What's the story Morning Glory?

The story is that I have lots to say, but I'm too tired to say it. So bare with me (do you know that by saying BARE with me, it is an invitation to take off your clothes?) So I guess I should say Bear with me, unless of course you are going to quickly read this and then jump in the shower so in that case Bare with Me and Bear With Me, except that i really dont want you to BARE with ME, I mean I am a prude, so I guess what I should just say before the FCC shuts me down is: BEAR with me as a I compartmentalize my thoughts into neat blog worthy posts. Superfluous will be back. When? It's really like questioning the Apocalypse. You know its going to happen, you fear its arrival, and yet like Christmas you patiently wait for it year after year.
Oh and BTW...... YOUR MOM IS A PALINDROME!

My BFF has a Blog!!!

Wow! Rachel has a blog!
Maybe to you this is not along the same order as the loaves and fishes, but to me it is!
A) because she's a busy mother to a newborn and a toddler! eeek!
B) because she's not one to broadcast her life.
C) because I think she would rather be watching Felicity than blogging.

My BFF extraordinaire Rachel has now joined the land of the living bloggers. (Is this opposed to deceased bloggers?) Please embrace her with open arms as she enters our world!
You can check her out over at Picture Perfect.
(Hey Charlsh... i hope you don't mind me giving you a shout out! You can reprimand me all you want. Kinda like the time i made a big fuss over you giving the morning announcement at the Mansion. I still like to sing your praises!)

Confession Tuesdays

This is my new thing. Everyone's doing it! Heather from the EO has Suck Up Sunday's, Joolee from A Spot on the Sopha has The Thing about Thursdays, even Sensible of Shoe was doing Pink Saturdays (what happened to that?) So now I'm jumping on the band wagon and doing my own day of the week themed blog. This one will be titled Confession Tuesdays. I am not a priest, although i did almost go to Seminary last year, so feel free to fess up too.

My confession this week is:

I LOVE Kraft Easy Mac!!!!

I know, the horror!

Gourmet girl goes ghetto. (and she's not afraid to tell!)

Operation Baking Gals In the Mail!

A few weeks ago I wrote about a group of women I joined called Operation Baking Gals. I belong to a team of women who have been sending baked treats to some special troops overseas this past week. Today I made some Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from a recipe by my favorite baker, Dorie Greenspan. So off my cookies go along with some other treats, to some deserving soldiers across the world.

Where for art thou...

I finally was able to look at my blog and i looked at the date of my last entry and was surprised to see I hadn't blogged since Monday. Which is fine, but it's definitely been busy the last few days. I have become busy as busy gets at work. I am everywhere and nowhere, endless running from one wing of the building to another. Supervising movers, making really big decisions (not my strong suit) and finding time to say hello and chat with the cool teachers. I barely have time to catch my breath. This is so not typical of my job... usually i sit at my desk and do my totally boring exciting work. Today a teacher stopped me in the hall and said, WOW you are everywhere! How true. Looking for my Deer in the Works, (that is a reference to a Kurt Vonnegut story BTW, may he RIP). So if my blogging gets few and far between you will all now know why.
Last night i did go to the State Fair! Soo bummed i forgot my camera. I went with Shannon. We ate A LOT of food, walked through the midway, the barns and watched cloggers dance. It was nice and cool and not a lot of people. I am too tired to even write right now, so I apologize for my completely lame post. I wish i could share with you all the stuff going on in my personal life including crushes and long kisses good night. But alas i must go rest.

(I wonder how many people just read the second to the last sentence and said, WHAT! Did Sabrina and TC go out?!?!?!?)

Celebrate Good Times...

COME ON! Last night I had a little celebration of my own. I invited over all my favorite gal pals to celebrate! Celebrate What? Whatever you wanted to celebrate that's what. More importantly, I was surrounded by some of the bestest friends a girl could want or ask for. There were lots of laughs, good food, great outfits and even some "ammo" to liven up the party!
Thanks girls for making my day so happy and bright. I'm happy to be me.

Treats!

Sangria!
