on an update...

For starters, can you believe Thanksgiving is here?! Thursday. Wow. Time yet again seems to whizz by. Thanksgiving is held at my in laws every year. Love the family huddled around at the table laughing and stuffing our faces with yummy food of all sorts. This year I'll be contributing a vegetable tian along with two different desserts. A pumpkin pie spectacular & an apple-cream cheese bundt cake. I know, you want to be part of my family. I don't blame you. 

Black Friday will be soon after. Most of you will be the shopper where as I will be the one in the mall at 4:30am serving liquid crack to the crazy shoppers (you) because I'm nice. Ah, Black Friday and your peer pressure. How I loathe you! I've had a slight set back this week with a lady who I hired and never showed up for her training this week. Yeah, boo on you! A week before the holiday season, really people? Well, what are you going to do? I was bummed and it's going to be bit tough with either finding another person or just trying to make it work. It.Will.Be.Alright. 


I've started a new book. Matched by Ally Condie. I just started and hooked already! It's about this "Society" were Officials decide everything. Where you work. What you eat. Who you spend the rest of your live with. And even when you die! Crazy right? The main character Cassie has her matching ceremony and finds out she is to be matched up with her best friend Xander. Perfect, well until she notices another guys face show up in the blink of an eye! Who is it Xander or Ky? Does she follow what the Society says is right or goes down a road that no one as ever gone? My kind of book. Best yet, it's a trilogy :) What are you reading?


Last Friday I had a lovely Twilight Marathon sleepover at my place with some girls. We ate ourselves to death with all the appetizer I had. We watch the movies, giggled and goofed around. Although, not going to name any names but there was someone that fell asleep and didn't even finish New Moon. CoughAshleyCough. But I don't judge. A night of just girls. Something I desperately needed.

Speaking of Twilight...I went to see Breaking Dawn Part 1 with Ashley Friday night. I am speechless. The best of all of them and overall the best movie I've ever seen in my life. I know what is a serious statement but I am not even kidding you. The whole time I was in awe. Ashley and I kept looking to the side at each other with wonder. I think after the movie was over and we starting out of the theater both of us were in shock. "OMG that was soooo goo0o0o0od" was said more than a dozen times each. I beg you go see it!


Also made amazing Mint Chocolate Chip cookies after I discovered Hershey's Mint chips at the grocery early this week. They are heavenly. Sebastian and I inhaled way too many of them together on the couch last night, my butt grew but I don't care. It was a sweet bonding moment :D

on some new guilty pleasures...

Here are some new guilty pleasures I'd like to share...

1. Lay's Garden Tomato & Basil chips. So yummy, so yummy in my tummy. I was just browsing at the grocery store and eyed this bag of new Lays and thought I needed to try them out. Let's just say the whole bag is almost gone..with Bobby's help of course :) Try them out man. It's like a party in your mouth!

2. Pepsi Lime. I don't drink a whole lot of soda but I wanted to try this out and I do like to indulge in a carbonated beverage once in a while however it is just soda and I wasn't too impressed. 

3. Kraft Chipotle Mayo. Wanted to add some razzle dazzle to sandwiches. Liven Bobby's lunches up. This stuff definitely did the trick. I think I saw some other type of flavors at the grocery store. It's fun to try something new.

4. Kraft Philadelphia Cooking Creme. I saw this on a commercial last week and once I went food shopping I made a point to pick one up. There were four different flavor at my local store; Original, Italian Cheese & Herb, Savory Garlic, Santa Fe Blend. I got the Italian Cheese. Essentially you can add this stuff to

anything to make a dish. It even came with some fun recipes like Creamy Italian Chicken & Orzo Skillet or Easy Tomato-Basic Pizza. Any who, it will be saved for a raining day so to speak.

Have you tried out anything new lately?

Finally I had a pile of new movies from Netflix waiting in the mailbox this afternoon. One of them was The Legend of the Guardians. Sebastian and I have been very eager to get our hands on it and boy it was such a great movie. Full of adventure and beauty. There needs to be more children movies made like this one. Plus the owls were so pretty. It reminds me of the owl I have outside my window, he hoots in the morning as I get ready for work :)

on a new face...

Meet Mackenzie Foy. Also known as Renesmee, half-vampire-human child of Edward and Bella in the Breaking Dawn that will be out November 2011. Not soon enough! I think they did good with this new face.

Cool huh?!

New Moon

YAY! New Moon is officially out. Don't ask me why I am still up since it is 1:00am but call me crazy. I am just to damn excited. Wierd. I know.

In honor of New Moon here is Robert Pattinson on The Late Show with David Letterman.

So funny. I thought it was great that David brought up the rumor of Robert & Kristen dating and Rob seriously looked like he was about to admit it!! I loved the bit when Rob showed Dave is American accent.

GoOoOoOD NIGHTTT!
