Haven't been so good at getting back to blogging. Saw this though and wanted to share mine. GETTING TO KNOW THE FOODIE QUIZMetal or non-stick? Non-stick lately, it's easier on my eggs.Cast iron or stainless? Have both, love my great-gram's cast iron the mostest.Cutting board: silicone or wood? Wood, I know I should use silicone but I sanitize the wood thoroughly.Knife: Stainless or carbon steel?

After a loooooong hiatus, I have decided to bring my blog back...It's been SIX months.So, the short version of what we've been up to:Got married on October 25th, 2008. It was the most magical, wonderful day of our lives. It went perfectly, except for one music misqueue. I'll put some pictures up soon. Went to Isla Mujeres, Mexico for a weeklong honeymoon. Loved the island, the people, our hotel,

Look - at that little counter thing over there... Yes, the one that says TWENTY FOUR DAYS until Todd and Tara get married.Did you get chest flitters then too? It kind of feels like a heart attack but I'm sure it's just anxiety.Good golly, it's been so crazy. Reply cards are coming in by the half dozen a day. I've got vendor meetings, engagement sessions, crafts to finish, favors to stuff, 7

Last night I kicked some kitchen ass! We had the piles (see photos below) of gifts from the shower and Monday night I got the lazies so nothing got cleaned up. Hubs took me for a delicious dinner of pizza, salad, and wine so I had a hard time keeping my eyes open once we got home. Tuesday was another day though and I had big plans! I hurried to the grocery store after work, grabbed the food I

Three of my wonderful friends threw my bridal shower this weekend. I have NEVER been so overwhelmed with love. It was at a winery here in Tulsa and the owners were awesome. I had one snag before I got there - a little dress fiasco that made me 30 minutes late. Once I got there, had a glass of their delish muscat canneli and saw all of my friends and family, things were fine. I heard so many

I will be married. I wish I could describe what happens in my head when I say that, it's like a comic book fight with words, but better. Amazing actually. We had a really great weekend. Friday night was spent mostly at home and ended at our BFF's house over several beers and a domestic dispute between the neighbors. That is always fun as long as no one gets hurt. Saturday was an especially fun

Today I become an aunt. Hopefully anyhow. My little brother and his wife are being induced at 1:00 and I am over the moon ecstatic, ready to meet my nephew. I have another nephew, he's my stepsister's kid, but I don't get to see him much and he's not blood-related. This is different. This is my little broski becoming a father. I can't stop smiling.Also, one of my oldest friends is supposed

It's August. Can you believe it? Just one year ago we were newly engaged and getting ready for Montana and Knoxville. We forgot to celebrate our 1-year of engagement. Oopsie! Well, the lists are made and I think I'm ready for this weekend. I've got the diaper cakes made, Gram & Gramps present is here, I've got menus planned and helpers assigned. Today I have to get decorations, a new dress,

Can you guess what I've been up to?Moving.After several long years of waiting, I'm moving in with my darling fiancé and it's been fun. We haven't stayed at the new place yet but we are going to on Saturday. We've rallied all of the man friends and 6 of them are going to get it done early Saturday morning. I lured them all with the promise of donuts and beer. My friends are easy. I unpacked

Seriously? Not one luxury apartment in Tulsa?That's right folks. We. Cannot. Find. A. Stupid. Apartment.We have called everyday since Sunday, asking if something has come available in 7 different complexes with no luck unless we want to pay over $900 and live on the third floor. I don't freakin think so. And then of course, I've been scouring the 'net looking for a nice condo or rent house

I didn't get to write on Friday because I had 800 things going on. I left work early to head to the Lou to pack my honey up and head home. We got back with all of his belongings in a small trailer, a truck, and his car. It didn't take long at all and it still doesn't feel real. It's like we should meet for dinner tonight and he'll have to leave like normal. But he gets to stay. We've already

My official quit (smoking) date was June 7, 2008. I have had approximately 3 ciggies and they all tasted like crap, or at least what I'd imagine crap to taste like. Maybe a little sweeter. Still gross though. My skin looks great, it's almost glowing and I can't help but think that it's because I am no longer filling my lungs and bloodstream with toxic, addictive, chemicals. I have been

I've got on a pair of dress pants that I haven't worn in two years. I didn't have to lie down to put them on. I don't have a muffin top hangin out. I didn't have to secure them with a rubberband like a pregnant lady. They slid right on with no wiggles, grunts, or sighs. I'm down to my bangin 2-summers-ago size. Toats exciting.

