I've been playing with the Booze again**

(photos taken with my iphone)

I love the internet
I am always finding something that inspires and amazes me
Jeffrey Morgenthaler 
has a fun blog and bartending forum
I bottled my own sparkling cocktail with his instructions
~and a Twist & Sparkle~
and was very pleased with the results


**They are pretty and delicious**

Best of both worlds- chicken noodle wonton soup


(made with my scrap app)

I love chicken noodle soup
the boyfriend loves Won-ton soup
so in an effort to please both of us at the same time
I blended the two
and it was fantastic
won-tons are very easy to make
there's a great folding tutorial here

*this is now going into heavy recipe rotation in our house*

Boyfriend Birthday!







The Boyfriend is 30!
(he can't believe it either)
we had a great time
*and some delicious burgers*
at Hom
in Downtown Charleston
there was Ping Pong
and lots of Fireball Whiskey
it couldn't have been any better!

Today is going to be a good day
I found a pair of earrings 
**that I lost three years ago**
they were my favorite
I was very sad when they disappeared
I've never been able to find a affordable replacement
(i found them in a suitcase pocket!)


maybe I should buy a lottery ticket too

No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it. ~Grace Slick

My bedroom has always been my favorite room in the house
and since we bought a beautiful Anthropologie quilt 
*it has jump started my desire to really decorate the bedroom*
my furniture is lovely
but that's all we are working with so far
~we don't even have curtains~
**sigh**

This is my bedroom set
minus the ficus tree 
it's dark with lots of accent tones

~This bedroom is amazing~
the dark grey wall color is bold
the accent colors 
keep it from being too dark
and it has alot of personality

Now the hard part is getting off of pinterest 
and getting motivated
