My WEEKEND

HAPPY NEW YEARS! I've had an action packed break. We had a great Christmas and traveled to Alabama to visit Jim's side of the family. I hope all of you enjoyed your Christmas.

This past weekend we had Bryan and Brandi come into town. It was a great weekend :) What did you for New Years?

Friday night Brandi and I went to Akina :)

Here is a picture of my favorite roll, the TEMPTATION ROLL.

Saturday we relaxed in the sun! It was in the 80's this weekend. Now it's cold again and we get down in the 30's tonight! BURRRR!!!

Here is Brandi enjoying her Blissjito :)

I combined the mojito and citrus bliss and created a blissijto.

Recipe: 1 shot of RUM, sparkling water, mint, and a splash of OJ.

While at Milliania mall last weekend I found some Jimmy Choo multi colored glitter shoes and fell in love. They were $700 and you know my ass would NEVER pay that for a shoe, but guess what?? I found some similar ones at JC PENNYS for $19 :)

I'm really into this multi-colored glitter so I painted my nails to match my shoes.

We rang in the New Year at Bella Collina. It's one of the best New Years I've ever had filled with lots of champagne, dancing, and food :) 3 of my favorites.

The holidays were packed full of calories and now I'm back on the weight watchers train. I made some tuna tar tar and wanted to share this healthy recipe!! It's SO DELISH and EASY!

You can ask your grocery store to give you some sushi grade tuna at the sushi counter.

Dice tuna, cucumber, avocado into tiny pieces. Mix soy sauce, a dash of sugar, sesame seed oil, and rice vinegar. (I also use garlic and ginger) pour over your tuna and serve. It's better than any sushi restaurant.

Yesterday the dogs went to the groomer and got new haircuts for the New Year!

Now it's back to work! I'm going to get organized this year and my first step is color categorizing all my christmas decor. WISH ME LUCK!

The Sleeping Piglet

No, I'm not a pig person.  My mother sent me an e-mail of this pig that was on EBAY, along with a message, "Ryan, these pigs are a symbol of good luck, you keep them by your front door."  Our family is very superstitious so I bid on the pig, thinking that I could use it as a door stopper.

Well yesterday I had this tiny cell phone box come in the mail.  I was excited thinking someone had sent me something and to MY SURPRISE it was the damn pig I spent $12 on.  I took it out and was amazed I had spent $12 on a tiny dirty dollar general pig.  I called mom and said, next time you tell me something is good luck, make sure it's something I need in my house.  She laughed and said return the pig, well I can't since you told me it's good luck and if I return it I don't want to have bad luck.  I know I'm crazy, but the piglet has grown on me and now I have put him in the flower pot right next to the front door.  So now I will have good luck and a blessed house by my dirty sleeping piglet.   

Snails Out the WaZoo!

(Snail on my sunshine nose, looks like a nose ring)

I have never seen so many snails in my LIFE!! They're EVERYWHERE! Their in my herb box, flowers pots, on the outside walls, and have gravitated to my sunshine's.  I have collected sunshine's ever since high school.  I love them!  I'm eyeing this huge sun burst the size of a coffee table, but I'm so cheap I can't bring myself to buy it.  I keep thinking it will go on sale, well it hasn't and I have been wanting it for over 6 months now.

SHOOT, I have gotten of the subject of my snails.  So the snails have invaded our house, I can't even sit down on my patio chairs without feeling some underneath me.  I started to power wash the lanai off the other day and felt sorry for them, they're so cute but so many of them.  I'm not sure what to do.  I will began my research.
