My Favourite Things

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.

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

Bestie's Birthday

So last weekend was Bestie's birthday. Well Friday the 16th. So of course we had to go out for it. Anyways we ended up heading to Dave and Busters all 6 of us. It was a great time. We had dinner and then finished off by playing a few games in the midway. Of course they had Dance Dance revolution, and me being in heels of course had to try it out. Boy was the a huge mistake. Well what can I say I am totally do not work with heels a little alcohol and coronation. Oh well maybe I will be better next time. HE HE HE.

Anyways for Besties birthday I wanted to make something special so I ended up with a wonderful chocolate cake made from scratch with vanilla icing and black and pink fondant which I made myself. Anyways here is a few pictures of what became the best morning cake ever. Yes I said morning cake. Because well we didn't get home all to early and weren't really in the mood for food. So when we got up we had it for breakfast. Best idea ever bestie!!!

Anyways on to the photos. I hope you enjoy!

Turkey Time

So the time as come again. It's Thanksgiving. Which has to be one of the best holidays. You get a day off work plus you get to eat as much pumpkin pie as you want. Who could ask for more. Really is there anything better. I think not!

So for the long weekend we headed by to my little home town. Where the fair was on. I have been going to the fair since forever. When we were in Elementary school and high school we use to get the Tuesday off before Thanksgiving and we would go and cheer for your school and show school sprit.

Anyways as we are not in school anymore we had to go on the weekend which was as much fun as ever. We always stop to get Fudge and of course you have to have some Taffy. You just can't turn it down. Then make sure you get some of the butterfly chips which are to die for. Then when you are ended the day at the fair you can take a ride down the fun slide and stop in a see the largest pumpkin. Which this year was a whopping 1410lbs. Can you believe that someone could grow something so big. WOW just WOW.

Happy Birthday to my Blog

So Blog we have come a long way. I can't believe that you are one. So for your special day I have made you a wonderful cake. Which I can't wait to bite into tonight. Well actually I made it as a test for my friend Jessi's birthday party. But why not try it out for something fun. Anyways I can't believe that my blog is one! That is so exciting, that I should really set some goals for this coming year. Like maybe to write in my blog more then I have this past year. Stuff like that. I was also thinking about doing the 100 in 1001 days. I think it will be a neat little boost. Anyways if you haven't heard of 100 in 1001 days. What it is, you have to set your self some realistic goals for the coming two years. Things that you think you can manage. Its a great goal to strive for and it is a ton of fun to do. I have started my list and am hoping to be able to start the first of November.

Saturday with my Bestie

So Saturday was spent with my best friend.

I ended up going to Toronto for the day to spend time with my friends Jessi and Deeps. Well it turns out the Deeps had to cancel as she was so sick and her usual medication was not helping at all.

Anyways my trip into the big city. Well I had a great day. I picked Jessi up at her place and then we headed down town to visit my brother. Who lives just off of King Street. Anyways when we finally got to his place we headed to Queen Street. We had a great time walking around and looking in all the stores. It was so much fun. We got to see a movie being made right down on Queen Street. It was so cool. They had a chase scene and they were using all of these Taxi's cabs and they had a NY city police car. WAY cool. Then they were shooting this one scene with a whole bunch of guys dresses in SWAT. We were thinking that if we had time we would go and see if we could be extras in the movie. I think that it would have been way to much fun. Anyways we headed back to Rob's place to drop him off, and then headed to the Cupcakery.

Well the Cupcakery. What can I say. They have the best after eight cupcakes I have ever had. Well this is the first time I am ever trying them, but they were so wonderful. Jessi couldn't believe that they are charging $2.50 a cupcake. I told that what they usually charge if you go any where else also. She just couldn't believe it.

Then we headed to the first of three Dollar Stores. That's right we hit up three DOLLAR STORES. Oh my god did my feet ever hurt plus it was raining totally not a fun thing to do in the rain.

Anyways we finally found what we were looking for at the last dollar store of course. Isn't that how it always goes. Oh well. It was a fun time. We found these IV bags filled with candy liquid that looks like blood. It has to be one of the grossest things I have ever seen. So of course we had to get some for the Halloween party. They are going to be a huge hit I hope. Then we also picked up some blood hand prints and feet. So cool.

So after our adventure in the land of dollar stores we headed to the movies. We went and saw FAME!!! It was great. We had seen the play together when it was at the Royal Alexander or the Princess I can't remember. Anyways we couldn't wait for them to come out with the movie. It was really good. I just didn't like that they had to leave the best song for last. Which is of course. FAME. So as Jessi and I watched we totally had to sing. It was in our blood.

After FAME we headed back to Jessi's place for a night of tie dying. Mark's friend's wife is having a baby and she is due in January and I had though that it would be a fun idea if I had tie dyed oneies for her. So they turned out great. Jessi and I couldn't believe who neat they looked. But on a sad note. We couldn't find anything else in her apartment that we could dye. We were totally on a dye high. Then we ended up watching Strike, which is such a funny movie and hanging out and then I headed for the home land. I couldn't believe all the rain that I had to get though to get home. Totally not called for. This is September not April.

Well I got home safe and sound and headed right to bed. It was a long day!
