Photo Challenge! Day 03

Onward with my Photo Challenge!


Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show


OK. I love me some Real Housewives of Such and Such. Love. And I cannot choose between a few of them. So, in essense, I love them all:

LOVE Lisa. I am not sure if it is because she is British (and I have an unhealthy obsession with England) or if it's because she is fabulously snarky, I don't know. Just love her.

Kelly is psychotic. Ramona is pretty nuts too. Bethenny is wonderful. That is all.

NeNe needs help. Professional help. I have a small crush on Kandi.

I love that Danielle got her weave pulled out. She is unbalanced.

If you have never watched any of these, you have no idea who any of these ladies are and for that, I am sorry. You are missing out. If you have never watched any of these, your life has not been fulfilled.

Goodbye.

Photo Challenge! Day 02

Onward with my Photo Challenge!

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest


This one is easy as pie. Pecan pie! Or maybe key lime pie. Mmm...key lime.

That would be my bestest, Rachel. We have been best friends for 23 years. Yes, you read that right--2...3. We met when we were 3 and never looked back:

She is amazing in every sense of the word. I could not have asked for a better person to call my best friend. I am one lucky biznatch.

Love You, Rachey!

SOOOOO--Day 01 - A picture of yourself with ten facts:

1. I like to pretend I am British sometimes, so I speak with an accent. ;)
2. My husband is fluent in Hebrew and I like to pretend that I am too.
3. Watermelon is my favorite food.
4. I have (knock on wood) never broken a bone.
5. Since I don't drink often at all, I am a total lightweight (Eh Em...Ashley).
6. I am very afraid to fly, but do it if I have to...mild panic attacks usually accompany me on my journey.
7. I have never lived outside of Florida (Boo...).
8. I want to be a Labor and Delivery nurse.
9. I pick at my toenails when I am bored.
10. I despise hanging up clothes. Oh, and raking.

Empty frames and a movie.

There is something that I love about a few empty frames on a wall. What about you?

Funky and fun. Give it a try in your house for something interesting and away from the norm. :)

On Sunday, Ofir and I went to see Gnomeo and Juliet. We thought it was appropriate for Valentine's Day. Let me just tell you that this was the cutest, funniest movie! Two of my favorite british actors, James McAvoy and Emily Blunt, were"in it"...so it was bound to be good and cute.

It is so different watching a movie when there are tons and tons of children around. Without even realizing it, I was saying to myself "I am going to need these people to hush while this movie is on!" Then, I came to my senses almost immediately and realized that this was, in fact, a children's movie, so there was a slight chance that there would be children around. After that lightbulb came on, I enjoyed hearing them snicker at everything and dig through their cellophane candy bags like there was no tomorrow. Oh, and forgetting about using their inside voices. So funny!

My photography class that I was supposed to start tomorrow evening has been postponed due to an emergency with the teacher. Bummed, folks. Bummed.

Hope you have a fabulous evening! My cousin is gracing me with her presence tonight and I am gracing her with one of my gourmet pizzas! Mmm!

Love,

Children's movie-lover Extraordinaire

Kitchen. Redone!

Hi all! Happy Monday and Happy Valentine's Day, again. :)

I know I have said this before, but I am so pleased with the way the kitchen and guest bath came out. The guest bath still has a few more touch ups needed, paint-wise, before I can reveal that one. I know, people...torture waiting on these reveals. I know your entire day, and life really, revolves around my blog and the possibility of a reveal. Patience.

So, here is the fabulousness of the kitchen:

In case you can't tell, I love a crisp white kitchen counter-top. It just looks...oh I don't know...clean! And in case you forgot what it looked like before, I am here to remind you:

Remarkable change, if I do say so myself. A friend of mine, Chris, did this work and did an incredbile job at that! If you need any work done on your house, check out his website: http://www.iremodeljax.com or visit him on Facebook at IRemodel, Inc. He did a great job and I couldn't be happier! I know you will feel the same way! :)

Hope you all have a pleasant day!

Love!

Popsicles and Valentine's Day.

Yesterday morning I made E some homemade apple juice popsicles (I am not going to lie...I tried a bite and it was delish!). He has never had a popsicle before, so I think he was a bit confused. Anyways, here are a few pictures of how the consumption of the popsicle went down. God love him:

I guess the handle tasted better...

God forbid Mommy lays a hand on his treat and shows him the edible end.

That was that.

I am going to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day early! Enjoy your loved ones. Tell them you love them and treat them with love and kindness.

Have one of these:

Cute AND yummy. Can't go wrong.

Oh, and Hermione would like to wish you all a great weekend and wonderful holiday:

She is one classy lady, I tell ya. Such the diva. And such the heartbreaker.

Enjoy your weekend!

xoxo

Curmudgeon.

I learned a new word this morning: cur·mudg·eon. It means a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man. Ofir taught this wonderous word to me. If you didn't already know its meaning, then you learned a new word today too. You're welcome. Just spreading the wealth of knowledge. Now...use it in a sentence today, if at all possible.

Does anyone else's child have an obesession with the trash and/or toilet? WHAT is it with the unsanitariness that he loves so? I can't wrap my head around it. I am always saying "Leave the toilet alone!" or "Get out of the trash!"  Sounds like I am talking to a dog. Sadly, I am speaking to my human child.

I get to make more desserts today! I am so looking forward to it. Love me some baking. I will be sure to take a picture because they will be cute, I am certain of this.

Speaking of pictures. I have not forgotten about my big (wait for it...wait for it) REVEAL of the kitchen. Dun Dun Duuuun! I just can't seem to get rid of the dishes in the sink. They never stop. Ever. Just when I think I have them all clean, I turn around and a plate, 6 forks and 45 pots have reared their ugly head. In time, people. In time.

I am almost done with the painting in the guest bath. It is turning out splendidly cute. I will certainly (wait for it...wait for it) REVEAL that soon too! :)

One last complaint. I heard you just say "What a Debbie Downer!"  I blame it on the rain. Wasn't that a song by Milli Vanilli? Anyways, the single most annoying feeling and sound has got to be the crunch of a Cheerio underneath my bare feet. There is always that stray one that E has thrown from his high chair. I do my best to sweep up after meals, but there is always an escapee that I do not see and, inevitably, step on. Crrrrrruuuuunch. Poor me.

Have a great day! Watch out for the Cheerios.
