Part 2

Another busy week under my belt!

Monday: Memorial Day, Already talked about it in a previous post.

Tuesday: Book Club Meeting with my co-workers. We read, um, um, hold on, Oh yeah... Promise Not to Tell. I have no idea who wrote it. It was an okay book, it had a potato girl and lots of creepy moments. Our next two books for the summer will be: Garden Spells for July
and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for August. neat.
Picked Shannon up from the airport. I was surprised she even came back. Another BFF lost to the Michigan Black Hole.... This is the second time in my life a dear friend has met a boy from MI, stayed and never left. What gives?

Wednesday: Had my beloved co-worker girls over for grillin' chillin' and AMAZING make-0vers. We also played board games and found out that i was most compatible with Good Liz. There was also a sleepover (on a school night! gasp!) and breakfast in the morning at Bruegger's Bagels.

Thursday: I don't know what i did.

Friday: Final Farewell Happy Hour at Psycho Suzi's with GC, GP, MCF, SAD, EILWM Co-workers. Teachers are like caged animals, once out of the cage... hide your children, small pets and elderly.
I could barely peel myself away to go to a most important family bbq, and said co-workers made me VERY late!
Off to the Robidon'ts for a family night.
Finally got to meet new cousin Drew! AWWWW!!! love!
Kelly saved me a bratwurst and that was most appreciated. Love my family.

Saturday: I went to a movie (Night at the Museum 2) with my brother and Aunt Sandy. Followed by a walk around the park. It was special.

Sunday: Spent a half day at my parent's house. Making friends with the geese and playing croquet with the rents and brother.
Now I'm back at my house, taking in the sunshine and praying for rain.
I need to get my place tidied up for a little end of the school year bash at my pad on Wednesday night. Do i seem obsessed with my co-workers? I'm not.

The One Where Sabro Gets a Life...

I know I haven't blogged in almost a week, but I have had NOTHING to blog about. Well that is not entirely true... I've had a busy week.



Sunday: Baby Bridal shower for soon to be cousin-in-law Jen! Congrats on your "BIG" news! And thank you for being weird like us and wanting to join our family +1.
Kelly was my partner in crime in hosting, thanks cous! Your dump cake was a masterpiece in culinary history!

Monday: Birthday dinner for Sarah D at Kelly & Kyle's, with some grilled steaks, corn on the cob and a heap of Gossip Girl on the side. Serena take that stupid tassel out of your hair and PLEASE let Blair and Chuck last longer than a week next season.

Tuesday: Co-worker BFF\GC secret poop bathroom extraordinaire Kristin literally RAN to my house... 4 miles in what we had no idea was 97 degree weather! Super Star! "I...had...to... stop...at...Subway...to...get....some...water....and...then...poured....it...over...my...head!" We then grilled turkey brats on my patio, watched American Idol and were totally disappointed by Glee.

Wednesday: VERY HOT & WINDY walk with Shannon, followed by a walk to the Dairy Queen, followed by MAYJAH bloating and being pelted by rocks from a mini-tornado. OOOOF!!!!
Then off to Acapulco (the restaurant) to Celebrate one year cancer free for Ellen! Way to go Nellen my love! Jeanelle and Kelli were there to share their love and pervy married stories.

Thursday: I have no idea what I did.

Friday: Drove Shannon to the airport so she could go visit her BF Finch... Then off to Happy Hour with co-workers, a surprise visit from our principal (did I really call him a dufas?) and Bad Liz and I ended up at Walgreens to stock up on hairpieces and Wet 'n' Wild products.
(Happy Birthday Heather of the EO, we still need to go on our date!)

Saturday: Free coffee and hugs at Megan and Nori's play house... Sarah and C.F. Ellen also attended the coffee club. I finally gave Nori her birthday presents 4 months later. I hope they don't smell like car trunk, because that is where i had been storing them.
Saturday night I went to a party at the home of some friends i hadn't seen in 2 years! Just like old times! Pass the boot!

Sunday: Family picnic with my mom's cousins. Except, wait, what? Said Cousins forgot to tell my mom that they cancelled the picnic. oooops. Sabro to the rescue! Invited my mom\dad\brother\aunt\uncle over to my house to grill and chill and talk about social security checks.

Monday: My day to work around the house, remember troops, and hermit. Thank you very much. I again have something going on every night this upcoming week.
Now that all my favorite shows are on hiatus, I can finally leave my house at night.

Tell me you love me...

Fall can't come soon enough.

1 year in the hizzouse

I am officially a one year home owner!

Happy one year house!

Thanks for sheltering me and not falling down.

You are my BFF.

