Greek Tea. No, Not Really.

Tonight The Fiance baked bread. He didn’t much like his creation but I’ve never met a bread I didn’t like. Wait, I take that back. I hate rye bread. Ugh! The Fiance’s bread was a beer bread, very hearty and yummy. Just typing about it is making me want to toast up a piece and [...]

Smackdown At The Salvation Army…

I saw a guy go completely postal at the Salvation Army today. Apparently he (we’ll call him Mr. Dibbs) picked up a silver cup and asked the cashier to hold it for him. The cashier was busy doing other things. I saw the cup, unaware that someone else called “dibbs” on it. I asked to [...]

Today’s Super Annoying To Do List…

It’s nearly 11:07AM and I am still in my pajamas. Oopsie. Off to the shower right after this post. But first… The rugelach is snuggled all safe in their beds… This awesome tin from Holland arrived this morning. I paid dearly for it, but sometimes you have to, when you’re in love. The Fiance kindly washed it up for [...]

Two dorks. One wearing a jaunty beach hat. One cat. One monkey. One bear. One happy weird family. Technically this is my first attempt at making rugelach so please note that it tastes a lot better than it looks. I have to work on the whole “presentation” thing. I put fig jam in them – which is heavenly! [...]

Today’s Master Plan…

1. Bag up more stuff for charity and drop it off. The hope is to DROP OFF more stuff than I buy. We’ll see how that works out… edit: Dropped off 2 bags and only bought 3 ties and 1 book. Success! 2. Make a big pile of cookie dough using Marilyn’s cream cheese dough recipe. Have [...]

Lamp Shade On My Head…

No, not really. Well, not yet anyway. We’ll see what happens on New Years. We’re going to the New York Metropolitan Opera on New Years Eve. I wonder how rowdy that crowd gets…hah! I will surely give my spanx a run for their money on that night. Finally picked up some shades for the Sally’s lamps. [...]

Amish Cocktail Coasters…

I haven’t gotten started on round 3 of the crayon/linen/transfer stuff yet. Today was all about cleaning, packing, driving, unpacking, kittying, grocery shopping (cider donuts!), etc. Just sitting down now…and still have a ton of holiday related debris to sort and put away. Phew. Tired. Don’t mind the stink, the cat sitter threw the cat litter [...]

Me + The Fiance + New Crayons = Mayhem

I was reading the Finger Lakes Blog the other day and she was doing a really cool project with cotton, crayons, tracing & embroidery. She learned of this fun project from Giggleface Studios. After reading more about this, I had to try it. First things first…I screwed up. I know, shocking. Anyone else smell sarcasm? I did [...]

My Favorite Lipstick: FREE Lipstick…

I have a Mick Jagger mouth. OK, not quite that big, but still…I could give Carly Simon a run for her money. I love lipstick. In this economy, I’m not exactly out buying Chanel… Yesterday…I got 2 free tubes of lipstick at Rite Aid. How? Coupons! A few weeks ago the Sunday paper had a coupon for $4 off [...]

When The Talent Gets Cabin Fever…

The Fiance is walking around wearing one slipper. He can’t find the other one. (note: I told him it’s under the bed) He made me what he called “a deconstructed breakfast” this morning. It was a single boneless buffalo wing and a tiny wedge of brie. He also snapped his fingers at me when I didn’t [...]

SG Andy & Silver…And Some of My Holiday Craftiness…

Holiday greetings from Super Gay Andy and Silver (formerly Sylvia). Could these boys be any cuter? and just a tad more catness… For Christmas this year I opted to have the various family names embroidered on tote bags. I filled each bag with the various gifts. It made organizing things soooo much easier. and the gift tags I [...]

My Etsy Cup Runneth Over…

Just spent 20 minutes fighting with the bedroom door. We have no idea how, but somehow the Fiance magically locked the doors together (closet door is near room door) and we couldn’t get them unattached. Assume the knobs were locked in battle. Finally, we freed them. Free at last… Free at last… Speaking of the Fiance…he [...]

And They Called It…Puppy Love…

Come To The Coast…

We’re going to my sister’s house tonight so I’m hoping to get more pics of the pups and possibly a video. Presents? Snacks? Wine? Who cares…there’s puppies!! Later, my family will head to church – and the Fiance and I will sneak off for  our own Christmas tradition. We snuggle on the couch with popcorn & beer and [...]