So, I'm just a little pumped...We found out last night that T gets to keep his job and we're both so relieved and excited that we could fly over the moon. We don't have to buy a computer either. All he has to do is pack and come home. It's completely unbelievable but totally exciting, I feel like we got engaged all over again or something. It was really hard not to smoke last night because I

It's that time of year where every weekend fills up... And almost every week night too. And then I forget about TTEAL. So, what have I been up to you ask? I've been to a double-header baseball game, the lake to see my Mama, watched every show saved on the DVR, played soccer (injured at that), made the best waffles ever, and got tons of laundry done - all in 3 days.

Actually, not lazy - I've been really busy at work and since I don't have a home pc just yet I haven't been able to update.Spent last weekend in the Lou with my honey, 4 of his fraternity brothers, and their wives. We went to the Cards game Friday night and had a good time. We got tipsy during the 2 hour rain delay so T and I went for a walk around the Arch and to the car for warm clothes.

I did just about everything I mentioned that was on my plate for last weekend, less the two giant T's I had to cover in flowers. Did you know that cutting with scissors for over two hours will give you hellacious cramps and leave bruises on that thumb muscle thing? I found that out when making my precious little felt bows for my centerpieces last weekend. I was a regular little Suzy Homemaker.

It's finally Friday and I'm bring the fun back! I haven't done this in a long tome so I made one up. No plans for me this weekend besides craft, craft, craft. I've got about 100 bows to make, 4 floral balls to cover, and 2 giant T's to cover. The Roomies are gone and it'll probably rain so it'll be a perfect weekend to get some wedding shtuff done.

Anyway, happy 100th post to me!It's St. Patrick's Day - normally one of my favorite days of the year but I'm not too excited about it today. Perhaps because it's Monday and I'm finally recovered from Saturday night and my honey won't be here to celebrate it with me. It will get better I'm sure. BFF and I are going

I see her, sitting in a wheelchair all slumped over. Do you see the lost look in her eyes? It's not my Grandma anymore. I hate to know that she's wearing a diaper that probably hasn't been changed in a few hours. I hate that she does not know me. I hate that she cannot talk or say my name when I tell her who I am. I hate that her face is swollen and no one knows why. I hate that her clothes

This whole job situation with Toddles has been frustrating - for him. He still has not heard from this guy but the guy keeps telling our friend that he wants to interview T, so it's like WTF? And something else... I made a deal with him that if he got a huge raise, like over 10k, then I would move there. And now he's gotten a couple of calls offering that much. What is that? Destiny stepping

No real job news just yet. The hiring manager called T last night at 8:00 p.m. On a Sunday. For an interview. Weird huh? He told the guy that we were having dinner with family and that he would have to call him on Monday morning for a proper interview. Guy was cool with it so whatever. I think he's got it in the bag. I asked Toddles last night if I could be a stay at home mom, he said no

I am going to ask my bloggies to say their prayers to the job fairy/god/guru - my dear Beloved has applied for a job here and he's got a phone interview coming up. I'm trying really hard not to get too excited because this is the first application but it is sounding good for him.Wowsas...Good thing, the wedding is 7 months and 27 days away and I'm kinda going to need to live in the same state as

I forgot about my poor little blog. What can I say, I've been a busy girl...Last weekend was an awesome weekend! I got to buy my super beautiful wedding dress, went to a hockey game, and went to an 80's party at a skating rink. It was one of the best weekends I've had in awhile! It was crazy busy and I didn't even get one nap in but it was totally worth it. I got to see both of my bubbies,

