27 years on this Earth

I am old. I feel old. I have wrinkles. I get winded. I can't lose weight anymore by just not eating cereal each meal. My most favorite thing in the world is sleep. I would take a nap every day if I could....in fact, I asked my boss if we can start incorporating "nap time" at work. 

I did have a fun family birthday party though. Ryan set it up and bought pizza. My brother and his gf Ali got me the worlds coolest cake. 


My sweet baby is photo bombing me. Cutest photo bomb ever.

TV is like my mostest favoritest hobby ever

I am so addicted to TV. I love it like it's my child. If it was way way cool to eat whatever you wanted and sit in front of the TV 24-7...I would. I don't even care. I am going to share with you my favorite tv shows. Some have multiple seasons..but you can watch them on hulu or netflix. AND if you are really cool, then you would just buy them. These are not in order of me loving them or making love to them. They are all my TV children and I love them all the same. 

1. True Blood. Basically it's vampire porn. Not one person on this show is ugly. They are all freaking sexy beasts and I would totally be a ''fang banger". Watch the show and you will get it. And you will thank me. 


2. Vampire Diaries. Again, I know...vampires. I can't help it! They are sexy and mysterious and sexy. This shows cast are all beautiful. I wish I lived in this show. I want to be part of a Salvatore sandwich so so soooo bad. 


3. Psych. It is now in it's 6th season and I swear to you it's the funniest show ever. Me and Ryan love it's stinking guts. It always makes me want pineapple...and I want to be a cop and be best friends with Shawn and Gus.


4. Game of Thrones. This show is bad ass. The first season just came out to buy. Buy it!!! Winter is coming. Oh! And the 2nd season is starting in April. 


5. Once Upon A Time. I was worried this would be dumb. It's not. And it makes me want to be a princess or a bounty hunter.


6. New Girl. If you have not watched this yet...then you are stupid. And are you living in a cave? It's so freaking funny. I find similarities between me and Jess and I realized something...I am a total dork and I am ok with that. Wayyy ok with that.


7. Smash. This show is good. Kinda like Glee, but grown up. Not as much singing. Ryan doesn't like it, but at least he'll sit in bed with me and check soccer scores online. I thought he'd run from the room screaming at the top of his lungs if I made him watch a show about Broadway. 


8.Secret Circle. The wardrobe stylist for this show rocks my socks. And its about witches!!! And its cool! And spooky!!! 


9. Ringer. This one is way way good and it keeps you on your toes. You are always like "NO WAY! OH MY GOSH!" during the show. Then when the episode ends you are like "Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"


10. Desperate Housewives. I have been watching these lovely ladies since it started. It's in its last season right now and I am so beyond sad about it. I am definitely a Susan. I love this show. I can honestly say I am really sad its ending. I think you can watch most of the seasons on Hulu or get them on Netflix. I just want to buy all of them and watch it over and over.

Great World of Harry Potter at the Mitchell's

Last weekend was fun. Fun indeed. We had Harry Potter night. I made Butter Beer and Pastry Puffs. They both were delicious and I will definitely be making them again. As you know..we love Harry Potter. Some may say I am obsessed. Maybe I am....and I say that there is nothing better to be obsessed with. I say to the people who make fun of my Harry Potter love that they are RIDDIKULUS!!!!

Here are the recipes:
Butter Beer

2 liter cream soda
2 tablespoons Butter extract
2 teaspoons rum extract
*drop the extracts into the 2 liter bottle, put on cap and slowly rotate until combined.


Cream topping:
1 7oz container of marshmallow creme
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon rum extract
*add all items together in an electric mixer and combine until smooth.

Pastry Puffs (Heather style)
1 tub of the Toll House choc. chip cookie dough
1 brownie mix 
Oreos
1st make the brownie mix (but don't bake the brownies k?)
2. take a muffin pan and put in the cute little paper muffin/cupcake cups
3. put a spoonful or so of the raw cookie dough
4. press in an Oreo in the dough
5.Scoop some brownie mix on top of the Oreo.
6. Bake at 400 for 16-20 minutes

I forgot to take a picture like a dumb ass...but just trust me. They were so freaking good. I convinced myself they were full of fiber and protein...no sugar or calories at all. So I had like 5.

In love with Down East

I didn't have anything really to do on my lunch today. Soooo, I went up the street to Down East. Holy freak..I want everything there. Furniture, clothes, home decor. I want to open up a credit card with them...charge it to the MAX...then claim someone stole it and racked up all those bills...and then just get it all for free... Is that illegal?
Yes, yes it is. And that is why I am just joking. Or am I???

1) How cool is this coffee table. It is kind of old world looking...I want it. 


2) And I also want this cool Native American looking coffee table/ottoman thing. I'd love it forever. It has nail head trim around it (which I am obsessed with)

3) Then there is this beauty. I love the greenish aged color to it and the cool kind of rusty caster wheels.

4) And then there is this kitchen table. I am in love with this and the so so cute chairs that are with it. The decorations on the table are pretty cute too.
