds to several different Christmas markets between Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands. My absolute favorite from then was Aachen, Germany cause I managed to score some pretty cute stuff (here's the post from last year: Hood-Tastic ).  Here's another post talking about...

Day 6 - Twenty of My Favorite Things

So, I don't know if it has to be THINGS, or if it can be people and other living things. Oh well, let's get rolling: #1: My family. Really, need I say more?   #2 : My pets. They ARE my kids!  #3: My best friend. I met her back in 2001 through an old boyfriend. Even though we don't get to...
