Have your cake and Eat it too !

Lets Ring in the New Year the right way !

The birds do it, the bees do it, so by golly lets do it !!!
But let's do it the right way- no phony lines or build ups- just let it happen as it needs to. You can do it with a friend, a best friend, or a whole bunch of friends, anyway you want to just go for it....fall in love <3
Let yourself fall completely in love with someone, If you've already found love, reunite, let yourself fall over and over again. I've been completely in love for 3 years now, and I know that may not compare to a Romeo and Juliet or Allie and Noah story but I've found love, and in all the right places. I can't ever hide my happiness, it overwhelms me everyday and that's the way that love is supposed to be. Let the New Year fufill you and let your heart take the reins for once, grab your husband, fiance, boyfriend, good friend, best pals, first mate, or your puppy anyway you go about it just make sure you do it the right way. Life's to short to let your head talk you out of something that can be completely right for you. I'm gonna fall in love again this year and every year after that. Prince Charming consumes me and always will :) (such a cornball ah haha) Take a Risk. Fall in Love. Ring in the New Year with Romance <3

And here's a few movies to help cure your hangover New Years Day and put you in the right mood for a fantastic start in 2009 :)

XOXO

Whats in your WalMart Cart ??

Well I'll show you what was in mine recently......

Ho Ho Ho

Only three of the thousand words I wanted to shoot at my boss this afternoon-
I only wish this happened in person and a couple of birds would've been flying in her direction!
I just arrived home last night after a lovely day of Christmas shopping (serious face) and was all in all full of Christmas Spirit- anyway I had a day full of plans for today, get some gas- order a special Christmas present for Prince Charming I wish I could tell you all what it is (such a fabulous idea for your significant other, so cute!) but he tends to read my blog when i least expect it hehe---order the present and go to my roommates Lia Sophia jewelry party (Estatic face)

So i woke up had a delish bowl of Fruity peebles and some java--took a shower and hopped in my little red car and took of to place my order when i returned I called Limited Too where I have worked for over a year now at the outlets and asked my boss for my schedule for the upcoming week--- to find that ratface (oh my excuse me, I'm very peeved)to find that my no good selfish snotty way to perky in the morning demanding jerk of a boss replaced me--- however she said it somewhat like this....Oh yeah actaully abotu that --the schedule-- (spit it out hunny) ummm yeah I have a lot of staff right now cause i had to hire some girls at Thanksgiving (come on, come on) and now i have too many employees and many people have just on call shifts and those girls are my priority cause they've been here...so yeah i dont think i can put you on for much of the season---
WHAT!?
Those girls are your priority I've been working there longer than YOU HAVE you selfish bit**-- I started a mnth after the store opened last year- this chick has only been there since May and your giving High School girls that have worked for you for only 2 weeks the hours over me who has been there and saved your ass when you needed last minute floor sets multiple times this summer and helped you out when you needed it ---and I ******* get the shaft-- I almost wish she fired me, I was insulted !!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ! ?

I'm in college, hence I'm broke and in case you didnt notice Christmas is about 3 weeks away and these 2 week girls get my job ! They work all year long-- I am home for a month--I take 21 credits of classes I can't work at school !
I need the money and you give them the hours over me ! WHAT IS THIS !?
and of course yo can't find a job this time of year all teh help has been hired !

Let me tell you all the day she calls and asks for help--shes gonna ge ther ass handed to her ! No doubt ! Bit**

So after the infuriation ended i travelled to my roommates house in teh blistering cold and wicked wind-- she had a fabulous party -very successful too I might add- almost 1500 dollars earned :)
So she gets 40% of that in FREE Jewelry :0 fantastic jewelry too if you don't know what Lia Sophia is :)
Anyway so that was a very exciting thing for her and the rest of us girly girls
I'm throwing my Lia Sophia in January Can't Wait !!!!
YAY !
So as I was leaving ina great mood from spending the afternoon with some of my girls
I should haev known then that it was all too good to be true!!!
So my car decided to lock up on me-- the key wouldn't work in teh ignition!
It wouldn't turn ! It was literally stuck---like um nothing worked !
If you could only imagine my frustration-- I shook it- checked everything possible--rocked the car- checked the wheel-the breaks --WTF !?
It was not working !!!!
Really I wasn't prepared to deal with this !
I went back in to Col's house and asked for her helped- we rocked, we shook, we turned,w e checked ! WE FRROOOOZE !!!!!
Ugh!
So finally after about an hour I called my dad-- he said to do everything I already did --no help, and no luck !
Yuck !
SO after another 30 minutes or so Dad came to my rescue-- yet I guess not cause it didnt work-- he came all prepared with things- torches haha, matches, WD40 haha everything ! Nothing worked !
The damn thing is so infuriating--- i was like honestly is this really happening
After another hour- we left, with no car--
Um so needless to say I have no job- no incoming money-very little money to work with-thank god my Christmas Shopping is pretty much done- and oh yeah no car !
So i can't go find a job right away either- thank god for online apps I got one or two in at least

Whatever --thats all i have left to say
oh wait and, Dear life, STOP SUCKING !

