Monster Java

Everybody loves Coffee, right? I know there are probably a handful of people on the Planet who don't. On the rare occasion that I've met one, I still find it hard to believe. I used to sneak coffee upstairs as a kid. I was around 8 years old. My Mom saw me one day and invited me to the kitchen table. It wasn't actually forbidden in my household, so the sneaking around was for nothing.

While in New York for Fashion Week, I was able to sample a new kind of caffeinated drink. Monster energy drinks has unleashed a whole new slew of liquid. Think caffeinated coffee with some Protein. It's the perfect pick me up during the chaos that is known as New York Fashion Week. Ice cold to the throat and delicious to the last drop. While I downed "Mean Bean" a savory vanilla flavored coffee, my assistant polished off "Loca Moca" a decadent chocolate flavored drink.

My only dilemma? I can't seem to track down Monster Java back home. I really need some "Mean Bean" vanilla in my daily routine. Where can I find it in Raleigh??

Leap of Faith

How was your Sunday? I hope it went well. I celebrated Easter with my family. Holiday reunions usually mean gossip, laughter, and food. We also made sure to pray for those in need and thanks for our blessings.



I ate so much this weekend. That vanilla cake I made in the post below? Well, I alone consumed 40% of it, along with 3 frosted cupcakes. Talk about cake crazy! I also tackled a homemade cheesecake and strawberry pie.

Now and Then



Thought I would mix things up a little with this post. Flashback of when I was a little girl in a large sun hat...



...and fast forward to me last Summer in a nearly identical one. See more of that post here.

I remember 1995. I was obsessed with Devon Sawa in Casper and Brad Renfro in The Client. ('94) I was also invited to a friend's movie party to see Now and Then. Such a great movie. I think My Girl ('91) and Now and Then were on repeat for me...



Here's the vanilla cake I promised to produce pictures of. Today I attempt a pie of some sort. Shall reveal images of that soon enough too. The secret to a super soft and smooth vanilla cake?

Add in:
2 tsp of vanilla extract
4 tsp of reduced fat sour cream
1 package of vanilla instant pudding

A Taste of New York


Me in a taxi cab just after arriving at the airport.
Being in New York City for only two days was just a bite of the Apple.
I'm ready to go back for more and soon. I've never felt more "at home" than I did while I was there... stay Tuned!

Ps. Thanks for the Feature Glamour :)

Sleepy Chalet..... x

For now... a little appetizer, while I download the rest of my photos from the fabulous trip! So many things, including a few Surprises, to share and show.




Lastly, a fun little word game site that I found. Simply input your blog/website URL to find out your most used words. These will all then become compiled into a pretty little graphic for your convenient use. Courtesy of Wordle.
