Three things I like

5:03 PM


Makeup. Fun bright eye makeup. MAC Cosmetics is my weakness. Here is my overall makeup.


I am sort of embarrassed to show I have that much makeup. But what I tell people is I wear a uniform to work, so makeup is how I can express myself. It’s not for everyone, because I am sure most women aren’t going to wear the fushia color below.


And the MAC ads get me everytime. They are always so bright and fun, how could I not want to buy it ALL.



Cupcakes. Most of you know my obsession with cupcakes. So when I saw these two shirts, I want, I want, I want.




A friend of mine who is also cupcake crazy, gave me this ornament. It’s housed with all my toys, so it can be on display all year. Here is a blog I follow just about cupcakes.

Toys. I like blind box toys. These are the ones you buy and it’s a surprise on the inside what exact toy you’re getting. Some are rarer than others.



But now Disney is in on this whole blind box thing, and it kills me. I haven’t started because I know one, I don’t have the room and two I’d have to track down so many, and the cost. Oh the sadness. But I did buy a backpack, so I can feel like I’m apart of it.


Wow, I sound like I’m 7, makeup part included. Little girls love bright stuff, and so do I. What do you like?

PS. You know what, I didn't wreck my manicure today as bad as I thought I would.



Just one of them days

6:05 PM


Today is one of those coveted do nothing days. All the housework is done, and I have no errands to run. There is always laundry to do, but that’s one of those chores you can put off, for a little while longer. Anyway, these days are wonderful.

I started out and rode my bike in doors on the trainer today, even though I had time to ride outside. I was really trying to kill two birds, one stone and catch up on all my shows on the DVR.

My show of choice while riding, Oprah or Oprah behind the scenes. Maybe it’s the show of choice because it’s the one I have the most episodes of since it’s on everyday. Fact: I record Oprah everyday. Use to do the same with Rosie (and excited she is coming back.). I will watch the first 10 minutes and I can delete it or keep watching, but at least I have it. I know so many people hate Oprah, dude I am just watching to be entertained. She makes me laugh, her shows make me cry, and I too jump up and down on Favorite Things day, even if I am jealous. She can get really interesting people to talk on her show and brings up interesting things, why hate?

But anyway, speaking of gifts from Oprah. I got one!!!! This package arrived for me last week at work. So I know it says Oprah Magazine, but let’s pretend that Ms. O packed this gift bag especially for me.

Inside there was the picture frame, Oprah Magazine, a book and a very lovely O necklace. And if I wear the O necklace not everyone is going to know what or who it stands for. Looks just like a piece of expensive Tiffany’s jewelry right?


The back-story of why I received this bag of goodies is at work every co-worker had the ability to team up with others and propose a project that would improve the lives of those in their community. Each store could send off three proposals and then the whole country (just employees around the country) could vote on which 5 they wanted to win $10,000 for that proposal. Guess what, my group won!! We are in the midst of getting this awesome project finished, mid-May, and so Oprah’s life coach Martha Beck, talked to us and then sent us these bags. Fun right? It feels awesome to give back and help out. I’ll blog more about this project once complete, we don’t want to take away from it until complete.

So now here I am, hubby is sleeping, Ceasar is lying at my feet, and I just painted my nails.

I will post of picture of what they look like tomorrow. I can destroy a decent manicure (I am not good at painting my nails, I wish I had someone to always paint them, and the hubby already said NO) in a day or less at work. And tomorrow is a remodel, so I’m sure they will be wrecked. But at least they looked good now right?

FOOD!

5:19 PM


I love food! Good food. It showed back in high school that I like food a little too much. Sweets that is. I do like other food, but sweets are my downfall. Thanks Dzdzius (thats grandpa in Polish, he's the sweet-a-holic in the family).

But I do love food in general. I think though I have a socialist way of looking at food...don't hate me yet. I think the staples that keep us alive should be free. Bread, Milk and the like, however if you want to get fancy, then ya you pay for it. The hubby and I like good, well prepared and presented food. We like going out to nice restaurants and enjoying a great meal. A lot of those great meals we take pictures of. Here are a few.

Bento boxes in Japan at Epcot. Hi hubby.

Chicken Tostadas in Mexico at Epcot.

A burger on a soft pretzel with tots on the side in Atlanta at the Vortex.

Cheese, one of my favorites as an appetizer at the Flying Fish at Disney.

Chicago deep dish, where else but Chicago.

BBQ in Atlanta...

At our favorite spot, Mellow Mushroom. The Capri sandwich.

Mahi at Bluezoo in the Dolphin hotel at Disney. Yes Disney is the trend, they have really well prepared and yummy food.

I do like cooking at home. I am a follow the recipe to the T kind of girl, while hubby likes to improvise and add stuff. I am too afraid I'd mess it up. And I am not one of those people that can just throw stuff together and have it be a wonderful fullfilling meal. Nope, it's got to be a recipe. But I am pretty daring when it comes to recipes. I have done shepards pie from scratch, a good meatloaf was my first meal I cooked the hubby. But I bet you can't guess what I like cooking over just normal meals? Yup sweets. Love to bake, and make goodies. But again, I need a recipe, and most of the time I will bake eat a little of it, and take the rest to work. Yes my work people love me. Here are some of my creations.

Belgian Waffles, with Frosting. Okay so we improvised this one. The Belgian Waffles are made out of cookie dough.

Shepherds Pie!

Soup with Cheddar cracker. I can't even recall what soup it is now.

Pumpkin cupcakes, and my halloween touch, Hershey Kisses.

However, I think my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Gasp, yes out of all those fancy and nice dinners, I would give them up, just for breakfast foods. Biscuits and Gravy, Omelets, Cereal, the list could go on and you can do it so many different ways. Yea, if I had to pick one meal to always eat, it would be breakfast. You can do sweet breakfast or normal, you can do fruit, eggs, meat or no meat. The possibilities are endless.

Oatmeal with blueberries and honey. If I am trying to have healthy breakfast.

Pumpkin loaves for breakfast.

Biscuits and Gravy at Brians in Orlando. Anyone know if they are going to reopen, ever?

Hungry yet?

So I am asking you, if you had to only eat one meal a day, which would it be?

BTW, I was going to blog on the Royal Wedding, but I am sure you are overloaded on that by now. You can thank me in cupcakes. :) *Note that I originally wrote this post on Friday, but had no time to post it, hence the Royal Wedding reference.
