NaBloPoMo Day 9...Thanksgiving Meal Planning

Yes it is 2 weeks and 1 day until the biggest food holiday of the year.  Have you plotted out your game plan for Thanksgiving yet?  Well, have you????  I have my menu planned out, I just need to make my shopping list and map out when I am cooking what.  I am hoping to get all the baking done ahead of time and make most of the side dishes put together the day before.

Here is my menu ( I also have the right to change it)

Goat Cheese log with pistachios and cranberries
Caramelized Onion Dip
Roasted Turkey Breast
Prime Rib Roast
Green Salad
Cheddar and Jalapeno Dressing
Sweet Potatoes w/ pecans
Green Beans with Bacon Vinaigrette
Homemade Mac and Cheese
Parker House Rolls
Cranberry Sauce
Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake
Pecan Bourbon Pie
Maple Pumpkin pie

Sounds good doesn't it, I think so.  So what do you have on your menu and do you stuff the turkey???

Last Day of NaBloPoMo and I was an utter fail

So, I wasn't good at posting everyday, but I tried.  I sometimes posted twice daily doesn't that count for something.  I never really knew it could be so hard to figure out something to write about but it was.  I really couldn't just put everything out on the table could I, I need to leave you with some mysteries about me.  So I failed yet again to complete a goal that I set out for myself and it makes me feel like crap, but I will bounce back and continue to bore you with happenings of me, my family and friends.  I will be doing cookie recipes this month because I absolutely love cookies and usually only bake them at Christmas time.  I will also be regaling with stories of my anxiety ridden behavior around this time of year. Christmas stresses me out beyond belief so there will be plenty of Girls nights out and drinking, plus loads of shopping in which I am planning at this very moment. 

I have one request from my readers, If you have a favorite cookie recipe send it to me and I will put it on my blog next month.

I love all my readers so if you read my blog follow it and make me feel the love.  Ok I think I am juiced on the happy pills today.

Where does all my time go...

Quote of the day: Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it is useless-Thomas Edison

Today is Friday my lovelies and I am sitting here on the sofa drinking my daily cup of coffee with my peppermint mocha creamer and reflecting over the week and let me tell you I really got nothing accomplished this week except for laundry and it is not all folded so that's not even done all the way. I relish the thought that I spend too much time on the computer and not enough time doing anything else. My laptop could be permanently attached to my lap because that is where it stays most of the time. Between Facebook, twitter, Fan Fiction and looking at Rob Porn I really spend too much time on the internet but really what else would I really want to do with my time, oh yes there is shopping for purses, shoes and clothes, home accessories, browsing Itunes(which is an addiction all unto itself. Speaking of shoes and purses, I am trying to find the perfect boots for fall and winter what do you think about these.






Yep my time is consumed by scrounging the internet for for all these things, I can't help it, it is what I do, plus you get the benefit of looking at them on here and don't need to search for them. Lovely huh.

Ok I know you all need your Rob porn fix today and let me tell you there has been a plethora of it out there this week between the Vanity Fair pics to Harper Bazaar so here is a taste


and I can't forget Jackson, he is a cutie too.



I will be posting my daily Thanksgiving recipe later today, I need to go do something productive right now

Random Wednesdays...Day 4 NaBloPoMo

Well today is wednesday and it is the 4th day of NaBloPoMo and I have to say that coming up with stuff to blog about everyday is slightly difficult. I would normally blog and post stuff about RPattz or New Moon but since I am on a New Moon embargo I can't do that, but the pics that came out yesterday for Harpers Bazaar were kinda nice. KStew's wardrobe choices, which I know wasn't up to her, was questionable.



The kids got out of school at noon today so my schedule is all screwed up again and now the afternoon is shot because I won't be able to get anything done with them around, maybe I will shoo the boys outside and make them stay out there all afternoon so I can reorganize the playroom to the playroom/my workspace/workout area. That is a lot of uses for one area but it is the only free area in the house, if the boys would just learn to put up their toys after they are done it wouldn't be so bad, yeah that's going to happen. I have got a question for you: If you can use one area in your house just for you what would you make it? Leave me your answer in the comments.

This song was playing while I was writing my post today, it suits my mood

Satellite Heart Video...

This is one of my favorite songs off of the soundtrack.


'Satellite Heart' Anya Marina

Anya Marina | MySpace Video



Yes my Embargo on all new New Moon Footage is still intact but it has been hard with all the new scenes and the Twitter pimping of them, I couldn't even watch the Volvo commercial footage because of new material in it. Only 16 days, that is my mantra. I am just glad the Satellite Heart Vid had no footage that I haven't already seen.

16 days, 16 days...

Mondays...weekend recap

Good Morning everyone, I hope your week is starting out great. Mine could be better but I will try to look on the brightside of things for now. 1. It is a beautiful fall day here in Central Texas, nice and cool, clear blue sky, 2. The kids are out of the house today so it is quiet here after an eventful and loud weekend 3. Today is my Hubby's birthday, Happy Birthday Love, your older than I am, ha ha and finally 4. Did you see the Vanity Fair photos of my Crush, Rob could you get any sexier, they made my weekend.







I would also like to say congrats to UT on a stellar win against the OSU Cowboys, it was a fantastic game, keep it up and YOU COULD GO ALL THE WAY!!!!

The kids had a great time trick or treating this weekend and ran around like banshees because of the sugar high until about 11 that night and then proceeded to wake up at the crack of dawn because of the time change and yesterday seemed like the longest day ever, I thought it was never going to end and then I couldn't fall asleep so really it didn't end for me, but I slept in a little this morning. I will post again later today with a Thanksgiving recipe, It will be a turkey one, starting with main dishes this week. Talk to ya'll later