I am finally back to work and near a computer after suffering from 3 days of fever, coughing, and an awful runny nose. Seems that I caught what T's roomies all had and brought it back to Oklahoma with me after our ski trip.We had a wonderful time over the weekend. We got to St. Louis early in the evening, all thankful that the roads weren't bad from all the snow. After getting everyone to

Two words...baconquicheA rep brought us breakfast today from Marie Callender's and it was fantabulous. Bacon, spinach, and lots of gooey cheese is certainly the way I'd like to start everyday. That and big beautiful snowflakes are starting to fall so I'm really happy. The gang and I are going skiing this weekend outside of St. Louis. We're all pretty excited - especially since there's going to

We're having a poker party this weekend and I've been looking up new drink recipes, particularly vodka infusions because I can't handle beer that much anymore. I found two delish recipes that I'm going to mix up tonight! The first one is pineapple/coconut/lime and the other is orange/cranberry. Both of them sound delightful on the rocks. I'll have to keep you updated on how they turn out. I'm

Can anyone tell me why people think it's okay to use other people's towels?I am completely perplexed about this.I moved in with the future in-laws around Thanksgiving. We have had several different groups of people come and stay for a few days and every time someone has used my towel. If it was my future husband using it, it would be different. But people I have no blood relation to? That's

I forgot to do my Friday fun... How about some Monday fun?Do you eat the ends/heels of a loaf of bread? Or do you toss them? I eat the ends of the loaf. I love the ends toasted on one half of a sandwich or slathered with butter to dunk in my coffee. Guess I was just too busy working. Ha. Actually I was, I stayed really busy all of last week.-----------------We had an awesome weekend. I'm so

Everyone has already made their lists of resolutions and posted them. Well I'm still a procrastinator so I haven't done mine yet. I wanted my 2008 list to be worthwhile and attainable. I'm getting married in 290 days so you know that has a lot to do with my resolutions. Here goes:Be nice. I'm going to try to quit being defensive and hateful all the time. I know, you think I'm sweet but it's

Anyone else suffering from a head cold? I am and I want it to go away. My nose is like a faucet, drip - drip - drip. You know what goes with that - the blistery red nose. I am looking forward to 5:00 so I can go home and take some Nyquil and put my pj's on. Not too many big plans this weekend. I get to go to a wedding by myself. Yay. You know, I can do most things alone: movies, eating out

It's been a crazy week and a half! I'm finally back at work. Can you feel the enthusiasm? I was not thrilled to wake up this morning because my body had gotten used to getting up whenever I wanted. That was a mean and cruel joke! It has been a wonderful and busy time for me so I'm ready to get back to my routine.The Steelers game in St. Louis was badass. I had a great time even though we

I've really got to stop saying that. It comes out of my mouth a lot. But it works in so many situations. Right? Except for there... So, my vacation begins today at 3:00. I'm not excited yet because it's going to be a crazy day at work. After lunch it'll hit me. I haven't had this much time off since... eh... August. haha Okay, so not that long but whatev.

I'm not doing it this week because I can't find a fun/good/interesting meme. I went through a whole list of them and nothing struck me. So, I'm going to do my own list this week.Good things:I have power.I have a roof over my head. I have heat. I have food in my belly. Snow is coming. I had yummy chicken salad and garlicky Triscuits for breakfast. My bonus family rocks!My fiancee is happy and

As you may have heard, Oklahoma got pelted with ice and freezing rain all weekend. It has been a wreck everywhere and the devastation is really sad. We were very fortunate to have kept power the entire time. Every person I talked to had lost theirs and several are still without power. It's just so sad and people are having to be very resourceful. The good thing is that the ice is gone, for

This week it is from Friday Fiver. 1. Are you married? Not yet, 10 months, 17 days to go. (Can you believe it?)2. When do your claws come out? When someone messes with my Love or BFF. Or when a douchebag at the bar decides he wants to play grab ass and didn't get the hint the first time I yelled at him. Watch out folks, watch out. 3. Have you ever been in a car accident? Yes, several.

