WENDY ON A WHIM

DATE = DESSERT

2012-01-20T18:08:00.003-07:00

I have a date tonight...

That's good news. I don't really know the kid, talked to him for 2 minutes at a party and he got my number. Apparently he liked my earrings. That was his pick-up line. Good for him for taking initiative.

So that's good. But you see, dates these days mean more to me than just nice company, awkward conversations, even more awkward door scenes, a whole lot of "so... (insert questions for the standard getting to know you list)".

Let me explain... see that check, the one for $100.00. It's my motivation. If JaNae eats treats on any non designated occasion, I cash it and walk away with a few extra bucks in my back pocket. However, I did the same. She likewise has a high roller check signed by me in her possession and if I break the rules she walks away with the cash. So needless to say, no cookie, ice cream cone, not even apple pie a'la mode is worth $100.00. However my one freebie is on dates.

So here's to hoping I get some good SUGAR tonight (the real cane kind, it's a first date people! I'm not like that!) I'd even just take a regular chocolate chip cookie. Hopefully it's a shake with cookies in it. PERFECT.

Well he will be here in just a couple minutes.

Resolved!

I'm resolved to eat hot dogs once a day in 2012.

Okay, that's not true. This is a totally unrelated picture from months ago, but I like it so I am sharing it.

Those of you who know me well, especially those who live/lived with me know I am just don't eat meals. Popcorn for dinner. You betcha.

But.. I'm resolved to make one new dish every week. Tonight it was thislemony shrimpy stuff. And lemon vegetables. Pretty yummy.
Last week, HONEY LIME ENCHILADAS. TO DIE FOR, not joking. You need to eat some, NOW!

Tomorrow I will eat popcorn and the day after that too, but one day next week (maybe 2 if there are leftovers) I will eat normal. That's all! Goodnight.

Coats of Many Colors

A friendly person recently commented on how much she likes my coats. It was a very nice compliment, in fact as one who looks up to her for her class and just plain beauty it kind of made my day. It set my thinking processor into action, the above image flashed into my mind. There are 16 coats for 2 girls.

Excessive? Yes it is. Do I wear them all? Yes I do. Do I need them all? Absolutely not.
Sometimes moments like these make me feel a bit selfish. Ahem. It does make me feel better to know the only one I paid full price for was the blue one and that was years ago. It's lasted a LONG time and will serve me for years to come. Justification? Yeah probably.

My latest favorite...

I DID...Again!

Babies are Like Cookies

2012-01-01T22:00:00.003-07:00

Today I was at my parents house. We looked at pictures and talked about all of my little nephews and niece. We compared their personalities and had a quick little discussion about each of their distinct and varied little spirits. Then we talked about looks, their features, some look like the Larson's others look like the in-laws. Others, who knows who they look like, but they are cute none the less.

After this discussion I figured out why people have babies (other than the fact that it's a righteous thing to do). It's because they like surprises. You never know what you are going to get. You have the same mom and dad, but everyone of them looks different and has a different personality and spirit. It's a surprise every time and who doesn't like a nice surprise that you really have no say in how it turns out.

Cookies are like babies. Only you don't have to wait 9 months for them, 9 minutes, yes. But not 9 months. At least my cookies are like babies. I'm never consistent, I use the same ingredients but they all turn out different. The first two batches, I cooked one too long, then the second batch not long enough, then needed more flour, but then didn't cook them long enough again. So my unscientific conclusion for today is that, cookies are like babies you have the same ingredients but the way they turn out... you just never know.

So this is what I say to that... please have more babies, or at least bake more cookies. I like surprises.

Me and my sibs. Yeah, totally different. All of us.

THE END.

I DID!

The misfits. The others were lucky enough to be gifted. However, these three are endearing, for sure! Who knew chocolate covered marshmallow reindeer suddenly develop personalities when sprinkles, pretzels, and hot tamales are added. Cute little guys.
I did make Bugel santa hats too. Will I next year? It's iffy, much too labor intensive for a mass produced Christmas treat.

I DID!
Yippee! Finally I did. Took a few youTube tutorials, personal instruction, and LONGISH HAIR. Now to work on the smile.

I may or may not have become David Archuleta's biggest fan on Monday night. I would claim him as my little brother. Best concert ever even before the big announcement. The kid can entertain in a very endearing way, pretty sure he took some dancing lessons. Ooh and sing, he can do that too.

I don't want Christmas to come.

...and it's not because I'm a scrooge.
When Christmas arrives it just means that all of this is over.

But the best news of all is that THIS will never end.

I DID!

2011-11-24T22:14:00.002-07:00

Uh huh! I sure did X4.

OOH YES, I DID eat a piece of pie all by myself before the big Thanksgiving Dinner.
Um, I did...tuck my pants into my boots. Target for teasing in 10 years, YUP!

The eve of "no sweets until Thanksgiving".

Peace out my sugar friend!

Women WILL go deaf sooner than men.

Why, (according to me) because of the little red machine.

Think about it, hurricane strength, 10 decible winds blowing past your ears every day for more than an approved amount of time.

My analysis.

Agree?
