the growth

well well well... look at this! we have some growth! when I picked these bulbs from the nursery I just grabbed a whole bunch of different ones and had no idea what was which after dropping them into the bag. so, the next one to bloom will not be the same... kinda exciting...

 the above picture was taken last week. below was taken tonight.

looking forward to what the second bloom will look like :)

i brought my umbrella to a day like this

This weekend was full of sports, entertainment and awesome peeps. Saturday I went to Sam's rugby game. They won! WoOT! It was a beautiful day and guess who brought their umbrella. yep, me. sooo.. now I am just led to belive that if I bring my umbrella it turns out to be a nice day/night and when I dont bring an umbrella it rains. wtf?

 

my parentals and mikey came down to see the rugby game. my pops and mikey showed up to the game in the old boys rugby jerseys sam had left over from the usf rugby game. talk about living vicarousl... after the game we had drinks at danny coyle's and then dinner at brothers bbq. DELISH! 

  

these two clowns thought they should have subbed in the match and were rather upset they didnt get a chance. HA! it was a perfect day to partake in these festivities... ahhhhh.....

My new favorite

Holy crap, this is my new favorite place ever: Butter. How rad is a place that serves 40's in paper bags? I mean come on! How fantastic is that? Sam and I went there to celebrate Kevin's birthday, which was an S&M theme.... ccclllllaaaasssssyyyyy. And speaking of classy:

 

I will quote: "A picture is worth a thousand words."

The birthday cake (made by Kevin's Sister), a brewskie, and popcorn that Sam and I could not keep our hands out of. Its very simple for me, give me free popcorn and I will love you for life. I have come to relize this is one of the ways I decide I like bar or not. Is that bad???

 

You know, our usual antics.

This needs to happen at some point

How rad would it be if you could grow your own garlic? I mean really, they are just like growing bulbs right? Has anyone tried it? I need more tips than just this...

Speaking of planting seeds... I would say its almost time for me to put together my planter of chives, rosemary, and oregano. But, in the mean time I have these tulip bulbs that I am counting on to grow. I might have put them in the container a little early so I am unsure if they are going to grow and actually give me flowers.

 

Only time will tell...

The Cat Castle

 

I snapped the pic right as she is licking her chomps. hahah, she is such a weirdo...

Did I Tell You I Love Pears?

Pretty sure I have told one amazing someone several times and guess what...

 

A Covington Pear Candle. Is there really such a pear in real life? Because I have never seen that variety... But, that is neither here nor there, because this candle is bombtastic! Its perfect timing because I used my other candle so much that its almost gone now.

A Struggle

So I am an obsessive hand washer and this causes me to have the driest hands ever. I struggle with the dilemma of having super dry ichy hands or oily gross lotion-y fingers. A few years back an ex-bf's mom gave me a small container of Shea Butter from l'Occitane. I proceeded to stuff it away in some box that has my cosmetics in it because I had never used the crap before. Since I have recently moved, I went through that box and low and behold I find this damn Shea Butter. I proceed to look up how to use the stuff since its a solid... I had no idea this shiz would change my life so much!

I no longer have to walk around with dry ass, pasty hands anymore! Yahhhhh for me! 2010 is looking like a pretty good year so far, no dry hands, new place, new job, big trips and lots of love! WoOt!

Cheese and Eggs, You know Cheesey Eggs?!

I made three chocolate chip cookies for Tara Lee's Birthday party tomorrow night. Tara's one favorite thing in world is cheese, so I only thought it appropriate to bring cheese to her party. But, she so kindly announced that she was creating THE platter of delicious cheese, therefore we didn't need to bring any.... So I thought I would make cookies for her.... something to offset the saltyness of the cheeseyness.... hehe...

I am excited to visit Tara for her birthday... seems like yesterday we were tearing it up in Vegas for her birthday and celebrating at 3AM with a fat plate of cheesey eggs!

Finished product, and holy cow they are bombtastic!!