It was a bittersweet weekend.I turned in the keys to my "super cute little house" on Saturday. It's been a really odd experience. Three years ago I was completely heartbroken and looking for a new home. My then-boyfriend was cheating on me, after I had raised his precious children and made a home with him for two years. I was sad and sick and really pathetic. Then I found this awesome little

I haven't had food from a decent new place in awhile, so I thought I'd let my readers know about a new joint that I've been waiting to open for 3 months now. It's called Suki, and it's at the old Tippins at 71st and Memorial. I had no expectations about Suki because I had no idea what kind of food it would be. The sign outside only said "Unique Dining" so it left a little to the imagination. S

Woohoo! The big weekend is over and we got so much finished. Here's the play by play:Wednesday - I finished packing. I got this OCD thing going for this move and was super organized throughout the entire move. Everything was boxed, labeled, and ready to go when T arrived that night.Thursday - Thanksgiving. We spent the day in OKC with my fam, had dinner, and were home by 8:00. It was our

I'm feeling better, finally - except I think my body hates me because I've been working it to death getting ready for this silly garage sale. Every one of my muscles are screaming "we need a massage!" and they might get one if we make enough money tomorrow. So yes, I'll be on break for the next week. It's just too much for me right now.

(explanation at the end...)I continued my madness through the weekend. Poor, poor Toddles dealt with me so nicely.Friday was my friend S's birthday. He was being a total prick the whole night because he thinks he can sometimes and it being his bday made it even worse. T and I went home early because we had a busy day planned for Saturday and we were not in the mood for S's crap.I had to get up

I've got a week to go through my entire house for my gigantic garage sale. I'm moving in 16 days. Plus I have to find a storage, go to two photographer appointments, do Thanksgiving, pack, and try to stay sane. Yes, I know, I'm grumpy

First off, I am dedicating everything I do today to my dear Stephie, who passed away unexpectedly 4 years ago today. Just in case she can hear me...Hey munchkin, I can't believe you've been gone for four years, I was just thinking of you the other day. I swear, sometimes I can see you smile in other people - it kind of freaks me out but it's cool too. Your little guy isn't so little anymore.

From my favorite, Friday's Feast!AppetizerWhen was the last time you were surprised? When Mr. T proposed to me. Everyone say it together - awwww...

It's dreary outside and I'm ready for my afternoon nap. Except it's not the weekend and nap time is over. I didn't do much this weekend besides get sick in two different ways. Major sucky way to spend a weekend. My honey didn't visit this weekend so that sucked too. I spent Friday evening with my sis and beautiful nephew, who thinks I am sooo funny, but what does a 7 month-old know? After

You know it's not a good start to the day when you can't sleep until the alarm goes off and you get to work and there's no coffee... It's gotten better already thanks to the receptionist's hubby. He loves us so much that he brought the two of us coffee. Yeah Gumdrops! I had the greatest weekend!!! And I'm so excited to share it. Friday afternoon was more wedding dress shopping. I think I

So I didn't make it very long after my last post without a smoke. I think I went 4 days but as soon as I cracked my first beer on Friday night, it was all downhill from there. They tasted like poo but I had a few more anyway. I think we're both doing pretty well by cutting back, I'm down to about 3 a day. Toddles s-mom is on Chantix, she's smoked for 32 years and is doing great. Helps that

I'm trying to keep myself really busy right now because I am trying to quit smoking (sshh! no one knows) and I'm having a bad craving right now. I was just peeking at the calendar and realized that September has already flown by. 402 days until our wedding. Holy shit. Two months have already gone by. That means I've got roughly 13 months to get this all figured out. Any good advice out there

What is it about the end of summer that keeps me so busy? It's been hectic and I'm ready for a break!Tuesday was Bunco night, we had a ton of fun. I finally got to show all the ladies my ring. I had to skip last month because of our vacations. I made a really yummy dip (recipe to follow) and had a good time.Wednesday my grandparents were in town and staying the night with me.

