Spring will be here this Thursday and always reminds me of this lady. She was my confidant and one of my best friends. Not a day has gone by that I don't miss her. She would have been 94 on April 13th.
I definitely got my jewelry liking from her. She had beautiful jewelry. Even if she was cleaning, she had her earrings on. :-) I have gotten into stacking bracelets lately. I found these awesome cheap bangles @ http://ishoplarue.com.
So I wasn't quite sure I liked the Chevron print that everything is being made with but I do I do! I got this one shoulder top and this taupe/black dress from
my friend's MIL boutique. I haven't worn them yet but how cute are they ?!?
Another thing I have been loving lately are Cuties!!! Could be the 5 pound box was on sale ;-) So easy to peel and so good
Speaking of Cutie, I got a Boston Terrier bobble head from my husband for
V-Day ! I have always wanted one and she is awesome on my dash :-)
So I have long had the reputation of totally butchering song lyrics... I guess there are worse reputations to have. ;^) The person this has tickled most has to be my BFF. Probably because she knows every lyric to EVERY song ever made!! Or I guess it could be that I always botch the lyrics in front of her. HA In my defense, I recorded snippets from the 'questionable' songs....
Example #1 Trace Adkins "Gone Fishin"- Perfectly cute song about a Daddy happy to be making memories with his daughter. We are in the car and I am singing (or a clown was being strangled) and I sing "Nuttin too malnicious" I say to BFF what is malnicious? She is like huh? He said nuttin too ambitious and I am like nawwww he said MALNICIOUS. New word created right there- Mal-ni-cio-us = to be ambitiously malicious. Someone call Websters stat...
Example #2 The Script "For the first time"- On my way to pick up BFF at work, I hear this and am blown away that the local radio station wouldn't bleep out a cuss word. She gets in the car and I say I cant believe it but they just played the cuss word. She said what cuss word? I said listen.... "drinking cheap bottles of wine, sh*t talking up all night." She is laughing and says nooo it is sit talking. Sit Talking? Like what is that? I mean if we arent gonna sh*t talk each other and say that your grandma wears combat boots..I am not interested in being up all night. Just saying.....
Example #3- Saved the best for last but I can't take credit for this doozy. :) Working at Central Hardware, we would listen to the radio while we were closing up at night. A cashier asked me to turn it up because she LOVED this song. It was from the second Karate Kid movie. So she is singing, "I am a man who will fight for Euroanna" I said what did you just say. She said it again. I said what is Euroanna? She shrugged and said "I guess a country in Europe??" Best lyric mess up EVER!!
I love manicures!! I am blown away at how intricate some people can get. I can't even draw stick figures HA. My nails were already painted a light ivory. I printed my hearts on vinyl but Pinterest suggested using masking tape and a scrapbook cutout.
I slapped the stickers on and lightly painted a coat of red.....
After I impatiently waited for them to dry, I took the vinyl off and then painted a topcoat.
How cute and easy!! Oh the possibilities .... shamrocks, crosses, American flags :-)
4 ingredient PB Cookies I can not NOT make these cookies lately :-) I got the recipe from my BFF. One cup sugar, one cup of pb, one egg and sea salt. Mix sugar, pb and egg together and roll into balls. Flatten with fork and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake @ 350 for 8 -10 mins. No flour at all!!
I made these awesome green beans and the recipe was definitely a Shananigan's recipe!! Easy + 5 ingredients or less = Right up this chicks alley ;-) All you need is about 1 pound of fresh green beans, olive oil, salt n pepper, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
Start with washing and cutting off the ends of your beans
Drizzle olive oil over beans, just enough to coat. Sprinkle w/pinch of salt n pepper and as much garlic powder as you like. Place green beans on cookie sheet and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over them.
Bake for about 12 -15 minutes @ 400 degrees
Parmesan Roasted Green Beans :-) They are crisp outside and tender inside.
