It’s true… many people these days do not stop to watch commercials. The advent of the DVR has made television commercial spots a finicky form of conveying your advertising message. BUT… sometimes commercials are unavoidable, or maybe you forget that you can fast forward through them. If you have watched the Food Network anytime in…

Playing in the Kitchen: Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole
The can’t all be winners ** sigh ** The recipe seemed to have such potential too! My parents love going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, and the hashbrown caserole there is one of their favorite dishes. My mom found the following recipe in a Secret-Recipies-Revealed type book, and wanted to test it out. We were…
The Dark Knight… Soooo excited
Forget Indiana Jones or that SATC movie… The Dark Knight is gonna be the best thing to hit movie theatres this summer. Batman has been my favorite superhero since I was about 8 years old… I had Gotham City made out of construction paper on my bedroom door, and I watched the live-action TV show…
Amazing!! Unheard of!! Cindy starts AND completes a craft project!
It’s been over a year (just about) since I have actually attemped to start a new craft project… the “craft area” of my room is full of tools, instruction books and materials needs for seveal different projects, and to be honest before last week I’d forgotten I even owned most of them (oh dear). The…

All for a good cause, of course 😀 As part of Marriott Associate Appreciate Week, my hotel held it’s annual “Ducks for Bucks” fundraiser in support of the Children’s Miracle Network. For $2, you…
Birthday Shenanigans
As you may or may not know, I turned the big 2-7 just a week ago, oh my! I had been dreading the even for some time, since 27 is a number that starts to sound seriously OLD… as in you’re no kid anymore, time to grow up and be an adult and what not….
Lets go LAKERS!
Of all the professional sports around, I’ve always loved basketball the most. Perhaps it was because I was awkwardly tall as a child, who knows… and it’s always seemed like I have gone against-the-grain when cheering for teams… When I was a kid, the huge rivalry was between the Chicago Bulls (Michael Jordan) and Phoenix…
2 hours I’ll never get back
I very much enjoy watching movies. I watch all sorts, and try to keep a pretty open mind… every movie is someone’s artistic vision and what not. My list of horrible-do-not-waste-your-time-or-money films is quite short… but OMG it definitely has a new addition. I’ve been meaning to watch the movie Atonement for a while, and…
You can’t unlearn things
For a while I’d thought I turned into a genuine pessimist/realist/all around anti-optimist, a regrettable change from the person I used to be in High School. But in the past few days, I’ve come to realize that is not the case… I’m still genuinely seeing the best in people, and in situations, to the point…
Tulips and Frogs
I love fresh cut flowers, having them in a room always seems to bringten things up. AND I was lucky enough to find some fabulous tulips at 11pm the night before mothers day! (My usual shift gets me out of work at around 11, so technically I wasnt procrastinating…) Since I bought the flowers and…
