10 things i love right now…

Posted by: Cyndi In: Just For Fun

My gawd, I have been so slacking off with the food blogging – it’s ridiculous!  Can I make LIFE as a reason?  Well, not that I have a life, but my life really belongs to everyone else.  Hahah!

Okay, so my much awesome, way cooler g-sis got me to play yet another game.  Woo hoo!  I love her games!

So I will follow in her footsteps because I want to be like her when I grow up <smile!> and list the 10 Things I Love Right Now and not list the obvious — family, friends, dreamy Gerry.  Err, excuse me.

10 Things I Love Right Now

1.  Fall – my most favorite season of the year.  I love how the weather is not too hot nor too cold and yet cool enough to wear a sweater, jeans and a pair of kick ass boots outside.

2.  GLEE - thanks to our hometown crew for getting us started on this, our household has recently converted to a bunch of Gleeks.

3.  Farmer’s Markets – I love waking up early on a Saturday and heading to the Farmer’s Market a getting some fresh produce, herbs and baked goods.

4.  Madeleines – I really started to get the hang of baking these small, cute French cakes.  The only thing that takes me forever is folding the butter and flour into the mixture; I think my arms have gotten a really good workout – though I cannot say the same for my waistline.  Hahah!

5.  My 1.5 quart Crock Pot – DK gave this to me as my stocking stuffer last Christmas and I must say this gets a lot of use for many things like a fondue or to make a single serving slow cooker dish that I know DK would dare not try.  I ♥ this!

6.  Coupons – what can I say?  I’m a mommy working with a budget and gotta save where I can.

7.  My Literary Masterpiece book from college – I rediscovered this textbook sitting on my bookshelf; it contains a great collection of classic stories like the Iliad, Dante’s Inferno, and such.  I also remembering taking this as a summer course at RU. <smile>

8.  Cold desserts – like ice cream or even better mochi ice cream!

9.  Designer handbags – never realized how much I was attached to my handbags until my baby girl grew an affinity for them.  Now, I have to go to ebay to find inexpensive ones for her.

10.  Beaches on the Hawai’ian Islands – I would love go back there one day and just be there again.

Well, there’s my list – thanks for listening and I hope to get back on my food blogging again soon.  Real soon!

a lazy Sunday

It’s a lazy Sunday here in our household.

Here’s Baby sporting a mismatched outfit and missing sock.

And then taking a nice long nap…. still can’t find that missing sock.
