It’s Slurpee season

This weekend has been very chill. Yesterday we went and helped Terence’s parents pack and move some stuff into their new house.

After that we came home, took showers and headed to The Outback to have some dinner and a bloomin onion. Oh those things are one of life’s greatest pleasures!

This afternoon we went out and had brunch at a local restaurant and shopped around a little bit. I am trying to talk Terence into getting a pedicure-tell him there is no SHAME in a man getting a pedi right? Later on I discovered where I sat in the restaurant someone had just placed their chewed gum right under where my rear was sitting! UGH! Terence had to pick gum off my booty and his car before we walked into the store! So mad! Why people…why?

We went to Sur La Table-I love this store-it’s a kitchen paradise! I am thinking for the winner of the BAKE OFF I may go get some goodies from Sur La Table! Stuff like THIS…THIS…or THIS!!! Love it all!
GULP!

This was what I had for brunch today-Yummmm!!!

We had to go into the golf store-he was like a kid in a candy store. Maybe Santa will bring you some new clubs this year honey! LOL!

They have these in the golf store-they were my favorite! They are called Butt Head Covers and they go over your golf clubs! How funny is that?

Bake with Becky

I love to BAKE…
Actually I like to bake more than cook regular food. Why is it after EVERY meal I feel like I need chocolate to complete it? Is there anyone else out there who feels this way-or am I just a chocoholic crazy loon woman with soon to be diabetes because I crave sugar so much…or maybe it’s just the PCOS-whatever…I still crave it!
I baked these last night-Dark chocolate is one of my faves, and it has antioxidants right?
Yes-this is the consistency of my baking…we can’t all be like Summer now can we?

Okay-so now I have a proposition for you all. I want you to “get your bake on with me” and I am going to try to do something fantabulously wonderful “homemade” like with my baking goodness. The lovely Summer and I have been talking about putting together a
BLOG BAKE OFF
tonight I’ll post instructions to her site and everyone can enter a cake/cupcake/bunt/any creative bakery item that YOU made yourself! We are looking for creativity and unique ideas-and the point is to have FUN and experiment! At the end of the contest we will be judging all entries and the winner will get something SUPER FAB! I’m ready to expand my baking skillz–
Hope you all are ready to “Get your BAKE on” with moi!

Crazy weather

Last night it thunder stormed worse than I have seen in a LONG time! The tornado sirens went off a few times and we didn’t have electricity from about 7pm-3am. We didn’t sleep too well last night because we were so HOT it was hard to get good rest. Finally it came back on and we were able to get ready for work this morning. Our entertainment last night consisted of watching the tree in front of our door get knocked over from 70mph winds! I’ve been looking for a dress to wear to Kim (Terence’s other sister) and Kevin’s wedding in August. I believe her colors are blue and yellow. I like this one, but I would probably wear camisole or tank top underneath it. What do ya’ll think?

So glad tomorrow is Friday!

Tag your it!

The Domestic Goddess tagged me with the Top 5 Summer Fun Things you enjoy…here it goes! By the way I am normally a cold weather gal…so I will try to think of some things I enjoy besides sweating and sunburns! LOL!

1. Sunshine-seriously it just puts me in a better mood
2. Snow cone stands
3. Summer vacations with family and friends
4. Work dress code goes from Business to Business Casual
5. Traffic seems to have slowed down significantly since summer vacation started and school busses aren’t out and about! Amen!

Gaming

I bought the Sims 3 game the other day and I haven’t started playing it full on yet…but I know I loved playing the Sims & Sims 2. I played them for awhile and then it faded and I hadn’t played them for at least a year. I thought I would try this and see how I liked it. The graphics are supposed to be a lot better and it’s more 3-D than the older games. Bonnie bought it too and we were trying to figure out how we can play online together. I haven’t figured that part out yet either…maybe tonight I’ll mess around with it some! Have ya’ll played Sims before???
