Friday Fun!! Friday Fun!!

by : Kristan
comment : 22

It’s Friday, it’s Friday!!

This week, I did lots of stuff.

I made food.

I ate food.

I went and saw that new scary movie with Harry Potter in it. Then I almost cried and begged my husband to take me home in the middle of it.  He didn’t because he knew I didn’t really mean it.  It was the fear talking.

I finished the first season of Vampire Diaries on Netflix.  And now I’m crazy in love with Damon Salvatore.  Those EYES.  Swoon.

My husband has been leaving me little Valentines surprises every day since February 1st.  Last night he didn’t get home from work until super late, and I was half-asleep on the couch.  He walked over and pulled a Brighton Heart Locket necklace from his pocket.  It had our photo inside.  Then I died from love.

This morning’s surprise was a letter stating the ten places he wants to take me and why.  One of them was London “so we can talk British and walk around laughing at people and things”.  See why I love him so?

Obviously I did other things this week besides crying from scaredness, dying from love, and lusting after a fake vampire.  Wanna see?

I made Valentines Twinkies on a Stick.  Who wouldn’t love one of these on Heart Day?

Did you watch The Bachelor this week?  Well.  I’m happy to report that it was completely disgusting and tacky.  Yay!!  You can read my recap HERE.

Do your decorating skills leave something to desired?  These cookies are super cute, and no smancy stuff required.  You can do it!!

Does your weekend require a cocktail?  This Girl Scout Cookie Shooter will do the trick.

After seeing THIS tutorial on Pinterest, I swore I was making Mustache Valentines this year.  Then I got busy and almost didn’t. Then yesterday, I decided to go for it.  They were done in about 20 minutes and I was picking them up from the pharmacy an hour later.  I love them!!

Of course, I did lots of other stuff this week too.  I participated in a Manatee Rodeo (you think riding a Bull is hard…) and ate approximately forty-seven Frosted Strawberry Pop Tarts.  Toasted, of course.

What did you do this week?  Tell me tell me tell me.

Have a happy weekend and thanks for stopping by!!

Thanks for reading!! I put lots of love into this post, so if you enjoyed it, please leave a comment, share, or subscribe. (As you can probably tell, I'm in constant need of validation, so this keeps me from questioning my self worth and crying into a box of wine) If, by some chance, you didn't enjoy the post, take it up with my personal zombie ninja.
About Kristan
I’m a proud housewife with a son in the second grade and a sweet baby girl. Like most little boys, my son funny and cute but a little weird. Which only makes me love him more. And the baby? Well...I know she'll sleep eventually. If I could, I would paint my life pink, sprinkle it with glitter, and give everyone a cupcake.

    Okay, a manatee rodeo? Wha?!?

    And I did miss the bachelor, except I don’t think “missed” is the correct word…maybe “avoided” would be more appropriate? What the heck?!? Is he wearing a loin cloth?

    Loved your week (‘cept for the Bachelor as I don’t watch) and my favourite has to been the Valentine’s you made for your son and all the special things your husband has been doing for you leading up to Feb. 14th. Have a great weekend.

    This week I made a valentine-y version of your peppermint patty brownie cups and they turned out fantastic! Thanks for the help! The other mom’s were definitely jealous ;-)
    Loved your recap of the bachelor, so much funnier than the actual show was. And next manatee rodeo give me a call, I wanna give it a whirl! :-)

    What ho, old sport? Is that how those Brits talk? Except for the Royal Family who talk posh. Manatee rodeo? Where? Count me in. Could you please clone your husband? He sounds like a real sweetie-pie. *Sigh.* I want one, too.

    I’ve been wandering around asking random friends if they like Twinkies (I don’t, but I assure you I am not a cyborg) and debating if I should make your Valentine’s version. Besides that I made 2 Valentine’s baskets, an Ombre Cake, and and am playing Cupid’s helper all weekend.

    I’m thinking of ways get my husband to read your post “by accident” and maybe pick up some pointers :)

    Love your comments on the creepy movie and taking little kids. As a mother with kids ranging from 24 to 5, I totally agree with you. I imagine those little kids ending up on some water tower in the future.
