Strawberry Tequila Kisses

Even though Mother's Day is NEXT Sunday,
I made my beautiful Nohno some yellow cupcakes w/ strawberry frosting. I am going to make her some red ones next time.


(Nohno posing for me - LOL)


Krys & I have treated our Nohno w/ the cupcakes, a pedicure and her first eyebrow waxing as an early Mother's Day presents considering we will be in Gainesville visiting w/ our Nohno Mado for Mother's Day. Ever since Nohno Mado has been in the hospital we have been trying to go visit her every other weekend.

Hopefully we can take her out to Crackel Barrel (Nohno loves their buttermilk pancakes) for Mother's Day breakfast. We'll see what SHE wants to do. It is her day after all. LOL

A special Happy Mother's Day to my auntie Linda and my sister Sunshine. Two ladies I have NEVER said "Happy Mother's Day" to. :o) Hope to meet their bundles of joy soon!

Oh yeah! Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!! AllRecipes.Com put together some fun looking recipes on their website... Just to think I was just looking for some summer type recipes.
Some Tequila

To My Sister

As I sit here and reminisce on all the things that have happened in my 28 years on Earth, I doubt there are a lot of things in my life that make me smile as much as my family does. At this time I am missing one person in particular. Hopefully the next conversation I have with her is tomorrow. I am going to request that we go down memory lane.

Do you remember when you used to mix together soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic salt, water and oranges and made me sample your cuisine? I painfully do. You said you were the next Julia Childs.

Do you recall asking me if I think girls get hurt when somebody junk punches them? I may not recall the 1st experience, but I sure as hell remember the 2nd. And to answer your question... HELLS YEAH THAT SHIT HURTS!

Do you have any recollection of me saving your life? That was the 2nd scariest day of my life. I recall fogged glasses and you yelling at me. After you finished yelling at me I remember pulling you out and crying.

Do you have any memories of that day when I told you he was too young for you? Every time I think of that day, my heart tightens. What I also remember vividly is when he said “I do” to you March 3rd, 10 years later. Hopefully you do not recall the advice I gave you. I was so off.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember any of those memories. I do. I have the distinct feeling that I will NEVER forget. These are stories I will be telling our children and their children. I hope we get to make more memories not only together but w/ everyone else that matters.

Thank you for being my sister & loving me the way you do. I wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world… well maybe for 50 million dollars. Not a penny less.

Mummies, Vampires & Literature... Oh My!

I finally got my organic vegan 100% natural (whatever that means) soap from http://oracleorganics.com/. I have used the "Purify" soap which is a salt bar w/ green tea extract. I can honestly say that I like the product thus far. I've been sniffing the bars of soap, they remind me of my mom's spice cabinet. I really like it.

On Friday, "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" came out. I am a fan of the "The Mummy" series so I HAD to go. A lot of great special effects, explosions, rapid gun fire, bazookas, martial arts, fight scenes, resurrecting the dead and of course Brendan Fraser. So basically a typical Mummy movie. I liked it. Moving on...

Also on Friday, rather at 12:00 a.m. Aug. 2nd, was the release "party" of Stephanie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn". It was just as big as the whole Harry Potter situation at Books-A-Million. I normally do not accompany Krys but I was the one that pre-purchased her book & I was curious as how one of these things operate. It was pretty interesting to say the least.

After 2 HOURS inside of Books-A-Million... This is ALL I got.

Just joking! I had a BLAST w/ Krys.
