No, not Oprah's. Mine.
I was thinking about this the other day and how are it would be just to pick six things that make me happy. It is going to be hard. Anyway, on to some of the "little things in life" that make me happy.
1. A cuddly Kitty
I love going to my parents house and walking in the door and there is my little button waiting on the top of the steps for me to come in the house. Then follows me around while I unpack my stuff and waits for a drink in the bathroom sink. He is so cute when you turn on the shower all he wants to do is come in with you. Then his hair goes all curly and he smells a little funny. But when he comes in my bedroom at Seven in the morning and just wants to cuddle you just can't say no. I also love when he is sleeping on his chair in the dinning room and he goes to stretch out and ends up looking like a log. Way to funny!!
2. Shoes
I am totally obsessed with shoes. I love any kind of shoe. From Flip Flops to High heel boots. They always fit and you can usually find your size. Plus they come in great colours. I think that if I wanted to I could go for two months and not wear the same pair of shoes. I might just have to try that this Spring and Summer.
3. Fresh Baked Cookies
I love the smell of fresh cookies when the first come out of the oven. They just make my mouth water. I always wonder if I just eat one. But then I remember that they are extremely hot and not cooled down enough for human consumption.
4. Books
I love going into a book store or the library and trying to find a book for my mood. I usually ended up with some romance or teen drama but I enjoy almost anything. Sometimes I will adventure over to Suspense. I love to sit in front of a fire and just read a good book and cuddle with a nice warm blanket. 5. Sunny days.My mood is automatically better if it's sunny out. Weather plays a huge part in establishing how I feel every day. It could be colder than Antarctica outside, but if it's sunny, the day is 100x better than if it's cloudy. I just absolutely love the sunshine.6. Halloween
Halloween has to be one of the best holidays out there. It's the only day that you can dress up like a princess to something deadly, and no one cares. Plus you have all the little kids come down the street ringing your doorbell asking for candy in there cute little costumes. How can you say no to a trick or treater.
So there you have it. A little glimpse into my crazy mind and some of its simple pleasures.
My Favourite Things
Four Weeks of Work Out Hell
So last night I started my long process of the four week work-out "Hip Hop Abs".
So hubbie and I have finally booked our official honeymoon. We are headed to the warm sands of Cancan Mexico, in December. I can't wait. It is going to be a fun time. Anyways since I would like to wear a two piece since they are the only ones that I have. I wanted to make sure that I had some kick butt abs. Plus make sure I don't put on any of the winter weight that for some reason always ends up sneaking up on you around this time of the year.
So I have broken down and gotten out the Hip Hop Abs. I usually find good results with these tapes. I just need someone to put me to get my butt moving that's all. So I have enlisted the hubbie to help with that. I am getting him to make sure that I work out every night for four weeks +.
So last night after I finished my first session I felt great. I had energy and everything. So when I woke up this morning, I could not move. My shoulders were so sore and everything. Totally not fun at all. But I am still going to get back at it tonight. Hopefully the pain will be better tomorrow.
Carmel Apples
I know, I know, I know. I totally dropped off the face of the earth. But I have a good reason. It has been just so crazy around my house. Everything to do with Halloween and of course the whole H1n1 going around. We have had so many people of sick it is just crazy.
Anyway I am going to try and catch you up on all the events that have been happening around me. So first of all, I tried Carmel apples that other day for the first time. I couldn't believe how much fun they are to make. Plus they taste amazing. The only thing I suggest is that you don't leave them out for to long or they will start to drip and then no more Carmel :( Anyways I ended up making them for Besties birthday party round 2. Which I will let you know more about soon. So with out further a dew here are the Carmel apples.
I wanted to make them a little different then usual so I added skor bits to them and they turned out great.
You will need:
10 Granny Smith Apples
75 unwrapped Kraft carmels
Sticks for the apples
3Tbsp of water
1. WASH and dry 10 apples thoroughly. Insert stick into stem end of each apple.
2. MICROWAVE 75 unwrapped Kraft Caramels with 3 Tbsp. water in large glass measure or mixing bowl on HIGH for 3 to 3-1/2 minutes or until sauce is smooth when stirred.
3. DIP apples into hot caramel sauce and turn until coated. Scrape off excess sauce from bottom of apples and decorate*.
4. Place on tray lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
