Day 22/30
Day 22/30 - a website
I've been craving new fall clothes lately, so for today, I'm going to give you one of my favorite, albeit, more expensive (for me) clothing stores.
I love Buckle's clothing, and I would probably shop exclusively there if it weren't for their higher than my budget prices. they have SO many clothing items, and their accessories are to die for as well as their shoe inventory.
it wouldn't be a post about clothing without a wish list, so here you have my current wish list of fall items from Buckle.
Happy Thursday!
wee bit... Thursday?
a day late, but still participating in Leigh Ashley's weekly Wee Bit posts! I was actually looking forward to this post all day, so I'm glad she remembered to do it! :)
Tony Curtis
1950s Heartthrob Tony Curtis Dies at 851950s Heartthrob Tony Curtis has died.
He was 85.
He passed away at his Las Vegas area house of a cardiac arrest.
He appeared in such movies as Sweet Smell of Success and Some Like It Hot. He earned an Oscar nod for 1958's The Defiant Ones.
His 1st wife was Psycho star Janet Leigh; actress Jamie Leigh Curtis is their daughter.
After retiring from film and battling drug and alcohol abuse, he turned to painting (some of his canvasses sold for as much as $20,000) later in his life.
"I am not ready to settle down like an elderly Jewish gentleman, sitting on a bench and leaning on a cane," he said at 60. "I have got a helluva lot of living to do."

I'm looking forward to...
(shamelessly stealing this idea from Jessi over at Caterpillar Family Blog)
- finally getting my tattoo colored and filled this weekend. it's been a long journey to get this much work done, and I'm ready for it to be complete. I love this tattoo, and it means SO much to me. it's the place I grew up, it's my home, it will always be my home. I'm proud to represent Maryland.
- going out of town next weekend (October 8-10) to visit some extended family on my mom's side. twice a year, everyone gets together and makes apple butter - and I mean the whole nine yards... picking, peeling, cooking, churning, and canning.
I haven't been there for this event since I was a kid. I'm so, so, so excited to see my second cousin and her babies. we spent every single summer together growing up... running a muck and causing riots and just getting into all kinds of trouble in general.
she was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and I haven't seen her since that day, which was over a year ago! she has since given birth to her second child (little girl, Ella) and I cannot wait to meet her. her son, Peyton is so big now, and I can only imagine how he smart he is with a grade-A mama like her! I really just can't wait to spend some quality time with those that I don't get to see often.
- going to see the Washington Capitals take on the Boston Bruins on October 19th with my lova lova. football season is number one in this house, but hockey season comes in at a close second. I can't wait to watch the Caps play their hearts out this season! I'm hoping they continue the dominance they showed last season!
- seeing Louis CK perform live stand up comedy on October 22nd. we've seen him twice before, and he is HILARIOUS. all caps necessary. he has a show on FX (I think?) called Louie, and it's pretty witty and amusing, but nothing compares to the raw talent that is his stand up. he is, hands down, one of my favorite comedians.
VIDEO = NSFW
- my best friend, Kaley, is turning 26 years old in a few weeks! her birthday celebration, which is also being combined with Kath's birthday, takes place on October 23rd. they're starting with dinner at the Melting Pot (NOM!), followed by a little low key shindig at Kaley's house. I'm really excited to have a night with some of my favorite ladies, where nothing but good times is had. AND I'm thrilled to give Kaley her birthday present! :D
- H-A-double L-O-W-double E-N! Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love getting dressed up and hanging out with friends. obviously, we don't have kids yet, so we don't do the whole trick or treating thing, but we make sure to hit a few parties every year and celebrate appropriately! Sean and I have already purchased our costumes for this year, and while we're not matching like we usually do, they're still pretty great. I'll reveal what they are in a future post!
here are our costumes from last year: we were a shotgun wedding. :)
- seeing Daniel Tosh's stand up on November 6th. I've seen bits and pieces of his show, Tosh.0, which is pretty funny, so I'm sure his stand up will be good as well. seeing comedians live is one of my favorite things to do, so I'm sure I won't be disappointed. :)
what are YOU looking forward to?

