Freaky Deaky

Matt and I watched this movie the other day and I don't think we'll ever be the same....eeeessh!

Anyone for cake?

Sundays were made for experimenting with new recipes.

This week: 1 giant cupcake topped with ice cream and a cherry made of icing. Bon Appetit!

I Love Playmobil, Halloween, AND eBay.co.uk!

I love Halloween! I know it's a few months away, but I'm already getting in the spirit of it!

Recently while in Toys 'R' Us looking for Sea Monkeys (Matt and I grew Sea Monkeys for FHE, the closest things to babies we'll be making for a few years), I regrettably passed the Playmobil section.

I haven't told many people this, but I have an obsession with Playmobil. Granted, I only had one figurine as a child and it was of a crappy looking little Indian man in an orange dress; I always longed for more, but my parents had already started me collecting something different and that turned out to be a lot of fun too.

Anyhow, what I love about playmobil is that they basically have every life situation covered in figurine form! Who thinks of these things?! I urge anyone who hasn't ever checked out their products to definitely do so. They have pieces right down to construction sites with porta potties, vending machines, vultures eating animal carcasses (for the stranded in a desert scenarios one might make up while playing), hospital ORs, Babies in incubators, a metro sexual living room, and the list goes on! It's nuts!

Seeing the tiny selection that Toys 'R' Us had made me immediately go home and see what their site had for this season and what I found was that Playmobil also has holiday stuff! I found a nativity that was way too cool for words and on top of that, I found Halloween figurines! The only crappy part was that they weren't available in the states! Man!

But, with a few clicks through the UK's ebay, I found the entire set and won those puppies for only £16.00! It was way cheaper than the rest of the stingy Brits that were selling their sets piece by piece.

I am SO proud and can't wait to display my Playmobil ghouls!

The Olympics Continue!

Matt and my Olympic madness continued this weekend by kicking off Track & Field with little brownie track stars! Check it out!

Behold our lovely little track men!

Here I am posing with my favorite little Italian runner. He has a cute little mustache.

Here's Matt with the only brownie man who had his own Olympic flag that was made from the broken leg of another brownie man... Hey, we waste nothing around here!

Here's Matt eating that flag....MMM!

USA is #1 fools!

Matt tore this guy up!

And finally, our first guest during all our Olympic festivities! Kristi stopped in just in time to bite the head off of our Jamaican runner! Yuuuuuummy!

We love the Olympics!

Habits in our Habitat

There are so many things I love about being married, but I don't post them all the time because that might get annoying to other people.

However, this time I just really wanted to because this is my blog and I can!

I love how over the past year Matt and I have started picking up each other's habits. Not bad habits, not necessarily good habits, just habits.

I'm a very organized person, I was raised that way. I was raised not to leave my room until my bed was made and to this day, it kills me to walk out of the room without leaving it in an orderly fashion.

When Matt came along, I soon found he would be nothing like me, so I never even tried to institute my way of living on him, I just let him do his thing.

After over a year, I finally came home from work and walked into out bedroom to see this:

Matt's pajama pants for this evening folded and hung right next to mine.

I know it's not much, but I thought it was really sweet that he saw how mine were ready for me at night and made his the same way. He's so cute.

Not so Gouda

You know you’ve hit rock bottom poor when you’re at the grocery store, you see them sampling $15.00 a ¼ lb cheese, and without hesitation, you run and shove the expensive cheese into your lactose intolerant mouth just because you miss expensive things.
Saturday I spent the rest of the night on benadryl, blotchy, and sick…but I lived the rich life for .5 wonderfully, disgusting seconds.

Let the Olympics Begin!!!

It's Olympic time and this year Matt and I kicked it off big time!

We began our night with Chinese food (of course) and then when it was time for the parade of flags.... we had A PARADE OF COOKIES!!!

Check it out!

This is me preparing the icing for the Olympic rings!

Ta da!

Matt squeezing USA under the rings! He loves decorating things and he's good at it too!

Behold our parade of cookie flags! Look closely at our lovely icing detail....especially on Kenya flag! I'm not trying to sound conceited, but these cookies rocked my face off! I almost don't want anyone to eat them!

Chef Tiffany and Chef Matt!

USA is A-OK!

Beijing 2008 Baby!

I can't wait to watch gymnastics!!!
