Have you tried this?? I co-worker brought it in today… she has a Belgian neighboor that has connections to imported chocolates and cookies. OOOoooOOO Speculoos is a giniger-like spread… to me it tastes like a cross between ghram crackers and ginger snaps. We’ve been eating it on bread, and crackers, and just with a spoon…
Dollar Store Challenge
A little fact that many of you may not realize… in Texas, there are Dollar Stores EVERYWHERE. Almost to the point of being rediculous. When I lived in California, I can remember there being one in the mall… I dont remember one in NYC (though maybe I just wasnt looking for it)…. NOW I pass…
Do I really need to see things??
*sigh* I always seem to put things off for as long as I possibly can… including getting new glasses. Or at least a new prescription. I didn’t even realize I had blurry vision until college… silly me, I always just thought the overhead projectors in class were a little out of focus, or that technology…
My First Dress (Made by yours-truly)
Not quite sure when the idea popped into my head… maybe standing in Kohls and being frustrated that I couldn’t find anything cute/faltering to wear… or in Macys when the price tag on an OK looking dress was $75… or just going from store to store in general, the the crowds , and the expensive…
A Very Merry High School Reunion
To go to the reunion or not to go… that seems to be the big question/debate among my fellow classmates from Mission Viejo High. Yes, time has flown by and this June marks TEN YEARS since I graduated, oh dear! Everyone I talk to about it here in Texas has been asking if I plan…
Crafts are Awesome
My latest internet addiction: ThreadBanger.com (as in I totally meant to go to bed around midnight but stayed up past 3am watching videos, reading posts and scribbling down ideas :D) For one thing, it is nice to know that I’m not the only young adult out there that is totally into crafts (12 years of…
Mystery Camera, oh my
So I was sifting through the Junk Drawer in our kitchen (you know you all have one… full of pencils/pens/decks of cards/clothes pins/post-it notes etc…) and I came across this disposable camea: It’s a bit hard to read, but the bottom says Use By 5/2003. 2003?! I was still in College back then! :/ So,…
You’re gonna go far kid…
I’m rolling my eyes… serisouly, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING MR. PHELPS?! Advertising Age: Kellogg to Drop Olympian Phelps We originally built the relationship with Michael, as well as the other Olympic athletes, to support our association with the U.S. Olympic team,” a Kellogg spokeswoman said in a statement. “Michael’s most recent behavior is not consistent…
As Seen on TV: Big City Slider Station
This special kind of marketing still exists… direct from TV to customer. Now adays though, you can usually find “as seen on TV” products in retail and grocery stores. My dad saw the commercial for the Big City Slider Station and decided he wanted to try it… turned into a gag-Christmas present. (Side Note: Which…
I believe in Capatialism, and America
This is me on my soapbox. I’m not trying to be impartial. In Ohio, Obama was approached by a man who said, “Your new tax plan’s going to tax me more.” Obama replies, “It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that…
