Manic Monday
#1- I have been in the kitchen ALL weekend trying to catch up because we had a few rare hours of sunshine and I had to get some work done!! So these Blackberry Sweet Rolls happened. As did about 693 other things that I can't wait to share. I'm tired. Also-- I should have taken a picture of the crazy disaster that was my kitchen. Whoa.
#2- Speaking of the few rare hours of sunshine... it has seriously been raining here for 2 weeks straight. And not just regular rain. Torrential downpour rain that sends me flood watch alerts on my phone every day. There is a lake around my house and I don't live anywhere near water. There is also this commercial that comes on like 42 times every morning with a little song that sings, "Turn around, don't drown, your car is not a boat..." and it is hilarious and I just spent 20 minutes trying to find it for you but it is NOWHERE. Add to all the rain the fact that it's still 95 degrees here and you'll understand how cool my hair looks everyday. I now know what it feels like to live in the rain forest. Fern Gully made it look infinitely more awesome.
#3- I found an article called 10 Coffee Mugs to get you through your Monday Meetings. It seemed appropriate given my love of coffee and the fact that it's Manic Monday. LOVE this On/Off mug. It changes colors! So you can be Off until you've had that first steaming delicious cup.
#4- I'm needing extra coffee this morning because we went to see the 9:50 pm showing of World War Z last night. Do you even know how many previews they stuff into the beginning of movies? It made the movie like 30 minutes longer than it would have been. I'm not even exaggerating. Anyway... the movie was really good!! I liked it. I didn't even get sleepy. It was totally action packed THE WHOLE TIME. I think it kind of stressed me out a little bit though because I involuntarily pinched Chad's hand for at least an hour. He made fun of me.
#5- I am in taco mode. I made a whole entire Pinterest board devoted to Tacos. And later today? We are having tacos.
#6- In this week's edition of What the H@%# is Norma Jean Thinking? she insists on sabotaging ALL my clean laundry. And she buried her face in these folded socks. She maybe really likes Tide with Downy? I wish I knew what was happening in her weird kitty brain.
#7- I have a cool giveaway coming up this week! I'm really excited about it. Stay tuned!!
I have been looking for the "turn around, don't drown" song that they play on the radio... I was convinced that the only place they were playing that commercial was Charlotte, NC because no one else that I know has heard it. Tried to find it so my boyfriend in VA could hear it. Where are you located? Are there really that many people making this mistake that the NOAA had to make a folksey-type song to remind people?Lol!
Sooo funny Antoinette! I'm near Charlotte-- south of Shelby. So our media outlets are the same. Hey neighbor! I seriously looked EVERYWHERE for a clip of that commercial because it is hilarious. If you find it please please leave me the link! I think there must be that many people making that mistake... I posted another PSA a couple weeks ago called "Dumb Ways to Die" It might be the best ever. Thanks for reading!
I cant believe that in addition to making those dinner rolls of mine that you said you made, you also whipped up sweet rolls - and all this other food. You're SUPERWOMAN!
Well... I made your dinner rolls Sunday- they were SERIOUSLY so good! I think I made the sweet rolls Saturday. Feeding these dudes is WORK!!
Mmmm, those tarts look FAB....& I dig that Cat!
Thanks!! I dig the cat too. She's crazy.
Fern Gully!!! Just hearing that reference made me giddy. And yes, we've also been having some fern gully moments over here as well!!
Now I want to see that movie haha We've had the same crappy weather as you guys...Mother Natures going through the change!!! haha I love my Norma Jean!!! lol Oh and the power of suggestion...very powerful!!! NOW I WANT TACOS!!! lol YUM!!!
What is with this rain??!!! We're getting hit hard too... ugh summer!!
The rain sounds horrible, but it did remind me of this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tseWiN87fYg and thereby this amazing solution... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttZ9jrqn790 🙂
Love those coffee mugs too - think mine would have to be the Dunk Mug!
Hahhahahahahaaa I forgot all about that!!! LOVE it!
I'm making tacos later this week! Funny post Heather. Maybe Tide is like catnip for kitty!
You might be right 🙂
We are always in taco mood... Just cant get enough of them and mac n cheese. lol
I always gravitate towards mac'n'cheese in the fall. Can't get enough of it.
Taco's... I made Taco Burgers last night!
Well... I think I need taco burgers. RECIPE PLEASE!!
Instead of breaking up the ground beef, just season it while its still raw & make it into patties. Use soft tortilla shells to sandwich the patties and top with the usual taco toppings. I used fresh guacamole, salsa, shredded pepperjack & cheddar, lettuce and tomato.
I'm coming over for dinner. Okay? Okay.
Is there room for one more? You can put me at the kids' table...I don't mind.
There is no kids' table but she definitely has a table for the cats and dogs. In fact... Jenn might have a cat named Esme too! I can't remember. I have to ask.
