For those that I sent this to before, here is an updated view of the nation from a year ago...it's not pretty.

Well Well Well...

Apparently people start deleting blogs if you don't update so I better do just that. Thanks a lot MOM! Maybe now I'll just post what people say on Facebook and I will refuse to tell you on the phone! Muwahahahaha Can you see my evil gears cranking?

Anyway Florida has been cold- but luckily it is starting to warm up- heat is off...windows are wide open! Although I'm sure I'll have to close up once the sun goes down...I'll take what I can get.

Minion is adapting quite nicely...although we really need to get her a window perch- she can only look out two of the three windows on her own. Once we get my studio unpacked I'll post some new pictures of our place. Chris suggested I get a workspace all set up and the GORM shelving at IKEA will do quite nicely- durable, super cheap, and very customizable. You can't go wrong!

Baking surprises!

This is Mom's Birthday cake we made for her when she came down to visit!


This is the Bumbleberry pie I made for Chris' Thanksgiving dinner. It contains fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. It was my first pie I have ever made and it tasted great! It was a big hit at Thanksgiving with a nice scoop of Vanilla Bean Ice Cream on top too! :) Yum.

Caramel Waffle Wafers

I found them! They were at Publix, obviously a seasonal item. However, I remember having these as a kid...Pete and Kelly brought them over to our house in Wauseon. They were delicious...they cost around 3.69 for ten of them. After work next week I might just go buy some to see if they were as good as I remember.

Sia

Australian singer songwriter Sia Furler. Her music has really impacted my life lately. This video is visually stimulating to me and definitely worth the watch.

Missy Eliott feat Ciara and Fatman Scoop

This is a laughable good time.

Real World Beauty

I'm am highly doubting all advertisements these days...Why can't they just use the model for their own beauty?>

Ok...Sweden here I come.

For some reason- almost all the new music I like and listen to is emerging from Sweden. Maybe that is where my next vacation location will be!

Anyway this is a little bit graphic...and it got flagged as inappropriate for children...which it is totally not. Maybe more for the language over content. If for some reason it wants you to sign in, let me know.

Sometimes I just need to listen to this to make me smile.
