I have really been into baking lately. I find it to be extremely relaxing. I told the fam that I plan to make a different dessert each night this week. Sunday night I made Pecan Pie. Well, it was a tad over cooked, but still tasty. Last night I made Ghiradelli choc chip cookies and they were yummy. I found that they really only need to be in the oven like 4 minutes instead of what the recipe called for- 8 mins. Tonight I plan to make lemon squares..wish me luck! So fun!!
If you wud like to share any of your favs then plz do.. oh, and btw..Does anyone own one of these?? If so, Plz comment and I wud like to know if its worth $35.

Good times in NYC

One night when I wasn't with "B" I was able to have a girls night out. For those of you that don't know the bars are open til 4 am. I met up with friend "M" and she took me to a couple of hot spots. I had a blast! Can't wait to go back and do it all again. The people in NYC are extremely friendly. I luv taking in the diversity and culture of the city.

Enjoying my last few days in NYC

Little behind on the posting. Still new to the blog world obviously, but I do have tons to post. :) Stay tuned. Enjoy! :)

I thought I would fill you in on how I am spending the last few days in this AWESOME CITY.
We got the TiVo fixed last night thank goodness, so I am watching recorded shows while surfing the web on my laptop in bed. This morning I woke up tired, obviously not from work or stress, but bc I cannot sleep here. I think it has to do with the fact that your mind gets over stimulated during the day. So many things to see, do, subways, and so on. "B" says that a lot of people actually have to sleep with ear plugs!! Crazy, huh?

Anyway, the firm that "B" works for has put him up in a really nice loft in the financial district in Manhattan. Not that he really gets to enjoy all the amenities bc he works so much, but that's what I'm here for! :)

So, my plan for today was to try out my new beauty product
I purchased yesterday while I was out and about. I know..looks weird, huh? Let me tell you- they are amazing!! I just took them off and luv the results. It says you can actually sleep in them, not sure about that. I left them on for about 2 hours or so. While I had them on, I could not believe how much I actually use my forehead muscles to talk, look up, laugh, etc. Which makes sense, right? That's why I'm seeing the "expression lines!" It was a bit uncomfortable and then I realized that this must be what it feels like to have Botox. When you remove them you still feel the tightness, but lines are gone. Can't wait to share with Mom. She's the product junkie! Like mother like daughter I guess. Uh..oh! The ladies at Neimans might not like my new find! LOL.

Luv you Mom..

Still a big fan of &




Today is the first day I have not met up with "B" for lunch. I decided to have taco and queso leftovers instead! Yes, after a month I needed a Mexican food fix, so we made tacos and queso a couple of night ago. NYC does not have queso, not even rotel. No worries though. "B" always being the prepared one had brought up rotel for us. :) that reminds me- we went herehttp://www.zabars.com/ and they did not have ground beef!! uhh!! what???

I laughed at the guy and said that us Texas gals need our red meat! He just grinned and said that they were a speciality grocery store. O..Kay, but we were able to find turkey ground.

I'll just wonder the city until it's time to meet up with "B" and his work friends.

In 30 years

I've found God, happiness, how to enjoy everyday to its fullest, how to find a bargain, how to make the best out of a situation, how to find the good in people, how to watch your back and look out for yourself, who your friends really are, how to distinguish a good wine from a great wine, the difference between a real hug and a fake one, that maybe I should have worn sunscreen after all, how things really don't always turn out like you plan, fried foods really aren't that bad for you, and the list goes on.
Because of all these things...
I know who I am and what I want.
NOW...if I could just find that other thing.
