Busy, Busy, Busy...

     Such a busy few days... How was every one's holiday weekend?!?! Mine was wonderful. I got a basket and a lock for my bike. I'm like an official cyclist now... Lol. Not quite but it's still fun. I grilled out with friends on Saturday & then with family on Sunday. On Monday, I went back to a friend's and grilled out again. Today I went and seen Hangover 2. Ok it was totally raunchy but you still can't help but to laugh at it. It has been super hot here too the past 2 days. Today was like 91*. Ugh, wow. It's still hotter in TN though. Cuss word... Also, today I applied for a job. Yes, I have been jobless for the past 3 months. It was a nice break and in the middle of moving, it didn't always feel like a break... But I am excited to get back to working. I really do enjoy it! : )

As for the week's inspirations...

I need this now!!! It just makes me smile... (click link)

I cannot get enough of this song right now...

Isn't this just the prettiest lil updo!!!  <3

p.s. People and products in my videos, pics, etc. do not pay me to endorse them. They are truly just my fave things... :)

Rainy Days...

     I have never seen so much rain! It has been crazy weather here and it's suppose to be worse today... And all I want to do is ride my bike. I come from a farm so I never got to ride a bike. Now that I have relearned how to ride a bike, I've got bike fever. I want to like ride to the farmer's market and put fresh flowers in my basket... And go to the post office or the theater or anywhere else!!! Lol. See, bike fever!!! Last night Zech was supposed to have a singing at school called "Is a Camel a Mammal?" Bahaha... But the roads were flooded so it is rescheduled for next Wednesday. Random... Does anyone have any tips on sketching? I'm so bad at it!!! I have sketch books and all the really good pencils... I'm just still not good at anything besides a heart and stick people. : )

CURRENT INSPIRATIONS:

I want a painted elephant!!! Or just a trip to India... 

Nicki Minaj "Super Bass" Yes, yes... I know. She is crazy but I adore her. <3

Farmer's Markets... Fresh food. Local food. I can't get enough... : )

What inspires you?!?! Inspire me, please...

We survived...

Well people... We survived the weekend... Woo woo. And it was also my beautiful mother's birthday. That was the best part of the weekend. : ) She is so anti-birthday so we had just a small dinner. It was great though. Until this year, I lived on a farm far away from the outside world so we never got any visitors. But this year living the middle of a city, we got lots of birthday visitors. It was splendid day for sure. Flowers from the farmer's market. Fresh steaks from the local butcher. Bottles and bottles of wine... Today was 1 of 3 of Oprah's last shows. Did anyone watch it?!?! OMG loved it. Can't wait for tomorrow and Wednesday's episodes. And then at midnight on Wednesday night, HANGOVER 2!!! I know I said that last post but I'm just very excited. Did anyone check out any of the things from my last post?!?! Hmmm... I will forgive you this time. ; )



LOVE this blog I found. CHECK IT OUT.

As for a recipe, I'm going to post my own...

I am horrible at actually measuring stuff out so all these are the "rough" amount... : )

GRILL STUFFED ONIONS:

- 3 large Vidalia onions

- 3/4 c blue cheese (crumbled)

- 3/4 c feta cheese (crumbled)

- 1 c whipped cream cheese

- salt, pepper, paprika, basil, parsley, garlic, & any other herbs you can't live without!!!

- disposable aluminum tray (8 x 8 or roughly that)

     Hollow out the 3 onions into little onion bowls (keep it about 1/2 in thick on the bottom and sides). Keep the onion guts for later. : ) Mix the 3 cheeses and add seasonings to your taste. Add more cheese if you want... Stuff the onion bowls with mix and place in tray. Put onion guts around the onions and smother with the rest of the mix. Cover with aluminum foil and put on the grill on med-low for about 45 minutes. Then uncover and cook for 15 more minutes or until the cheese starts getting crunchy on top. Slice and serve or use with crackers as a dip. SO YUMMY!!!

If you have any questions on it, just email or comment me...

I NEED THIS BAG!!! It is on back-order now but it will be mine. <3

What music are you guys currently listening to? I love anything Nicki Minaj. <3 <3 <3 her. Also, I'm loving some old Johnny Cash and Old Crow Medicine Show. I know. I know. Very different music but I love all music. There is no such thing as HORRIBLE music. Some I might not care for but I never hate music. : )

Tuesday Tasks...

So it's Tuesday... I survived Monday... Tonight I'm baking cupcakes and watching "The Hangover". I LOVE THAT MOVIE... I cannot wait for the 2nd one. Less than 2 weeks away. Woo woo. Also, I'm kinda a cupcake queen. I make the best white cupcake with cream cheese icing. But my fave one that I invented was a PB&J one... White cupcake injected with grape jelly and topped with peanut butter icing (my buttercream icing that I just throw a dollop of peanut butter in). It's so fun... :) Tomorrow my 7 yr old brother is going on a field trip to a farm... It's amusing because we grew up on a farm and now he is having to pay to see cows. I love it. Lol. Well I have been debating on how to do this blog... I think each Monday (this week Tuesday) I'm going to post a beauty, a craft, and a recipe link... Then, hopefully, throughout the week I will get feedback on it you guys tried any of it... Sounds fun to me at least. :) Maybe even a movie suggestion. I dunno... It might change a lot.

Hugs & Heart,

How fun is this tape... What crafts can you create?!?!



I promise this is the best coffee cake ever. <3 <3 <3

I know it's not Halloween but I <3 this makeup tutorial... Never to early to start planning this year's costume!!!

Also, right now I'm completely obsessed with GLEE and Bert the Conqueror. Check them both out!!! You will not regret it... Bert isn't that popular but he is so funny.

Hmmm...

     In all honesty I don't know what I'm going to write about... I have such a passion for so many things that I feel like I should share with people... I'm the oldest of 3 and have a brother in law as well. I recently moved from a itty, bitty town in TN to just 15 minutes from Detroit. I moved from my hometown with my parents and little brother. Leaving behind my sister and brother in law was terribly hard but it makes our time together so much sweeter... I'm going to attach some links of some of my fave things just to understand me better... And I promise all of my posts won't be this boring. I just didn't know how to start my 1st post. :)

Hugs & Heart,

Meg