Wrecking Cakes, Gossip Girl Style

My cousin Kelly and I had this brilliant idea to make our own version of Cake Wrecks. If you haven't seen the blog Cake Wrecks, you must go! These are professional cakes gone horribly, hilariously wrong as they like to say.
But what is better than a Cake Wreck? Our favorite show Gossip Girl as a Cake Wreck.
We invited our pal Nikki to join us, (a recent GG convert) and we each made our own cake.

Kyle was there to supervise and he said,

"This is probably the second strangest lamest event I've ever attended, the first being opening night of Twilight at the theatre."

These are some fabulously awesome cakes, you never have nor never will again witness such breathtaking beauties!!!

I did not make the Lemon Tart. I had to make a cake last night for an extra special blog post that will commence tomorrow.
The Upper East Siders are going to be a wreck!

XOXO


Check Back Tomorrow....

Hey Mom...

I Love You!

Brought to you by the number 2

Today is my 2 year anniversary at my job. To "normal" people 2 years is not a long time to be a at a job... to my people that is a MILESTONE! I've had a handful of jobs since high school and graduating from college. The longest I've stayed at a job has so far been 1.5 years.

I just get restless and bored very easily, and so I have no problems putting in my two week notice. As a matter of fact i have become quite good at it, considering I've changed jobs A LOT! The other miracle of this job is that i hated it when i first started. I never thought I would stay there longer than a month... and now here I am 2 years later!

It's not the most exciting job, nor is it my dream job, but it's a job that i like. I have great co-workers that make the day most enjoyable. For example, just yesterday my work BFF and I hid a book about poop in the bathroom. Just some light reading to add some humor to our day. It's stuff like that, that makes me love my job!

And how am I celebrating my workiversary? By taking the day off!!! YAY!

TWD~Tiramisu Cake

Hello, My name is Noir and I am blogging in place of my owner Sabrina. She was too tired to blog so she asked me to write this for her. So while she is sitting here watching Gossip Girl, I am going to do her dirty work, because she is too busy drooling over Chuck Bass. Whatevs.

Tiramisu cake: I so wanted to make my big comeback with this cake! And sadly, this was my biggest disappointment yet. Mostly because the frosting did NOT turn out right. All that wasted marscapone makes me sad. It tasted awful, and my cream would not get thick.

I did like the cake part... very different than the traditional tiramisu I've been used to.

Making the cake was simple, and I decided to make it in a 9x13" pan instead of the 2 round ones.

So I plopped the icky frosting on top of the cake and sprinkled mini-chocolate chips on top.

It didn't taste half bad, but its not at all what I expected. I wanted the marscapone to be light and fluffy. Oh well, better luck next time.

On PBS the other day Lydia Bastianich made a lovely Limoncello Tiramisu... I would really like to try that sometime, it looked AMAZING!

I am really looking forward to next week's recipe, Lemon Tart. Love me some lemon goodness!

P.S. Thanks Noir for typing this up for me. You are the bomb diggity kitty!

I'm Chuck Bass

Turkey Lurkey

I have been convinced lately that none of my real life friends read my blog.
Turns out my lurkers are my real life friends.
How do I know this? Well yesterday I was hanging out and catching up with my pals from high school and they apparently knew everything that was going on in my life.
How & Why?
"We read your blog!"
OH.
Thanks guys! You are the best!

I no longer have any site monitoring devices on my blog, I have no way of keeping track of where people are lurking from.
But what I want to know is, I wonder how many others lurk on my blog?
I love my lurkers by the way.
So hello creepy friends! Lurk away.

Also on a totally unrelated note, I have been having really weird dreams lately. I mean these babies would put the Sci-fi Channel to shame. I usually have very vivid and colorful and outrageous dreams, but lately they are INSANE!!!! I might have to start writing them down!
They start out tame and by the end of the week, I'm growing chicken eggs inside my body.
So tonight if I have a weird dream I will blog it tomorrow and all you lurkers can decipher it for me.

Good Advice

Read in Elle Magazine May 09' issue:

Dear E. Jean:

What should I have in my bag when I'm going out and thinking I may spend the night with a guy?

E. Jean:

I always carry fuzzy slippers, binoculars, and a copy of The Brothers Karamazov, a box of triscuits, and a slingshot.

I heart E. Jean who writes for Elle Magazine. Her advice is always truthful, helpful and strait forward.

Now I'm not advocating for one night stands. Nope! Never! But if I had to pick a few things to pack in an overnight bag, I would have to have:

a pencil sharpener

3-d glasses

left over chicken salad

a copy of Dressing your Pet for Dummies

trick gum that turned your tongue black

A Pee-Wee Herman Doll

What would you pack?
