Thank you repeat button

Have you ever listened to a song for 50 minutes straight? Well I have an addictive personality when it comes to music and when I want to listen to a song-I can listen to it for 50 minutes I guess. I feel like each time it plays, I hear a different part I like or a different guitar pick. On my way back down to Winona this last weekend I had this song on repeat so loud, that I could hear my windows moving. I also didn't care what car I was singing to next to me at the stop lights. If you listen to it below-you can only listen to it loud. ONLY. I really mean that. I love tunes that start out mellow and turn into a rock-out. This song would be great to hear live at a concert. It just is a good one to blast with huge speakers.

How Cool is This

Something about secret rooms like this make me want one so bad.

Winterized Too Good

I went to start up my scooter today but didn't get very far.  I would have bet anyone $1000.00 that I left my scooter key in the ignition-the most practical spot ever-


EVERRRRR


Needless to say it was not there.  I have been looking around here for about 30 minutes and it hasn't jumped out at me yet. I am now turning my night into a key hunt with some good wine and good music.  I guess I winterized it a little too well.  A key purchase may be in my near future.  Maybe I will find it during my big move.  Is anyone playing a trick on me? I seriously thought it was in my scooter this whole winter. What a major buzz kill.

"At Last, My Love Has Come Along"

Say heddooo to my lil' friends!

When I had my nerdy dentist chair last year, I thought it would be really cool to buy these and have them in a vase next to it, but never did.

The oral surgeon left me with this to "clean" out all my holes and all it did was make water run down my arms and leave me frustrated with food stuck in my mouth.

I seriously had walnuts in my mouth for over 24 hours and it was NOT because I was saving them for later.  It was disgusting.  Especially for someone like me who loves a clean mouth.

A girl has to eat and a girl can't have food stuck in her wisdom teeth holes forever.  An un-bent paperclip was not doing the job.

Aren't they cool?

The mirror comes in handy.

*Friends & Family- I am also available to perform cleaning services to those in need, there is no reason to be scared.


P.S. I did not plan on matching my shirt to the tools like it may seem to the naked eye.

Change

Let me know what you think about the new blog-do. I am open to suggestions. I have already noticed that my guitar strings are a bit grimy.

We can start marching already?

Where did February and January go?  I think I was too busy eating a few too many of "that shown below"  to notice.

I still eat these darn things for dinner about 5 nights a week.  I finally broke down and did the challenging math of how expensive mixing these two ingredients together for every meal can be.  I noticed my grocery bill was getting a little steep.   As soon as I hit the equal button on my calculator widget I laughed out loud- $0.275.  Maybe I should cut down on my cost and not buy hormone free eggs and 100 % whole wheat bread? 

I will tell you about another expensive meal I make that is doomed to break my checking account.

I know my skillzzz in the kitchen are very intimidating. Now look at these...

I had chocolate left over so a little drizzling was a must. (And so was licking the bowl and spatula).

 This one was really fun to eat.


The recipe can be found here-but I made a few modifications.  I didn't add as much peanut butter to each pretzel as they did and I also didn't quite know how to measure with my measuring cups that day either.  I made them right after I had just gotten off of the phone with someone from Arkansas so my mind was a little scattered.  Looking back on it all, I should have used a whole teaspoon of peanut butter. That is my favorite part.


All in all I can be described as having beer taste on a champaign budget when it comes to eating meals right now.  It is the other way around with every other aspect of my life.


Can I also tell you what happened to me today?  If your answer is no, then just quite reading. If it is yes, well... I was leaving a store here in town that has a whole bunch of floor to ceiling windows and then a door amongst them. Kind of like this.

With my smooth moves, I passed the punks in front of me who stopped to find something in their bags.  When I got up to the "door" it did not move, as most windows don't, and my shoulders and head came barreling into the glass.  This did not go unheard or unseen.  The punks that I passed earlier didn't know whether to laugh or ask if I was alright.  I told them that I should have waited for them to go first to see if their exit strategy was more efficient.  Then we laughed. Then I kept laughing of course, as I always do.
