Why Yes

I am the type of person who goes to a doggie bakery and purchases a peanut butter cupcake for my dog's birthday

She's 10

She deserves it
(that's 70 in dog years)

She told me she's planning on moving to Boca to spend her days playing shuffle board and dining on early bird specials

I can't blame her after the blizzard we had this weekend

Maybe i'll join her.

Happy Birthday Lu-dog!

Happy Birthday Momma!

(There she is in all her 'Gigi' glory)

On your birthday, I think it's appropriate to tell you

even though it stings a little coming from my lips

that

you

are

usually

always....

RIGHT

(most of the time)

Okay 80% of the time

Okay 90, 90% is my max

(Maybe 95)

Just thought you should hear it

as much  as I have fought you about it over the years

ARGH.

Love you so much Mom.

You make my heart smile and I am so lucky that in all the universe,
I am lucky enough to call you my 

MOMMA

Holy Cannoli

So I may have made this Cannoli Dip from Mama Basirico's recipe book for

my friend's Surprise Party this weekend

And it may have been a hit.

I also may have bailed on a Super Bowl party, and watched 'Girls' instead

Whilst eating left overs of said dip

Very wise decision on my part

(do you see my Vday decor on the mantle?)

I'm so crafty.

Survey says you should probably make this dip for Valentines Day for your significant other.

Much easier than the cake pops I attempted to make this weekend as well.

Are you worried I'm getting to be a chubster with all this baking?

You probably should be.

Cannoli Dip

1 cup of Ricotta Cheese

1 Cup of Mascarpone Cheese

1 Cup of Cream Cheese

1 tps of Vanilla Extract

1 Cup (or more) of Chocolate Chips

1 Cup of Confectioners Sugar

Mix Together and Serve with Waffle Cone Pieces

SO. GOOD.

Please join me in my quest for obesity.

Worth It

My clothes all smell like a camp fire

The scale has tipped in the wrong direction

I overdosed on birthday cake and bubbly

I may have fibbed about my birthday and was included in on a stranger's 50th birthday champagne toast at the restaurant we went to for dinner

My wallet is aching from my over expensive but completely amazing massage

Despite it all,

Vermont Weekend was totally worth it

This Week

It's cold. Like Bone Chilling Cold. Like 12. Degrees.

("I want my mom!" said in whiny 2 year old voice)

In order to avert my attention to the icicles forming around my nostrils I turned to baked goods and bubbly.

That's cake. In a mason jar.

And mini champs. Seriously?

All wrapped up for my home girl's 30th birthday which so happens to also be

our Annual Vermont Weekend

(hurrah!)

I'm planning on handing these out on our Sleigh ride.

You heard.

But just as you are about to get jealous, just remember..

it's 12

degrees

So we're even. 

2013

Happy New Year!!

Doppleganger

Did I tell y'all the news that I have a doppleganger?

It was brought to our attention by one of the hubster's friends.

I was all excited because one of my favorite past times with the hubs is figuring out who people's celebrity doppelgangers are, particularly dogs to humans.

(Like Hub's German Shepard looks like George Clooney)

 I know super weird.

Hubs is pretty terrible at this game and declares everyone a different ethnicity to our friend Lexie. Example: "Look at that girl! She looks like an Asian Lexie!" You get the idea.

Anyways! Back to my doppleganger, I was hoping it would be an A-list celeb or a Victoria Secret model (hey a girl can dream) but instead it's this chick....

Do you see it? I kind of do.

She's the B-list celeb that can be watched as the annoying Ex Girlfriend in cinematic master pieces such as 'Shes Out of My League'

Never heard of it?

There's a reason for that.

Womp Womp.
