I wanted to share a few new recipes I have come across for those of you with a sweet tooth like myself =] Unfortunately, I am unable to make these now due to my wedding coming up and ensuring my weight stays stabilized for my wedding dress. However, as soon as I return from my honeymoon its on in the kitchen with these scrumptious desserts!

***if you are a close friend of mine you know my LOVE for donuts! Since I have moved to OR I have been unable to find a good donut shop for a quick fix so I was stoked when I came across this!

a release
I need to rant!
I have never rented a tuxedo for anyone before so I definitely do not know the ropes in order to do so... Yesterday the bridal group headed over to Mens Warehouse to check out the attire for the boys. The boys drove separate from the girls and we met there. When I walked in the first female to help us did not introduce her self nor give us a small idea of what we would be doing to start off. She didn't care at all to inquire as to what we were looking for or what type of wedding we were having, needless to say already peeved and not being able to control it with my facial expressions. The boys were being fitted without me even knowing as I was given swatches basically to look at to make a BLIND decision of what I want the outfit to look like, since the store does not stock the product there to try on. I was given two shoe options to choose from, one shiny black shoe or two a shiny black and white shoe! Really two shoe options, and they are both shiny? WTF! To top it off we won't be seeing the rental until two days prior to the wedding when the boys can pick it up. Are you kidding me?!?!? That is pretty stupid way to run a business of renting things out for such important events. I was livid at the end, so livid I was red in the face. Come to find out by talking to the fiance and a mutual guy friend, this is how all rental places work for tuxedos. BLAH!
Although I am happy with what I picked out and pretty glad it is checked off the to do list, I am extremely disappointed in the service and overall experience at Mens Warehouse. I hope I never have to go there again!!!

Pinterest is an online pin board that helps organize things you love...says the website. and.... it is right, when I first heard about this site from close friends I thought it sounded lame and did not interest me at all! However, I requested a login about a month or so ago and have been addicted to this site ever since.
So, you know when you are online and you come across things that are super amazing but you may not have a printer (like myself) to print it out. Well, now you can pin it to your Pinterest boards and save it for life and access it later =p
I have saved things for my future home, ideas for a baby room when it is time and just random cute things for holiday ideas & birthday ideas etc.
Just wanted to share this with those ladies and some gents who may not be familiar with it!
ENJOY!

another year gone....welcome 2012
I am not too big into traditions and I usually don't ever make New Year's resolutions...
but, this year I have a few things I want to change in my life starting today!
1) stop being so considerate towards others when they don't ever return the kindness
2) stop caring what others think & do EXACTLY what makes ME happy, period!
3) control my tendency to worry
4) become content with myself physically
5) remember that life is short & try to live each day happily
6) surround myself with people that make me happy not people that make me feel bad
7) exercise three times a week to feel HEALTHY
8) continue to hope that people realize everyone has different opinions and lives, and that it is OK
9) be more thankful for what I have now and not envious of others who have more
10) learn more about anything and everything
p.s. I was waiting all 2011 for 2012 to arrive =] I am getting married this year...in 69 days to be exact.
