A Very Pinterest Thanksgiving

I am totally late to the Pinterest thing, but now that I've really sat down with it over a cup of tea, I LOVE it and have decided that it will inspire a lifestyle change.

For example, Warm Apple Pie Pots look delicious and are such a different twist on one of my brother's favorites! I am not the greatest cook in the world, but I love baking and would like to get more into it. Plus, no one in my extended family enjoys baking (that I know of), so it would be fun to bring in some different ideas to the standard I-just-pulled-this-pie-out-of-the-box dessert table.

 My husband would really like to see something like this little number. Doesn't this Peach and Cinnamon Cobbler look freakin' amazing?

Out of any possible dessert to make, I really, really want Pumpkin Parfaits.

It's a Love Thing

A few nights ago, J and I were lying in bed with our laptops: he was looking up car parts, I was drooling over hammered gold jewelry. We're so typical.

Out of nowhere, he asks if I know "It's a Love Thing" by Keith Urban. I say no, so he plays it.

Mid-way through, I asked him if he liked it.

He said it reminded him of us.

Polished, structured, formal.

 

 

 

Elegant, feminine, modest.

 

 

 

 

Well-played, Duchess.

Guilty Pleasures

To Tame A Highland Warrior by Karen Marie Moning
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I will admit it- I read romance novels. I would say it's maybe once or twice a year I get in this mood, but when I do, I basically hunker down for two days straight and read two back-to-back. Then I crawl out from under my covers, brush my teeth, and rejoin the civilized world.

I really liked this one for two reasons: I love when historical fiction romance authors actually put in some leg work, and this chick actually researched Berserkers / Viking ancestry. I'm fascinated by Norse mythology and history, so of course that made me happy.

Secondly, the hero reminded me of my husband, right down to the coloring of his features.

"The irony is, they're going to get blood on their clothes."

Sometimes I play this game with one of my best friends. We write what are basically sound bites or pieces of conversation we hear and text/message them at random to one another, forcing each other to try and guess where they're from.

Let's play.

"Ohh, he found my dead hooker storage room."

"They hittin' that fat dude like he's a piñata."

"Listen to me you crazy b*tch! We ain't got no nuggets!"

"he meditates, and he dodges cars at busy intersections."

"I'm gonna knock the dentures right outta your mouth!"

"Who knew there was racial tension in the duck world?"
