Friday Fun!! Friday Fun!!
It’s Friday, yo!!
This week, I did lots of stuff.
I made food.
I ate food.
I almost finished the second season of Downton Abbey. I’m halfway through the Christmas episode, but I’m dragging it out because I don’t know what I’m going to do when it’s over. I need a new obsession.
I finally bought those Dill Pickle Cashews from Target that my friend Shelly told me about. Ah mah gah…where have those things been all my life? I kind of want to marry them.
I’m desperate for a new book that is going to suck me in like The Hunger Games, but no luck so far. I’ve tried Matched and Delirium, and while they’re both great…they’re no Hunger Games. But I do recommend, if you like a good YA novel.
Speaking of Hunger Games, I saw it twice last weekend. Team Peeta, the end.
Also…are you watching American Idol this season? Team Phillip Phillips, the end.
I’ve looked at THIS necklace online approximately 158 times this week. I want it I want it I want it.
Of course, I did lots of other stuff this week. Wanna see?
I made chocolate eggs with a fun Easter surprise inside. They’re so fun and easy!! All eggs should be made out of chocolate, if you ask me.
This week’s Whatta Man Monday is the Cougar Edition. You heard me. Get over there and vote!!
I made Sugar Cream Pie. It’s what they feed unicorns and fairies, is what I’ve heard.
How does the Hunger Games movie compare to the book? Is it appropriate for kids? I’m sharing my thoughts HERE.
I made Chocolate Key Lime Pie Cups. They make all your troubles go away.
Are you nosy like me? This week on That’s What She WE Said, Jenny from Picky Palate is giving us a peek inside her purse.
Want to win something fun? I’ve got an awesome giveaway going HERE.
Stuff that caught my eye this week:
Cinnamon Toast Greek Yogurt Dip from Bake Your Day
Cadbury Creme Egg Brulee from Culinary Concoctions by Peabody
Dr. Pepper Cake for Two from Dessert For Two
Homemade Fudge Pops from Brown Eyed Baker
Can you believe I did all that AND went to the White House, where I drank too much Dr. Pepper and almost peed my pants? I’ve got SUCH a busy life. Sigh.
I hope you have fabulous weekend. Happy Friday!!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise. 
AWww, thanks for linking to my Dr Pepper cake! :) You’re the SWEETEST!
I’ve been steadily avoiding the dill pickle cashews. But thanks to peer pressure, I will buy them today! Ah!
Thanks for the link Kristan! You are the best. Especially for telling me about the dill pickle cashews. Guess I know where I’m headed at lunch. Thanks for always making me laugh!
You should try Divergent by Veronica Roth. I liked it better than Matched.
Try the Birthmarked trilogy by Carah M. O’Brien. I thought it was on par with The Hunger Games.
Another vote for Divergent – http://www.amazon.com/Divergent-Trilogy-Quality-Veronica-Roth/dp/0062024035/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333123220&sr=1-1 . ANd it’s sequel will be coming out on MAy 1st.
Those cashews rule my life.
As for the necklace – two words – Mother’s Day! Oh and you probably deserve the bracelet and earrings that match (if there are any) seeing that you gave birth. Good Luck!
I love that our obsessions are THE EXACT SAME.
I’m making shirts.
If you are looking for a new series, I highly recommend reading the complete series of Sherlock Holmes- nothing like a good mystery. Plus, I think they boost your IQ by a few points every time you read them!
I still haven’t started Downton Abbey…but pretty sure I got the hubs on board, so first hurdle accomplished! :) And, I might start reading a series called The Maze Runner. A friend who loves Hunger Games said that if I liked HG, then I would like the Maze Runner series. We’ll see!!
Well as usual. I enjoyed reading and looking at everything, thank you! I like the color of the necklace very much but it isn’t style I would wear. I hope you get to get it! :D
You said: “I’ve tried Matched and Delirium, and while they’re both great…they’re no Hunger Games.”
I have three books next to my bed right now: Mockingjay (HG book 2), Crossed (Matched book 2) and Delirium. Clearly meant to be! :)
PLEASE DON”T MAKE IT TEAMS!!! :) THIS AIN’T TWITLIGHT!!!!
Those cashews are one of the best things in the world! Thankfully the closest Target is over an hour away so I limit myself to only 1 container whenever I do go into Target.
divergent is soooooo good! i loved hunger games and then heard that divergent was along the same lines, so i reluctantly read it and then ended up liking it even better than HG! i can’t wait for the next one!
You are pretty funny but now my fiance wants homemade googoo clusters. omg. OK, rock n roll!
ok in case you can’t tell I’m finally going back through my reader and reading weeks worth of blog posts. :) I have to ask, how are you watching season 2 of downton abbey? Where is it? how do I watch it? I just finished season 1, am of course obsessed, and don’t know how to see season 2. :( Help!
