Pretty Pink Things

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

By now I’m sure you all know how much I love the color pink. Aside from green, it is my most favorite color. Unfortunately, my husband does not always share my sentiment. However, we have recently made some fun pink purchases (aside from my kick ass cuckoo clock) that I felt like sharing with you here just because!

That’s right. A hot pink chef’s knife. The hubs wanted to reward my recent cooking stint by buying me a knife he knew I would be excited to use: a pink one. He stumbled on these colorful knives by Pure Komachi while browsing one of his favorite blogs, TheKitchn. Although I am light years away from being the next Bitchin Camero, fun tools definitely inspire to work harder. Who knows? Maybe I’ll blog about my next adventure in cooking 101. ;)

Also, excuse my workout gear. My workout face also came included with said outfit which is why I decided it was best to leave it out.

First off, I’d really like to express my gratitude for every one’s concern on Twitter when I mentioned that my baby girl, Gwen, had to have an emergency trip to the vet after she developed a cyst (what seemed like overnight) and then managed to pop it leaving a bloody, scary mess. The good news is that she is healthy and the cyst was not deemed malignant in any way, shape or form. Because I was worried that it developed because of her collar and her constant tugging and pulling while out on walks, I decided it would be best to get her a harness. I’m a big fan of Puppia harnesses, but am not always a fan of the prices. Luckily, I was able to find a similar style at Pet Supermarket over the weekend and it came in pink! I think she looks absolutely adorable and no longer chokes herself while being walked. I may be able to take her along to pet-friendly events now without fear of her hurting herself. Merry Christmas, Gwen!

Lovable Friday!

1. We are under contract!

I’m happy to report that after 6 months of house hunting, we are finally under contract on a beautiful 3/2 home with a 2-car garage and pool (no, that is not the house pictured)! We got the great news yesterday and I haven’t stopped smiling like a magpie ever since. Granted, we still have to go through the inspection, finalize the application for our mortgage and close – but this is still really exciting for us. I’m not going to post any pictures of the house just yet, but I can tell you that it’s wonderful! I can’t wait to start decorating it and making it our own. Expect many more home decor posts from me in the next coming weeks and months. Best part is: I get to share the progression of our first home with all of you on this blog! Squee!

Video Blog | 2

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

So I hadn’t done a vlog in sometime and I figured it was time. Except, if I remember correctly from last time – my dogs were a bigger hit than I was so I thought it was best to give them the limelight this time around! Enjoy the insanity that is Gwen & her manic episodes, Brad-Pitt’s attempt to regulate and my high-pitched baby slash puppy voice.

Sorry for the brief & boring blog posts lately – we are having a pretty big audit at my job that we need to pass with flying colors. The assault begins today and lasts through to Friday. So wish me luck!

Vloggin’

Vlog #1 from Melificent on Vimeo.

I have to admit, I felt really silly making my first Vlog and it is short & kind of awkward & ridiculous, but it has puppies. And puppies totally cancel out any awkward ridiculousness. Right? Of course.

Here you get to meet my two little furry monsters: Brad-Pitt & Gwen (Stefani). Although Gwen didn’t behave at all, Brad-Pitt was definitely trying to be a stud for the camera. My favorite part? The epic battle that ensues after I get up to turn off the camera. You gotta love those two.

You also get to meet my silly high-pitched voice (which only gets freakishly higher when excited) and my bedroom of complete disarray. I promise I am usually a very neat and organized person. Just not today apparently.

So I suppose I’m testing out these little videos of myself because I have this project in mind, but first want to test out if vlogs would even be popular on here. So leave your feedback on my silly little video. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Did you think I looked like a complete dork making an ass out of myself? Do share.

And have a lovely Tuesday. ;)

Weekend Highlights

Saturday, as planned, the hubs and I along with some friends headed over to the Youth Fair. It was ridiculously hot & humid, but that didn’t stop us from eating a lot of fried food and taking an insane amount of photos (and video). I was surprised to see the Fair so empty. It felt like it was a weekday! But we didn’t complain, there were no lines and no large groups of obnoxious people. The highlights for me were the free petting zoo and corndogs. Later that day, we had our friends over for some beers, video games and a little ringlight action.