It's been raining for a couple of days again. It's a nice break from the intense heat we've had lately. We had a decent weekend. The fiance and I were kind of "off", everyone goes through that stuff. I talked to my dad and he and his ladyfriend were "off" too. Maybe the moon was in a bad lunar phase or something. I've realized how quickly wedding planning can take over a girl's head. It's

From Friday's Feast...AppetizerWho is the easiest person for you to talk to? Hmm... Probably my dad. A lot of people around me are not good listeners. Love 'em anyway! SoupIf you could live in any ancient city during the height of the quality of its society and culture, which one would you choose? Tulsa! I would love to have lived here in the oil days and be married to a loaded oil barron.

I haven't been very creative lately, so I've been neglecting my poor blog. I have been reading a lot, I mean - when I start, I cannot stop. It's nice to go home, crack open some wine, settle on the couch with Mr. Pedro and read the night away. I've been using big words lately because my mind is expanding from all the literature I've processed. heheIn the past six weeks I've read these books (

Hey all! We got back from Montana on Saturday. It was the most amazing trip I think either of us have ever been on. We did so many different things that were extraordinary - I'll never forget this experience! Who would have ever thought that I'd love fly fishing and that both of us would get to drive a H1 Hummer? We were so fortunate to have won this trip. I know I shouldn't, but I love

On my lunch break and wanted to jot a little note. Had a blast in Iowa at the races, got the shirt to prove it! I've never been so sweaty and dirty, it was fun and nasty all in one. I think we set a wedding date - October 25, 2008!!! This time tomorrow I will be en route to beautiful Montana... I'll update with pics when I get back.

I haven't been on much because I've been busting my hump getting all my work finished before my lil vacation.I'm off to St. Louis today, Iowa tomorrow, and Montana on Wednesday - I should be able to pop in and update on Monday.For now, I'll do a food survey I found on myspace, enjoy!

After last week being a total blah, it ended more spectacular than I could have ever imagined. Toddles proposed on Friday. It was perfect, just us at home with music and candles and flowers, the whole works! So dreamy and unexpected!!! My baby wanted to catch me off guard and he did, I had no idea this was coming. I haven't blogged all week because I cannot stop looking at wedding stuff.

I love sandwiches and could eat them (almost) everyday.Today's lunch:That is 1/2 an avocado mixed with a touch of ranch, smeared on a toasted parmesan-oregano baguette, topped with pepper-jack cheese and smoked turkey. Yum! Oh, and carrots on the side even though I prefer chippies to put on my sammich. I've been eating sammiches all my life and they continue to make my belly happy.

Okay, I'm all about being single and independent, blah blah blah... I realized last night that it can be completely frustrating to have to depend on a man to do certain things.My fridge has been on the fritz for a couple of months now. It has been very temperamental and only works when it wants to but I haven't been able to afford a new one. (Have you looked at fridge prices?!?!?!?!) So, when

I was bored yesterday so I decided to go to the grocery store. I got inspired while I was there and decided to get stuff to make sushi, thought it would be therapeutic since I was kind of in the dumps. *Note to self, making sushi is NOT therapeutic - it actual makes you want to pull your hair out everytime the nori splits.Left to right: tuna, mango, cream cheese, & avocado; spicy crab and green

No, but I would like to have one for my office.3. Do you eat fish? I love to eat fish, except for salmon - it's yucky! 4. Have you ever seen Finding Nemo?

Well... we finally got a break from the rain, I think we actually got three days without any of the wet stuff. The 4th was a nice mid-week break, although it messed up the rest of the week. It felt like a mixed up Saturday or something.My honey was here on Thursday night. We stayed up late watching episodes of Rescue Me on DVD before I had to make myself go to sleep.

What a boring weekend. Friday night was the only fun night I had. I joined some friends for some cheap gambling at the horse races. Didn't win any money but I had a great time. Got a little tipsy afterwards, not bad though. I stayed in the rest of the weekend. I slept all day Saturday, literally. I watched the documentary by Spike Lee, When the Levees Broke. Wow. That was eye-opening and

I think we're getting a little sister for Pedro this week. I can't wait - will update with pics as soon as I know!!!UPDATE: I am so disappointed. My Grammy "promised" the dog to someone else but didn't tell me. I was pissed because I'm thinking, "why didn't you just say something" but it obviously wasn't meant to be and Todd said we can pick our own doggie out.
