I love you like pickles and chocolate milk

By sunshineandholly on February 4, 2011

No I’m not pregnant.

But I do like pickles with a glass of chocolate milk. Something about the combo of sweet and sour – yum! I think my mom ate pickles and chocolate ice cream when she was pregnant with me…maybe that explains it.

Anyways, last night I went to Taco Mac for dinner with the hubs and some friends. (French fries and homemade ranch…yum….) I was saving my pickle until the end of the meal and when I was finally ready to eat it, I went to pick it up……………and I dropped the WHOLE pickle on the floor!!! I didn’t even get one bite! 🙁

I. Was. Devastated.

“MY PICKLE!!!” 🙁 *sniff*

Well, life went on and we started talking about other stuff and having a good time.

But then the waiter came over. And my SWEET hubby asked him to bring me another pickle! I mean, he just asked him! Without me even saying anything or telling him I wanted another pickle – nothing!!!

It was so sweet! I almost cried!!

And the waiter was so nice that he brought us all another pickle.

I love pickles…but I love my hubby more!

Athens!

By sunshineandholly on February 3, 2011

Last Friday, we drove up to Athens to visit with some friends. I LOVE going back to Athens…even if I do feel a little old compared to all the college kids. 🙂

We ate at a yummy sushi place called Shokitini and then did some bar hopping. I made the mistake of ordering a drink other than my usual rum and diet. We basically told the bartender to make us something and since there was blueberry vodka on the shelf, we said make us something with that. Not the smartest idea… He made a “blueberry muffin” which wasn’t terrible…but not very tasty. And it was super strong!

But we had a great time!

Yummy!

Silly Aubree! 🙂

Those are fried oreos – yum!

Blueberry muffins – not recommended.

Kitchen Renovation Weekend #8

By sunshineandholly on January 28, 2011

Geez! When are we going to finish this kitchen?!?! It feels like it’s taking forever!

The weekend before last (Jan15th) we we finished up most of the flooring. Just one row left! Too bad it’s the hardest row since you have to cut every piece of laminate lengthwise…which is why we still haven’t finished. Boo.

Last weekend we hit up Ikea and bought the EXPEDIT bookcase in white. We decided to use this for shelving in our pantry instead of building shelving or buying cheap looking wire shelving. And I have to tell you, it looks AWESOME! I painted the wall behind the bookcase a butter cream color (so pretty!) and then loaded it up with food, paper towels, dishes, bake wear, and all the other crap I haven’t been able to unpack since we’ve moved because I have a ridiculous amount of that kind of stuff and not enough storage! 🙂

Anyway, here’s some pics!

Pantry

Stocked up!

Pretty yellow!

6 foot tall by 6 foot wide.

The redneck way we’re venting our dryer. 🙂 Gotta call the heating and air specialist soon!

New tablecloth!

Kitchen with the pretty new flooring.

Other view…man we’ve got to get the ceiling painted. It’s ugly!

Still needs lots of work!

Busy Busy Busy!

By sunshineandholly on January 26, 2011

My long lost blog! I’ve been so busy at work – I haven’t had time to breath, let alone blog! So sad…

But here’s what’s been happening in my world:

First, Atlanta got almost 6 inches of snow that lasted almost a week. I’m officially over snow. Brrrr!

While we were “snowed in” I baked a chocolate cake from scratch. And it was amazing. Yum!

I stayed home for 3 days, but had to go to work on Thursday. Josh had to shovel ice out of the driveway for me to get to work. It took me 2.5 hours to get home that night…and I live less than 10 miles from the office. Lame.

We had a date night and saw Beauty and the Beast at the Fox Theatre. We LOVE Disney!

We worked on the pantry a little bit. Still needs paint and a vent for the dryer. But the shelving looks AWESOME! (And yes, I was SUPER excited to organize all the food. Call me a loser, but it was so much FUN!)
