Wishful Wednesday

I wish I had MACY'S as my personal closet and could shop from it daily.

Macy's has a little bit of everything. When I need casual clothes, formal clothes, dresses, purses, sunglasses, make-up, perfume, shoes, or accessories, Macy's always has what I'm looking for. It is safe to say this is my favorite store!

Blogging Hiatus

I apologize for the 12 day blog hiatus! You won't believe all things I've done in just the last 12 days. I had my friend Julye's baby shower, a father's day lunch, a friend came in from out of town, I had to shoot a wedding, a Baptism, a friend's child's 2nd birthday, my friend Kim's baby shower, and then we ended this last weekend with the hubby's drive shaft falling off his truck completely (see below-faint red circle around the drive shaft). So that was a joy spending an extra $500 this week on repairs. :/

I was hoping to watch Twilight tonight at midnight. Our 15-plex theater is showing it in all 15 theaters so I figured I would have time to buy a ticket today. Well that won't be happening- sold out. But they are having a 3am showing so I guess I will be up pretty late tonight!

Purse or Cosmetic Bag

I scored the cutest purse at TJ Maxx yesterday for only $13! But, I will be using it as my traveling cosmetic bag. I love the zebra print & the green handles. I could carry it as a purse, but I honestly don't have anything that would match it. The inside material is perfect for spills and it's large enough to hold everything.

I don't know about you ladies, but I have always had a hard time finding a stylish cosmetic bag that will actually hold EVERYTHING. And by everything I mean shampoo, conditioner, soap, makeup, flat iron, blow dryer, etc.

Excuse the picture quality, I took these with my phone!

It's actually much larger than it appears!

We're going to Vegas in September, so that will be the perfect place for her debut!

Show Us Your Life- China Patterns

I don't have any "fine" china yet! When we got married I wasn't too worried about fine china, but I could kick myself now! But no worries, it's never too late to start a fine china collection.

What we currently use is a brand we got for Christmas one year called "Compton Fine China classic dot". It's all white, with platinum bands around it and little platinum dots. It was a 69 piece set that included 12 plates, 12 salad plates, 12 coffee cups, 12 saucers, 12 bowls, salt & pepper shaker, teapot, creamer, serving bowl, & a serving platter.

While it may not be the most expensive or elaborate set out there- I love it!

I do have a set of Tiffany & Co dessert plates that I scored on eBay! However, I just realized that I have no idea where they are which makes me very upset. I never use them and went to look for them for this post and realized they're missing. So guess what I'll be doing for the next few days? :)

Paula Deen's fried biscuits

OMG. HEAVEN.

I was watching Paula Deen yesterday and she was making fried chicken and fried biscuits! I have never had fried biscuits or even heard of them. I had the pleasure of dining at her restaurant in 2008 but there were no fried biscuits on the menu. There was fried chicken, fried porkchops, fried corn, fried mac & cheese, fried...you get the picture.

That woman knows she's gonna kill me one day with all that butter & frying! lol!

Well the biscuit recipe was SO very simple and the outcome was FABULOUS!! They tasted so so good & we will be cooking them this way from now on. I can't even think about eating regular biscuits now!

So here' s the recipe:

1 can of biscuits ( I used Pillsbury honey biscuits)

Vegetable oil

Honey Butter (I purchased honey & butter separately)

Fry the biscuits of 2-3 minutes on each side

For the honey butter- I just poured some honey & butter in a bowl and put in the microwave for 2 minutes.

No particular measurements since I brushed it on anyways and just poured out the extra.

(make sure to brush on the honeybutter inside & out!)

*Or if you have a baster, squeeze the honey butter into the center of the biscuit like Paula did!

They look burnt- but believe me they weren't!

Enjoy Y'all!

Wishful Wednesday

Today's topic is "I wish"...I had the opportunity to change careers and it would be:

An ACTRESS.

My whole life I wanted to move to Hollywood and be famous. When I was in elementary and 90210 came out, I used to beg my dad to move us to Beverly Hills! He would say, "As soon as your rich uncle dies on the poor farm." That didn't make sense to me then, but I get it now! lol!

I still think ONE DAY I will make it out there! I need to hurry though bc I ain't getting any younger, and these new actresses are are young & gorgeous!
