Friday & Florida Bound!
It’s here!! Tomorrow I leave for Disney and I cannot tell you about how excited I am!! This vacation is so very much so needed. PLUS, I have never been to Disney before so I am just so beside myself with excitement I can barely contain myself. I am totally going to be like a little kid when I get there. No joke. I have been looking through some of the pictures that Patrick took at rehearsal last weekend for the show and saw this one… All throughout the show there were pictures of all the girls and their loved ones, pets, family members that have passed, those kinds of…

Dark Chocolate Oat Clusters
Hey Everybody! Thanks so much for all your support with my choppin’ off my locks for Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I am just now getting used to the new do. I love how little time it takes me to actually get it ready. I mean going from 15 minutes to 5 minutes to do your hair is phenomenal! The show for Eclipse was this weekend! Everything went pretty well. I think the girls and I danced our hearts out and that is what really matters 🙂 We had some technical difficulties with the individuals who ran the theater, but I think that I our dancing made up for their screw ups.…

For Someone Who Needs it More Than Me.
So…it is official all…I cut my hair! This is the 2nd time I have donated my hair…however this time I have donated it to a different charity than I did previously. My first donation quite a few years back when I was in college was for Locks of Love. Which is a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. I was so happy to give my hair to a child that needed it much more than I did. This time I decided to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Their program…

Quinoa Flakes
I have been totally neglecting my blog here. It is terrible and I owe an apology to RavieNomNoms. My sincerest of apologies, dear friend! My life has been hectic to say the least in the past month and I just doesn’t seem to be letting up AT ALL. Work has been…well to put it lightly. AWFUL! SAP is literally making me want to change my career path at the moment. I am so stressed at work all the time which just makes for some really really long days. I am sure the company will get through it, but right now…it is just frustrating. The new house, which I fall in…

The fact that I will be in Disney at the end of this month! GAH!! You have no idea how much I am anticipating this vacation. I totally need it… Work has been SO stressful lately that all I want to do is run away. Stupid SAP.…

Banana Spice Muffins
Man, what a tornado these past few weeks have been. Most of you know that Patrick and I have been working to get ourselves our first house. We had our home inspection on Monday afternoon. Overall things went pretty well, here and there things that have to be taken care of…but that is a house right? Our major concern was that the inspector said that the roof needed to be replaced. Knowing that the seller was going to be paying all the closing costs, we knew this was going to be a battle. We thought we would start at the beginning and send in a unsatisfactory inspection form to the…

Pancakes for Dinner
Thanks everyone! You all have been so sweet and supportive of Patrick and I with our new house. We are so very excited about it all and thank you all for being excited with us! Every time I look at it I get so excited now! I have to admit that when we first found out that they accepted our offer it was kind of a mix of emotions. I mean…when you buy your first house, it almost like you are saying goodbye to your childhood. I have been with my parents now for a long time and I will be going out on my own now, well with Patrick…

Pinwheel Cookies
OK so I have been totally MIA lately. BUT there is a good reason for it. Well kinda…haha The place I work has been going through a new system called SAP. OH.MY.GOSH. I had no idea how much this would absolutely stop work in its tracks but has it ever. I mean I literally spend all day spinning my tires on one simple thing. It is amazing to me! The problem is the place I work we are soooo very centered on doing A LOT of transactions in a month and we can’t do that much volume anymore with this new system. Really making things stressful and hard to complete…

Zesty Lemon Shrimp Pasta
Ok, so again this being grown up thing? When did this happen? The getting up and going to work thing is overrated. Yea yea, money is nice…but man, if I could just get an extra hour of sleep everyday that would be saaawweeet! To add the grownupness…Patrick and I stumbled across a house that we like and decided to go look at it. One of those things that we drive by it every day to work and decided “what the heck” why not go and check it out just for fun? Talk about your all time backfires. Guess who the dumb girl is that really likes this house is even…

Bunny Booty
Do you ever have those weeks where you wake up on Monday morning and wish it were Friday already??? I am having one of those days today. I’m just not feeling this being grown up and going to work thing. I am so over it. In an effort to try and keep myself at least a tad bit interested in this week, which I have to admit I am failing at miserably haha, I present to you Bunny Booty. No, not THAT kind of Bunny Booty… The sweet kind with popcorn and candy 🙂 This is a recipe that I saw and that was SO cute that I just had…

Carrot Bread
Do you have a show that you love to watch on TV? I am rarely home to watch TV let alone get obsessed with one. Back when LOST was still on, I was an absolute maniac about that show. I started watching it in college and my love affair with that show continued for its entire duration. After LOST went off the air, I really didn’t have anything that I raced home to watch or that I was really upset that I missed. I have friends that are fans of The Bachelor and other reality TV shows like that. I have really never gotten into them. To tell you the…