Day 21/30
Day 21/30 - a recipe
crap. I just posted a recipe the other day and I didn't know this prompt was coming up right around the corner. son of a gun.
if you know me, you know my ass does NOT cook. Sean does all the cooking in our house, and he is awesome at it. he's always trying out new recipes and changing things up, and I love him for it. I mean, I wouldn't STARVE without him, but I would surely live off of Ramen Noodles and grilled cheese.
this is a recipe we introduced in our house a few months back, and it's still one of our favorites. it's super easy (according to Sean, haha) and absolutely delicious. the good thing about it is that it can be paired with just about anything.
[Facts]:
prep time: 15 minutes
cook time: 30 minutes
ready to eat: 45 minutes
[Ingredients]:
- (2) tablespoons olive oil
- (1) clove garlic, minced
- (1) cup dry bread crumbs
- (2/3) cup grated Parmesan cheese
- (1) teaspoon dried basil leaves
- (1/4) teaspoon ground black pepper
- (6) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
[Directions]:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, blend the olive oil and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs (we use Italian bread crumbs), Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper. Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish, and top with any remaining bread crumb mixture.
- Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
I don't have pictures of this recipe, but it's pretty simple. the crust of the bread crumbs ends up being nice and crispy and the amount of garlic is perfect. we usually eat this with some kind of carb like rice or roasted potatoes and a fresh veggie like green beans.
Trends
Debt Reduction, Nintendo 3DS: Hot Trends"Debt reduction" is a hot search on Yahoo(YHOO_) today after 100s of consumers were victims of a fraudulent debt-relief program. Innovative Systems Technology, which was doing business under the name Briggs & Baker, claimed it could "drastically" reduce ones debt by directly dealing with creditors.
The Federal Trade Commission will mail refund checks for $104.09 to the 360 consumers who were involved with the deceptive operation. The Federal Trade Commission says Briggs & Baker's ads were "false and misleading," and that after dealing with the program some consumers' total debt actually increased.
Since the incident, new federal rules have been put in place to protect consumers. The amendments require for-profit debt-relief companies to disclose how long it will take to get results before consumers agree to sign up and can no longer charge upfront fees.
"Nintendo 3DS" is trending on the Internet today after it was announced that Nintendo's 3D portable game console will be available in Japan in Feb. The 3DS will roll out in the United States. and Europe starting in March.
The highly anticipated handheld videogame system is expected to cost around 25,000 yen, which is close to $300, but official pricing for the United States. will be announced later.
The new DS will be available in black and aqua blue and will come with a 2GB SD storage card, a charging cradle and 6AR cards. The device has 2 screens, one 3D screen and one touch-screen, and 2 cameras that take 3D pictures.
Bridesmaid Dresses
Amazon.com a New Place to Shop for Discounted Bridesmaid Dresses?
When a woman is invited to be part of a wedding party, the 1st thing that usually goes through her mind is, “What do the bridesmaid dresses look like?”
The second question usually is, “How much are the bridesmaid dresses?”
All women want to be part of their best friends’ bridal parties, but the cost of purchasing a dress on top of the wedding gift that they're obligated to give, can be a bit of a downer.
More and more women are trying to find discounts on their bridesmaid dress, but it is hard to find the exact dress online sometimes. Lately a large number of women are flocking to Amazon in order to buy the dress that they need.
Amazon offers a huge variety of dresses for any occasion, but there seem to be a plethora of bridesmaid and prom dresses on the online shopping website.
Mary Toliver of Cape Coral, FL found her dress online at Amazon for a 45% off discount.
“I was told I needed to purchase this Champagne colored Satin Gown, and the store that the bride recommended was selling it for $120. I went online and found it for only $65 on Amazon,” explained Toliver.

random thoughts
my random thought posts are always popular, and I've sure as hell got plenty of them, so why not?
also. I may or may not have already taken my Ambien... along with a swig of NyQuil to silence my cough.
don't judge me. I need sleep. Mandee need sleep! you woke my sleep! I been sleep! (extra points for reference)

lately I've just been wearing my wedding band, without my engagement ring. I don't know why, I just took my rings off one night to put lotion on, and since then, I've just been wearing the band. I like the way it looks. it's nice and simple but still puts out the message of "hey motherfucker, I'm married." not that I ever really need to explain that, cause I really don't get hit on a lot. whatev.

I wish Mama Cat could be just a little more cooperative when it comes to taking her antibiotics. first of all, I have to give her ear drops... 4-5 of them... in EACH ear. not fun. and on top of that, I have to give her an antibiotic ORALLY every 24 hours.
this bitch is the biggest pain in the ass to get a hold of, especially when she knows I'm going to hold her down and force drops in her ears and pills in her throat. I don't know how people do it on a regular basis, I really don't.
I mean I can barely hold on to her strong ass, let alone hold her and THEN force a pill down her throat... which mostly leads to her spitting it back out and running away. luckily, she's taking a trip to the vet on Thursday for a follow up, so maybe they'll be able to show me an easier way to make this shit happen. or just wave a magic wand. that would work too.

I'm spending way too much time at the computer lately. I spent forever (yes, literally... forever) on Facebook last night and tonight trying to upload all those damn pictures. and now I'm here blogging about shit that doesn't even matter, all because I have the urge to write. does that make sense to anyone? I'm pretty loopy from the medicine I took, but I still feel like I have something to write about.

I am super pumped about this weekend. I'm driving out to Denton on Saturday to finally get my sleeve completed. I plan on bringing the Rebel so I can get some shots of Black Anchor's Tattoo Shop. I love the location of their shop... it's in the "downtown" area of Denton, which basically consists of like 3 streets lined with old ass buildings.
I can't wait to have my sleeve done so I can stop telling people "yes, there is going to be color" and "no, I'm not leaving it black and grey, and even if I did leave it black and gray, I don't understand this 'gothic' reference you're making to me right now."
yeah, that happened today. some dude my dad knew back in the day came into our office and was drilling me about tattoos... asking what each of them were for, and then said "so, are you into gotchic?" what? I don't even understand what that means. I feel like I should have been offended, but I really just wanted to laugh. I just said "hmm, nope, not that I know of."

I'm definitely not going to remember writing any of this tomorrow. sip on that.
oh wait, there's an unsuspecting Mama Cat snuggling next to me. time to give her the pill! yippeeee, this should be fun! see you bitches tomorrow!
tailgating fun

OU/Print Shop
I was browsing at Urban Outfitters today and noticed a new section in their Apartment tab called Print Shop. turns out, they've teamed up with Society6 artists and are now selling affordable prints (affordable meaning $25-$55... schwing!), which are created by numerous artists worldwide. pretty neato if you ask me!
