Football and a delicious mess of a recipe

Last night I had the opportunity to go to THE BEST GAME EVER...New England Patriots vs the New York Jets. Monday night football..rival teams..Hell Yes. It was such an amazing game and my Pats played hard and won hard. Smoke-show! And my seats were absolutely amazing!

 22 rows from the field. I could practically see Tom Brady's Uggs on the bench! My amazing aunt scored us these tix. Let me just say though...New England weather..brrr freakin brrrr. It was 19 degrees last night! and flurrying! We had to park about a mile from Gilette Stadium due to the mass crowds of people, and got to the game at about 7:30 for an 8:30 game. So my boyfriend and I are walking around the stadium with my aunt and her friend. I have on under armor, 2 fleece zip-ups AND a northface..with my uggs, with a hat, a scarf, and gloves. I was STILL freezing my buns off! So we get to a booth that's selling these amazing, fuzzy 50$ Pats blankets and my boyfriend, the sweetie that he is, bought me one so I could be bundled for the game! Love him. So with my fleecey fleece and handwarmers, I was set to watch the pats absolutely destroy the Jets and I loved every minute of it. 45-3 woop woop!

With a Monday Night Football game comes late hours..and we got home laaaate! I am not a morning girl..so needless to say, I was pretty damn tired! But it was so worth it and I'd do it again tonight! Oh..and Donald Trump was there as well as Tedy Bruschi! Donald Trump's hair KILLED me!! so funny..it was so windy, his weird hair was flapping in the wind haha

Have any of you guys been to a freezing cold game!? 

Okay so I wanted to share a delicious mess with you all. One of my roommates in college told me how to make this and I hate her for it because its SOO good hat I want to make it every single day. I don't really have a name for it so I'll call it a Delicious Mess because that's what my roommate referred to it as! :)

Delicious Mess

Saltine Crackers

1 cup of sugar

1 stick of butter

sweet or semi sweet chocolate chips (you decide!)

m&ms (or another small bite size candy you like..or even nuts..or BOTH!)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, and then line up 

your saltine crackers in a tight row like this.

Then you're going to put the stick of butter and cup of sugar 

into a pot and boil it until they are both mixed together evenly. Just stir a little as it's boiling!

After it's boiled, spread the mixture evenly over the saltine 

crackers so they're covered. Put this into the oven and bake for about 8 minutes or until it starts to look golden brown. It will also start to look bubbly!

After you take it out of the oven, IMMEDIATLY start spreading chocolate chips over the top..you'll see them start to melt. This is good! Let them sit for a few minutes and they'll start getting even softer. Then once soft, spread it all over the saltines so that they are covered with the butter/sugar mix and the chocolate. 

Finally, sprinkle the m&ms on top or whatever else you want to add to it!

Then comes the hard part. WAITING. These need to be put into the freezer for about 2 hours until you feel them and they are cold/hardened to look like a brittle. It'll look like this.

Then you want to just break it into pieces to serve and VOILA! So easy and soo delicious

 

How yummy does that look/sound! ENJOY!

My cubicle needs to be pimped

Hello all!

Okay first, I really need some feedback! All weekend I was checking my blog among other blogs, and was torn whether people update during the weekends or not. I realize blogging is for yourself..to better your writing, to spill your emotions, to vent, to rant, to brag…whatever..but I mean, we all secretly want people to read our stuff right!? Let me know your thoughts!

In other words, I’ll keep this post short and sweet since I’m pretty busy today! My company just switched office buildings completely, so we have new EVERYTHING. And oh my god..we are 5 minutes from a mall, we have a gorgeous cafe, fitness center, and because it’s new, it’s fun to wander around and get lost! I love it! But girls, I’m having an issue. My CUBE! Here she is..in her quaint, tidiness, brand spankin new...

 

Right now, the only cute factor in my cube are my adorable peace sign book ends from Borders, a snazzy paper clip holder, and a tropical setting calendar. Here is my wacky paper clip head holder! Isn't she cute with her paper clip earrings haha

 

I need ideas..how can I cuten up my cube? I’ll take any ideas!  I want it to look cute, but professional. So I wont be hanging any crystal chandeliers, or getting a bunny rabbit or anything crazy like that.So let me know what you girls and guys think!

So Happy Monday..and just think…Christmas is soon! It’s flurrying here!

xoxo!

2010 Top Things EVER! Plus a fruity cocktail for your liking!

Hiya!

If anyone else is a Yahoo! freak like me, you probably saw this online yesterday/today. 2010 in review...top searches, biggest celeb cheating scandal, and more! Ugh I love Yahoo! All my friends/boyfriend/family all use Google but I cant part myself with Yahoo! Sure, the constant "5 worst foods EVER" and "Worst dating mistakes EVER" or "what your friends really think about you" articles that Yahoo! puts up just draws me in and makes me want to curl into a ball and sob my eyes out. But..I just can't help myself. Anywho, they come out with this top 2010 year in review...everything. It was great! The top searched celebrity of 2010...

 I know I know...everyone thinks Miley sucks..but I kinda like her! I don't know why. I find myself watching Hannah Montana re-runs from time to time as my boyfriend moans and groans. Some top 2010 obsessions...

Yes, I have silly bands! haha I have dog breed silly bands and I wear a Corgi one..and I passed around some others. Sure, I may sound 5 years old, but what made these things such a rave?? When I was growing up in middle school, we had these little blue plastic bracelets that you make out of the inside of a soda bottle cap..does anyone remember those? And apparantly if someone ripped them off of you, you had to have sex with them or something..Yeah, this might just be my town and I'm hoping it's not because now I sound like a freak!

And Jersey takeover..Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious, jersey couture, jersey housewives..list goes on and on. I'm ashamed to admit, I watch all these shows. My boyfriend, who like I said is from Jersey, hates it! Whenever we go down to his house, this is our conversation..

Me- Can we please googlemap jersey housewive's houses and go look for them?

Him- Are you serious?

Me- Come on..I will recognize their house when I see it!

Him- Are you serious? Their houses are probably covered by trees

Me- (pouting) ugh fine..let's go look for all the restaurants/shops that they go to

Him- (walks away)

Haha! That's no joke. I know it's a problem..but I just LOVE reality TV! And sure, I have a creepy stalker side to me.

Yeah so, CLICK HERE to see the rest of 2010 in review! It's very cool!

MMM...and a delicious cocktail I've been meaning to try forever.

The Jolly Rancher

1 oz. Three Olives Green Apple Vodka
1 oz. peach schnapps
4 oz. cranberry juice

Mix together and even add in some Jolly Rancher candy to make it pretty and voila!

Well on that note, I'll leave you with something much cuter than top obsessions, jersey shore, and a cocktail..

 Look at that smile! haha! That's my boyfriends dog..I'm heading down to New Jersey this weekend with him to see his family, get his car fixed, etc. So I thought this photo was fitting. He's a German Shephard and doesn't look as scary because his ears are back because he's happy! Such a good dog!

xoxo love you all muah muah muah!
