OH MY... COOKIE DOUGH... GASP!

If you love cookie dough as much as I love cookie dough you just let out a little gasp also... Yes ma'am.. that would be CHOCOLATE COVERED COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES!!!

While stuck at home since Thursday with the flu (Thanks to Jason) I was super bored between sleeping and being wide awake coughing. I had the STOOOOPID flu shot too! PSSHT! All I did while awake was play on http://www.stumbleupon.com/!!! I slept most of the time... to the point where I had to wake myself up to try and eat. My body ached so bad and I didn't want to move. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to play on STUMBLE UPON! It's so much fun to pick the things you're interested in then click the little STUMBLE button to go to the next page. I recently realized I could pick more categories such as *BLOGS* on top of different types of craft projects! I'm hooked even more now! So many wonderful creative people out there in the world that do the same things I do and think the same way I think... weird? No, I think it's pretty cool! Mostly because I know I'm not the only person that thinks of creative ideas 24/7!

While playing on STUMBLE I stumbled upon a site that said... CHOCOLATE COVERED COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES!!! I'm in love! I'm going to make these for a special day at work or just for any day! I'll make them just to see people smile! :) They would make me smile real big if someone brought them into my life! A HUGE SMILE! Such a cute idea too! I'm a white chocolate fan but I like milk chocolate alright... not as much as white. I could even dye with food coloring the white chocolate to make it cute and colorful! Cute ideas I love it!!! And something super yummy and cute to make! ENJOY!

Time to fire up the ole grill!

One of my favorite things about Spring and Summer time is grilling out! I LOVE IT! Food taste better when it comes from an outside grill. Last time we took a trip to Memphis Jason's brother in law grilled out smoked sausages. Usually not a huge fan of sausage I wasn't too excited for it but thought I would at least eat a few pieces. Well, it was super yummy! Harry put a blackened seasoning and other yummy flavors to marinate the sausage right before placing them on the grill. They also kept it simple and served it with cubes of cheese. (Any cheese will do) Then we had plane saltine crackers... which we had plenty of since we just had the flu. Another exciting thing I threw on the grill was fruit skewers!! Strawberries and pineapple! YuM O! The sausage cooked really fast and left a yummy caramel all over the grill. Once I placed the fruit skewers on the grill they made the awesome sizzle! Once it was time to eat I of course wanted the more burnt pieces of sausage. I ended up trying a piece of grilled pineapple with a piece of sausage together... O.M.G. I suggest you go out to the store, buy a pineapple and a smoked sausage link and throw them on the grill ASAP!

WAIT!!! Instead of throwing away the pineapple topper make a pineapple plant. My sweet Granny loves to grow pineapple plants indoors. They look cool and modern also. I'll post the link that I followed to cut the stem for the planting. I'm pretty pumped about growing a pineapple plant also because that means I get to buy a cool pot and either paint it or Mod Podge it!! CRAFTY TIME!

I can breath!!!

Tired of being cooped up for the past 3 days I decided to sit on the back patio while the wind was blowing and maybe I could get some fresh air! It was so peaceful just sitting on the patio swing with my gatorade with the wind making all of the noises. I would also hear the cars driving by, dogs barking every once and a while then a random cow mooing! LOL! The wind over powered most of the noise and it was nice and spring time cool wind. It felt great to just relax and be able to breath!

FLU SHOT!!!!! Didn't work for Jason...

Oh Happy Day at The Brown House... JASON HAS THE FLU!!! Poor fella can't catch a break! I'm going to put him in a bubble! Awww... my little bubble boy lover.

Yep, he had the flu shot back when UT came to work for FLU SHOT DAY! First time for him to get the flu shot too! My fingers are crossed toes too that I won't catch it! His doctor gave him Tamiflu and a bunch of other meds to make him get better soon. They also said not to go back to work until Sunday or Monday. All of his extra hours and overtime at work will now be normal hours. I feel so bad because he was working extra hours to get the new iPhone4. Mr. Bubble Boy needs a new phone so bad too! His P.O.S phone is about to kick the bucket . So, once again Nurse MeG is at The Brown House taking care of the sick fella!



After reading up on Tamiflu they suggested that if you live in the house or around someone with the flu to call your doctor and ask for a prescription. RING RING RING... Dr. Kirby I need some TAMIFLU ASAP! So hopefully after my oh so fun dentist appt tomorrow I'll run by and pick up my prescription at Walgreens. I can't miss work so I CANNOT get the stoooopid flu! Bomb Pops and chicken noodle soup for Jason! :)

YEAH RIGHT!!!

Not at The Brown House!!!!

PJ's at work?? YES PLEASE!



Today was the last day of our little spirit week/ Best Customer promo events! The best way to end a few weeks of fun times... wearing our PJ's to work!! YAH! Why can't everyday be PJ day at work? It was so comfy and relaxing too! I guess we all stayed in sleepy head mode all day or either we had a case of the Mondays... blah! But these past few weeks have been so much fun at work! Everyone that joined in on the fun had a good ole time also. I'll keep this short and sweet so I can post pictures of everyone's favorite jammies!
