It Gets Better

Don't you just hate it when you miss a sale?  Yesterday Bath & Body Works (B&BW) had $10 off of $30 and free shipping.  They also have 2/$22 three-wick candles.  I am mad at myself for not jumping on the deal.  I have a "leaves" three-wick candle that I have been holding onto since last fall.  It's my favorite scent and I am down to just one.  I ended up Googleing (if that's a word) Bath & Body Works coupons and found a $10 off coupon and they have $1 shipping today on-line.  Could you imagine my excitement?  I went to put my candles in my shopping cart and "boom", B&BW only allows you to use one promotional code per order (some companies will allow you to stack coupons).  Needless to say I didn't get my candles.  Knowing B&BW the sale will come back around.  So maybe next time.  What are some of your favorite B&BW scents?

Dilemma

By now you should know that many of my post titles are named after songs.  Yes, Dilemma is a song title.  I enjoy music and when I think of things for some reason it always comes back to music.  But I've digressed.  So I don't do social media.  I have been off of Facebook for a few years now and Twitter and Instagram for about a year now.  I've always been sort of a private person so blogging for me is kind of abnormal.  I'm always asked if I will ever go back to FB or any other forms of social media and I always say that I don't have any intentions of going back.  Now I am feeling kind of...what's the word? Hypocritical?  I don't want to get in to deep.  Do I set limits?  But then I don't want the blog to be an inaccurate picture of who I am.  Not sure if I am making sense.  Anyone out there?

Homemade Pasta

Okay, if knowing how to follow a recipe means you can "cook" then your girl has it down pat.  In all seriousness, I come from a family of amazing cooks and I have grown up watching them "throw down" in the kitchen.  My great-grandmother, grandmothers, mother, and great aunts were all phenomenal cooks.  I am in no way in comparison to them, but I do know my way around the kitchen (toot-toot).  I have been trying hard to make food from scratch.  So this Sunday afternoon I did just that.  I made homemade pasta.  From flour, salt, egg, and a tad bit of water to voila...pasta.  Pair the pasta with a vodka sauce, blackened chicken, and a garlic bread knot and dinner is served.   Maybe next time I will get fancy and make a flavored pasta. blah.

It's Been a Long Time, I Shouldn't Have Left You...

As the title states, It's been a long time.  I was in the process of making some homemade pasta and thought "what ever happened to that blog that I started?"  I hopped onto my laptop and then to Google, and it seemed to have not forgotten me.  Boy, a lot has changed since my first post about a year an a half ago.  Walk with me as I discuss love, wedding planning, working, family, and friends.  My timer just went off, time to tend to the pasta!  I promise to not wait a year and a half to write another post!