Not to many X's and O's
so im not so sure if you can BelieveInMe<3g>

Mini BLT's

Sooo delicous---PERFECT for a party dish-- Excellent finger food-
and so fast and easy to make :)

All you need is lettuce, tomatos, sour cream, nice juicy bacon, and little bread bagettes

You need to chop/shread the lettuce
dice the tomatos
fry up that wonderful bacon and chop it into small pieces
find a nice big plate
plop lots of sour cream in the middle
surround it with lettuce all around the edge of the plate
top lots of tomatos on the sour cream
the bacon goes on top of that
then line the edge of the plate with your bagettes
WONDEROUS !

Your Set :)

XOXO

Food for Thought

Dear Sysco Driver,

You suck! I would like to sincerly thank you for waking me up every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 4:00AM---NOT ! I have 9:00am class ad I don't appreciate your accessive beeping---its quite rediculous, NewsFLASH there is no one awake this early so its safe to say that no one is eating or in need of your services at such an early hour ! Irritating ! The worst thing is your BEEPING never ends---it continues for about 45 minutes-- um there are only 1000 people at this school what in the world can you be doing for 45 minutes- WE dont eat that much food- So stop your annoying BEEPING and leave--- Another thing-- with there being no one awake at 4:00 AM there in turn is no one around that needs to be warned of your backing up--- I certainly don't need to be awakened from slumber to your arrival and and warning that your large truck is in motion !
Thank you for not caring

Sincerely (to be nice) but with no regard of resepct....
Awakened and Pissed College Student!!!

Home <3

<3

Where I belong...

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.


Love love love that song-heard it in the shower a few minutes ago--it really makes me think of how blessed I am to have such wonderful people in my life..because to me it doesn't matter where i am, if I'm with the people that mean the most to me---I'm always home :)
I've deicded I belong at home and not physically home but with the person that feels like home to me-- and wherever you go is where I belong :)
College gets old sometimes for sure and the faces and drama sure get old--- and I'm glad I'm going home <3

Sweet Dreams :)

Big Wow's on the Tube :)

So..... as you SHOULD know, The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is on tonight at 10:00 PM EST on CBS :) I personally can't wait, I can't ever get enough of these beautiful ladies... so in love with Alessandra Ambrosio :) I find the outfits during the show to be absolutely captivating so amazing, their amazing bodies don't hurt either (giggles)
and I don't know about you but I'm an a little on the edge waiting to see this 5 MILLION $$$$$$ Bra !!!
WHAT !? Crazy Right ! It's strange though I find myself oddly wanting it.... UMMMM NO !
Hope you all tune in its sure to be an amazing show as always :)


and right before DONT MISS THIS.....


NBC is showing the annual lighting of the tree at Rockefeller Center! 8:00 PM Tons of performers singing some of their hits and Christmas songs :) Hopefully we will be as blessed tonight as during the Macy's Day Parade to see, The Radio City Rockettes. Their Christmas Shows are Spectacular. I've only seen them on TV, I'm generally in a trace watching them dance-- so beautiful-- I hope to see them in NYC some year
.... a few weeks ago when I was there they had a show and the line waiting to get in spanned about 10 city blocks !!!!
They were great this year on Thanksgiving so hopefully we see them tonight :) It sucks to be in a dorm watching it instead of at home in my comfy chair with hot coccoa next to my beautiful tree :( Some day I will :)
But the closest I'm going to get to comfort is going to late night Pizza with my roomie and chowin down on some buffalo wings and sippin some diet coke while I watch the lighting :) YAY ! (I'm filled with thrills)

So it's sure to be a good night so if you have the chanceto watch them or either.... enjoy! It's sure to get you in the Holiday Spirit !!!!

I've missed my bloggerfriends----
I'm back and whatta weekend ! Honestly so crazy !
So much happened in the few days I was away from Bloggaland !!!
So you can expect to hear allll about my weekend this week-- from crazy Black Friday Shopping to Tree Decor this year, yummy recipes and of course family stories and fun :)

So this weekend---I had so many things to do and not enough time to do it !!! Pheeew !
And Black Friday !! WOW !!
So crazy----Thanksgiving is definitely a crazy time of year- all the cooking and baking and then shopping on top of it ---speaking of Thanksgiving Cooking we had fried turkey this year-- I was quite sceptacal at first spiting witty comments in my initial disgust about jsut eating at McDonalds-- America is fat enough and then we take a tradition of home cooked turkey and FRY IT !
I'm saddened to say I've been dragged to the dark side the fried turkey was AMAZING !
Litterally melted in your mouth-- as with all my other family recipes I can't let you haev this one either :(
But the turkey was injected with a creole butter seasoning (which combined is like a cajun but not to spicy buttery flavor of deliciousness) and then rubbed down with a garlic and herb spread-- also fantastic :)
Well let me tell you after all these fabulous flavors were put together and then fried-- I just have to tell you-- one of the best turkeys I have EVER tasted :)
We went shopping at midnight when the malls opened for madness and put up the tree and decorated it and of course watched movies Friday night :)
The Polar Express ! Loooove It ! Christmas with the Kranks !! Excellente !
